FAQ’s
Is CoolSculpting Right
for Me?
It is important to note that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure, and will not produce the same results as other invasive procedures such as gastric bypass surgery. CoolSculpting helps with contouring your body using controlled cooling, causing fat cells to die and be eliminated by natural processes. If you have been following a healthy diet and make exercise a regular part of your lifestyle, but just can’t seem to see any change in your problem areas, CoolSculpting may be your perfect solution! Note that clients who have cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should not be seeking CoolSculpting on their chin.

What Does it Feel Like? Are
There Side Effects?
CoolSculpting uses freezing technology, so there may be a little pain with the initial surge of controlled cooling that is applied by the applicator. After a while, the area numbs and you cannot feel anything for the rest of the procedure. The sculpting part of the procedure uses a vacuum to draw tissue into the applicator cup, resulting in the feeling of mild pinching, tugging or pulling. After the procedure, clients may feel a little sore, feeling a bit of tingling, numbness, bruising and soreness, as well as they may see redness on the skin for up to 2 weeks. Rest assured, all side effects will completely dissipate.
