During the treatment you may feel some pinching, pulling, tugging, coldness, stinging, tingling, and cramping at the treatment site. This will typically subside as the area becomes numb. After the procedure, there may be some temporary redness, aching, itching, bruising, blanching, skin sensitivity, and firmness. These typically resolve within days or weeks. If you have any concerns about your San Diego CoolSculpting, just give us a call.

CoolSculpting safely and precisely cools to gently target unwanted fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are frozen and then die. Once the procedure is done, the destroyed fat cells are metabolized by the body and eliminated through your natural waste system. When the fat cells are gone, they are permanently gone, leaving you with a more sculpted physique.

Although the process begins immediately, you may not see results right away. Typically it can take up to three weeks after your initial treatment to see the results with the best results seen around two months. However, the process of flushing will continue for an additional four to six months.

Most patients see a 20-25% fat reduction in the treated area within one to three months.
