What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical procedure that uses cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. The cooling applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin.
Treated fat cells are crystallized and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells from the body.
CoolSculpting® makes your body look more sculpted, and clothes fit better. It also gives you a much-needed confidence boost because you no longer have to worry about those pesky bra bulges, love handles, or belly pooches.
CoolSculpting® Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting® is cleared to eliminate stubborn fat found in your
- Jawline
- Chin
- Upper arms
- Back
- Bra area
- Flank area (love handles)
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Under the buttocks (banana roll).
The FDA also cleared it to improve sagging skin under the jaw and neck that result in a turkey neck and hangdog look. The CoolSculpting® procedure is not a treatment for weight loss
Benefits of CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® technology targets precise fat cells beneath the skin, and cools them to temperatures that trigger their natural death. Over time, the treated fat cells shrink and are naturally metabolized and eliminated by your body, leaving a more sculpted you.
Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good. So, any results have the potential to be permanent!
CoolSculpting® benefits include more than fat loss. The procedure itself is safe, fast, and non-invasive. Fat-freezing technology is effective in many areas of the body and carries little risk.
Overall, CoolSculpting® is a practical nonsurgical alternative to liposuction and a faster solution than lifestyle changes to your diet and exercise routine. Keep reading to learn more about the CoolSculpting® procedure – how to prepare, what it feels like, and suggestions for recovery.
Before, During & After
What to Expect
The first step is your free consultation.
CoolSculpting® is designed to help you achieve your body contouring goals—with no surgery and little to no downtime. Here’s a guide to what to expect on your CoolSculpting® journey.
Stadia Med Spa always begins your treatment plan with a consultation. During your consultation, we will discuss what areas you’d like to treat, your body contouring goals, and treatment details. Our medical professionals will assess if you’re a candidate for treatment and develop your personalized treatment plan.
Personalized treatment plans include the number of CoolSculpting® treatment sessions you’ll need to see your desired result. Each session may include multiple CoolSculpting® treatments. For many patients, two or more treatment sessions are recommended to reach their body contouring goals.
Before Treatment
Before your CoolSculpting® treatment, your Stadia Med Spa provider will weigh you and take photos. The photos are to help you to see your results!
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as Advil or Aspirin in the days leading up to your procedure. These medications may increase your risk of bruising after CoolSculpting® treatment. They also interfere with your body’s fat removal process so you should avoid them for as long as possible after your procedure as well.
You won’t be able to move around much during your procedure. Most patients like to watch Netflix on their laptops, read a book, or take a nap. Wear comfortable clothes and prepare to be at Stadia Med Spa for about an hour.
CoolSculpting® is not intended for weight loss. You should come prepared with an after-treatment plan to maintain the fat loss from your CoolSculpting® treatment. Regular exercise and a healthy diet go a long way toward improving and maintaining your results!
During Treatment
The CoolSculpting® treatment at Stadia Med Spa lasts between 35 and 45 minutes.
The first part of your treatment will be the most uncomfortable as the cooling applicator pulls on the treatment area tissue. Most patients describe it as a pinching sensation that disappears once the applicator sufficiently numbs the area. The remainder of the treatment should be relatively comfortable as the CoolSculpting® technology does its work!
After the applicator is removed, your provider will massage the treatment area to kill off even more fat cells. You can expect the treatment area to ache slightly as it gradually warms back up to body temperature. Finally, your provider may apply a compression binder to support the treatment area as it heals.
After Treatment
CoolSculpting® is a safe and fast treatment to kill stubborn fat cells across the body. Most patients leave their appointment and go straight back to their normal routines.
The procedure is low-risk with minimal side effects. Some people experience minor discomfort including itchiness, redness, bruising, soreness, muscle spasms, cramping, and bloating. If any of these symptoms persist for longer than two weeks or worsen over time, contact Stadia Med Spa for assistance.
Avoid inflammatory medications like Advil and Aspirin for a few weeks after your treatment, if possible. They interfere with your body’s ability to kill and dispose of fat cells and may interfere with your final results.
Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to support your CoolSculpting® results! Results should be visible within three weeks to three months. Be sure to schedule a follow-up assessment to review your results.

CoolSculpting® Comparison
CoolSculpting® vs. Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires individuals to undergo general anesthesia. It works by using large tubes to pull out fat from targeted areas of the body, leaving individuals with immediate results. However, it’s an invasive procedure and can require a week or two of recovery.
CoolSculpting® doesn’t require surgery and therefore has no downtime. It uses cryolipolysis to target, freeze, and kill fat cells in your designated treatment area. In the weeks that follow, these fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body. CoolSculpting® results are long-term, as treated fat cells are gone for good.
Because liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires anesthesia, it has certain health risks. CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical fat loss alternative with no risks or side effects to your overall health. Liposuction is an invasive procedure that can require some serious time of recovery, whereas CoolSculpting® has no downtime and is an absolutely safe and non-invasive procedure. Most of our patients return to work and play immediately.
CoolSculpting® vs. Diet and Exercise
Your health – in addition to your appearance – is largely reliant on a well-balanced diet and regular exercise. CoolSculpting® shouldn’t take the place of either of these, but rather act as an aid that can help you accomplish your goals.
Diet and exercise can help reduce the appearance of fat cells, but they don’t permanently rid your body of them. CoolSculpting® freezes off fat cells for good, enhancing your diet plan and serving as great encouragement for continuing a healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Candidates for CoolSculpting® have unwanted or stubborn areas of fat in the face, arms, back, belly, legs, buttocks, and hips. You may have considered surgical fat loss solutions like liposuction in the past, but didn’t want to undergo such intense surgery.
People who exercise regularly and practice a healthy diet typically maintain the best results after their CoolSculpting® treatment is complete. CoolSculpting® is not a weight loss treatment but a healthy lifestyle will help you maintain the toned results from your procedure.
Some of our patients with a lower pain tolerance have recommended this procedure to their friends and families! Most of our patients feel intense cooling within the first 5-10 minutes, which dissipates later. Our patients usually enjoy their CoolSculpting® sessions by watching TV, reading magazines, or working on their laptops.
CoolSculpting® is FDA-approved to induce fat loss in certain areas of the body. Most patients only experience temporary discomfort in the treatment areas rather than any major side effects. Typical side effects include mild bruising, swelling, aches, pain, itching, and redness.
Overall, CoolSculpting® is considered a safe and effective fat-loss treatment. In rare instances, CoolSculpting® can cause nerve pain, skin discoloration, and increased skin sensitivity. Some people feel dizzy or nauseous after their treatment. Most symptoms disappear within two weeks.
Everyone’s body is different. Some of our patients see results after the first treatment. However, most people will need 3 to 4 sessions to see the results. During the consultation with Stadia Med Spa, we will evaluate your specific body contouring needs and goals to give you an estimate of how many CoolSculpting® treatments you need for your unique body.
The fat cells killed during your sessions are permanently gone! Theoretically, your results could be permanent. However, your CoolSculpting® results only last as long as you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. The procedure kills off fat cells, but that doesn’t mean new ones can’t take their place.
Individual CoolSculpting® sessions typically range. However, many patients need multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. Contact Stadia Med Spa for a free consultation to determine your eligibility and the cost of your CoolSculpting® treatment!
According to clinically proven data and, according to our experience, when patients gain weight, they gain it proportionally all over their bodies. However, areas treated with CoolSculpting® tend to stay toned even after weight gain.
Your body naturally and gradually sheds those frozen cells from treated areas. Those cells actually ‘die’ in your body, whereas with diet, liposuction, and exercise those cells are not permanently removed. That’s why those treated areas still stay toned if we tend to gain weight down the road.
