CoolSculpting^® has been referred to by various names by patients. Whether you refer to it as “Cool Shaping,” “fat freezing,” “Fat Sculpting,” “Cold Fat Removal” “Fat Freeze Therapy,” “Freeze Sculpting,” or “Ice Sculpting Fat,” this freezing fat procedure works the same way. Patients have CoolSculpting^® to freeze fat cells. This treatment works by removing unwanted, stubborn fat on targeted areas.

Not much preparation will be needed before cryo fat freezing. However, it’s important for patients to recognize that this is not a weight loss procedure but rather a treatment designed to reduce a few areas you may be self-conscious about. Ensure that you’re healthy and close to your ideal weight. Avoid anti-inflammatories and blood thinners such as aspirin before the procedure to help reduce any bruising that may occur from cryo fat freezing. Ask how many treatments you’ll need and tell us more about your expectations during your consultation. The number of cryo fat freezing procedures you will need all depends on the amount of excess fat you are treating. We can work with you to create a treatment plan. Get ready for before and after photos to help you visualize the full extent of your results. Take frequent photos after the treatment as well to make it easier to compare and visualize the changes. Each treatment session takes around thirty minutes. Bring something with you to your cryo fat freezing session to keep you entertained such as a book, a tablet computer, or a laptop.
