CoolSculpting - Freeze your Fat Off!

I'm excited to share with you some before and after photos of our own CoolSculpting® patients! These patients had one treatment on their upper and lower abdomen and "love handles", and the female patient also received a bra fat treatment.



CoolSculpting® is a unique, non-invasive fat reduction procedure developed in 2007 by two Harvard dermatologists. It works by way of Cryolipolysis™ (frozen fat cell destruction). By using suction, the device is able to pull the target treatment area between two cooling panels and then chill that area for one hour. Following treatment, the body's own microscopic clean up crew naturally eliminates fat cells over the next few months.

Patients report that as the cooling starts, they feel pressure and cold initially but this dissipates. Many patients read, work on a laptop or take a nap until the treatment is complete, which can be one to three hours depending on the number of areas treated.

There is no downtime and many of our patients go back to work, finish running errands or hit the gym after the procedure. While some redness, minor bruising, tingling or discomfort can occur, they are temporary. On average it takes three months to see maximum results and patients will see a 20-25% reduction of fat in the treated area after just one treatment.

The procedure is safe, FDA-cleared and over 400,000 patients have been treated worldwide!

While the procedure does not result in weight loss, many patients report that their clothing fits better. Schedule a consultation with our providers today to see if CoolSculpting® is right for you!
