CoolSculpting® offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction fat reduction or surgical fat removal. Many people carry pockets of unwanted fat in the abdomen, hips, flanks, thighs, arms, and chin, even if they are otherwise healthy and at their ideal overall weight. The Center for Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine’s professional and experienced dermatologists can help you find the figure you want by freezing unwanted fat with a personalized CoolSculpting procedure plan during your complimentary consultation.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an innovative fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis to eliminate areas of stubborn fat through controlled cooling technology. This means that it kills exercise-resistant fat cells by freezing them with a safe and effective applicator that is applied to the area of concern. The treated fat cells are frozen and destroyed during treatment, and the body naturally processes the dead cells as waste, which means they can no longer be stored or expand with weight gain, meaning the results are long-lasting.
What Areas Can Be Treated With CoolSculpting?
With CoolSculpting Elite, almost any area of your body with pinchable fat can be treated. This includes smaller areas like under the chin, as well as larger areas with dual applicators treating the upper and lower abdomen. Other areas you can freeze fat at the Center for Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine include:
- Inner and outer thighs
- Lower back
- Flanks (love handles)
- Upper arms
- Calves
What Can I Expect With CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a painless, safe, and easy procedure. Once your treatment plan has been determined during your consultation with our board-certified dermatologists, the fat-freezing applicator is applied to the problem areas. CoolSculpting is safe and precise, leaving the skin unaffected— in fact, the CoolSculpting system contains sensors that detect whether the skin becomes too cold during the treatment and immediately halts the freezing. CoolSculpting is only performed by our specially trained professionals that have undergone extensive CoolSculpting training.

CoolSculpting FAQs
Is CoolSculpting better than liposuction?
Liposuction and CoolSculpting are two very different treatments that target stubborn fat. The treatment option that’s right for you will depend on a number of factors including your concerns, their severity, and whether you are ready for surgery or not.
How much fat can CoolSculpting remove?
The amount of stubborn fat that is destroyed during CoolSculpting will depend on the treatment location and the number of treatment sessions you have. Most patients see noticeable improvements to their contour after optimal treatment sessions.
Can CoolSculpting help me lose weight?
CoolSculpting can improve your contour by removing fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, however, it is not an alternative to weight loss. You should be within your ideal weight range prior to receiving CoolSculpting.
How long does CoolSculpting last?
With proper diet and exercise, assuming you are at a stable weight prior to undergoing your CoolSculpting treatment, CoolSculpting results can last many years.
