Everything You Need to Know About CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is the only FDA approved treatment to freeze away your fat with long-lasting results. What you need to know before you book.

CoolSculpting is the only FDA approved treatment to freeze away your fat with long-lasting results. Many CoolSculpting Beverly Hills patients have many questions about this non-invasive surgery and our professionals are here to help.

How Does it Work?

CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical procedure with almost no downtime. This treatment includes cryolpolysis, where fat cells are exposed to freezing temperatures to result in the death of those cells. The fat cells are broken down by the immune system within two to three months of their death.

What Occurs During a Treatment?

After arriving for your treatment, a professional will review the target area to be treated. A gel pad will be provided for protection and the excess fat will be pinched into the CoolSculpting applicator. The target area will quickly become numb from the cold and will continue to do so for the duration of the treatment. Afterward, the target area will be red and for some, may look as if there is a lump beneath the skin. The provider will massage the site and you will be able to continue will your day as normal after the treatment.

What Side Effects May Occur?

The most common side effect has been found to be a feeling of soreness or a "pins and needles" sensation. Side effects vary from patient to patient but most are symptom-free.

How Do I Know if This Treatment is For Me?

CoolSculpting is primarily a body contouring treatment, not a weight loss device. Consultations before the procedure will confirm if you are a candidate for this treatment. CoolSculpting has been designed to assist in the flattening of stubborn areas of extra fat, like love handles, outer thigh excess, and lower stomach fat excess. Contact CoolSculpting Beverly Hills to book a consultation and find out if this treatment is right for you.

What Else Can I Do?

CoolSculpting treatments contour the areas of unneeded fat. If the target area requires it, multiple sessions can allow for the best results. Other than the CoolSculpting treatment, more invasive surgeries may be recommended by a health professional. CoolSculpting is often times the last step after receiving a weight loss treatment in further contouring the body.
