What is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?
What is CoolSculpting? That’s the question people continually ask as news of the revolutionary fat-freezing procedure spreads. CoolSculpting is the top-rated, non-invasive option for body contouring and fat reduction. Using state-of-the-art equipment, CoolSculpting freezes away unwanted bulges and bumps.
Harvard scientists first discovered the basis for CoolSculpting when they learned that fat cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than skin cells are.
When fat cells are exposed to cooling with precise methods, they crystalize and are naturally eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system. This discovery led to the invention of CoolSculpting, a process that safely freezes fat deposits without harming the surrounding tissues.

What is CoolSculpting Used For?
CoolSculpting is used to help healthy women and men eliminate stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is an ideal alternative to liposuction. It’s non-invasive, painless, and safe.
This effective procedure can be used to freeze fat from nearly any area of the body. The treatment most commonly targets:
- The back
- The chest (for men and women)
- Upper arms
- Double chin and neck fat
- Fat above the knees
- Inner and outer thighs
- The armpits
- Abdomen
- The hips and “love handles”
- Buttocks
CoolSculpting requires minimal to no downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately after a CoolSculpting appointment.
What is CoolSculpting Not Meant to Do?
CoolSculpting helps to improve your body’s contours and makes you appear to be thinner and more toned. However, the fat freezing procedure isn’t meant to help with weight loss. It is a body contouring treatment that reduces isolated pockets of fat.
Weight loss or gain is a result of fat cells shrinking or growing inside the body. CoolSculpting actually decreases the number of fat cells, but not their size. The fat cells frozen by CoolSculpting can’t migrate to other parts of the body because they are naturally eliminated after treatment.
