If you’ve been considering CoolSculpting, you might be wondering: Does it work? Will the results last? Here’s what you need to know about CoolSculpting, how it works, and how to make the most of your treatment.

Are CoolSculpting Results Permanent?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy unwanted fat cells. The process works like this:

  1. A specialised applicator delivers freezing temperatures to the fat under your skin (a process called cryolipolysis).
  2. The treated fat cells are damaged and naturally eliminated by the body over the next few months through the lymphatic system.

When do results appear?

  • You may start to notice changes within a few weeks.
  • The final results generally appear around 3 months after your treatment.

Will the fat come back?

Once fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good. However, it’s important to know that CoolSculpting isn’t a weight-loss solution. If you gain weight after the treatment, it won’t affect the treated area the same way, but the fat can still appear in other parts of the body. To maintain the results, it’s important to keep up a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and balanced eating.

CoolSculpting Outcomes 

  • It’s typically a walk-in, walk-out treatment with no downtime.
  • There’s no need for anaesthesia or surgery.
  • Side effects are minimal, with little to no bruising, swelling, or discomfort.
  • It can be performed on a range of areas, including the abdomen, upper arms, and back.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. It’s Not a Weight-Loss Procedure

    CoolSculpting is designed for targeted fat reduction in specific areas. If you’re looking to lose a significant amount of weight, this isn’t the right option—neither is Vaser Liposuction, which is also focused on reducing stubborn fat, not overall weight loss.
  2. You’ll Need to Maintain Your Results

    After CoolSculpting, sticking to a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and mindful eating is essential for long-term success.
  3. You May Need Multiple Treatments

    Most people need 2–3 sessions for the best results. Your doctor will outline a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
  4. It’s Ideal for Smaller Fat Deposits

    CoolSculpting works best if you have pinchable fat in specific areas like the upper arms or sides. If there’s a larger amount of fat, a surgical procedure like Vaser Liposuction may be a more suitable option.

Who is CoolSculpting Best For?

CoolSculpting is ideal if you:

  • Are close to your target weight but struggle with small, excess fat pockets.
  • Want a non-surgical treatment with no downtime.
  • Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle to keep your results.
