What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that targets and freezes fat cells using controlled cooling technology. The fat cells are crystallized and then naturally eliminated by the body over time. CoolSculpting is ideal for areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and under the chin, where fat is often difficult to lose through diet and exercise alone. With minimal discomfort and no downtime, CoolSculpting offers a convenient solution for body contouring.

Benefits of CoolSculpting Treatment

  • Non-Surgical Fat Reduction: Freeze away stubborn fat without the need for surgery or incisions.
  • FDA-Cleared and Safe: CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to reduce fat in treated areas.
  • No Downtime: Get back to your daily routine immediately after treatment, with no need for recovery time.
  • Targets Problem Areas: Effectively treats areas resistant to diet and exercise, including the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are eliminated, they are gone for good, giving you long-lasting results.
  • Comfortable Treatment: With options like loose clothing and potential pain relief, we ensure your comfort during the procedure.

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow these guidelines to ensure the safest treatment and best possible results:
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to support your body’s natural metabolic processes.
  • Avoid Blood-Thinning Supplements: If approved by your healthcare provider, avoid nonessential anti-inflammatory medications and blood-thinning supplements (Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo Biloba, etc.) for 48 hours before treatment. Do not discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your physician.
  • Limit Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment, as it may contribute to dehydration and bruising.
  • Wear Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of treatment, especially if treating the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or other body areas.
  • Eat Normally: Eat a normal meal before your appointment. There is no need to fast prior to treatment.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Please inform your provider if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Medical History: Please inform your provider of any significant medical history, allergies, medications, implanted medical devices, or recent procedures prior to treatment.
  • Cold-Related Conditions: Inform your provider if you have a history of cold-induced conditions such as cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria, Raynaud’s disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, as CoolSculpting® may not be appropriate.

During the Treatment

Your CoolSculpting treatment at Skin Thesis will be performed by a trained professional:
  • Procedure Duration: Each treatment session typically lasts 35-60 minutes per area, depending on the treatment plan.
  • Application of Cooling: A gel pad is placed on the targeted area, and the CoolSculpting device delivers controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells. You may feel intense cold for the first few minutes, followed by numbness as the area adjusts to the cooling.
  • Comfort and Relaxation: Most patients find the procedure comfortable and are able to relax, read, or even nap during the session. Pain relief measures can be used to ensure comfort if needed.
  • Post-Treatment Massage: After the cooling process, the area is gently massaged to help break down the fat cells and improve treatment results.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Proper post-treatment care is important to maximize your CoolSculpting results. Follow these instructions:
  • Return to Normal Activities: Most patients may resume normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
  • Stay Hydrated: Continue drinking plenty of water to support your body’s natural elimination of treated fat cells.
  • Exercise & Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise and a healthy diet may help optimize and maintain your results.
  • Massage the Area: If instructed by your provider, gently massage the treated area as directed following treatment.
  • Expected Side Effects: Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, tingling, itching, cramping, firmness, numbness, or sensitivity in the treated area are common and expected.
  • Numbness & Sensitivity: Temporary numbness or altered sensation may persist for several days to several weeks and typically resolves gradually.
  • Pain Relief: Tylenol® (acetaminophen) or Advil® (ibuprofen) may be used for discomfort if appropriate for you.
  • Expected Results: Initial changes may begin to appear within 3–4 weeks, with continued improvement over 2–3 months as the body naturally eliminates treated fat cells.
  • Important Note: CoolSculpting® is designed to reduce stubborn fat pockets and is not a weight-loss treatment. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help preserve and optimize your results.
  • Additional Treatments: Some patients may benefit from multiple treatment sessions depending on the treatment area and desired outcome. Your provider will recommend an individualized treatment plan.
  • Contact the Office Immediately If You Experience: Severe pain, significant swelling that worsens, skin discoloration that does not improve, signs of infection, or any unexpected reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

The number of sessions varies based on the treatment area and the amount of fat being targeted. Many patients achieve their desired results in one session, while others may benefit from additional treatments.

No, CoolSculpting has no downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. We actually recommend exercising aiding the body to excrete the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.

Results typically begin to appear within 3 weeks, with full results visible after 2-3 months as the body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells.

While you may experience some discomfort from the cold during the initial minutes of the treatment, the area becomes numb quickly. Some patients report mild soreness, swelling, or numbness after the treatment, but these side effects are temporary.
