What Is CoolSculpting®?
-
Developed by university and hospital scientists and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, CoolSculpting® is a body contouring treatment that uses targeted cooling to freeze (crystallize) subcutaneous fat — the kind you can grab onto. At lower temperatures, the fat cells die, and then the body expels them naturally over several months. The procedure involves no anesthesia, no needles, and no knives, and so there is no scarring; no damage to surrounding nerves, skin, or muscles; and no lengthy recovery. And best of all, the results are permanent! CoolSculpting® has helped more than seven million people, both women and men. Although it is not a treatment for obesity or weight loss shortcut, CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, a nearly painless way to cut fat and tone your figure.

CoolSculpting® Before & After Photos
Next to having the procedure yourself, the best way to see the results of CoolSculpting® treatments is with before-and-after photos. CoolSculpting® is FDA-approved for multiple regions of the body. Stubborn belly fat is the main issue that patients tackle, while other areas for men and women include the upper arms, back, thighs, flanks, breasts, and chin. Individual results will vary. However, our dermatologists in Dr.Slim will create a treatment plan that gives you the best chance of seeing results.

How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
- The CoolSculpting® device uses suction to draw the tissue between a pair of cooling panels, which lower the temperature of fat cells to just above freezing. Those conditions are harmless on the rest of the body’s tissue, but fat cells crystallize and are destroyed. Over the next few months, the body processes and removes the dead fat cells as waste, while the treated area becomes more firm and toned.
The CoolSculpting® procedure is very personalized, which means prices will vary based on the length and number of sessions required to achieve your objectives. Geography also plays a role in the price. In Dr.Slim CoolSculpting® costs could range between $2,000 and $4,000, on average. At Dr.Slim, we keep our prices in line with current market rates. Patients also receive the benefit of being treated by experienced skin care specialists. Our physicians work with you to create a CoolSculpting® plan that suits your goals and your budget.
The procedure takes as little as 35 minutes per treated area. Some patients elect to address multiple areas — such as the abdomen, love handles, and upper arms — or undergo several sessions on the same day. Depending on your treatment plan, a session could last from one to several hours.
One CoolSculpting® session eliminates about 20 percent to 25 percent of the fat cells in the treated area. Many patients see results after a single treatment, but additional treatments may enhance those outcomes and provide even more physical definition. Depending on your goals and budget, our staff will help determine the right number of sessions for you.
The difference between CoolSculpting® and dieting or exercise is that the latter shrinks the size of the fat cells in your body, while the former eliminates them. Think of fat cells like the food you eat: once your body extracts the nutrients, the excess is removed as waste. The same is true of crystallized fat cells. After the CoolSculpting® device freezes the cells, the body recognizes them as being useless and processes them for elimination. Some cells are gone within two weeks, while the entire process might last between three months and six months. Once the cells are gone, they won’t return, which means your firmer new figure will stay that way as long as you don’t gain weight.
