1. What happens during the treatment?

Before the treatment begins we work with you to create a customized plan that works for your body, budget and goals. We begin the treatment by positioning the device on the target area on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.

2. What does it feel like?

As indicated by its name, when the cooling process begins, you will feel pressure and intense cold during the first few minutes. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment. The coolsculpting procedure is safe and effective for non surgical fat reduction. 

3. When will I see results?

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. Your body will still flush out fat cells and continue to do so for up to six months after the treatment. Remember, once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good!

4. How much does the CoolSculpting procedure cost?

The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on the area for treatment, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. We help create a customized treatment plan, in person, that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.

5. Is CoolSculpting right for me?

Ideal candidates will have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. The CoolSculpting procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however, a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
