What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn fat using controlled cooling technology. During the procedure, fat cells beneath the skin are safely frozen and gradually broken down. Over the following weeks, the body naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system—permanently removing them.

CoolSculpting is designed for body sculpting, not weight loss, and works best for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but want to refine and tone specific areas that resist diet and exercise.

How CoolSculpting Eliminates Stubborn Fat

With the CoolSculpting procedure, stubborn fat is frozen, broken up, and then drained into the lymphatic system, where it leaves the body over the course of a few weeks. These fat cells are permanently removed. CoolSculpting is for body contouring rather than weight loss, and works best for those who maintain a healthy lifestyle.

What is the science behind CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting was developed in 2005 by two doctors working with Harvard Medical School. They realized that fat cells can be removed by being frozen and then destroyed. The process, called cryolipolysis, distributes extreme cold to the area(s) to be treated. This causes the fat cells to become frozen. Once this happens, the cells are broken up by massage and then drain into the body’s lymphatic system, where they are flushed from the body entirely over the following weeks.

Is CoolSculpting safe?

When CoolSculpting is performed by a trained and licensed technician, it is very safe. It has been FDA approved, and the temperatures used stay well above a temperature that could cause any damage. Furthermore, a gel pad is used to protect the skin from the cold during treatment. At Genesis, we provide safe and effective CoolSculpting Nashville clients count on.

What to Expect During Your CoolSculpting Session

  • Completely non-surgical
  • No downtime or recovery
  • No injections
  • No incisions
  • No anesthesia
  • Customized treatment

Your CoolSculpting treatment will involve you relaxing in a reclining chair for 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the areas you are having treated. A cool gel pad will be placed onto your skin, and the CoolSculpting panel applicators will be placed on top of this. These panel applicators deliver a gentle vacuum pressure and intense cold to the treatment area(s). 

Everyone’s tolerance to the extreme cold during treatment is different. For most patients, much of the “discomfort” comes from the fact that it’s a very unfamiliar sensation. The first 15 minutes will feel the strangest, and then after that, most patients become so relaxed that they get sleepy.

After the panel applicators are removed, the treatment area will receive a two-minute massage to break up the frozen fat cells.

Some patients only need one CoolSculpting session, while others require more to achieve their desired results.

What are the side effects of CoolSculpting?

Although there is no downtime or recovery at all with CoolSculpting, some patients do have minimal side effects. These can include soreness (as if finishing an intense workout), tenderness to the touch, swelling, and bruising. These side effects tend to subside within a few days. Some patients experience a cramping sensation for 1 to 7 days. 

Are results immediate?

Patients should be aware that results will not be immediately seen with CoolSculpting. Instead, changes begin to become apparent in about three weeks, with final results at 2 to 4 months. Also, keep in mind that to keep your new body contour, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

  • Have enough pinchable fat in the treatment area for the applicator to target
  • Maintain a generally healthy lifestyle
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Are not planning to undergo liposuction or other surgical fat removal procedures
  • Understand the treatment process and have realistic expectations about your results

CoolSculpting FAQs

How much is each session? How many sessions will I need?

The cost varies depending on the treatment area and your goals. Most people see their best results after one to three sessions per area.

Where does the fat go? Are the results permanent?

After treatment, the frozen fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated by your body. Once gone, those cells are permanently removed.

What does it feel like?

You may feel a cold sensation and light pressure at first, but the area typically becomes numb within a few minutes, allowing you to relax during treatment.

Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?

Yes! There’s no downtime required, so you can go back to work, exercise, or your regular routine right away.

Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?

No special supplements or diets are needed. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you enjoy your results longer.

What happens if I gain weight down the road?

If you gain weight, remaining fat cells can still expand, which may affect your contours. Staying active and eating well can help maintain your results.
