What Is Coolsculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is the world renowned non-surgical way to remove stubborn fat.
Many of us think that weight loss and fat reduction are one and the same thing but they’re not and here’s why…
By the time we reach adolescence our body has laid down all the fat cells it will have as an adult. From that point on as we lose weight our fat cells shrink but the number of cells remains exactly the same. When we gain weight those annoying fat cells simply get larger again; they swell. The beauty of CoolSculpting ® is that it works to reduce the actual number of fat cells in specific areas of our body and once those cells have disappeared they’re no longer there to get any bigger.
CoolSculpting ® uses patented, FDA-cleared technology and is an innovative aesthetic treatment
CoolSculpting ® has been developed solely to shift stubborn areas of fat
More than 8 million CoolSculpting® treatment cycles have been performed worldwide
CoolSculpting ® has an enviable industry leading 97% client satisfaction record
What body areas can be treated with CoolSculpting®?
We’ve found CoolSculpting® to be particularly useful for those hard to lose pockets of stubborn fat (we all have them and, sadly, they only get worse with age) which are diet and exercise-resistant – areas which include:
- Love handles
- Post-pregnancy paunch
- Muffin top
- Upper arms
- Inner thighs
- Under the chin
Remember, CoolSculpting® is a new, patented and FDA-cleared treatment that is completely non-invasive and successfully helps you remove fat – permanently.
How Does Non-Invasive CoolSculpting ® Work?
Cryolipolysis® is the proven science on which CoolSculpting ® is based.
Cryolipolysis® was discovered by renowned Harvard University scientists – dermatologists Dieter Manstein, MD, PhD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD – who observed that some children got dimples when they ate popsicles. The idea that cold can selectively affect and eliminate fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue was the insight behind Cryolipolysis®. Their research team proved that, under carefully controlled laboratory conditions, subcutaneous fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other tissue.
CoolSculpting ® uses non-invasive cooling to induce lipolysis – the breaking down of fat cells – with clients seeing a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat. How? The cooled fat cells undergo apoptosis that kills the cells, gradually eliminating them and, in turn, reducing the thickness of the fat layer.
It’s important to note that once the fat cells have been destroyed they do not re-grow. The destroyed fat cells are naturally absorbed and safely removed by the body without injury to the skin or other tissue that results from more invasive procedures such as liposuction.
Precisely controlled cooling is applied through the skin to the fat layer.
The fat cells die by apoptosis in the first two to three days and begin to collapse.
The dead fat cells are cleared through the lymphatic system – a natural removal process that continues for several months.
The natural removal of fat cells over time results in a gradual fat layer reduction.

Is CoolSculpting ® safe?
As a leading non-invasive fat-reduction treatment CoolSculpting® has a well-established safety and efficacy profile. CoolSculpting® systems are controlled cooling devices designed with built-in safety measures. If sensors detect that the skin is getting too cold the system will shut down automatically. Freeze Detect is unique to CoolSculpting®.
Does CoolSculpting® Hurt?
As the name suggests CoolSculpting® can be a little chilly. Controlled cooling is delivered via an applicator to freeze the targeted fat. Though you may feel intense cold initially this feeling usually subsides as the area numbs.  Additionally, because most applicators use a vacuum to draw fatty tissue into the applicator cup, you may also feel some pulling, tugging and/or mild pinching.
After we have selected the area(s) to be treated the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied. A gel pad and applicator are also applied to the targeted area and a vacuum applicators draws the tissue into the applicator cup. Applicators are secured to the treatment area. All applicators deliver controlled cooling to the targeted fat.
What Can I Expect After My CoolSculpting® Treatment?
A single 40 minute treatment can achieve between 25% – 40% fat reduction and results are visible from three weeks onwards with the most dramatic results showing at four months. Don’t forget, once the fat cells are reduced they are gone for good and whilst your scales may not see a difference you will certainly notice a difference! You will feel and look better.
