What Questions Should I Ask During a CoolSculpting Consultation?

We provide pre-consultation instructions, including a list of questions to ask about CoolSculpting with your provider. Some key questions to consider include:

  • Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
  • How many sessions will I need to reach my goals?
  • What kind of results can I realistically expect?
  • What does the treatment feel like?
  • What financing options are available?
  • How much will my treatment cost?
  • Are results guaranteed?

We address all of these during your consultation to make sure you have the information you need.

Do You Get Treated During the Consultation?

Typically, no. CoolSculpting treatments require scheduling to ensure proper preparation and setup. A full CoolSculpting treatment plan usually takes 24 hours to complete and our team is often booked out about 1-2 weeks in advance. However, if you want to have your treatment on the same day, you can call ahead to request this option. A nonrefundable $200 booking fee is required to reserve same-day treatment availability.

How Is the Treatment Plan Determined?

Your treatment plan is entirely customized to your goals. During the consultation, we:

  • Discuss your ideal outcome and the areas you want to treat.
  • Explain how CoolSculpting works and what areas respond best.
  • Use before-and-after photos to help visualize potential results.
  • Determine how many sessions are needed for your desired results.
  • Provide transparent pricing and monthly payment options.

Our team at Element Body Lab is highly trained, allowing us to create accurate treatment plans—even in a virtual consultation. For in-person consultations, we also do full treatment markings to map out the areas precisely.

Do I Need More Than One Treatment?

Many clients ask whether they’ll need more than one CoolSculpting session. The answer depends on your goals, body type, and how your body responds to treatment. Some areas may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal fat reduction, while others see great results after just one session.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your body and goals to provide an accurate estimate of how many treatments you might need.

Is a CoolSculpting Consultation Free?

We offer free virtual consultations and in-person consultations for $25. The in-person consultation fee is credited toward your treatment cost if you move forward.

How to Prepare for a CoolSculpting Consultation

  • Virtual Consultations: Be in a quiet, distraction-free place for your video call. While we don’t require photos beforehand, good lighting and a clear view of your treatment areas help us provide the best recommendations.
  • In-Person Consultations: Wear clothing that allows easy access to the areas you want to treat. For example:
    • Inner thighs: Bikini or full-coverage underwear or shorts that easily show the treatment area.
    • Upper arms: Tank top.
    • Abdomen: Wear pants and a top that can easily be pulled up or moved out of view to show the area without causing any bulging or obscuring your current silhouette.

Addressing the #1 Concern: Cost

One of the most common concerns clients have is whether CoolSculpting is worth the investment. CoolSculpting is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment that offers permanent fat reduction, but we understand the financial commitment.

Remember, CoolSculpting is an investment in yourself and your confidence. While shopping around for a provider is smart, it’s essential to prioritize skill and proven outcomes over price alone.

Not all clients will be best served by this treatment, and in some cases, alternative solutions may be more appropriate for their goals. That’s why selecting a provider with a strong reputation, extensive expertise, and a commitment to delivering noticeable results is so important.

During the consultation, we will customize a treatment recommendation and pricing for your plan. Our packages usually start at around $2,000. To make CoolSculpting accessible, we offer:

  • Monthly payment plans so you can break up the cost into manageable payments.
  • A $200 discount when you book during your consultation, helping you save on your investment.

Closing the Consultation: What Happens Next?

At the end of your consultation, you’ll receive:

  • A customized treatment plan and detailed pricing.
  • A follow-up email with helpful links and resources.
  • An opportunity to book your treatment immediately and claim your $200 discount.

If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll take a credit card to reserve your treatment date and go over pre-treatment instructions.
