Central Scottsdale's Center For Body Contouring

The CoolSculpting procedure is the world’s #1 non-surgical fat-reduction treatment, with more than 6 million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide.It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that reduces fat in treated areas by up to 25%. While there are risks and side effects, they are minimal.Please be sure to talk with your physician about your medical history, and discuss any concerns you have about the procedure.

The pain felt from Coolsculpting is primarily experienced during the procedure itself. According to the official Coolsculpting website, the company acknowledges that it’s possible to feel pain from the numbness caused by the cooling sensations from the freezing applicator used during the procedure. You may also feel slight pinching and pulling sensations as the fat cells are frozen and pulled out. Such effects may last between 5 and 10 minutes of the 60-minute treatment time.

After the procedure, you might experience pain along with itching and swelling. The level of pain felt can also vary between treatment areas, with the abdomen being the most vulnerable.

The fat cells that are eliminated from your body via the CoolSculpting treatment are gone for good. Those fat cells will not return. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t ever gain weight in that area again.

Extreme weight gain can generate new fat cells, and the fat cells that remain in your body are still susceptible to weight gain. That’s why it’s very important that you to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a consistent weight after your CoolSculpting procedure.
