How CoolSculpting Works

CoolSculpting does exactly what it sounds like – it freezes stubborn fat cells, and freezes them for good to unleash your gorgeous self!

Freezing off your fat may sound equal parts too good to be true and scary — but the science behind CoolSculpting is based on a groundbreaking discovery by the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.

Fat cells are rapidly cooled to the specific temperature where breakdown occurs, without harming any surrounding tissues. When our techs apply the CoolSculpting device to an area, controlled cooling essentially kills the targeted fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body as waste over the course of around 90 days. You may be thinking that sounds painful, and some patients do experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and should resolve completely.
