CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that employs cryolipolysis — the use of cold temperatures to freeze and eliminate fat cells without harming surrounding tissues. The frozen fat cells crystallise and are subsequently naturally removed by the body’s immune system. This fat freezing treatment offers a non-invasive option for body contouring compared to traditional methods such as liposuction, with minimal to no downtime and significantly reduced risk.
While the terms fat reduction and weight loss might sound similar, they are in fact not the same. Weight loss decreases the size of fat cells in the body, while fat reduction reduces the number of fat cells through cryolipolysis, allowing it to target specific areas of fat bulges on the body to contour the figure.
As our bodies cease generating new fat cells after the age of five, the fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting are gone for the long term.
CoolSculpting is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) which means that not only is it safe, it is also effective. Research has shown that CoolSculpting is able to remove 20-27% of fat cells in the treatment area each time.

CoolSculpting is suitable for individuals who have noticeable bulges of fat in specific areas that they wish to target, despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is not intended for significant weight loss or obesity treatment.
The number of sessions required varies, depending on individual goals and the targeted area. Many individuals see noticeable results after just one session, while others may opt for additional treatments to further enhance their results.

CoolSculpting typically requires minimal to no downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, some may experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or numbness in the treated area, which usually subside within a few days.
Once the targeted fat cells are eliminated from the body, they do not return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet is important to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding.
CoolSculpting is generally well-tolerated by patients and is not considered a painful procedure. Some individuals may experience sensations of cold, tingling, or mild discomfort during the initial cooling phase, but these sensations usually subside as the area becomes numb.
