CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure. Fat cells certainly take up a lot of space and have a lot of volume, but they don’t weigh very much. The opposite is true of muscle. Lean muscle weighs more than fat but doesn’t take up a ton of space. So although you won’t see the scale change if you do CoolSculpting in isolation, you will see undeniable results. CoolSculpting can sculpt, contour, reshape, resize, and debulk parts of your body that don’t care how many hours you put in at the gym or how well you eat. And if you are just starting a weight loss journey, CoolSculpting can help you achieve your goals faster, stay on track and see changes that you can achieve with diet and exercise alone.

After many years of research, you can feel confident that the CoolSculpting procedure is based on sound science.  There are over 100 peer-reviewed publications by leading researchers and clinicians! http://coolsculptinghcp.com/fat-freezing-science/scientific-results/

This is a popular question and sometimes that answer isn’t clear cut. Both procedures will get rid of fat in a lasting one. Both procedures can dramatically improve your self-perception and confidence and both procedures are highly effective. The biggest difference we have found is that a huge percentage of people, although they hate their fat and want their body to change, are not willing to go under the knife or experience the potential side-effects that often come with liposuction. Downtime, bad outcomes, pain, and scarring are just a few of the things our CoolSculpting clients often say they are not willing to endure. Each individual must ask themselves what they are looking to achieve and what they are willing to go through in order to get an outcome they are happy with now and long term.

So many of our clients are moms. They love their children and have poured their hearts and souls into them. But what they are less than thrilled with is the impact the kids have had on their body, confidence and self-perception. Often mothers have a tough time regaining their pre-baby body no matter how hard they workout or how well they eat. Rather than continually beating themselves up, they look to CoolSculpting to reshape, contour, sculpt and resize the area(s) of their bodies that changed during and after pregnancy. Fortunately CoolSculpting works beautifully on fat regardless of if you are male, female, younger, older, mom or no mom. It will freeze away that stubborn fat and leave you with undeniable results you are thrilled with.

No. Coolsculpting is a non-surgical, noninvasive treatment which you will not need to receive anesthesia for.

CoolSculpting is effective each and every time you do a treatment. Depending on body shape, size, which area(s) you are treating, and what final results you want, we can determine how many times you will want to do CoolSculpting. We have 1000s of before and after photos of our own clients so it is very easy to show you results of those who look similar to you so you can determine which outcome is most attractive to you!

We have many clients who are fit! Each and every person is in their own body and often regardless of if you have a lot of excess tissue or a small amount, you want it to change. CoolSculpting can address large or small pockets equally as effectively. Often when you are very fit, the last little bit of stubborn fat is even tougher to get rid of. Spot reduction for those who are really lean is often very difficult and the wide range of applicator sizes allows us to address the areas that frustrate you, large or small, beautifully! Lean people often want to sculpt and contour and CoolSculpting is perfect for that!

Often people think I’m not doing the right things, so CoolSculpting isn’t right for me. The truth is, if you are just starting your healthy lifestyle journey, CoolSculpting might be perfect. We often find that people need a little motivation, they are so tired of not seeing the changes they want, they’ve given up. Once they invest in their own body and start to see changes, they are inspired and motivated to stay on track! Come in for a consult and see if CoolSculpting is right for you!

You should plan to experience swelling as the primary side-effect, Coolsculpting is an FDA approved treatment in both the US and Europe. 

The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, which makes returning to normal activities afterwards a typically easy process. Often times, patients even return to work after their CoolSculpting treatment is over.

Aesthetica can now treat chin and neck fat!  Coolsculpting is now the only FDA treatment device approved for the treatment of chin and neck fat.  But this is in addition to all the other areas that have been approved including 

• abdomen
• waist and flanks
• outer and innter thighs
• arms
• back
• But really almost anywhere except for the face

The fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting procedure gradually die off and are eliminated from the body through a natural elimination process.  Those cells are dead and gone and never to return.

That’s why the results are long-term. 

It takes up to 12 weeks to see the optimal results after a Coolsculpting treatment.

Many of our mom clients have had one or more C-sections. They are incredibly frustrated with the look of their abdomen and feel it is impossible to gain back their old body after a C-section. This can absolutely be true unless you get outside help from a technology like CoolSculpting. Scarring and uneven pockets of fat on an abdomen can leave moms feeling badly about their shape, size and body. Fortunately, once the C-section scar has healed- we wait at least 6 months and breast-feeing has stopped (if you chose to breast feed), we can proceed with CoolSculpting confidently and know we can reduce the excess fat around the abdomen that just won’t go away. We love sharing our own client before and after photos of moms with C-sections so you can see what type of results to expect on your own body!

The treated areas of fat are completely eliminated.  You will not get fat in other areas unless you gain weight for any OTHER reason.   You are therefore encouraged to maintain your weight by appropriate lifestyle changes or at least maintaining the diet and exercise regime that you already have.  

Yes. You will feel and look swollen for the 4-12 weeks after the treatment as your body slowly cleanses itself of the dead fat cells.
