What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that targets and reduces stubborn fat deposits using a cooling process known as cryolipolysis. This FDA-approved procedure is particularly effective for people who have specific areas of fat that don't respond well to diet and exercise.
How does it work to reduce fat?
CoolSculpting works by using controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells beneath the skin. Through a process called cryolipolysis, fat cells are crystallized and destroyed without affecting surrounding tissues. Over the weeks following treatment, your body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance. Your provider will also give you personalized post-care tips to further enhance your results and take them to the next level. Read five reasons to choose CoolSculpting to help reduce unwanted fat here.
What areas of the body can be treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat 9 areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thigh, chin, bra fat, arms, above the knee and underneath the buttocks.
Can it be used on multiple areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms?
Yes, we can treat multiple areas at once! Thanks to having two CoolSculpting devices, we can treat up to 4 areas simultaneously. This cuts your treatment time in half, so you can target areas like the abdomen, flanks, and chin all during the same session for maximum efficiency.
Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
A good candidate for CoolSculpting is someone at or near their ideal weight with stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s a body contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution, and is best for those in good health with realistic expectations. Your provider can help determine if it’s right for you based on your goals.
What are the ideal conditions or body types for this treatment?
The ideal conditions for CoolSculpting are for someone who can maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise to sustain their results. Since it’s a body contouring treatment for localized fat, maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps protect your investment and keep your results long-lasting.
How does the CoolSculpting procedure work?
The CoolSculpting device uses a specialized C-shaped applicator designed to fit the natural contours of the body, gently suctioning fat in the targeted area. The treatment freezes and destroys fat cells without harming the skin or surrounding tissues. Once the fat cells are crystallized and destroyed, they are eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system. Learn more about how CoolSculpting works here!
What is the technology behind it, and what steps are involved?
The CoolSculpting technology, known as cryolipolysis, is based on the principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other types of cells. Steps in a typical CoolSculpting procedure include assessing the treatment area, marking it, applying a gel pad, positioning the device, and delivering the cooling treatment.
How long does a CoolSculpting session take?
A typical session can last between 35 and 60 minutes per treatment area, depending on the size of the area.
Is CoolSculpting painful?
While CoolSculpting isn’t typically painful, patients may experience sensations such as pulling, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, and some numbness in the treatment area. Any discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.
How many CoolSculpting sessions are needed for optimal results?
Most people typically need two sessions per area to achieve the best results, with treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
When will I start seeing results from CoolSculpting?
Final results become visible 1-3 months after the last session, as the body continues to process and eliminate the treated fat cells.
How long do the results of CoolSculpting last?
Results from CoolSculpting are long-lasting, as treated fat cells are permanently removed. However, maintaining results depends on a healthy lifestyle, as remaining fat cells in the body can expand if significant weight is gained. Learn how to maximize your results from CoolSculpting here.
Can CoolSculpting be combined with other body contouring treatments?
Yes, CoolSculpting can be combined with other treatments like laser therapy, ultrasound, or radiofrequency treatments to enhance body contouring results. One of our skin experts can advise you about how to combine treatments for optimal results and to achieve your own personal aesthetic goals during your personalized skin consultation.

What are the potential side effects of CoolSculpting?
Common side effects include temporary redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, numbness, tingling, and mild discomfort in the treated area.
Is there any downtime after CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment, so there’s typically no downtime. Most patients resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
Are there any contraindications for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting isn’t recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, including cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, or diastasis recti. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid CoolSculpting. Always consult with a qualified provider to determine if CoolSculpting is the right option for you.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
The cost varies widely depending on the number of areas being treated and the number of sessions needed, typically ranging between $2,000 and $4,000 for a multi-area treatment plan. ZO Skin Centre Dallas offers financing options or package deals for multiple sessions.
What should I do to prepare for a CoolSculpting session?
Generally, no major preparation is needed. Patients are advised to wear comfortable clothing, avoid anti-inflammatory drugs beforehand to reduce bruising, and stay hydrated.
How do I choose a qualified provider for CoolSculpting?
When choosing a qualified provider for a CoolSculpting, look for a provider with training in body contouring, preferably a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You might also consider the following credentials and experience:
Certification and Licensing – Ensure the provider is a licensed esthetician, dermatologist, or medical professional with specialized training in CoolSculpting treatments.
Experience – Look for practitioners with extensive experience in performing CoolScultping and a strong track record of successful outcomes.
Reputation and Reviews – Check for positive reviews and testimonials from previous clients, and consider recommendations from trusted sources.
Consultation – Schedule a personalized skin consultation to discuss your skin concerns and assess the provider’s expertise, as well as to understand their approach and answer any questions you may have.
A qualified provider should have a good reputation, relevant experience, and a thorough understanding of your individual skincare needs.
