CoolSculpting

A good candidate for CoolSculpting will have noticeable bulges in certain areas they would like to get rid of. This procedure is not a weight loss solution for those who are obese. Schedule your free consultation to discuss if you are a good candidate and determine your personalized treatment plan.

Your doctor will then position the device on your body and the CoolSculpting machine will draw the bulge up between two cooling panels.

The treatment is completely noninvasive – meaning there are no needles, no anesthetic, no surgical incisions, no pain medications and no downtime. You can even enjoy leisurely pursuits like reading, listening to music, surfing the Internet — even napping — during your procedure! *Treatment time may vary depending on your needs and goals.
