Your CoolSculpting Procedure

CoolSculpting treatment is a non-invasive opens in a new windowprocedure, meaning no anesthetic, needles, incisions or lengthy recovery period are needed. CoolSculpting technology delivers controlled cooling to target the fat cells in the treatment area, which cause the fat cells to crystallize and then die.¹ Eventually, the body gets rid of the fat cells through its natural waste-removal system, resulting in a slimmer, more toned look.

During treatment, you can read a magazine, check your email or simply relax. It usually takes about an hour to treat a single area of the body, and we can treat multiple areas during a single appointment.

Your Recovery & Results

Since the procedure does not involve anesthesia, incisions or injections, you won’t need any downtime to recover. Afterward, you can immediately return to your normal routine. The treated area may experience temporary side effects, such as swelling, tingling or numbness, but these should diminish on their own.
