We’ve anticipated questions you might have about CoolSculpting:

  • What will my results be?
    Typically, each CoolSculpting treatment results in a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area. After the initial treatment is complete, you can attain further reductions with additional treatments. Some patients though, find that one treatment fully addresses their goals. You and your doctor will discuss and design a plan that suits you best.
  • Can it work on both men and women?
    Certainly fat doesn’t discriminate between men and women and neither does CoolSculpting. Men with love handles and women with muffin tops are the perfect candidates for this procedure.
  • What happens during the treatment?
    You and your doctor first select the area(s) to be treated. Your doctor will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.
  • What does it feel like?
    As the cooling goes to work within the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment.
  • Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?
    Yes you can. That is what’s so cool about CoolSculpting. The procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.
  • When will I see results?
    You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.
  • Do I need to take special supplements of follow a strict diet and exercise program?
    No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after the CoolSculpting treatment, too. Like they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew again by taking even better care of themselves.
  • Are the results permanent?
    When you have your CoolSculpting treatment, the affected fat cells will be eliminated. As long as you maintain your weight with your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable. And you have your body back.
  • Is CoolSculpting performed under the supervision of a doctor?
    The expert medical staff at Dermatology Associates of Rochester will closely monitor and manage this procedure. They have received extensive training on the CoolSculpting procedure. In fact, Dermatology Associates of Rochester is one of the first medical offices in Rochester to offer this amazing procedure.
