CoolSculpting Sacramento, Granite Bay, & Coeur d'Alene

*CoolSculpting is the only FDA-approved, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses the power of cooling to target and get rid of fat cells. When CoolSculpting devices are applied to the treatment area, the cooling energy penetrates the skin and breaks down fat cells, while keeping surrounding healthy tissue intact. Over time, the body’s metabolic processes remove these cells, resulting in a fat cell reduction of up to 25%.

What Body Areas Can be Treated?

CoolSculpting is a fast, non-invasive treatment that takes less than an hour per area to treat. Multiple body areas can be targeted in one treatment session. Common treatment areas include the stomach, waistline, thighs, and buttocks. The CoolSculpting Mini device can be used to target smaller treatment areas, including underneath the chin and around the armpit.

CoolSculpting Treatment Details

To start, our CoolSculpting Specialist will apply a gel to the area where CoolSculpting will be performed to protect the skin. Then he will use a rounded handpiece to administer cold temperatures to the unwanted fat. Some people feel overwhelmed by the cold sensation initially, but the body will become numb momentarily. Although patients notice some pinching and tugging at their skin during the suctioning process, most feel comfortable enough that they can read or watch videos on their phones while it is happening.

The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes per treatment area. In subsequent months, the body naturally expels the frozen (dead) fat cells from the body. As they disappear, the body should gradually appear more toned.
