CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that eliminates stubborn areas of fat with no downtime. Plus, it only takes one to two treatments to see results. If you’re interested in CoolSculpting, keep reading to find out if you could benefit from this treatment.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting utilizes a specialized applicator with a vacuum that suctions targeted areas of fat and applies a precise cool blast to target fat cells. This exact temperature is ideal for freezing fat cells while leaving other cells unharmed. Once the cells have frozen, they will die, and the body will dispose of them naturally through the metabolic system. As it takes time for the body to eliminate these cells, results take a few weeks to be fully visible.
Does It Hurt?
The CoolSculpting process may leave you wondering if this treatment is painful. Rest assured, at Belle Ame Med Spa, we take the time to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible during treatment. While the cool temperatures may cause you to feel some numbness in the targeted areas, the treatment is not painful.
In addition, side effects after treatment are minimal, with some patients reporting minor itching and swelling. However, this should subside within the next 24 hours.
Since little to no downtime and recovery are needed, CoolSculpting is the ideal treatment for patients who can’t take time away from their busy schedules.

- Those who are looking for treatment with minimal downtime.
