How Does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolSculpting was invented by dermatologists at Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard Medical Schools flagship hospital) and relies on a scientific process known as cryolipolysis, or controlled cooling to target and kill fat cells.

During the CoolSculpting procedure, a non-invasive applicator is placed on top of a stubborn bulge, such as belly fat. The applicator gently suctions the tissue, bringing the treatment areas into contact with cooling panels on the applicator. The underlying fat is then cooled over a short period of time, usually 35 minutes but no longer than an hour per application cycle. The surrounding skin and tissue is not harmed during this process. The cooling cycle initiates Cryolipolysis, crystallizing targeted fat cells, which then die and are naturally reduced from your body over the course of several months.¹*

What Areas Does CoolSculpting Treat?

CoolSculpting is FDA cleared to target stubborn fat from most areas of the body including:

the flanks (love handles)
abdomen (belly fat)
the submental area (double chins)
the thigh area
upper arms
bra fat
back fat
underneath the buttocks (banana roll.)

CoolSculpting FAQ

What is the science behind Cool Sculpting?

The science behind the Cool Sculpting procedure is called Cryolipolysis, which was developed by world-renowned dermatologists at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Their groundbreaking research showed that fat cells are more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other surrounding tissue and structures and that fat cells exposed to precisely controlled cooling can be safely reduced without harming the skin. This discovery led to the development of the Cool Sculpting procedure.

What are common CoolSculpting Side Effects?

The CoolSculpting procedure is extremely safe, non-invasive and has a much lower incidence of side effects than liposuction or other invasive procedures. Most commonly, there may be some temporary numbness, redness or minor bruising in the treatment area. The procedure is designed to deliver precise and controlled cooling to the fat cells below the skin layer without harming the skin. When properly performed by a skilled Cool Sculpting specialist, this treatment will not cause frostbite to the skin.

Are there any clinical studies to support Cool Sculpting’s safety and efficacy?

Clinical studies show that, for properly selected patients, the CoolSculpting procedure is a safe and effective way to reduce the fat layer, without the pain, risk, and recovery time of invasive procedures¹‚²‚³. CoolSculpting results in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas 2 to 4 months after a single CoolSculpting procedure.* Better results can be obtained with a second procedure performed 2 months after the first. There are no significant changes to lipid blood levels or liver function during the post-procedure period.

How much does Cool Sculpting cost?

CoolSculpting cost varies depending on the areas to be treated. One to three areas can typically be treated in one visit. A noticeable, measurable fat reduction is typically seen two to four months after a single CoolSculpting procedure.* At that point, patients can be evaluated to see if they are good candidates for second treatments to achieve further results.

How Many Cool Sculpting Treatment will I need?

There is extensive data showing that Cool Sculpting gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer in specific areas of the body after a single procedure. Published clinical study results indicate an average fat layer reduction of 22%* after a single Cool Sculpting treatment.³ Multiple treatments can lead to even more fat reduction and there is no limit to how many areas can be treated at a time. However, it is important to remember that it is not to be used as a weight loss agent or to treat obesity.

What CoolSculpting results can I expect?

In properly selected patients, CoolSculpting results in a noticeable, natural-looking reduction of fat bulges without the pain, risk, and recovery time of invasive procedures such as liposuction. CoolSculpting results can be seen after a single treatment and for those that wish to perform additional treatments, the results can become even more impressive. In fact, many patients who prefer avoiding liposuction can obtain dramatic results with a series of fat freezing treatments. As with all medical procedures, results may vary.*

When will I see my Cool Sculpting results?

Because Cool Sculpting utilizes the lymphatic system to absorb and process the treated fat, Cool Sculpting results take 2-4 months to manifest,² although results may vary.*

Is Cool Sculpting right for me?

Ideal Cool Sculpting patients are relatively fit, but have some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced by diet or exercise. The Cool Sculpting procedure is for spot fat reduction. It is not a way to lose weight, or to treat obesity.

Because proper patient selection is critical for obtaining ideal CoolSculpting results, it is critical for discerning patients to choose a CT CoolSculpting provider that focuses on quality, not quantity. At the Connecticut Skin Institute, we pride ourselves on prioritizing what is best for the patient and have turned away many patients that just were not ideal candidates for CoolSculpting.

Does Cool Sculpting hurt? What does Cool Sculpting feel like?

While individual experiences may vary, our patients typically find the Cool Sculpting procedure to be gentle and easy to tolerate.* Anesthesia and pain medication are not needed so patients can read a book, listen to music, work on their laptop or just relax during the procedure. When the Cool Sculpting applicator is placed on the skin, patients feel a pulling from the vacuum pressure that brings the skin into contact with the cooling panels. When the procedure begins, patients feel a cooling sensation that goes away after a few minutes.

Cool Sculpting requires no downtime and patients can resume their normal activities the same day, including work and exercise.

How to Get the Best CoolSculpting Results Possible?

CoolSculpting is a technique sensitive treatment, meaning the technology used, and the technician performing the procedure greatly influence your CoolSculpting results. This is why discerning patients choose the Connecticut Skin Institute their preferred CoolSculpting CT provider.
