What Makes CoolSculpting Scientifically Effective?

CoolSculpting isn’t just a cosmetic trend — it’s built on real science. The process of cryolipolysis (cryo = cold, lipo = fat, lysis = breakdown) was discovered when researchers noticed that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other body tissues.

By cooling fat cells to a specific temperature, CoolSculpting causes them to crystallize and die without harming skin, muscles, or nerves. Over the following weeks, your body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Edmonton, we use Health Canada-approved CoolSculpting technology to deliver safe and consistent results backed by clinical studies and medical expertise. 

Breaking Down the Technology and Process

Cryolipolysis: Targeting Fat at the Cellular Level

Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting machines apply controlled cooling to specific areas, safely freezing fat without invasive surgery or heat-based damage.

The frozen fat cells then enter a natural process called apoptosis — programmed cell death — after which they are broken down and expelled by the body over time.

CoolSculpting Devices and Precision Technology

Rejuvenation Dermatology uses the latest CoolSculpting applicators, which are:

  • Anatomically designed to fit areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and chin
  • Equipped with sensors that monitor skin temperature to avoid damage
  • Built for even, consistent cooling to ensure uniform results

This medical-grade equipment makes the procedure safe, repeatable, and effective — with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Why Fat Loss from CoolSculpting Is Permanent

Once CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells, they don’t regenerate. Adults have a fixed number of fat cells, and while they can grow or shrink, destroyed fat cells do not come back. This makes CoolSculpting a long-term solution for body contouring — as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
