CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-
approved treatment that uses
patented technology to safely freeze
fat cells in the body. This targeted
procedure allows crystallized fat cells
to die off so that they can be
gradually and naturally eliminated
from the body while healthy skin and
muscle remain intact.
What is CoolSculpting?
Before After

The CoolSculpting procedure is the only, non-invasive
procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to
gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific
areas of the body. The procedure involves no incisions and
no anesthesia and reduces the fat layer without harming
the skin or other tissues.
During the procedure, a non-invasive applicator is applied
to the skin surface to deliver precisely controlled cooling
to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of the
body. As they are exposed to cooling, the fat cells begin a
process of natural cell removal. The fat cells in the treated
area are gradually eliminated through the body's normal
metabolic processes, similar to how fat from food is
eliminated.
How does CoolSculpting work?
Before After

Recently, ZELTIQ Aesthetics launched
a brand new applicator designed to
treat a wider range of different areas
and body types. Longer and harder
to reach areas of fat can now be
targeted with ease. This allows your
physician to customize your
treatment to suit your body’s unique
shape and needs.
NEW and Improved CoolFit Applicator
Before After

The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting is someone who already
maintains a healthy diet and exercises regularly, but who
maybe still struggles with small pockets of unwanted fat. “Love
handles,” “tummy pooch,” and “muffin top” are all examples
of problem areas that are easily treated with CoolSculpting. If
you’re within 10-15 pounds of your goal weight and willing to
keep up a healthy lifestyle after your treatment, CoolSculpting
might be the perfect solution for you.
CoolSculpting will not significantly reduce large areas of fat. By
the same token, if you’re too thin, the effects will be minimal
and the treatment could prove to be more painful. Dr.
Schlessinger will determine if you’re a good candidate for
CoolSculpting at the time of your free consultation.
Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
Before After

Choosing the right procedure depends upon where your areas of unwanted fat are and how much fat there is to eliminate. CoolSculpting
removes about 25-30% of fat in an area while tumescent liposuction removes about 60%. SmartLipo removes around 75%.
The recovery time for CoolSculpting is essentially nonexistent. It can be done during your lunch hour and it’s great for someone who
doesn’t have a lot of time off of work or whose active lifestyle won’t allow for downtime. No special garments or pain medications are
required. Tumescent liposuction and SmartLipo are invasive procedures that require a recovery time of a one to two days. There is
potential for swelling and bruising in the weeks following, and special care and prescription medication may be needed to aid recovery.
CoolSculpting, SmartLipo and tumescent liposuction are not weight loss solutions or a viable method to jump start a weight loss program.
With all three treatment options, results vary depending on your diet and exercise regimen after the procedure. Maintaining a
consistently healthy lifestyle is crucial in order to experience long term results with any fat eliminating treatment.
The cost of each treatment will depend on which areas are treated and how many procedures you opt to have. If two or more
CoolSculpting treatments are needed, the cost may add up to be about the same for CoolSculpting and SmartLipo or tumescent
liposuction.
How does CoolSculpting compare to
SmartLipo and tumescent liposuction?
Before After

After one visit, you'll typically see
a noticeable reduction of fat. It
takes 60-90 days to fully realize
the effects, mainly because it
takes that long for your body to
naturally dispose of the fat cells.
The areas treated will gradually
decrease in size to your eventual
shape.
How soon will I see results?
Before After

Many patients are satisfied after just one treatment, but if another
treatment is desired, it can be done about four months after the
initial treatment. Package rates are applied if you desire to have
more than one treatment or if multiple areas are treated on the
same day.
How many treatments will I need?
Before After

During your hour-long treatment, you’ll
generally feel a suctioning sensation. You may
also experience tingling during or after the
procedure due to the intense cold.
Most of our patients have felt nothing, and all
have gone back to work the day of the
procedure with minimal redness and
discomfort. None have needed anesthetic or
mediation before or after the procedure, but we
do have these available upon request.
Does CoolSculpting hurt?
Before After

Procedures that use laser, sonic waves and even surgery to
remove fat can actually destroy other tissue in the process
by burning, shattering or extracting non-fat cells. This
requires downtime for your body to heal. In contrast,
CoolSculpting doesn’t burn, shatter or extract any cells.
Developed by Harvard scientists, this FDA-cleared,
patented procedure uses a targeted cooling process that
kills the fat cells underneath the skin, literally freezing
them to the point of elimination. Only fat cells are frozen.
Your healthy skin cells remain, well, healthy. No knives. No
suction hoses. No needles. No scars. Once crystalized, the
fat cells die and are naturally eliminated from your body.
Is CoolSculpting safe?
