THE COOL WAY TO ELIMINATE FAT
HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING WORK?
The CoolSculpting device targets the fat cells through a process known as cryolipolysis. The treatment area is treated for approximately 30-60 minutes. The device delivers a controlled cooling to the exact temperature that will freeze and kill the targeted fat cells. And because fats and lipids crystallize (freeze) faster than other cells, there is no damage to nerves or tissue surrounding the treatment area. Once the treated fat cells are frozen, they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.
WHAT AREAS CAN COOLSCULPTING TREAT?
Coolsculpting can treat the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, love handles, bra fat, upper arm, banana roll, and under the chin. Coolsculpting is also ideal for men. Men with stubborn fat in areas like the chest or stomach can benefit from treatment.
Who is a candidate?
Most people with pinchable fat that are looking for a non-surgical, permanent result, are great candidates. The procedure is perfect for treating fatty areas that are not responsive to diet and exercise. So if you are looking for just a little help getting rid of those love handles or belly bulge, then CoolSculpting is perfect for you and we would be happy to consult with you.
IS COOLSCULPTING SAFE?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared treatment of fatty areas in the thighs, abdomen and flank. With hundreds of successful CoolSculpting non-surgical fat reduction procedures given all over the world, the cosmetic treatment is proven to be safe and effective. The treatment area may turn red, show some bruising or you may experience numbness. Typically, within a week, these transitory side effects will resolve.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
For six months following treatment your body will be metabolizing fat cells. It takes between 8 and 12 weeks before the results are complete. Each patient’s results will vary.

Frequently Asked Questions About CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to freeze and destroy stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise.
FDA-cleared areas include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (“love handles”)
- Thighs
- Bra and back fat
- Under the buttocks (“banana roll”)
- Upper arms
- Submental area (double chin)
If you can pinch an inch, you can often CoolSculpt it.
A session typically takes 35–60 minutes, depending on the applicator and treatment area.
Changes can appear as early as three weeks, with peak results around two to three months. Eliminated fat cells are gone permanently, but maintaining a stable weight is essential to preserve your contour.
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and numbness are common. Rarely, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) causes the treated area to enlarge. If PAH is a concern, consider alternatives:
- Ultherapy
- SkinTyte Laser
- Medical weight-loss injections
- Liposuction
Best for people near their ideal weight who have localized fat bulges unresponsive to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is a fat-reduction—not weight-loss—procedure.
Needs vary. Some patients achieve goals with one session; many benefit from additional treatments for optimal fat reduction.
A gel pad and applicator are applied to the target area. Sensations of pulling, pinching, intense cold, tingling, or aching fade as the area becomes numb.
Because it is non-surgical, most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Pricing depends on the area treated, number of sessions, and other factors. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Zubowski for a personalized assessment and quote.
