How Does CoolSculpting Work

CoolSculpting ® fat reduction uses patented cooling technology to remove fat cells, without surgery or downtime. So, thanks science. And thanks to the scientists from Harvard that developed this ground-breaking, FDA-cleared fat-freezing treatment CoolSculpting ® delivers noticeable and lasting results to help you look and feel your very best.

The reality is that occasionally persistent fat simply will not budge, regardless of how extreme the workout or how strict the diet regimen. CoolSculpting ® targets those problem areas, leading to a much more sculpted look. Our medical and nursing experts have mastered the technology to conduct a procedure that’s safe and comfortable and provides you with results that you’ll absolutely love.

The CoolSculpting ® procedure delivers precisely controlled cooling to target the fat cells below the skin. Treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), destroyed, and then gradually your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells.

Fat freezing during the CoolSculpting ® procedure

Many of us have stubborn fat even with diet and exercise. CoolSculpting ® technology uses controlled cooling to target and destroy only these fat cells. In the weeks that follow, your body naturally processes the fat and removes dead cells. So treated fat cells are gone for good.

Fat cells after normal weight loss

After dieting and weight loss, fat cells become smaller yet the number of fat cells remains the same. Losing weight does not make fat cells go away.

Losing or gaining weight generally does not increase or decrease the amount of fat cells. Rather, it changes the size of fat cells. When weight is gained, fat cells grow.

Fat cells after the CoolSculpting ® treatment

The CoolSculpting ® fat-freezing treatment can reduce the number of fat cells in numerous treatment areas by approximately 27% after 6 months.

These fat cells are naturally processed and removed, so they will not migrate to another part of your body, so there’s no change to fat cells in untreated areas.

How does CoolSculpting ® work?

CoolSculpting ® technology precisely targets fat cells beneath the skin, and cools them to temperatures that cause their natural death. Gradually, the treated fat cells decrease and are naturally metabolized and eliminated by your body, leaving a much more toned you. With CoolSculpting ®, once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

How fat cells are frozen
