Your results could be permanent if you maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment. CoolSculpting doesn’t make your fat cells smaller, it freezes and removes them completely. After these fat cells have been flushed away, they won’t come back.

But, keep in mind that the procedure doesn’t stop new fat cells from forming. Meaning if you gain weight after your treatment, it could have a negative impact on your results. So we recommend maintaining your current weight to preserve your sculpted look.

While CoolSculpting is a very safe procedure, like any cosmetic treatment, it comes with some temporary side effects. Some of them include:

• Redness or swelling at the treatment site

• Mild bruising or tenderness

• Numbness or tingling (usually resolves within a few weeks)

• Firmness or cramping in the treated area

A rare but serious side effect is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH)—a condition where treated fat cells grow larger instead of shrinking. While this is extremely unlikely (1 in 20,000), it’s one of the reasons why you should work with an experienced provider.

At Spa26, we prioritize safety and comfort, walking you through every step and monitoring your progress post-treatment to ensure the best results with minimal risk.

Noticeable results don’t happen until 3 weeks after your procedure. The results aren’t instant because it takes time for your body to flush out the destroyed fat cells. Once you hit the 2-3 month mark you would’ve seen dramatic results. Some patients reported seeing continuous improvements as far 6 months after the procedure. If needed, additional sessions can help refine your results further.

This depends on your goals and the area being treated. Most patients only need 1-3 sessions per area to achieve their desired results. Smaller areas like your chin may only need a single session, but more stubborn zones like your inner thighs, lower abdomen, and flanks will need several sessions. During your consultation, we’ll map out a customized treatment plan tailored to your body goals.

Absolutely! It’s an FDA-cleared and clinically proven fat reduction treatment. It works by freezing and permanently removing fat cells from the body non-surgically. A 2018 study found that “fat freezing” was one of the most performed contouring procedures in the United States. While temporary side effects like bruising and numbness my occur, serious complications are rare occurring in less than 1% of patients.

CoolSculpting is designed to target stubborn fat in specific areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment zones include:

• Abdomen
• Flanks (love handles)
• Inner and outer thighs
• Upper arms
• Double chin
• Back fat
• Bra fat
• Banana roll (under the buttocks)

If you don’t think your area of concern can be treated, a consultation can help you determine your options.

CoolSculpting is not a weight loss procedure but a body contouring one. It’s designed to help individuals who are already near their ideal body weight tackle stubborn pockets of fat.

To get a better idea of what this procedure is for, imagine a sculptor smoothing the edges of a statue instead of shaving off large chunks. That said, many clients feel more confident and motivated to maintain a healthier lifestyle after seeing their results.

The fat cells treated during this procedure are permanently destroyed and flushed out of your body. But it’s possible to gain weight in untreated areas or enlarge the remaining fat cells if you gain weight.

This is why maintaining a healthy weight after your treatment plays a big role in preserving your results. Think of the procedure as a jumpstart to your fitness journey instead of a free pass to an all you can eat buffet.

Yes it is, because the treated fat cells won’t grow back. But to maintain the results from the treatment you’d have to adopt healthy lifestyle habits such as balanced eating. Gaining significant weight after the procedure could cause the remaining fat cells to get bigger. This is why it’s important for you to commit to a healthier lifestyle.

The ideal candidate for this procedure is someone who is already close to their dream body weight. Also anyone with noticeable bulges or stubborn pockets of fat in specific areas, plus someone who isn’t pregnant or planning to be soon.

Note that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, instead it is meant to contour the body by tackling localized fat. If you aren’t sure whether this procedure is right for you or not, we’re happy to offer a consultation to discuss your body goals and suggest a plan made just for you.
