CoolSculpting® Treatment: What to Expect

Unlike other fat-removal methods, CoolSculpting® treatment takes very little time; you can easily fit an appointment into a lunch break. Each treatment lasts one hour, and has no downtime. After a CoolSculpting treatment, you should be able to get right back to your busy day.

Most patients see a noticeable reduction in fat after a single treatment, although it takes a few months to fully realize its effects, mainly because it takes that long for the body to naturally dispose of fat cells. And, yes, you can lose even more with additional appointments if you and your doctor think it's necessary.

After a few months, you'll look better, and your clothes will fit better. What's more, there's no need to take pills or supplements of any kind. As long as you maintain your weight, you'll be able to maintain your CoolSculpting results. And, because it's noninvasive, CoolSculpting treatment has far fewer serious risks than liposuction. It can have side effects, however; they include redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, cramping, itching, tingling and numbness. All are temporary, and most patients tolerate them well.
