HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING® WORK?
CoolSculpting® uses the advanced Cryolipolysis™ technology to target the fat cells beneath the skin with absolute precision. Fat is very sensitive to cold temperature but the surrounding nerves and cells aren’t. That’s why Coolsculpting® targets only fat cells and leaves everything around them untouched. A rounded applicator is placed on the targeted problematic area of the body and it provides suction of the skin similar to a vacuum. The targeted fat cells are frozen to the temperature that activates their crystallization and eventual shrinking. Overtime these fat cells disappear and get eliminated from the body through natural metabolic processes. The results – when the treated fat cells are completely disposed of, the body gets a more sculpted and toned shape.
WHAT BODY PARTS DOES COOLSCULPTING® TARGET?
What makes CoolSculpting® treatment ideal is that it is really versatile when it comes to body parts it can treat. CoolSculpting® technology precisely targets fat cells beneath the skin, and cools them to temperatures that trigger their natural death. Gradually these targeted fat cells disappear from the body in a natural way.
Since the CoolSculpting® device has applicators in different shapes and sizes, it can each every area of the body that has persistent fat bulges.
Following CoolSculpting® target areas are:
- Stomach and Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Love Handles and Flanks
- Back Bulge and Bra Area
- Under Buttocks (Banana Roll)
- Double Chin
- Male Chest (Pseudogynecomastia)
Double chin – CoolSculpting® device has a specially designed applicator just for this area of the body. It works to bring back the fine contour to the chin area. It freezes the fat cells that cause the so-called double chin, and drooping skin on the neck. The applicator precisely targets these two areas and effectively brings results after one or two treatments.
Love handles (flanks) – this problematic area in patients’ sides of the waist can really be stubborn when trying to get rid of in old-fashioned ways. CoolSculpting® is a perfect solution for patients who do ab exercises and follow a healthy diet but still can’t eliminate love handles.
Arms – another problematic area of the body. Upper arms start to change as a person gets older, and once toned biceps can turn to flabby, loose skin with fat pockets. CoolSculpting® treats the surplus of fat in this body part and since the removal of fat is gradual the skin has enough time to bounce back. It won’t stay hanging loose and when the process is finished, upper arms get a nice toned shape again.
Abdomen – this target area is perhaps the most popular when thinking about undergoing CoolSculpting® treatment. A lot of patients wish to eliminate belly fat and get a flat abdomen. The CoolSculpting® procedure provides excellent results in freezing excess fat in this part of the body and makes patients feel more confident about their new, perfectly toned abdomen.
Thighs – CoolSculpting® can treat these problematic body parts and eliminate saddlebags on the outer thighs or create a thigh gap on the inner thighs. It all depends on patients’ goals. CoolSculpting® applicators are again versatile here and can get to even hard-reachable bulges of fat.
Underneath the buttocks (banana rolls) – CoolSculpting® can effectively treat the bulges of fat on this problematic body area. This treatment makes this area smoother and contoured, making it overall slimmer and more shaped.
Back fat – Coolsculpting® effectively treats fat on different areas of the back. It can treat the lower back that extends from the love handles, the middle area of back fat on the sides, and “bra bulge” fat that appears under the bra line.
Male Chest (Pseudogynecomastia) – Sometimes men have problems with their chest area and can’t eliminate the accumulated fat sagging from their chest no matter how much they try.
Male Chest CoolSculpting® is used to kill fat cells beneath the skin It gets men’s chest to look more sculpted. It is FDA approved, safe and can help men’s chest to get trimmed and contoured.

FINAL WORDS
COOLSCULPTING® VS. DIET AND EXERCISE
Your appearance and your health greatly depend on regular exercise and healthy well-balanced diet. CoolSculpting® isn’t meant to replace diet and exercise – it should help people to reach their goals. When you exercise and have healthy nutritious habits, you can reduce the accumulation of fat cells, but you can’t get rid for them permanently. CoolSculpting® freezes fat cells and helps to eliminate them forever, which encourages you to continue with your healthy lifestyle.
