What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that targets areas of fat, reducing them through advanced cooling technology called cryoliplysis™ a process that breaks down fat cells without damaging other tissues.

After a single non-invasive procedure, love handles, belly and back fat is effectively targeted and gradually reduces over the next few months. Most people experience fat reduction of 20% or more after a treatment session. CoolSculpting is currently the only non-invasive cooling device in the U.S. that is approved for fat destruction by the FDA.

How does CoolSculpting work?

After discussing which areas you would like to target with the experienced cosmetic dermatologists at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery, the non-invasive applicator is applied to your skin. You will feel minor vacuum pressure and cooling of your skin as the system begins to work.

The patented cooling system is primed to

eliminate the fat cells in the area you want reduced. No other tissues are damaged during the cryolipolysis procedure.  he fat cells are destroyed by the slow cooling process and then are safely processed by the liver.
