CoolSculpting
The ugly truth is, we all have stubborn fat. And as we age, gravity and genetics only make things worse. Proper diet and exercise are not enough to keep these unwanted bulges at bay. CoolSculpting is the solution for getting back the body you want, without surgery or downtime.
CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary non-surgical contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat, which is then naturally eliminated from your body. No needles, no surgery, and most importantly, no downtime. It’s safe, FDA-cleared, effective, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting works by delivering precisely controlled cooling to safely and effectively target fat cells beneath the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. During the procedure, the fat cells in the treated area are exposed to freezing temperatures, causing them to crystallize (freeze). This process, known as cryolipolysis, triggers the natural death of these fat cells.
Over the following weeks and months, your body’s lymphatic system gradually processes and eliminates the dead fat cells, permanently removing them from your body. Once the fat cells are gone, they cannot regenerate, leaving behind a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment, there is no need for surgery, anesthesia, or downtime. It’s an effective solution for stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, helping you achieve long-lasting results in specific areas.
CoolSculpting Treatment Areas
Abdomen
The abdomen is one of the most common areas for fat accumulation, especially around the lower belly. Factors like genetics, hormonal changes, or lifestyle habits can make it difficult to shed fat in this region. CoolSculpting precisely targets these stubborn fat pockets, freezing and eliminating fat cells to help create a flatter, more defined midsection. Whether it’s a pouch of fat below the navel or overall abdominal fullness, CoolSculpting can help refine your waistline.

Flanks (Love Handles)
Love handles, or the pockets of fat around the sides of the waist, can be tough to reduce with exercise alone. These areas often resist traditional weight loss methods and can disrupt the natural hourglass shape or V-line physique. CoolSculpting effectively reduces the size of these fat deposits, helping to contour the waist and enhance the appearance of a slimmer torso.

Chin (Double Chin)
Fat under the chin, also known as submental fat, can create the appearance of a double chin and make the jawline less defined. CoolSculpting targets and reduces these fat cells, helping to contour the neck and jawline for a sharper, more youthful profile. This treatment is particularly popular for those looking for a non-surgical alternative to improve facial aesthetics.

Thighs (Inner + Outer)
The thighs can hold onto excess fat that affects the overall balance of the lower body. CoolSculpting is effective for both the inner thighs, which can contribute to chafing or rubbing, and the outer thighs, often referred to as “saddlebags.” Treatment can reduce the fat in these areas, improving the thigh gap and creating a smoother, more proportionate appearance.

Upper Back (Bra Line)
Fat deposits along the back, including the middle and lower back – sometimes called the “bra line” – can create rolls or bulges that are challenging to target with diet or exercise. CoolSculpting helps to smooth and reduce fat in this area, allowing for a sleeker look and a more confident fit in bras, dresses, and tops.

Upper Arms
Excess fat on the upper arms can lead to a “bat wing” appearance, where the arms appear less firm and toned. CoolSculpting helps sculpt this area, reducing fat and improving the overall shape of the arms for a more contoured and confident look.

CoolSculpting Procedure
The CoolSculpting procedure is a comfortable and straightforward treatment designed to target and freeze unwanted fat cells. During the session, a gel pad is applied to the treatment area to protect the skin, followed by the placement of a vacuum applicator. The applicator delivers controlled cooling to the targeted area while gently suctioning the skin and fat into the applicator cup.
As the treatment begins, you may feel sensations of pulling, pressure, or intense cold, which are normal and indicate that the process is working. These sensations may also include stinging, tingling, aching, or cramping but typically subside as the area becomes numb within a few minutes.
Once the applicator is removed, the treated area may appear red, swollen, or stiff, and transient blanching (temporary whitening of the skin) may occur. The provider may massage the area briefly to help break up the crystallized fat cells and enhance the results. After the procedure, you can return to your normal activities, as CoolSculpting requires no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions About CoolSculpting
Am I a candidate for CoolSculpting?
Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting have some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise, such as double chins, abdominal fat, love handles, back fat and fat bulges from menopause. We recommend a CoolSculpting consultation with one of our CoolSculpting specialists to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure and to review the procedure with you.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed and your ultimate goals. A customized treatment plan will be created with our CoolSculpting Specialist that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
Is there pain during or after the procedure? Are there side effects or downtime?
CoolSculpting has no downtime! It is safe and completely non-invasive which allows immediate return to work, exercise, and other normal activities. Although there may be some minor discomfort during the first 10 minutes as the fat is drawn into the applicator and cooled, no pain medication or anesthetic is needed. The procedure is comfortable enough to read, work on a laptop, listen to music with headphones or take a nap during the procedure. Afterward, patients experience redness which usually lasts minutes to hours. Some patients may experience bruising, tenderness, and itching for 1 to 2 weeks and a temporary dulling of sensation for 1 or more weeks.
Is the CoolSculpting procedure safe?
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for non-surgical fat reduction on the flank (love handles), abdomen, bra line, inner thigh, outer thigh, and now the double chin. With over one million CoolSculpting procedures performed, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.
When will I see results?
You may start to see changes as quickly as four weeks after your first CoolSculpting treatment and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. Your body will flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment. Individual results may vary.
What happens If I gain weight in the future?
Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it more evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
One of the benefits of BBL HEROic is minimal to no downtime. Patients may experience some redness or mild swelling immediately after the treatment, but these effects usually subside within a few hours. Most patients can resume their daily activities right away.
When will I see results from BBL HEROic?
Some improvements may be visible immediately, and results typically continue to develop over the following weeks as the skin regenerates. The full benefits are usually seen within 2-4 weeks post-treatment.
Are the results of BBL HEROic permanent?
While BBL HEROic can offer long-lasting results, it does not stop the natural aging process or the effects of sun exposure. Regular treatments and a good skincare regimen, including sunscreen, can help prolong results.
