What areas of the body can be treated using the CoolSculpting fat-freezing treatment?

CoolSculpting can effectively reduce fat bulges in various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, love handles, arms, back fat, and double chin. During your initial consultation, our experienced team of dedicated professionals can help you determine which areas may benefit from CoolSculpting.

How long does a CoolSculpting treatment take?

The time needed for your CoolSculpting treatment often depends on the size and number of the areas being treated. Typically, a single treatment session can take 35 minutes to an hour, but this may vary based on your individual needs and goals.

Are the results permanent?

The fat cells targeted and eliminated during the CoolSculpting treatments are permanently removed from the body over several weeks through the lymphatic system. However, you will still need to maintain a healthier lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced nutritional diet to prevent new fat cells from forming in the treated area.

How soon will I see the results?

Many patients start seeing noticeable changes in their body shape as early as three weeks after their first treatment. The most dramatic results are often seen over several months and with continued treatments.
