What Is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?

CoolSculpting from Bella MedSpa is a revolutionary way to non-surgically remove fat. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to take advantage of the fact that fat is more sensitive to cold than other structures such as blood vessels, nerves, muscle and skin.


This fact allows a computer controlled cooling unit that monitors temperatures and makes fine adjustments to keep the perfect and safe temperature that injures fat cells without injuring other tissues. Call us for a free initial consultation.

Is Coolsculpting safe?

It is FDA cleared and the Nop. 1 non-invasive fat reduction procedure in the world. It has been used in over 7 million people worldwide and has a 11-year track record in our country and a 13-year track record in Europe with no long-term side effects to date.


It is non-surgical so there are no incisions, no bleeding risks, no infectious risks and no anesthetic risks. So not only is it remarkably safe, but compared to the risks and down times associated with surgical alternatives, Coolsculpting becomes very appealing.

What Does Coolsculpting Feel Like?

As the procedure starts, you will feel some tugging and pressure as the treated area is pulled into the applicator. This is followed by a progressively increasing cold sensation that quickly dissipates as the area becomes numb. At that point, most people become very comfortable and can read, text, do work on their laptop or nap until the procedure is completed.


When the applicator is removed, the area is massaged while it is still cold, which injures the fat cells more now that they contain frost crystals in them making them more fragile with mechanical stimulation. You can even watch television during the treatment.

Where Does the Fat Go?

The fat is removed naturally from the body by a process called apoptosis. This simply means that when any cell in the body is injured, in this case stubborn fat cells, it gives off various chemical signals, called cytokines, that signal the body's inflammatory cells to move to that area and remove the injured cells and process them out of the body through our lymphatic system.


This is the way we remove all other old and injured cells from the body. This is very different than heating or frying the cells until they burst or break open as with the heat of laser.

When Will I See Results?

The results are gradual which seems to be a large part of the reason why the skin has time to adjust and tighten with the fat loss. You will see results as quickly as three weeks, but the majority of results will be seen by 3 to 4 months, with some residual results occurring up to six months out.

What Are the Side Effects?

Redness initially appears immediately after the procedure and lasts from minutes up to a few hours. Mild to moderate localized swelling then can appear with or without some short term bruising.


That said, short term bruising that lasts one to two weeks is more the exception than the rule. Numbness or a dull feeling in the area can occur and also is not common. When it does occur, it usually resolves in the first few weeks. Less commonly, mild to moderate nerve pain can occur and is usually well tolerated and controlled with simple Advil or Aleve.


The good news is these are all short-term and temporary side effects, and do not require time off from work or downtime.

How Long Is Each Session?

Each treated area takes 35 minutes to treat. As at Bella MedSpa, many clinics have multiple machines so they can apply two applicators to two different areas at the same time. This has been coined “Dualsculpting.”  There is also some marking and preparation prior to your procedure as well as some before pictures that will be taken so that you can compare these to your final results.

What Kind of Results Will I See?

A 20 to 30% reduction in the fat layer in the areas treated can be expected. It is generally not for overall obesity where you need greater percentages to get significantly visible results. That said, there are many people who will treat a given area a few times to get closer to a 40% reduction in the fat layer in that area.

How Long do Coolsculpting Results Last?

The results are considered permanent. Just like with surgery, those fat cells are permanently removed from the body. In fact, the number of fat cells we have is generally set by the time we are in our adolescence and does not change in number except for a few exceptions.  Those cells from our adolescence swell when we gain weight and shrink when we lose it. So, you can make the remaining fat cells in that area swell if you gain a lot of weight.  That said, usually with weight gain, you put on the inches in other areas more than you will in the treated areas where there just are not as many fat cells present any longer.

When Can I Return to Work as Normal Activities?

There is no required downtime. You are allowed to return to work and your exercise routine as soon as you like. Some people may feel sore like they already did a bunch of sit ups or crunches, but you are allowed to return to your usual activities whenever you wish.

Who Is the Best Candidate?

It can be used on anyone with pinchable pockets of fat. However, the ideal candidate is someone who is relatively fit, but has some mild to modest size fat pockets. (Those stubborn ones that are hard to get rid of with diet and exercisel)


It's really not intended as a weight loss replacement or for moderate to morbid obesity. That said, there is a lot we can do with this technology so I encourage you to come into Bella MedSpa for a free consultation to see if this may be right for you.
