What Is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells in targeted areas. It’s FDA-approved and designed for people close to their ideal weight but struggling with stubborn fat pockets that won’t respond to diet or exercise. 

The process, known as cryolipolysis, targets fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Once frozen, the dead cells are gradually eliminated by your body’s natural processes over a period of weeks. 

How to Know If CoolSculpting Is Right for You

You may be a good candidate for CoolSculpting if:

  • You’re within 20–30 pounds of your ideal weight
  • You have pinchable fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks, or under the chin
  • You prefer non-invasive procedures over surgery
  • You want minimal downtime and natural-looking results

CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment or a replacement for healthy living. It’s best for spot-contouring specific trouble areas that don’t respond to lifestyle changes. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, our experts evaluate your goals, skin elasticity, and body composition to determine if this approach suits your needs.

Alternative Options: When CoolSculpting Might Not Be Ideal

There are circumstances where CoolSculpting might not be the best choice. These include:

  • Loose or sagging skin: Other treatments like skin tightening or surgery may be more effective.
  • Significant weight loss needed: Medical weight loss or lifestyle programs may be better suited before body contouring.
  • Certain medical conditions: People with cold-related conditions (like cryoglobulinemia) may not be candidates.
