Recent studies show fat cells are vulnerable to injury from cold. Zeltiq works by creating a cold current and selectively injuring fat cells. Coolsculpting is a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction.

Not every fat bulge responds to the gym. For many people, trouble spots around the midsection, flanks, or chin stay put no matter how disciplined their routine is. CoolSculpting® was designed for exactly this problem: it uses precisely controlled cooling to target the fat layer under the skin, crystallizing fat cells while leaving skin, muscle, and nerves unharmed.
Once treated, those fat cells are processed and flushed out by the body’s own metabolism — the same way it handles dietary fat. The change isn’t overnight; the treated area slims down gradually, with most patients seeing their results take shape over two to four months as the fat layer thins by about 20–25%.
What a Session Is Like
Treatment is entirely external. There’s no cutting, no injections, and no anesthesia, so there’s also nothing to recover from — patients typically head straight back to work or errands afterward. Sessions generally last one to two hours, and most people pass the time reading or catching up on email. Mild tenderness, bruising, or numbness afterward is common and fades on its own.
Is It Right for You?
The best candidates aren’t looking to lose significant weight — they’re within about 20–25 pounds of their target and want to refine specific areas that stubbornly hold fat. If that sounds like you, a consultation is the easiest way to find out which treatment plan fits.
Beyond the Basics
For patients who want to maximize their outcome, CoolSculpting Plus adds Z-Wave Pro therapy to the standard protocol — an approach shown to enhance results while reducing post-treatment swelling and soreness. And for smaller areas like a double chin, the FDA-cleared CoolMini applicator brings the same fat-freezing technology to the neck and jawline, often with visible improvement after just one or two visits.
