CoolSculpting® is an FDA-approved treatment that is highly effective for eliminating stubborn fat almost anywhere on the body. If you have fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, consider CoolSculpting® in Scottsdale, AZ!
What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® Elite is the most advanced fat-reduction technology from Allergan. The CoolSculpting® Elite applicators are better shaped to fully cover and treat your natural curves while providing an 18% larger cooling area than previous versions of CoolSculpting® applicators. Your provider can even use 2 applicators at the same time to tone two different areas in one treatment. CoolSculpting® can be safely used on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, love handles, and under the chin to permanently eliminate unwanted fat cells.
It’s important to recognize that CoolSculpting is not an alternative for weight loss surgery. This procedure is intended for small pockets of visible fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
CoolSculpting® treatment is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that is comfortable for most patients. The applicator will gently pull the fat bulges up and pinch them between two cooling panels that freeze fat cells under the skin. The CoolSculpting® procedure takes about one hour and during this time, you can relax, read, or work on your laptop as the applicator works its magic.
CoolSculpting® Results and Recovery
Since CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical treatment, there is minimal downtime and recovery. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. You might experience minor bruising, redness, or numbness in the treatment area, but this will quickly resolve on its own.
Results will begin to develop within 3 months as the dead fat cells are flushed from your body. These results and your newly toned appearance will continue to improve for an additional few months. New fat cells cannot grow back so as long as you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine, the results will be permanent, and you will no longer feel self-conscious about bulges of fat.
Blume Skin & Body is proud to offer this revolutionary fat-reduction procedure. If you want to reduce fat without having to go under the knife, schedule a consultation for CoolSculpting® at our office in Scottsdale, AZ.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses a process called cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells in targeted areas of the body. The procedure is FDA-cleared and has been widely studied, with more than 17 million treatments performed globally.
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting works by applying controlled cooling to fat cells, which causes them to crystallize and die. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated area.
What areas of the body can be treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat fat in nine areas, including under the chin, jawline, thighs, abdomen, flanks (love handles), upper arms, back, bra fat, and underneath the buttocks (banana roll).
How long does a CoolSculpting treatment take?
A CoolSculpting session typically takes between 35 minutes to 1 hour per treatment area. Multiple areas can be treated in one session, which may extend the total time required.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on individual goals and the areas being treated.
Is CoolSculpting safe?
Yes, CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects.
What are the potential side effects of CoolSculpting?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, and discomfort in the treated area. Rare but serious side effects include paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), where treated fat cells increase instead of decrease.
When will I see results from CoolSculpting?
Results can start to be seen as early as three weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results typically visible after three months. The body continues to flush out fat cells for up to four to six months after treatment.
Are the results from CoolSculpting permanent?
Once the treated fat cells are eliminated, they are gone for good. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
The cost of CoolSculpting varies depending on the number of areas treated and the number of sessions required. On average, the cost is around $3,200, but it can vary based on individual treatment plans.
Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
Good candidates for CoolSculpting are those with noticeable bulges of stubborn fat that have not responded to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss solution for obesity but rather a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
Can I return to normal activities after my CoolSculpting treatment?
Yes, CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure, so you can typically return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Do I need to follow a strict diet or exercise program after CoolSculpting?
No special diet or exercise program is required after CoolSculpting. However, many patients feel more motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle following their treatment.
Can I Drink Alcohol After CoolSculpting?
While there are no specific restrictions against drinking alcohol after CoolSculpting, it is generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Alcohol can contribute to dehydration and may exacerbate swelling and bruising, potentially delaying the healing process. Staying hydrated and following your provider's post-treatment care instructions will help ensure optimal results.
Can I Get CoolSculpting If I Have a Hernia?
If you have a hernia, you should consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing CoolSculpting. The procedure involves suction and cooling of the targeted area, which could potentially exacerbate an existing hernia or cause complications. A thorough medical evaluation is necessary to determine if CoolSculpting is safe and appropriate for you.
Can I Use a Heating Pad After CoolSculpting?
It is generally advised to avoid using a heating pad on the treated area immediately after CoolSculpting. The procedure involves exposing fat cells to cold temperatures, and applying heat could interfere with the body's natural healing process. Instead, follow your provider's recommendations for post-treatment care, which may include gentle massage and the use of anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Can You Take Advil After CoolSculpting?
Yes, you can take Advil (ibuprofen) after CoolSculpting to help manage any discomfort, swelling, or inflammation. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can be effective in relieving post-treatment symptoms. Always follow the dosage instructions and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or pre-existing conditions that might affect the use of NSAIDs.

I enjoyed every aspect of the practice from the staff to the facility itself- including the luxurious cool sculpting suite. What I think is really important to note is this is not a traditional snobby "scottsdale med spa." After performing thousands of these procedures , [Sandra] is truly an artist at placing the cool sculpting pieces exactly where they need to go which is the key to getting the results you want. The procedure was pretty much painless and the staff took every effort to make sure I was comfortable. I cant say enough great things about Blume- they are truly a state of the art practice that puts their patients needs first.
