What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is designed to help reduce fat cells in specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Benefits offered by this procedure include:

Non-invasive fat reduction with no surgery or anesthesia
Contouring and shaping of problem areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms
Relatively quick treatment with the option to relax, read, or nap
Gradual results as fat is eliminated over time
Boost in confidence and ability to fit into clothes better

Am I a Candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting typically works best for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have localized areas of fat they want to reduce. It is not a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle. Good candidates often include those who:

Have noticeable bulges that persist despite diet and exercise
Are looking for non-surgical body contouring
May benefit from a fat reduction treatment that does not require surgery

During your consultation, our provider will assess your body and discuss the best areas to target for your goals. For those who are not ideal candidates, we can explore alternative fat reduction options that may be more suitable.

CoolSculpting vs. Liposuction

While both procedures remove fat, they are very different:

CoolSculpting: Non-invasive; no incisions; minimal downtime; targets small areas of stubborn fat. Results should appear gradually over weeks to months.
Liposuction: Surgical procedure; requires anesthesia and recovery; can remove larger volumes of fat in a single session; more immediate results.

For many patients, CoolSculpting is an ideal first step for body contouring without surgery.

What Does the CoolSculpting Procedure Involve?

During treatment, a specialized applicator is placed on the targeted area, delivering controlled cooling to “freeze” fat cells and cause them to break down. The process takes 35–45 minutes per area with new CoolAdvantage technology, or longer with specialized applicators. Dual-sculpting allows two areas to be treated simultaneously. Over time, the body’s natural metabolic processes should filter out the targeted fat cells and gradually lead to renewed contours.
As the CoolSculpting treatment progresses, some patients opt to read, work on their laptop, or even take a nap!

Medications to Avoid Prior to Treatment

Discuss with your primary physician your exact medication list prior to stopping, but it’s typically necessary to avoid blood thinners for 3-5 days prior to treatment (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, omegas, flaxseed oil, fish oil, vitamin D3, and vitamin E).

Is There a Recovery Period After CoolSculpting?

Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Some may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or numbness at the treatment site. Numbness can last a few weeks but typically resolves on its own.

How Long Do CoolSculpting Results Last?*

Fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting do not return. Maintaining a stable weight through diet and exercise can increase the potential for long-lasting results. Visible improvements usually begin within three weeks, with full results evident at 2–3 months.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of CoolSculpting?

During the first few minutes of the treatment, many patients have described pressure and intense cold.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary. They may include:

Redness, swelling, or bruising
Numbness or tingling at the treated area
Temporary tenderness or cramping

Serious complications are rare, especially when treatment is performed by experienced providers.

How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?

At Radiance Medical Spa, CoolAdvantage treatments typically start at $450 per area (minimum). Pricing varies depending on the number of areas treated and whether dual-sculpting is used. Multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal results. A consultation is required to determine a personalized treatment plan and pricing. Our practice accepts a variety of payment methods, including third-party financing options for qualified applicants. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
