Results will usually be visible within 1 – 5 months, although some patients have seen results after just 3 weeks. Typically results will peak in the 2nd or 3rd month.
Each session decreases the number of fat cells in the treatment area by about 20%. Each additional treatment will further enhance the results, giving you an additional 20% reduction per session.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment will feel similar to a “pull and tug”. The Coolsculpting machine “pulls” the treatment area to the cooling panels of the applicator to “freeze” the fat efficiently. The discomfort is mild and most patients find it comfortable enough to read or work on their laptop.
Is there any downtime?
The area that is treated will most likely feel a little sore, but not too painful (similar to having done too many sit-ups). You should be able to resume normal activities immediately.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal. You may experience slight bruising which typically heals in a week.

What happens to the frozen fat cells?
Your body naturally and gradually sheds the frozen fat cells away over the course of six months. Unlike dieting and exercising, frozen fat cells actually die and are permanently gone from your body with the CoolSculpting procedure, leaving you with a toned and firm body.
