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.

I’ve been going to Skin Thesis for a while now, and even though it’s an hour drive for me, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Jordanna is the best I trust her completely with my face. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always makes me feel confident in everything she does. I get my Botox and peels with her, and I recently tried the PRX facial… I’m obsessed. It took about 30 minutes, no pain, zero downtime, and my skin looks AMAZING. If you’re thinking about trying it do it. Totally worth it.

can’t say enough good things about Jordanna. She is incredibly gentle, extremely knowledgeable, and truly an expert at what she does. The space she works in is beautiful and serene, and the whole experience always feels calm and relaxing. What I appreciate most is how well she understands my preference for a very natural look. She has been the only person who has ever touched my face, and I trust her completely. She knows exactly how to enhance without ever making anything look overdone or fake. If you want someone who is talented, honest, and focused on subtle, natural results, she is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face.

Skip this place. They are terrible on time management. Two separate times I had appoints & was kept waiting. Today it was an hour of waiting, even aside from numbing time, they had zero communication with me as to how long it would take. I left without treatment. I asked the owner to call, and she did not. She had a “Manager” call. No thanks— there are a ton of other providers willing to take good care of their clients.

I had the most amazing experience with Jordanna Burke at Skin Thesis. She recently did a PRX treatment on my skin and I’m honestly beyond thrilled with the results. My skin looks glowy and flawless, plump, hydrated, and completely rejuvenated — it truly is the definition of a “no peel peel.” Zero downtime I just been hydrating it and keep it moisturized . The treatment was totally painless, which I loved, and I’m so glad I trusted her (as always). Jordanna really knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s conservative in the best way — never overdone, always natural — but somehow still gives you those flawless, realistic, glowing results every single time. That’s why she’s been my go-to injector for years. And the new Skin Thesis office? Absolutely beautiful. The whole space feels elevated, calming, and chic. The green everywhere is stunning ! I couldn’t recommend her more.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Skinthesis. From the moment you walk in, the entire staff is warm, professional, and incredibly kind. Jordanna is who I see for everything and she is exceptional. What I appreciate most is her integrity she will absolutely talk you out of something if she doesn’t believe it’s right for you. She genuinely cares about long term results and keeping everything natural and balanced. I trust her completely, and when it comes to my skin, that means everything. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you’re looking for a place where you feel safe, heard, and truly cared for, this is it.

It’s a privilege to be in the hands of Melissa and her team. Every time since my initial appointment, Melissa and Nurse Katie have made my treatments feel personal. I’ve had many skin lasers and injectables over the years with various reputable practitioners, but at Skin Thesis it actually feels like the expertise and attention to detail is specifically for me with honesty and care. I’ve had amazing results and I’m thankful for the confidence it gives me. Trust Melissa, Nurse Katie and their team, they know what they are doing.

This place is absolutely incredible! Jordanna Burke was my practitioner. I came in thinking I wanted one thing and she, with thoughtful consideration, directed me to something that was more beneficial for my particular needs. I had a procedure called Moxie and although I'm only on day 5 post procedure the youthfulness of my skin is noticeable. Thank you for the entire staff. Everyone is kind and supportive, highly recommended. Also, they have a new location and although I didn't go to the last one, this one is Stellar. 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
