How Coolsculpting works

The controlled cooling technology of Coolsculpting will target and kill the fat cells in the selected area without harming the skin or surrounding tissue. Over the course of the following weeks after your treatment, your body processes the fat and eliminates it from the body naturally. While dieting and exercise makes the fat cells smaller, Coolsculpting gets rid of them completely, allowing you to enjoy long-lasting results!
