Results
Your CoolSculpting Results
The results of a CoolSculpting treatment aren’t immediate. Instead, they develop gradually as your body naturally processes treated fat cells over the following weeks. By 2 to 4 months after treatment, your final results should be apparent — revealing a smoother, more contoured silhouette.
Once eliminated, treated fat cells won’t return. However, your remaining fat cells can still enlarge in relation to your diet and exercise habits, so maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle is the best way to enjoy your results for as long as possible.

Schedule a Consultation →Not exactly. Although CoolSculpting and liposuction both have the same objective – reducing excess fat – CoolSculpting isn’t as versatile as liposuction. However, CoolSculpting is still an excellent option for men and women who want to reduce specific areas of fat without undergoing surgery. During your consultation, I carefully evaluate your areas of concern and help guide you to the decision that best matches your lifestyle, budget, and desired results.
No. CoolSculpting uses a proprietary process called cryolipolysis that ensures it targets only fat cells. Cryolipolysis was developed by Harvard researchers, and its safety and effectiveness are well documented.1 Our fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than skin and muscle cells, which are completely undamaged by the low temperatures. The CoolSculpting device also comes equipped with several features to maintain a consistent temperature throughout each treatment, further maximizing its safety.
Although some patients may only require a single CoolSculpting treatment, it is more common to undergo multiple sessions over a period of time. Our team will work closely with you to create a custom non-surgical body sculpting plan that addresses your exact needs.
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for non-surgical fat reduction and is generally considered to be a very low-risk treatment. The most common side effects include temporary redness, tingling, and skin sensitivity.
CoolSculpting is so comfortable that it doesn’t require any anesthesia to undergo. It’s unlikely you will feel any pain or discomfort during your treatment. Expect to feel a bit of suction as the device attaches to your treatment area, followed by some intense cooling. Once this cold fades into numbness, you should feel comfortable enough to read, relax, or even nap for the rest of your session.
As clinical studies confirm, most people notice a 20 to 25% fat reduction in the months following treatment. Our own client reviews and before-and-after photos certainly reflect this.
CoolSculpting is not an ideal treatment for tightening loose or excess skin. If you are looking to tighten skin as well as reduce stubborn fat, you are likely a better candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. Or, you can combine your CoolSculpting with a non-surgical skin tightening option, such as SkinTyte™.
While the fat freezing process seems simple enough to DIY, please do not attempt to recreate CoolSculpting at home. The device is specially designed with temperature control technology and multidirectional cooling to make sure you get your best results without experiencing skin irritation and other harmful effects. An at-home approach may cause damage to your skin and won’t produce noticeable results.
