Fat freezing during the CoolSculpting® procedure

CoolSculpting applicator is placed  on the area to be treated.

Controlled cooling then brings the temperature of the fat cells to the precise level at which they are damaged and die.*

After treatment, the body naturally processes and removes the dead fat cells.*

Start to see results at 6 weeks and should see final results around 12 weeks after treatment. Treated fat cells are gone for good.*

Fat elimination after the CoolSculpting® procedure

Fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting® procedure are gradually destroyed and leave the body through the body's natural elimination process.* Fat reduction only occurs in the treatment area and untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOSE WEIGHT?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOSE WEIGHT?

Losing or gaining weight generally does not increase or decrease the number of fat cells. Instead, it changes the size of fat cells. When weight is gained, fat cells get bigger. After dieting and weight loss, fat cells get smaller, but the number of fat cells stays the same. Losing weight does not make fat cells go away.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOUR COOLSCULPTING® TREATMENT?

After a CoolSculpting® treatment, the treated fat cells are destroyed so you will have fewer fat cells in those treated areas.* Untreated areas will not change.* 

If you gain weight after your CoolSculpting® procedure, although there will be fewer fat cells to hold excess fat, the remaining untreated fat cells can still enlarge as they absorb excess fat.
