Does CoolSculpting Really Work? Understanding the fat freezing treatment
CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, stands out as the safest and most proven non-surgical treatment for fat reduction. It harnesses the power of cold energy to target, freeze, and ultimately eliminate unwanted fat cells in nine FDA-cleared areas of the body. This innovative process relies on the body’s natural mechanisms, such as cell turnover, the lymphatic system, and metabolism, to process and eliminate the treated fat cells over time.
However, CoolSculpting is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The results can vary significantly based on various factors, including individual health history and the expertise of the provider. The strategic placement of the treatment applicators and the customization of the treatment plan play a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of CoolSculpting.
Like all aesthetic treatments, there’s an art to crafting the ideal treatment recommendation. Determining the optimal placement of handpieces to work with your individual anatomy is a crucial aspect of the consultation process. At Element Body Lab, we strategically position handpieces to target areas of volume, ensuring comprehensive coverage while naturally contouring the body’s curves and respecting negative space. Our focus is on sculpting the body and silhouette you desire, understanding that what we leave behind is as important as what we remove.

Is CoolSculpting Effective?
CoolSculpting is a tool. Think of it like scissors to a hairdresser. While all hairdressers use scissors, not all haircuts are good. While CoolSculpting is a known, name-brand treatment that delivers excellent outcomes for clients, it’s a tool. The provider or technician facilitating the treatment needs to understand the artistry of outcomes to get great results.
Choosing a Qualified CoolSculpting Provider

Experience matters when it comes to achieving consistent and desirable outcomes. Read online reviews, like our reviews on Google and pay attention to reviews that specifically call out CoolSculpting. Our reputation reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional results and patient experiences for our clients.
Before-and-After Photos: Review before-and-after photos of previous clients treated by the provider and/or practice to assess the quality of their work and the efficacy of the treatments.

Does Coolsculpting actually work? Understanding CoolSculpting’s Effectiveness
One common misconception about CoolSculpting is the idea that a single session can yield significant results. However, studies have shown that many patients are undertreated during their initial sessions. Surprisingly, over half of clients who have been treated with CoolSculpting were under treated.
According to a study by Allergan, the manufacturer of CoolSculpting, 89.2% of patients reported being “satisfied or very satisfied” with their results after two or more sessions in the same area. This highlights the importance of committing to a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Does Cool Sculpture Work?
Clients sometimes confuse CoolSculpting and SculpSure, two distinct treatments available for non-surgical body contouring. While both are effective, they employ different mechanisms: CoolSculpting freezes and eliminates fat using cold energy, whereas SculpSure employs heat-based energy for the same purpose. However, clients often report experiencing more discomfort with SculpSure due to the absence of natural anesthesia provided by cold. In contrast, CoolSculpting’s cooling effect ensures greater comfort during treatment, resulting in comparable outcomes without compromising on comfort.
Is one session of CoolSculpting worth it?
The effectiveness of CoolSculpting varies depending on individual goals and responses. On average, clients notice a 20-25% reduction of the treated tissue, with some clients responding more aggressively and others more conservatively. Investing in multiple rounds of treatment may be necessary to achieve desired results, as many clients seek more than a 20% reduction in fat.
It’s not to say that one session of CoolSculpting doesn’t work. Rather, it’s if one session of CoolSculpting is worth it based on your own independent goals.
How effective is CoolSculpting on Stomach?
CoolSculpting is highly effective in targeting stubborn fat deposits in various areas of the body. For example, the abdomen and love handles are common treatment areas that typically yield notable results. However, the effectiveness of CoolSculpting may vary depending on individual factors such as skin elasticity, fat distribution, and treatment plan.
CoolSculpting is highly effective in the abdomen area, on the right candidate with the right treatment plan.
Will CoolSculpting get rid of belly fat?
Determining if CoolSculpting is right for you is the hardest part of the journey! While CoolSculpting is highly effective and works for many clients, its not right for everyone. When people are looking to get rid of belly fat with CoolSculpting, our team is usually highly driven to determine if the goal is weight loss, fat reduction, or both.
CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment and can get rid of belly fat for clients who have stubborn pockets that are not responding to diet and exercise. It’s not a weight loss solution or alternative. If the goal is weight loss, we usually recommend clients seek alternative treatments and/or to combine CoolSculpting with medical weight loss, like semiglutide or traditional diet/exercise efforts.
But for clients who are at or near their ideal weight, CoolSculpting can be a secret weapon to get amazing outcomes and a get rid of stubborn belly/stomach fat! Check out this amazing midsection transformation using CoolSculpting!
How effective is CoolSculpting for arms?
The upper arms rank as the third most concerning area, following the abdomen and love handles. Clients seeking treatments for their upper arms should exercise additional caution in choosing a provider, considering the exposed nature of this area.
CoolSculpting is highly effective in targeting fat in the upper arms, but it’s crucial to set realistic expectations. Many clients seeking CoolSculpting for their upper arms also express concerns about skin laxity post-treatment. The best way to find out if the treatment is right for you is to book a consultation to discuss your unique anatomy with our team!
How long do CoolSculpting results last?
The results of CoolSculpting are permanent, as the treated fat cells are eliminated from the body for good. However, it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to preserve your results over time. While CoolSculpting reduces the number of fat cells in the treated area, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. Therefore, maintaining a stable weight through diet and exercise is key to long-term success.
CoolSculpting is a highly effective and safe treatment for non-surgical fat reduction when performed by a qualified provider. By understanding the treatment process, selecting the right provider, and committing to a comprehensive treatment plan, you can achieve the slimmer, more contoured physique you desire.