After your CoolSculpting® treatment you are able to resume your normal activities. Tissue may look or feel stiff immediately after the treatment.  This is completely normal and dissipates within a few hours. The treated area will be reddened for approximately an hour after the applicator is removed. The vacuum pressure used in the treatment can cause slight bruising and tenderness to the touch which typically resolves within the first three weeks. You may feel a temporary dulling of sensation or numbness in the treated area.  Again this is absolutely normal and will start to resolve within a few hours, but may take up to eight weeks to disappear entirely.
With over seven million treatments successfully conducted worldwide and an impressive 97% patient satisfaction record, CoolSculpting® uses patented and FDA-cleared technology to permanently remove unwanted fat cells in a safe, natural way making this a safe and effective aesthetic treatment.

The Perfect NON-SURGICAL Choice to Liposuction
During your treatment, our highly trained aestheticians use a specially-designed scientific device to reach the subcutaneous level of fat that lies just under your skin. The applicator cup uses vacuum pressure to draw the tissue between the cooling panels. During the painless treatment, CoolSculpting® delivers precisely controlled conditions that trigger a process to gradually reduce the thickness of the fat layer.
With this non-invasive technology, there are no needles, no incisions, no need for anesthesia and no recovery time. The vast majority of our clients opt to resume normal activities on the same day, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
CoolSculpting FAQs
It’s important to ask lots of questions and fully explore all options available to you. Here are the most popular questions asked.
Why can’t I get rid of this fat?
Many of us think that weight loss and fat reductions are one and the same thing but they’re not. By the time we reach adolescence our body has laid down all the fat cells, it will have as an adult. From that point on as we lose weight, our fat cells shrink but the number of cells remains exactly the same. When we gain weight those annoying fat cells simply get larger again; they swell.
The beauty of CoolSculpting® is that it works to reduce the actual number of fat cells in specific areas of our body and once those cells have disappeared they’re no longer there to get any bigger.
CoolSculpting® is particularly useful for those hard to lose pockets of stubborn fat which are diet and exercise-resistant. Areas including love handles, post-pregnancy paunch, muffin top, upper arms, inner thighs and under the chin respond, we have found, extremely well to CoolSculpting®.
CoolSculpting® is a new, patented and FDA-cleared treatment that is completely non-invasive and successfully helps you remove fat – permanently.
What can I expect from a CoolSculpting® treatment?
The CoolSculpting® treatment developed by Harvard scientists and FDA-cleared is precisely controlled cooling to remove fat by a process called CryolipolysisR.  These fat cells are then naturally absorbed and removed by the body without injury to the skin or other tissue that results from more invasive procedures such as liposuction.
A single 40 minute treatment can achieve between 25 – 40% fat reduction. Results are visible from three weeks onwards with the most dramatic results showing at four months and there is no necessary downtime after your treatment.
How does CoolSculpting® differ to Liposuction?
CoolSculpting® extracts energy to cool fat cells thereby triggering their natural cell death. CoolSculpting® only extracts enough energy to selectively target fat cells. Other cells and tissue all remain unharmed by the treatment. Extensive experience has also shown us that clients tolerate the treatment well without the need for pain medication during the treatment itself. CoolSculpting® is technique dependent and requires no staff time once the client is set up and the treatment is underway.
Liposuction, on the other hand, is a heat-based procedure which works by delivering intense heat through the skin resulting in traumatic and sudden cell death. It is non-specific in terms of energy delivery and, as a result, tissue other than fat cells may be affected. With Liposuction patients also often require pain management especially in complex procedure cases. Liposuction is also technique dependent with a very small margin for error.
In summary, unlike a lot of other treatments CoolSculpting® takes very little time – a treatment session usually takes just 40 minutes – is virtually painless and is, therefore, simple to fit into your daily life. After your CoolSculpting® treatment you can typically get right back to your busy day whereas with procedures such as Liposuction several weeks off work are often required for recovery.
Can Anyone Have CoolSculpting®?
The CoolSculpting® procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting® procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinaemia, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting® procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any aesthetic treatment consult with your chosen aesthetic practitioner first.
