What will my results be?

On average, each CoolSculpting procedure results in a 20% reduction of fat in the treated area. After the initial treatment is complete, you can attain further reductions with additional procedures. Some patients, though, find that one treatment full addresses their goals. You and Dr. Boyd will discuss and design a plan that suits you best.

What happens during the procedure?

You and Dr. Boyd will first select the area(s) to be treated. Dr. Boyd will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the tissue will be cooled most efficiently.

What does it feel like?

As the cooling goes to work in the first few minutes, you’ll feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. And because you’re seated or lying down during the procedure, the treatment is comfortable. Many people spend this time reading, working on their laptop, or even taking a nap.

Can I return to normal activities after my procedure?

Yes! The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-invasive, so you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, or numbness in the treated area, but this is temporary.

When will I see results?

You may start to see results as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body  is still flushing fat cells, and will continue doing so for up to six months.

Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?

No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits.

Are the results permanent?

When you have your CoolSculpting procedure, the treated fat cells will be eliminated. As long as you maintain your weight with your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain
