CoolSculpting is not for everyone and has limitations. Please read the Pros and Cons of CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting works through cryolipolysis, a process that selectively cools fat cells beneath the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other cell types. Once treated, these fat cells are gradually broken down and eliminated through the body’s natural metabolic processes over time.
CoolSculpting is typically considered for adults who are near a stable weight and want targeted contour improvement rather than overall weight reduction. Ideal candidates often have pinchable fat in specific areas and realistic expectations about gradual, modest changes in body shape.
A consultation helps determine candidacy based on anatomy, treatment goals, and health history.
CoolSculpting is commonly used to address localized fat concerns such as:
These concerns relate to contour and proportion rather than overall body weight.
CoolSculpting is not for everyone and has limitations. Please read the Pros and Cons of CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting treatment begins with a cooling sensation and pressure as the applicator draws tissue into position. Patients may experience cold, tingling, pulling, or mild discomfort during the initial phase. Sensations typically decrease as the area becomes numb. Treatment sessions usually last 35–60 minutes per area.
CoolSculpting involves little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, firmness, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These effects usually resolve on their own over days to weeks.
CoolSculpting results develop gradually. Some patients notice changes within several weeks, with continued improvement over two to three months as the body processes treated fat cells. Once eliminated, those fat cells do not return, though remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.
CoolSculpting does not tighten loose skin and is not designed to treat large volumes of fat. Results are generally more subtle than surgical fat removal, and multiple treatment sessions may be recommended depending on goals. Certain cold-related medical conditions may make CoolSculpting inappropriate.
Understanding these limitations is essential for setting realistic expectations.
CoolSculpting outcomes depend on proper assessment, applicator selection, and treatment planning. Patients benefit from providers who evaluate body composition, symmetry, and realistic contour goals rather than focusing on a single area in isolation.
Experience and protocol adherence matter more than device availability alone.
CoolSculpting treatments at Lazaderm follow physician-directed protocols. A clinical evaluation determines candidacy, treatment areas, and safety considerations. Conservative planning guides all recommendations.
CoolSculpting is best viewed as a contour-refinement tool rather than a transformation or weight-loss solution. The most satisfying outcomes occur when treatment goals align with anatomy and gradual change over time.

The depth of your treatment can be controlled from 0.5mm to 3.5mm in depth and will be adjusted depending on the thickness of your skin and the amount of correction required. In some conditions, our aestheticians will offer add-on treatments to meet your skin goals.
The actual treatment will take about 20-45 minutes depending on your skin area and condition, with an additional 30 minutes for numbing cream to take effect.
