CoolSculpting FAQ

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved procedure used to help patients sculpt their body and lose fat. CoolSculpting is non-surgical and is incredible modern way to reduce fatty deposits that linger no matter how closely you watch your diet, or how diligently you exercise. Each person experiences fat buildup differently and has different zones that can be targeted with CoolSculpting.

Body Sculpting at its Best: CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a versatile procedure that can resculpt various body areas. It is highly personalized, and your treatment can be designed to target any areas with excess fat that are affecting your feelings of confidence in your body image.

CoolSculpting can be performed in a single treatment or in multiple sessions over time, depending on the results you envision. During each visit, the number of fat cells in the targeted zone will decrease and be naturally shed by your body. Below are some frequently asked questions about CoolSculpting.

FAQ

What does CoolSculpting feel like?

During the treatment, you will feel pressure as the CoolSculpting device rests against your body, and then you will feel intense cold for a few minutes. The sensation dissipates after a short time, and then you can relax during the rest of your session. Many patients will read, play games, watch videos, check email, or even nap during their treatment.

Can I combine CoolSculpting with other procedures offered by ZL MedAesthetics?
