How does CoolSculpting Work?
Believe it or not, it all started with popsicles! That’s right popsicles!!
Years ago, scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. The scientists—Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD—realized that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells.
The idea that cold can target fat cells—without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue—was the insight behind Cryolipolysis®, the proven science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based. That’s what we mean by freezing your fat away!!
CoolSculpting is
- Safe
- Effective
- Precise
- Controlled
The science is proven. The technology is proven.
After many years of research, you can feel confident that the CoolSculpting procedure is based on sound science. Leading researchers and doctors have published more than 70 scientific and clinical journal papers, medical meeting posters, and technical reports. Click here to See the Studies
It All Starts with Fat that is stubborn and hard to get rid of!
Step 2
CoolSculpting technology uses controlled cooling to target and kill only these fat cells.
Step 3
In the weeks to follow, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates dead cells.
Final Step
CoolSculpting results are long term,* because treated fat cells are gone for good.
Fat is Eliminated after the Cooling process
Fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting procedure gradually die off and leave the body through the body’s natural elimination process. That’s why the results are long-term. The fat is gone for good! Untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution.
*In the U.S., the CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll), and upper arm. In China, the Cryolipolysis system is used for fat layer reduction of the abdomen and flanks. In Taiwan, the CoolSculpting procedure is cleared for the breakdown of fat in the flank (love handle), abdomen, and thigh. Outside the U.S., China and Taiwan, the CoolSculpting procedure for non-invasive fat reduction is available worldwide.
