CoolSculpting works through a process called cryolipolysis, or fat-freezing, which quite literally freezes and kills fat cells. Unlike surgery or procedures that use laser technology, CoolSculpting acts strictly on fat cells, leaving skin and other tissues unharmed and leaving you with virtually no downtime. This allows us to easily fit your 35-minute CoolSculpting appointment into a lunch break, and you can get right back to your busy day! CoolSculpting can be used for long-term fat reduction in the chin, thighs, abdomen, upper arm, and more.
