COOLSCULPTING
A Body Countouring Option
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and reduce unwanted fat cells in specific areas of the body. Also known as fat freezing, the technology is designed for body shaping and fat reduction—not weight loss.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring, also called body sculpting, describes treatments designed to reshape or improve the contour of specific areas of the body. CoolSculpting is one type of non-surgical body contouring that specifically targets unwanted subcutaneous fat.
CoolSculpting vs. Weight Loss: What's the Difference?
CoolSculpting is body contouring—not a weight-loss treatment. While both can change the appearance of your body, they work in very different ways.
With weight loss, fat cells throughout the body generally become smaller as you lose weight. However, some areas of unwanted fat may remain even after changes in diet, exercise or overall weight.
CoolSculpting targets specific areas of pinchable, subcutaneous fat. Controlled cooling damages fat cells in the treated area, and the body gradually processes and eliminates those affected cells over time. The goal is to improve the shape and contour of a particular area—not to change the number on the scale.
You also do not have to be at an “ideal weight” or have one particular body type simply to be assessed for CoolSculpting. Candidacy depends on factors such as your anatomy, the type and location of fat, your treatment goals and whether CoolSculpting can realistically produce the change you are looking for.
Think of weight loss as changing overall body size and CoolSculpting as targeting specific areas for body contouring. For some people, those goals may complement one another, but they are not substitutes for each other.
