Are there any risks?
CoolSculpting is approved as a safe, non-invasive procedure for use on the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Side effects usually include mild discomfort, numbness, swelling, redness, or mild bruising. Rarely, a complication called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) can occur, causing the area to bulge and become firmer.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
The cost of CoolSculpting depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of areas you’re having treated. On average, the cost is between $2,000 and $4,000 per session.
How many CoolSculpting sessions will I need?
Most patients need 2-3 treatments to achieve ideal results. However, the recommended number of treatments you will need for your specific aesthetic goals is determined during your consultation.
Are the results of CoolSculpting permanent?
The results of CoolSculpting can be long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and eliminated from the body. However, maintaining results depends on a stable diet and exercise routine, as remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.
What happens if I gain weight after CoolSculpting?
If you gain weight after CoolSculpting, the remaining fat cells in your body, including those in the treated area, can expand, potentially diminishing the results. While the fat cells that were destroyed during the procedure won’t return, maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving the contour and long-term effects of the treatment.
Does CoolSculpting treat cellulite?
CoolSculpting is not designed to treat cellulite, as it targets fat cells beneath the skin rather than addressing the fibrous bands that cause the dimpled appearance of cellulite. While it can reduce fat in areas with cellulite, it won’t directly improve the texture or appearance of the skin.
