MJ Paciorek PLASTIC SURGERY What is a CoolSculpting?
Frustrated by stubborn fat that just won’t budge—no matter how well you eat or how active you are? If certain areas of your body feel resistant to all your hard work, you’re not alone. Many people have pockets of fat that linger despite healthy habits. CoolSculpting® offers a non-surgical, FDA-cleared solution to help you reduce unwanted fat and feel more confident in your body.
CoolSculpting® uses controlled cooling to gently freeze and eliminate fat cells—without surgery, needles, or downtime. It’s ideal for people who are close to their goal weight but want to target specific areas that haven’t responded to diet and exercise.
Common Treatment Areas:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (“love handles”)
- Thighs
- Back fat
- Under the chin
- Upper arms
How CoolSculpting Works
Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other tissues. The CoolSculpting® device delivers targeted cooling to freeze fat cells beneath the skin, without harming surrounding tissue. Once treated, the fat cells die and are gradually cleared away by your body’s natural processes, leaving you with a more sculpted, refined look over time.
Ideal Candidates
CoolSculpting® is best suited for individuals who:
- Are near their ideal body weight but have localized fat deposits
- Prefer a non-surgical approach
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle but need help with problem areas
- Are not looking for a weight loss solution, but rather body contouring
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
What You Can Expect
- Comfortable Experience: No anesthesia, no incisions, and no downtime. Most patients read, nap, or relax during their session.
- Quick Recovery: You can return to normal activities right away—even work or exercise.
- Gradual, Natural Results: Improvements appear over the following weeks as your body eliminates the fat cells.
If you’ve been looking for a gentle, effective way to refine your shape without surgery, CoolSculpting® may be a great option.
