- Abdomen

- Double chin
- Upper back
- Lower back
In special cases may be done for

Is it safe to undergo CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting has no down time! It is safe and completely non-invasive which allows immediate return to work, exercise and other normal activities. Although there may be some minor discomfort during the first 10 minutes as the fat is drawn into the applicator and cooled, no pain medication or anesthetics is needed.
Am I a good candidate?
The CoolSculpting fat-reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have unwanted fat in targeted areas. Unlike weight-loss surgery (e.g. gastric bypass), the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight-loss solution for people who are obese. Anyone who wants to get rid of their noticeable bulges in certain areas can go for this non-surgical process (as an alternative to liposuction).
How many sessions will you require?
One session typically consists of 45-60 minutes. Number of sessions varies from person to person.
How much fat does CoolSculpting actually remove?
One session generally removes 20-30% fat from the targeted area.
How long will it take to notice results?
The results will be visible post one session.
What happens to the fat?
Once the frozen fat cells freeze and crystallize, the body metabolizes and eliminates these dead cells naturally without impacting your daily life in any way.
Can the intense coolness damage my skin or cause frostbites?
No. The procedure is designed to deliver precise and controlled cooling to the fat cells below the skin layer and does not damage the skin or cause frostbite.
Can more than one area be treated in one session?
Yes. Usually, you can opt for one to three areas in a single session.
Does CoolSculpting reduces visceral fat?
No. The treatment does not target visceral fat that is wrapped around intra-abdominal organs. A consistent regimen of the right foods and exercise will help you do that.
Will I gain weight after my CoolSculpting treatment?
CoolSculpting is a targeted fat loss and not a general weight loss plan. It is possible to gain weight if you don't maintain a healthy food and exercise regimen.
