What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses innovative technology to eliminate bulges of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. You may be able to eliminate the fat on your own, but it can take months, if not years. With CoolSculpting, you can quickly reduce fat.
Benefits of CoolSculpting®
Unlike most treatments to reduce excess fat, CoolSculpting does not require surgery, needles or downtime. The treatment can take less than one hour.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Fat Freezing?
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical way for you to get rid of the stubborn fat that exercise and diets just can’t help. Our patients have seen natural looking results to eliminate bulges in the following areas:
- Love handles
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Thighs and knees
- Triceps
- Below your gluteus
- Double chin
- Back/bra fat

CoolSculpting Before & After Photos
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
CoolSculpting involves no surgery or downtime! CoolSculpting works by cooling fat cells to the temperature that they freeze, and die off, and your body naturally eliminates them. Once in a comfortable position, we apply the applicator to the treatment area, and best of all… you can even use your cell phone, listen to your favorite music, relax and even take a nap!
How Many CoolSculpting® Treatments Will I Need?
As every person is different, our team of providers will let you know how many treatments you need in order to receive your desired results. Upon your first visit at our Swansea office, our team will discuss your personal goals and the results you desire to see. We will customize an individual plan to best serve your lifestyle while making your desires one of our main priorities.

CoolSculpting® Results
CoolSculpting destroys excess fat cells, and they are permanently eliminated. After your treatment, you can expect an approximate 20% reduction in fat in the treated area within the next six months. Although, the most significant results are typically visible between two and four months. Staying healthy and fit reduces the likelihood of enlarging your remaining fat.
Who is Not a Candidate for CoolSculpting®?
No, CoolSculpting® is not meant for everyone and is not to be used as a weight-loss tool. Our team will review whether CoolSculpting is right for your particular goals during your complimentary consultation.
Is CoolSculpting® Covered By Health Insurance?
No, medical health insurance does not cover CoolSculpting®. However, we do offer a patient financing program, should you be interested. You can follow the link below to apply.
How Many CoolSculpting Sessions Will I Need?
The number of CoolSculpting sessions needed varies based on individual goals and the areas treated.
Many patients notice a decrease in fat after one session. However, for optimal results, several appointments may be recommended.
Generally, patients benefit from 1 to 3 sessions per treatment area. Results appear over several weeks to months as the body eliminates the treated fat cells.
Your provider will assess your needs during your initial consultation. They’ll then recommend a personalized treatment plan that maximizes fat reduction.
Can CoolSculpting Help With Loose Skin or Cellulite?
CoolSculpting is designed for fat reduction. It is not meant to address loose skin or cellulite. While it reduces fat in targeted areas by freezing fat cells, it does not tighten sagging skin or improve the appearance of cellulite.
Some patients with good skin elasticity may notice their skin appears smoother as the fat beneath the surface is reduced. However, if loose skin or cellulite is your primary concern, your provider may recommend alternative solutions.
Is CoolSculpting Safe for All Skin Types and Tones?
Yes, CoolSculpting is considered safe for all skin types and tones. The procedure works by targeting fat cells underneath the skin. That means the surface layer of the skin remains unaffected.
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that doesn’t involve lasers or incisions. This makes it suitable for people with different skin colors and textures.
Many clinical trials have established CoolSculpting’s safety, and the FDA has approved it for fat reduction. Still, it’s important to consult with a qualified provider — like those at Musick Dermatology & Advanced Clinical Spa — to ensure the service is right for you.
What Should I Expect Immediately After a CoolSculpting Treatment?
Immediately after a CoolSculpting session, you might temporarily experience:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tingling
- Numbness
These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to days. Some patients may also feel slight tenderness or firmness in the area. Discomfort is generally minimal, though.
Most individuals can return to regular activities, including work and exercise, right after the procedure. Full results will develop over the next few weeks as your body processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
Will the Fat Return to Treated Areas After CoolSculpting?
The fat will not return to treated areas after CoolSculpting as long as you maintain a stable weight.
CoolSculpting works by freezing and permanently eliminating fat cells from the targeted area. After destroying these fat cells, the body processes and removes them. They do not regenerate.
If you gain weight after the treatment, your body may store fat in untreated areas. This could alter your overall body shape. To preserve your results, it’s important to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine.
