How long does a CoolSculpting treatment take?

Most CoolSculpting sessions take 35–60 minutes per treatment area, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Many patients can read, work, or relax during their session, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.

When will I see my CoolSculpting results?

Some patients notice changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment, with the full results appearing around 8–12 weeks. Fat reduction may continue for up to 6 months as your body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells. Results are gradual, natural-looking, and long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle.

Is CoolSculpting safe and what are the side effects?

Yes! CoolSculpting is FDA-approved and safe when performed by a trained professional. Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, including numbness, tingling, swelling, or redness in the treated area. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

How much does CoolSculpting cost?

CoolSculpting costs vary depending on the number of areas treated and session length. At Spa Sydell, we offer personalized consultations to create a treatment plan that fits your goals and budget. Investing in CoolSculpting is investing in long-lasting, natural fat reduction without surgery.

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

Ideal candidates are generally healthy adults with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss solution but an effective way to contour areas like the belly, flanks, thighs, arms, and chin. A consultation at Spa Sydell can determine if CoolSculpting is right for you.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared fat-reduction treatment that uses a patented technique to freeze and rid the body of unwanted fat cells – the fat cells diet and exercise can’t eliminate. Your medical provider can perform your CoolSculpting procedure during your Spa Sydell visit, and you can immediately return to your busy day and enjoy your active lifestyle – without downtime or recovery – as your body eliminates your unwanted fat.

The Science Behind CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting originated from two forward-thinking dermatologists, Dr. Dieter Manstein and Roz Anderson, from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. They noted two cases of fat loss from exposure to cold.

1970, via New England Journal of Medicine – An infant developed Panniculitis, or inflammation in the subcutaneous fat, after having a popsicle rest on the inside of her cheek for five minutes.
1980, via JAMA Dermatology – Female equestrians developed Panniculitis on their outer thighs after riding horses for long periods in cold weather.

Based on these reports, and in combination with their own findings, Drs. Manstein and Anderson developed their own hypothesis called Cryolipolysis, which is a selective cold-induced injury to fat cells that spares the surrounding tissues; including skin, muscles and nerves.

The Benefits of CoolSculpting

A CoolSculpting treatment has many benefits, including:

Permanently eliminating unwanted body fat
Improving your body’s tone and contours
Leaving adjacent muscle and skin tissues unharmed
Complimenting your healthy diet and exercise routines

CoolSculpting Treatment Areas

CoolSculpting can safely and effectively treat:

Submental area
Thighs
Knees
Abdomen and flanks
Bra fat
Back fat
Lower buttocks area (“banana roll”)
Arms, upper arms, under bicep (“bat wings”)

CoolSculpting Post Procedure

The treatment area(s) look completely normal post-procedure.

After 3 days the procedure initiates the apoptotic cascade, and the cells will begin to die. The inflammatory cells then begin to infiltrate the fat.
At 7 days after the procedure, the inflammation increases. It continues to intensify over the next 2 weeks to 30 days.
By 90 days, most injured fat cells have been removed.

Over 100 peer-reviewed journals have shown CoolSculpting body contouring does not damage the epidermis, dermis, nerves, or blood vessels.

CoolSculpting Candidacy

CoolSculpting is a way for individuals to target stubborn pockets of fat. The procedure is not best for all-over fat reduction, but rather for targeting a specific area or areas.

While most healthy individuals can have a CoolSculpting treatment, talk to your medical provider if you have one of the following conditions, which are contraindicated for a CoolSculpting procedure: cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. If you do have one of these rare conditions, your provider can discuss other options.

CoolSculpting has not been studied on children, women who are pregnant or lactating, those with hernias in or around the area to be treated, or those with diabetic neuropathy.

CoolSculpting FAQs

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate stubborn fat. By freezing fat cells in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms, your body naturally processes and removes them over time. It’s a safe, FDA-approved way to contour your body without surgery or downtime.
