Reduces localized fat bulges by freezing fat cells through the skin, without surgery or incisions, for modest contour changes in patients near a stable weight.
CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) cools fat under the skin to a temperature that injures fat cells while sparing skin and surrounding tissue. The injured fat cells are gradually cleared by the body over weeks to months. It suits localized, pinchable bulges — abdomen, flanks, thighs, under the chin — in patients near a stable weight, and it is not a weight-loss treatment or a substitute for liposuction, which removes far more fat in one session.
An applicator is placed on the target area and cools the tissue for about thirty-five minutes to an hour per cycle, with the area massaged afterward. No incisions, anesthesia, or downtime are involved, and multiple areas or cycles may be planned in one visit or across visits. The treatment is performed in an office or medical spa setting, and the applicator size and placement determine which bulge is treated and how evenly.
Abdomen and flanks. The most common areas, for localized bulges that persist despite diet and exercise. Thighs. Inner or outer thigh bulges, with applicator placement chosen for the specific bulge. Under the chin. A smaller applicator for submental fullness, where skin laxity must also be considered. Combination planning. CoolSculpting with skin-tightening treatments or, for larger goals, liposuction instead — a frank comparison of expected change matters before committing.

There is no single fixed charge for CoolSculpting, and this guide does not publish prices: the written quote you receive at consultation is the binding figure.
Factors that commonly move the total include the surgeon's experience, the facility type (office procedure suite, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital), the type and length of anesthesia, the complexity of the surgical plan, whether other procedures are combined in the same operation, garments and follow-up visits, and the revision terms. Ask for an itemized written quote that states exactly what is included, and what would cost extra if a revision or an overnight stay became necessary.
Expect redness, swelling, numbness, and tenderness in the treated area for days to weeks, with numbness sometimes lasting longer. There is no downtime in the usual sense, and most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results emerge gradually over two to three months as the body clears the injured fat cells, with a second session sometimes planned for additional reduction. The change is modest — typically a visible but not dramatic reduction of the treated bulge.
Risks include pain, numbness, bruising, and asymmetry. A rare but important risk is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, in which the treated fat grows larger and firmer instead of shrinking, months after treatment; it is uncommon but usually requires surgical correction. Patients should be told about this risk before treatment, and should know that CoolSculpting cannot tighten loose skin — a bulge caused mainly by skin laxity will not improve with fat freezing.
