What is CoolSculpting®?
With more non-invasive options available, many people are choosing nonsurgical fat reduction over procedures like liposuction or body lifts. CoolSculpting is a popular FDA-cleared body contouring treatment that uses cryolipolysis to eliminate stubborn fat. This process involves controlled cooling delivered via a specialized handpiece with gentle suction. The cooling penetrates deep into the fat layers, causing the fat cells to crystallize and lose functionality. Over time, the body naturally flushes these damaged cells away.
Typically, results are noticeable a few months after the first treatment. Patients often undergo multiple sessions for optimal results, with at least two treatments per area being common. Each session can take as little as one hour, depending on the number of areas being addressed.
CoolSculpting is widely favored for its effectiveness and versatility. It can target areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and chin, which are spots where fat can be resistant to diet and exercise. Many people prefer it over invasive procedures because it’s low-risk, requires no downtime, and is relatively painless.
Who is a Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is suitable for a wide range of individuals, particularly those who prefer non-surgical options. Ideal candidates are those working toward a healthy weight or maintaining a balanced lifestyle. It’s most effective for individuals near their ideal weight. A consultation with Dr. Sweat can help determine whether CoolSculpting aligns with your goals and create a customized treatment plan.

The Procedure
CoolSculpting works by freezing and destroying fat cells through cryolipolysis. These cells are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body. Unlike surgical options, CoolSculpting doesn’t require anesthesia or incisions, which reduces risks and recovery time.
However, individuals with larger fat deposits, loose skin, or poor skin elasticity may benefit more from surgical procedures like liposuction or a body lift. Dr. Sweat can guide you in choosing the best approach for your needs.
CoolSculpting Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting can address many different areas of the body, including:
Chin: Defines the jawline and reduces the appearance of a double chin.
Abdomen: Targets fat to sculpt a toned waistline.
Hips: Reduces fat to enhance body contours.
Flanks (Love Handles): Slims the waistline for a more defined silhouette.
Back: Smooths bulges by freezing fat deposits.
Thighs: Shapes the inner and outer thighs for a leaner appearance.
Upper Arms: Reduces fat to create slimmer, firmer-looking arms.
Benefits
of CoolSculpting
We provide CoolSculpting to our patients as it is a proven and effective solution to stubborn fat pockets. It also offers many benefits, such as a boost in confidence.
What to Expect
Patients typically see noticeable improvements within three weeks of their procedure, with results continuing to enhance over two to three months as the body flushes out fat cells. Maximum results are often visible around the two-month mark.
However, it is important to remember that CoolSculpting doesn’t replace a healthy lifestyle but can be an excellent complement. Maintaining results requires a balanced diet and regular exercise, as future weight gain can affect untreated areas.
