Does CoolSculpting® Offer Permanent Fat Reduction?

CoolSculpting® is a noninvasive solution for stubborn fat deposits that you can't seem to lose with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet.
Balcones Dermatology & Aesthetics offers custom CoolSculpting treatment plans for adults who aren’t ready for surgery but want to eliminate hard-to-lose belly fat, back fat, and love handles.
Board-certified dermatologist David A. Bushore, MD, and our team of licensed CoolSculpting technicians help you identify your treatment goals and use advanced cooling technologies to target only the areas you want to redefine.
An overview of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical, noninvasive procedure to reduce fat that doesn’t respond to exercise and diet. The technology uses cold energy to target and destroy fat cells beneath the skin's surface. The body eliminates the dead fat cells naturally over time, visibly slimming the treated area.
CoolSculpting technology is powerful enough to destroy stubborn fat but gentle enough to prevent damage to skin and other tissues. Board-certified dermatologist David A. Bushore, MD, and our technicians can use CoolSculpting technology to treat fat deposits in:
- Abdomen
- Back
- Waist
- Upper arms
- Under the buttocks
- Inner and outer thighs
We can also eliminate fat cells in the more delicate areas of the body, including under the chin.
To qualify for CoolSculpting, you must be close to an ideal body weight and have the appropriate expectations for results. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution and is designed for individuals who want to slim their body contours by eliminating stubborn areas of fat.
The CoolSculpting process
The CoolSculpting procedure requires no anesthesia, downtime, or recovery. You lie comfortably on an exam table and can relax throughout your treatment.
Our expert technician, Kayla, places a handheld applicator on the surface of the skin and cycles the CoolSculpting machine on. The applicator works as a vacuum, drawing tissue into a hollow chamber where the temperature drops to freeze fat cells.
When your treatment is complete, Kayla removes the applicator and massages the treatment area to break up the fat cells, so your body can eliminate them more efficiently.
You’re able to return to your usual routine right away without limitations.
The longevity of CoolSculpting results
CoolSculpting results are permanent. Once the freezing technology destroys the integrity of the cells, they can no longer store fat. It can take a series of treatments to destroy all of the fat cells in the treatment area, especially in larger areas like the abdomen and thighs.
However, new fat deposits can form if you gain weight. For this reason, you must remain consistent with daily exercise and follow a good diet to prevent the return of fat cells.
People who do gain weight after CoolSculpting sessions often notice less fat gain in the treated areas. If you’ve previously undergone treatment and fat returns, you can meet with our team to discuss your options for additional treatments.
