What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting uses patented cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate fat cells without surgery. FDA-cleared for multiple body areas, it permanently reduces fat bulges that resist diet and exercise.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
An applicator suctions the treatment area and delivers precise cooling. Fat cells crystallize and die while skin and tissue remain unaffected. The body naturally eliminates dead cells over following weeks.
How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?
Treatment costs vary based on applicator size, cycles needed, areas treated. Consultations help determine exact pricing for your specific needs.
Prices shown are national averages and may vary significantly based on your location, the provider's expertise, and the specific treatment plan developed for your needs. We recommend scheduling consultations with multiple providers to compare pricing and find the best value for your goals.
