What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment that eliminates areas of fat that persist despite your best efforts to slim down. This innovative treatment works by freezing fat cells. The frozen cells break down naturally, and your body removes them as waste. That means the treated fat is permanently eliminated.
The cold temperature produced by the CoolSculpting device affects only your fat cells. Fat cells are highly sensitive to the cold, more so than your skin and its supporting structures. CoolSculpting lowers the temperature just enough to freeze the fat without harming other tissues.

What body areas does
CoolSculpting treat?
CoolSculpting works well to reduce small fat pockets and eliminate those few stubborn pounds. But it doesn’t help you lose a significant amount of weight. For this reason, the best candidates for CoolSculpting are at or near their healthy body weight. Each area is treated with a specific applicator cup designed to suction that bulge of fat. During your consultation, we’ll identify all the areas you’d like to target and let you know if CoolSculpting can address them. (For example, if you also have loose skin or stretch marks in an area, we might combine CoolSculpting with a skin tightening treatment for best results.
How Does
CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared body contouring treatment that eliminates fat by freezing the fat cells. The science behind it is cryolipolysis – fat cells are highly sensitive to cold, more so than other tissues. During a CoolSculpting session, the device cools targeted fat deposits to a precise temperature that causes the fat cells to crystallize (freeze) without harming your skin, nerves, or muscle. Over the weeks following treatment, your body’s lymphatic system naturally processes and flushes out these damaged fat cells. Once gone, those fat cells do not return. Each CoolSculpting treatment can reduce the fat layer in the treated area by up to 20–25%, helping to noticeably slim and contour that spot. Importantly, CoolSculpting is designed for stubborn fat pockets – it is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a way to sculpt specific areas that resist diet and exercise.

How long to see CoolSculpting results?
Your fat cells gradually break down, and then it takes some time for your body to clear away the debris. You should notice the difference in three weeks, with dramatic results visible two months after your treatment.
Your body keeps removing the treated fat cells for up to six months. As a result, you can continue to see improvement in your body shape during that time.
You might need just one treatment to achieve your desired results, depending on the amount of fat you want to eliminate. However, some people need several CoolSculpting sessions to reach their goals.
If you’re tired of trying to lose bulging pockets of fat, call Adult and Pediatric Dermatology or book an appointment online today.

What are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?
What are the
Benefits of CoolSculpting?
Patients choose CoolSculpting because it offers significant advantages for fat reduction:
- Non-Invasive: No surgery, needles, or scars. The procedure is entirely external – no need for anesthesia or recovery in a clinic.
- No Downtime: You can resume normal activities immediately after a session. Many people even schedule it during a lunch break and return to work right after, since there’s no wound or major pain to manage.
- Safe & FDA-Cleared: CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and has been proven safe in clinical studies. It precisely targets fat layers while leaving surrounding skin and tissues unharmed.
- Long-Lasting Results: The fat cells that are frozen and eliminated are gone for good. As long as you maintain your weight, the results can last many years. (We’ll discuss permanence in detail below.)
- Effective Spot Reduction: It’s ideal for treating those “trouble spots” – areas like a tummy pooch or double chin – that don’t respond to workouts. CoolSculpting creates noticeable contour improvements without the cost or risk of liposuction.

Frequently Asked Questions
CoolSculpting is a safe fat-reduction treatment. But many of us are confused about whether CoolSculpting hurts or not.
During the CoolSculpting session, the uncomfortable feeling you may have is because of the process through which you are going. Our skilled cosmetic nurse will apply gel to the targeted area. It will reduce the uneasy feeling. A controlled cooling applicator is used and it freezes the stubborn fat of the abdomen, chin, and thighs.
You may experience discomfort, not pain.
Because of the treatment process, you may feel discomfort during or after the CoolSculpting session. CoolSculpting freezes the targeted area of the body which may decrease the sensation of that body part for a while. After availing of the treatment some patients may feel slight pain or itching, discoloration, or lump on the treatment area.
In the CoolSculpting treatment, the cryolipolysis process is applied. This will destroy stubborn fat cells permanently. These destroyed fat cells will not return to the body again. Thus, the result from CoolSculpting will last long. A study found that the result of CoolSculpting treatment will last from 6 to 9 years.
You can maintain CoolSculpting results that last longer.
CoolSculpting will destroy your unwanted fat cells, but that doesn’t mean it will prevent new fat cells from growing again. A healthy lifestyle is required to keep this result last longer. You can follow some tips to get maximum benefits.
- Avoid weight gain: When your body gains weight, it accumulates fat cells also. So, avoiding weight fluctuations can keep the CoolSculpting result last longer.
- Workout regularly: Regular workouts can prevent the accumulation of stubborn fat cells.
- Eat healthy foods: Eat healthy foods and avoid those foods which assist in increasing fat growth.
If you are looking for CoolSculpting near you in Queens NY, Adult and Pediatric Dermatology is a top option. Taking CoolSculpting treatment near you offers several advantages and reasons why it can be a practical and beneficial choice.
Your provider places a gel pad on the targeted area and then puts the CoolSculpting applicator over the pad. When the applicator is in place, they turn on the device, and your treatment begins.
At first, you might feel a sucking sensation followed by mild pulling and intense cold. As the temperature drops, you can feel stinging, tingling, or aching. These sensations quickly go away as the cold temperature numbs the tissues.
You need to relax for about 35 minutes while the device freezes the fat cells. After your provider removes the applicator, they massage the treated areas. As soon as they finish, you can go back to your usual daily activities.
After a CoolSculpting treatment, you might notice some temporary side effects. Many people experience slight swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising.
CoolSculpting is best suited for healthy adults who are close to their ideal body weight but have isolated fat bulges or “pinchable” fat. Ideal candidates are looking to sculpt and tone specific areas (for example, flattening a lower belly pooch or slimming the thighs) rather than lose a large amount of weight. You might be a great candidate if:
- You have stubborn fat in one or a few areas (like the abdomen, flanks, chin, etc.) that haven't budged with diet and exercise.
- You are at or near a healthy weight for your height (BMI is not very high), but want more definition in your body contours.
- Your skin has good elasticity (CoolSculpting doesn’t tighten skin, so those with a lot of loose skin may need other treatments).
- You prefer a non-surgical approach and want to avoid anesthesia or liposuction.
On the other hand, CoolSculpting is not a solution for obesity or a substitute for comprehensive weight loss. It won’t remove visceral fat (deep abdominal fat beneath the muscles), and it won’t significantly lower your weight. Our dermatologists will evaluate your specific concerns to determine if CoolSculpting is the right option or if another treatment (like liposuction or skin tightening) might better meet your goals. We’ll provide honest guidance – even if that means advising a different approach – to ensure you get safe and satisfying results.
