Most people are a little dissatisfied with their bodies (An understatement, right??). As time goes on, our skin gets looser and our stomachs are not quite as flat as they used to be. It’s normal to age, but there’s nothing wrong with embracing a little self-improvement! Fortunately, new techniques are continually being developed that can improve your appearance with little or no downtime. If you don’t want to undergo invasive procedures such as liposuction, you’re in luck! CoolSculpting is an easy, non-invasive, comfortable and safe way to get the results you want—permanently.
We know you have a ton of questions about CoolSculpting, so we’ve answered the most common questions we get asked by potential patients. Read on to take the first step in deciding if CoolSculpting is the right treatment for you.
What is coolsculpting? Is it painful?
CoolSculpting is a comfortable treatment that uses a vacuum applicator to freeze and eliminate fat cells in problem areas. The most you’ll feel is the vacuum suction as the procedure is performed, with most patients relaxing, reading a magazine or even taking a cat nap during treatment! The freezing action naturally numbs the involved areas, so you feel little or no discomfort.
Freezing the fat cells causes them to die. In a matter of weeks, your body expels these dead cells, leading to a slimmer look. You may begin to see results in as little as three weeks, although many of our patients see additional fat loss for up to four months. The results are permanent.
Is it right for me?
CoolSculpting works best on patients who have pockets of fat that wont go away despite diet and exercise. This kind of fat is what is called “pinchable” fat. With CoolSculpting, you can finally get to wear shorts and bathing suits with confidence. If you’re carrying a lot of extra weight, this procedure isn’t a good fit for you. CoolSculpting isn’t a weight-loss measure, it’s an excellent way to reshape your body. Before you’re cleared to undergo this treatment, you must be physically assessed to make sure you are an appropriate candidate. We always safeguard our patients’ health.

How much does CoolSculpting cost?
Although we can’t give you a cost estimate for the treatment until you come in for a consultation, we can tell you that it’s worth every penny to get rid of that extra fat that’s been bothering you for years. Treatment costs vary because people’s body types vary and the treatments will vary per each patients needs. If you talk to our happy CoolSculpting patients, they’ll tell you how satisfied they are with their investment.
Is it safe?
CoolSculpting is FDA cleared (most recently for arms!) and it’s been performed on over 3.5 million patients worldwide. Here at Clarity, our CoolSculpting team is made up of specialists that receive intensive training and certification by Zeltiq, the company that developed the technique.
How long does recovery take?
With CoolSculpting, you’re usually able to resume your normal routine immediately—unlike other fat removal procedures that can lay you low for days or even weeks. You don’t have to sacrifice work time in order to get the body you want.
What results can I expect?
Although results vary, most patients feel a noticeable fat reduction in their problem areas. You can get a flatter tummy and even see your second chin disappear. Once those particular fat cells are gone, they don’t reappear. CoolSculpting can help you look like a better, younger version of you without pain and a long recovery period.
CoolSculpting offers you a way to get rid of your lumpy places quickly and comfortably—without invasive needles or probes. Freezing your fat makes it go away forever, so you will look better and feel great. Although CoolSculpting can’t perform miracles, it does come pretty close!
