HOW LONG IS EACH TREATMENT? HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body through your lymphatic system (just an elegant way of saying they leave through pee, poop, and being used for energy). The good news is, once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good!
The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of treatments needed, and your ultimate goals. Most patients opt to receive treatments in multiple body areas in order to achieve their goals.
Create a customized treatment plan, in person, with your CoolSculpting provider that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget. Many CoolSculpting practices even offer flexible payment plans to help patients achieve their goals.
Have you ever had to ice an area? Well the cooling feels just like that! For about 5-10 minutes it will feel cold and maybe the burning cold feeling but that will subside. We put Netflix in every room though to help distract you!
After the treatment, we massage the area for 2-3 minutes. If patients feel any discomfort it is typically during this part. We best describe it as the feeling when your foot falls asleep, it's uncomfortable and a little cramp-y, but the massage only last 2 minutes! Patients usually return to normal activities following their appointment.

IS THE COOLSCULPTING PROCEDURE SAFE?
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. Good candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Many people want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
