2-3 minutes. Patients can resume their
daily activities, including exercise,
immediately following treatment.
The fat cells in the treated area are
gradually eliminated through your
body’s natural metabolic processes as
waste. The result is a noticeable, naturallooking
reduction of fat. The typical
amount of fat lost through CoolSculpting
after one application is about 25%-30%.
Results with CoolSculpting are visible
in three weeks, with the most dramatic
results after 90 days, which can be
further enhanced by additional sessions.
CoolSculpting is a fat reducing
procedure, not a weight-loss solution.
The ideal candidates for CoolSculpting

are people close to their ideal body weight with areas of fat that
are resistant to diet and exercise. It’s an excellent option for
individuals who are not surgical candidates, or for those who
opt not to have cosmetic surgery procedures. It’s also a viable
option for people with health conditions, such as diabetes and
cardiovascular disease.
Let us reshape your body and develop a customized
CoolSculpting treatment plan that addresses your problem areas,
goals and budget. CoolSculpting results are proven, noticeable,
and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle.

more patients than any other office. Many patients are skeptical
at first, but the proof is in the before and after photos. Visit

can squeeze it, we can freeze it. 9
Iguess you could say the secret’s out.
You don’t have to spend hours at the
gym to destroy those love handles
and get a flat stomach. You don’t
have to opt for a surgical procedure
to lose that double chin. You don’t
have to maintain a strict diet to look
great in your clothes. All you have to
do is spend one hour CoolSculpting®
your problem areas, then watch the
fat disappear gradually over the next
90 days. It’s that simple.
CoolSculpting is an FDA cleared, fat
reduction alternative to liposuction.
A totally non-invasive, in-office
procedure, it uses Cryolipolysis™ to
target, freeze, and eradicate fat cells
for good. Treatment requires no needles, no surgery and no
downtime. With more than 3.5 million procedures performed to
date, it’s the world’s #1 non-surgical body sculpting procedure.
Developed by renowned Harvard University physicians
Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD, CoolSculpting
technology was born from the observation that some children
got dimples in their cheeks after eating popsicles. This idea
that cold can selectively affect fat cells was the insight behind
Cryolipolysis, the proven science on which CoolSculpting is
based. After adolescence, our fat cells never divide. They only
shrink and swell. Once you treat an area with CoolSculpting,
the affected cells are gone for good.
As the procedure’s technology continues to advance, new
applicators are released that contour specific areas of the body.
Currently, CoolSculpting can treat the abdomen, love handles,
back fat, inner and outer thighs, chin, bra fat, and the area under
the buttocks (known as the banana roll).
The one-hour procedure is simple. Applicators use vacuum
suction to draw in the fat, and then the proprietary cooling
plates are activated. After a few minutes, the area goes numb
and becomes virtually unnoticeable for the duration of the
treatment. Patients may work on their laptop, read, listen to
music or even nap during the procedure. Once the time is
up, the applicator is removed and the area is massaged for
