How it Works

CoolSculpting is the safe, effective and non-invasive way to reduce fat in common trouble areas that tend to be diet- and exercise-resistant. Researchers at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, developed the patented technology behind CoolSculpting that cools fat and destroys it, resulting in an undeniable reduction of fat in the treated areas.

• It is a medical fact that fat is uniquely susceptible to extreme cold. CoolSculpting turns the tables on fat by harnessing the power of cold to naturally trigger fat reduction. Targeted fat cells crystallize, break down and then are eliminated through the body's natural processes.

• CoolSculpting takes about one hour per treated area and most patients are able to rest, check email or read while undergoing treatment. There is minimal discomfort with the treatment, no downtime and most patients can resume regular activity immediately after treatment.

• CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared. Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after two months.

• CoolSculpting is a proprietary, patented technology and is the only method of non-invasive fat reduction that uses a cooling method backed by Harvard research and clinically proven to be effective. CoolSculpting is not a laser-assisted or ultrasound fat reduction technology.

• CoolSculpting eliminates fat in target areas without special diet supplements or exercise programs, and results are long lasting and sustainable with a healthy lifestyle.

• CoolSculpting is a premium procedure, only offered through top doctors across the country. Go to CoolSculpting.com to locate a treatment center and join the conversation on Facebook with patients and others considering treatment.
