CoolSculpting is a gentle, non-invasive fat reduction procedure that works by freezing unwanted fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body over time. FDA-cleared as a safe and effective alternative way to get rid of stubborn fat, CoolSculpting only targets fat cells, leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.

Unlike other fat reduction procedures, CoolSculpting requires no surgery, no anesthesia and has little to no downtime. Patients are typically able to resume normal activities immediately and often return to work the same day as their CoolSculpting treatment!
