Is CoolSculpting Right for Your Concern?
Find the right CoolSculpting approach for what brought you in.
If you have a persistent double chin under the jaw, what helps?
CoolSculpting Mini is the smaller applicator designed for submental (under-chin) fat. One or two sessions typically deliver the contour change.
If you have love handles or flank fat, what works?
CoolSculpting Elite uses paired flank applicators to treat both sides in a single session. Most patients see results in 2 to 3 months.
If you have a lower belly pooch that resists diet and exercise, what helps?
CoolSculpting abdominal applicators target stubborn lower belly fat. Multiple cycles or sessions may be recommended for the full reduction goal.
If you have bra fat or upper back fat, what option fits?
Smaller applicators treat the bra and upper back fat zones. Our certified technician maps the treatment plan to your specific contour goals.
If you have stubborn inner or outer thigh fat, what helps?
Thigh applicators target inner-thigh and outer-thigh (saddlebag) zones. Treatment counts depend on the area and the level of fat to reduce.
If you have loose or sagging skin with no extra fat, is CoolSculpting right?
CoolSculpting reduces fat, it does not tighten loose skin. See skin tightening options
If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, is CoolSculpting the right starting point?
CoolSculpting is body contouring, not a weight loss program. The best results come once your weight is stable. Schedule a consultation to confirm fit.
Performed by a board-certified dermatologist, not a med-spa tech
Most CoolSculpting regret comes down to two things: the wrong candidate gets treated, and no one medically supervises the result. Here, your candidacy is screened first, and the treatment is performed by certified technicians under the supervision of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel. If your concern is loose skin that will sag rather than pinchable fat that will shrink, we tell you before you spend a dollar, instead of selling you a package that disappoints.
CoolSculpting for Stubborn Fat in Forest Hills, Queens
If a double chin, love handles, or a lower belly pooch will not budge no matter how you eat or train, CoolSculpting can freeze and permanently clear those fat cells. It is non-surgical, with no anesthesia, no incisions, and minimal downtime. Call our Forest Hills office or book online to schedule a consultation.
Fat Reduction vs Weight Loss: What CoolSculpting Actually Does
CoolSculpting is a fat reduction treatment, not a weight loss program. Each cycle removes roughly 20 to 25 percent of the pinchable fat in the treated area, and those cells leave your body naturally over 8 to 12 weeks. It does not treat visceral fat, does not tighten loose skin, and does not replace weight management. It works best when you are close to your goal weight with stubborn pockets that resist diet and exercise.
What Is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses precisely controlled cooling, a process called cryolipolysis, to crystallize and destroy fat cells beneath the skin without harming the surrounding tissue [1]. The treated cells clear naturally through the lymphatic system over the following weeks, and the result lasts as long as you keep your weight stable. At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, treatments are performed by our certified technicians under the supervision of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel, MD, who has overseen CoolSculpting for over 17 years and brings a dermatologist’s read of skin and subcutaneous tissue to every plan.
Unlike the med spas that offer CoolSculpting in Queens, every patient here is screened under dermatologist supervision from the first consultation. We use FDA-cleared CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite applicators. Elite is the second-generation device: it doubles the applicator coverage per cycle and uses an updated cup that contacts more tissue, which shortens treatment time and improves symmetry, treating two areas at once in about 35 minutes [2].

What body areas does CoolSculpting treat?
Each area is treated with a specific applicator cup sized to that bulge of fat. Common zones include the lower abdomen, the flanks and love handles, inner and outer thighs, bra and upper-back fat, the upper arms, and the under-chin. During your consultation we map the areas you want to target and tell you which ones CoolSculpting can address. If an area also has loose skin or stretch marks, we may pair it with a skin tightening treatment for a smoother result.
Your CoolSculpting Consultation
Dr. Michael Paltiel, MD, the practice's board-certified dermatologist, oversees the cosmetic program.
Your consultation runs about 20 to 30 minutes. Our certified technician will:
Pinch-test the areas you want treated to confirm there's enough subcutaneous fat for cryolipolysis to work
Review your medical history, medications, weight stability, and any contraindications
Recommend a specific applicator and cycle plan (lower abdomen typically uses the larger applicator, chin uses the CoolMini)
Quote a total cycle count and price up front, no surprises at checkout
Show realistic before-and-after expectations from past patients
If you'd rather see one of our other providers, the team includes Zina Goldvekht, PA-C, Aleksey Babakhanov, FNP, and Dr. John A. Perrotti, MD (Plastic Surgery). All cosmetic procedures at our Forest Hills office are performed by board-certified or board-eligible specialists.
Treatments That Pair Well with CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting reduces fat. It does not tone muscle, tighten skin, or address loose tissue. Patients getting their best CoolSculpting results often pair it with one or two of these:
EmSculpt to build and tone the muscle underneath the fat layer. CoolSculpting + EmSculpt is the standard non-surgical body-contouring duo.
Skin Tightening for patients with skin laxity in the treated area; cryolipolysis reduces fat but doesn't address skin tone.
Kybella as an alternative for chin fat (injectable enzyme that destroys fat cells); useful when CoolMini isn't a fit.
Cellulite Removal for thigh and buttock dimpling, which CoolSculpting doesn't directly address.
Botox and Dermal Fillers for facial concerns, commonly part of the same patient's overall plan.
Dr. Paltiel will recommend pairings that fit your goals at the consultation.
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.
