What Is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps reduce stubborn fat pockets in certain areas of the body like the abdomen, thighs, back and buttocks. It uses controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells — one treatment can reduce up to 2–25% of fat cells in a treated area!
CoolSculpting®’s technical name is cryolipolysis, which is just a scientifically accurate way to say fat freezing. Quite literally, CoolSculpting® freezes and kills fat cells to make toning stubborn fat a lot less troubling. CoolSculpting is FDA-approved to reduce visible bulges in specific targeted areas of the body, including under the chin, flank, upper back, abdomen, outer and inner thigh, upper arm, under the buttocks and the distal (back of) thigh.
Freezing fat cells might seem strange, but it’s a proven stomach and fat-toning procedure. Once fat cells are frozen and die off, your body will naturally eliminate the dead cells in 1-3 months or more.
CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss solution, but rather a stomach and body toning procedure that helps contour specific areas for a more sculpted appearance. CoolSculpting® is the treatment doctors use most for non-surgical fat reduction.

CoolSculpting® Important Safety Information
The CoolSculpting® procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting® procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
Tell your doctor if you have any medical conditions including recent surgery, pre-existing hernia, and any known sensitivities or allergies.
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental or submandibular area treatment.
Rare side effects may also occur. CoolSculpting® may cause a visible enlargement in the treated area which may develop two to five months after treatment and requires surgical intervention for correction.
