Reshape Your Body Without Surgery
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, but a body contouring procedure that freezes and permanently eliminates stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise.
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, but a body contouring procedure that freezes and permanently eliminates stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise. The scientifically proven process uses controlled cooling to target fat cells underneath the skin, causing them to crystallize and die. Your body then naturally processes these dead cells over time, resulting in a more sculpted appearance.
Permanent Reduction
Treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen) and naturally processed by your body, never to return.
Pinpoint Precision
Target specific trouble spots like love handles, double chin, or arm fat without affecting surrounding tissue.
No Downtime
Return to your daily activities immediately after your session. No needles, no anesthesia.

Common Questions
Is CoolSculpting painful?+
Most patients feel intense cold initially, which usually numbs the area within 5-10 minutes. During the massage immediately after treatment, you may feel some discomfort (often described as tingling or stinging), but it is brief and manageable.
How soon will I see results?+
You may start to see changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results appearing between 1 to 3 months. Your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months.
Is the fat reduction permanent?+
Yes. The fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.
Can CoolSculpting help me lose weight?+
CoolSculpting is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. It is designed to target stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise haven't shifted. It's best for people near their ideal weight who want to sculpt specific areas.
How many sessions do I need?+
Many patients see results after just one treatment, but depending on your goals and the amount of fat in the area, a second session may be recommended to enhance the reduction.
