CoolSculpting Cosmetic Procedure

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis, a process that freezes and destroys fat cells in targeted areas of the body. This FDA-cleared procedure is designed for people who want to reduce excess fat that’s resistant to diet and exercise.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolSculpting works by exposing fat cells to controlled cooling temperatures, which causes them to crystallise and die. The body naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells over time, reducing the fat layer in the treated area. The surrounding skin, muscles, and tissues are unaffected, making the procedure safer than more invasive methods.

Who is CoolSculpting For?

CoolSculpting is suitable for individuals who:

• Are near their ideal weight but have specific areas of fat that are difficult to target with diet and exercise.
• Prefer a non-surgical option for fat reduction.
• Do not want to undergo downtime or recovery associated with surgical procedures.

It is not a weight-loss solution or a treatment for obesity.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

CoolSculpting can be used to target:

• Abdomen
• Sides
• Thighs
• Arms
• Back
• Chin

What to Expect During a Session

During a CoolSculpting session, an applicator is placed on the targeted area, delivering controlled cooling to the fat beneath the skin. Each session typically lasts 35–60 minutes per area, depending on the applicator and treatment plan. Patients may experience a pulling sensation, mild discomfort, or temporary numbness during the treatment.

When Will You See Results?

Results are gradual, as the body eliminates the treated fat cells over weeks to months. Most patients notice changes within 1–3 months, with optimal results visible after 3 months.

Outcomes of CoolSculpting

• Non-invasive with no needles or incisions
• Minimal to no downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately
• Long-lasting results if a healthy lifestyle is maintained

Potential Risks and Side Effects

• Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area
• Tingling or numbness, which usually resolves on its own
• Rarely, a condition called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, where fat cells enlarge rather than shrink
