Upper back

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®?

Typically, good CoolSculpting® patients are men and women who:

Want to slim their body contours
Are near their target weight but have pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise
Want to avoid surgery
Have good skin elasticity
Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook

The Procedure

During your CoolSculpting® session, gel pads will be positioned on the targeted areas. Your provider will use an applicator to deliver precise cooling technology, called cryolipolysis, to freeze fat cells beneath the skin without damaging any surrounding tissue. This process causes fat cells to crystallize and die naturally so that they can be metabolized.

You may feel intense cold at first, but this sensation usually subsides within 5-10 minutes as the area becomes numb. Patients often spend the procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

After Your Appointment

The recovery process is minimal, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately following treatment. Some temporary side effects like redness, swelling, or numbness may occur but typically resolve within a few days.

You can start to see changes from CoolSculpting® as early as three weeks after your treatment, but outcomes vary by individual. Results appear gradually as the body flushes away treated fat cells, usually taking approximately three months.

How Much Does CoolSculpting® Cost?

The cost of your CoolSculpting® treatment plan will be calculated based on the number of areas treated, the amount of fat to be reduced, and the number of sessions scheduled. We’ll determine the total price of your treatment during your initial consultation.

FAQs

How many sessions will I need?

Many patients are satisfied after a single CoolSculpting® treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a care strategy to meet your needs. For more significant fat reduction, you might want to consider liposuction surgery with our Albany plastic surgeons.

Will CoolSculpting® help me lose weight?

CoolSculpting® is designed to reduce isolated fat deposits, not for significant weight loss. Most patients lose only a few pounds from this procedure.
