Understanding the CoolSculpting Process

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to target and freeze stubborn fat cells. These cells are naturally eliminated by your body over time, leaving treated areas looking more contoured. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in South Edmonton, your experience is guided by trained professionals who personalize your treatment plan for safe, effective results. 

Step-by-Step – What Happens During a CoolSculpting Session

1. Pre-Treatment Consultation 
Before any procedure, you’ll meet with one of our specialists to determine if CoolSculpting is right for your goals and body type. They’ll map out target areas and set expectations for results and timelines.

2. Marking and Preparation 
At the start of the session, the treatment area is cleaned, and a gel pad is applied to protect the skin. The applicator is then positioned to begin cooling.

3. Fat Freezing Begins 
Once the device is activated, you’ll feel strong suction and intense cold for the first few minutes. Most people adjust quickly and relax, often reading, scrolling on their phone, or even napping.

4. Treatment Duration 
Each treatment area typically takes 30–60 minutes. Multiple areas can be done in one visit depending on your customized plan.

5. Massage After Treatment 
Once the applicator is removed, your provider will massage the area to help break up frozen fat cells. This step can feel slightly uncomfortable but is important for improving outcomes.

6. No Downtime Required 
You’ll be able to return to work or daily activities right away after a CoolSculpting treatment. Mild redness, tingling, or swelling is common but usually fades within a few days
