The entire procedure is performed right in the doctor’s office with no downtime or hospital stay.

CoolSculpting was released in 2017 for public use and it has helped thousands already. The CoolSculpting machine is extremely high-tech and is designed to freeze fat cells directly under it with no invasion or abrasion to the skin. Before your treatment, your Master trained CoolSculptng specialist will discuss the areas that you are concerned with, and before the application, he/she will outline the fat pockets you have decided to treat.

For both men and women, there are nine common areas FDA-approved for treatment:

1. Stubborn belly fat
2. “Love handles”
3. Upper thighs
4. Lower back
5. Back or bra area
6. Upper arms
7. Under chin; a double chin
8. Under the buttocks or the “banana roll”
9. Flanks or along the side of the body

Are the Results Permanent?

This amazing new state-of-the-art technology can treat up to two areas in the same appointment with no pre- or post-preparation required. Following the procedure, most people are free to return to work or go about their regular activities while the frozen cells begin to be washed away naturally by the body. The CoolSculpting tool does all the work, though drinking extra water is recommended during the elimination process, and within 10 days, you may begin to see results of the sculpting!

Typically, the total elimination of the cells that were frozen, killed, and eliminated from the body takes approximately 90 days, but when they’re gone, they’re gone for good! At this time, you may choose to do another treatment, in another area or to enhance the curves you received from the first treatment. However, it is suggested that you wait until the process is completed. We also recommended that you continue a healthy diet to keep your entire body healthy and functioning at an optimal level.
