How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting, a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, works through a process called cryolipolysis. During the procedure, targeted areas of unwanted fat are exposed to controlled cooling, causing the fat cells to freeze and undergo a natural cell death, known as apoptosis. Over the following weeks, the body’s lymphatic system gradually eliminates these dead fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fat volume.
CoolSculpting’s innovative technology precisely targets fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. This allows for a sculpting effect without the need for surgery or downtime. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, and the gradual nature of fat elimination means that improvements become increasingly visible over time. CoolSculpting offers a safe, effective, and FDA-cleared solution for individuals seeking to contour their bodies and achieve a more sculpted appearance.

Getting CoolSculpting at Strella
Strella Medical Aesthetics ensures that patients feel informed, comfortable, and supported, guiding them on the journey to achieve their desired body contouring goals with CoolSculpting.
Before the Procedure: Before undergoing CoolSculpting treatment, patients can expect a comprehensive consultation with a trained professional at Strella Medical Aesthetics. During this consultation, patients will discuss their individual goals, concerns, and areas they wish to target. The provider will evaluate their suitability for the treatment, ensuring they have realistic expectations and understand the process. Patients should be prepared to provide a complete medical history, including any existing health conditions or medications.
During the Procedure: During the CoolSculpting procedure, patients can relax in a comfortable treatment room. The provider will apply a gel pad and the CoolSculpting applicator to the targeted area. Patients may initially feel a cold sensation followed by a numbing effect as the cooling begins. While the treatment is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild discomfort or a pulling sensation as the applicator applies controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells. The session duration varies depending on the treatment area, and many patients use the time to read, work, or simply unwind.
After the Procedure: After the CoolSculpting session, patients can typically resume their daily activities without any downtime. Some may experience temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, but these side effects usually subside within a few days to weeks. It’s important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by the provider, such as avoiding strenuous activities and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Over the next several weeks, patients will begin to notice gradual improvements as the body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells. Full results may take a few months to become visible. It’s important to attend any follow-up appointments scheduled to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.

WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING®
CoolSculpting® is a cutting edge tool used to contour your body by freezing unwanted fat away without surgery or downtime. In a condensed form CoolSculpting® works by delivering controlled cooling, targeting the fat cells while leaving the skin and surrounding tissue unaffected. Once the fat cells have been frozen and subsequently die, the body eliminates the fat cells. Leaving behind a sculpted and naturally contoured appearance.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
Most likely you are a candidate:
- Do you have stubborn bulges of fat:
CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss procedure, it specifically reduces fat in a certain area. These stubborn fat bulges are typically resistant to diet and exercise. If you can pull the unwanted fat roll away from your body and pinch between your fingers, then you are very likely a CoolSculpting® candidate. - Are you near your ideal body weight:
You will get the best results from CoolSculpting® once you are within 10-15 pounds of your ideal body weight. - Are you interested in a non-invasive treatment for fat reduction:
CoolSculpting® is well suited for men and women who want to get back to their lives as quickly as possible, with no surgery, no downtime.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
CoolSculpting applicators, are designed to reduce fat in several areas of the body. These include:
- Abdomen
- Side (flank, love handles)
- Under the chin
- Upper Arms
- Bra rolls
- Inner and outer thigh
- Under the buttocks (banana roll)
HOW MANY TREATMENT SESSIONS?
A single cycle is effective for some people, others may benefit from multiple sessions on the same area. If more than one area is being treated, then we will discuss whether it is possible to combine them into a single appointment.
CoolSculpting® can be customized to meet your treatment goals, your schedule, and even your budget. During your consultation, we’ll talk about what you want to achieve and design the best procedure for accomplishing your goal.
TREATMENT TIME?
Each treatment area or cycle takes only 35 minutes to complete. You may decide to treat more than one area, if multiple areas are treated in the same appointment, then the treatment time would be extended to accommodate those treatments. During the treatment session, you are able to sit back and relax, read, watch a movie, or even take a nap. CoolSculpting® will be working, freezing unwanted fat cells away while you are relaxing.
WHEN WILL THE RESULTS BE VISIBLE?
Most people will notice a difference in the treated area after 3 weeks. Once frozen the fat cells are destroyed they are eliminated from your body. And this takes time. Most individuals see dramatic results 2 months after treatment. Your body will continue to flush the fat cells up to 4 to 6 months after treatment, although this reduction may be less notable than the slimming effects that take place in that first 2 to 3 months post treatment.
WHAT TYPE OF RESULTS?
20-25 percent of fat cells are reduced in a single treatment, according to ZELTIQ, the manufacturer of CoolSculpting®. Another advantage is that zero fat cells in untreated area are affected-only targeted fat cells are affected, resulting in a very precise procedure.
