What will my results be?
On average, each CoolSculpting procedure results in a 20% reduction off at in the treated area. After the initial treatment is complete, you can attain further reductions iwth additional procedures. Some patients, though, find that one treatment fully addresses their goals. You and your doctor will discuss and design a plan that suits you best.

What happens during the procedure?
You and you doctor first select the area(s) to be treated. Your doctor will position the device on yor body. This device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure - enough of a pull to ensure the tissue will be cooled most efficiently.

What does it feel like?
As the cooling goes to work in the first few minutes, you'll feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. And, because you're seated or lying down during the one-to-three-hour procedure, the treatment is comfortable. Many people spend this time reading, working on their laptop, or even taking a nap.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?
Yes! The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-invasive, so you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, or numbness in the treated area, but this is temporary.

Cool Benefits:
No cutting, no needles, no downtime
Safe, comfortable, convenient
Natural and effective
Clinically proven

When will I see results?
You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatent, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. but your body is still flushing fat cells, and will continue doing so for up to six months.

Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?
No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt a new diet and exercise habit.

Are the results permanent?
When you have your CoolSculpting procedure, the treated fat cells will be eliminated. As long as you maintain your weight wth your normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable.

Patient Testimonials for Coolsculpting

"I just want to say that Dr. Liu did an amazing job with my body. For anyone who wakes up and looks in the mirror and is dissatisfied with the bulges they see, this is the treatment for you! Now I look in the mirror and love what I see. I got the Coolsculpting procedure done during my lunch break and went straight back to work with no downtime. Now my clothes fit beautifully on me and I just love the way I look. One procedure made a huge difference. I was shocked at the amazing results. This was better than a face lift! Even after all my facial procedures to look better, I was left with unwanted fat pockets that still showed the signs of aging. Now my clothes fit better, I feel better, and I look better! I had no down time, and was able to go back to work right after lunch after doing the procedure in the morning. I highly recommend this procedure to anyone who stands in front of the mirror and wishes the bulge they see was gone. Good luck and go for it! As well as being a real professional, she is so well-informed that she takes the fear out of every procedure and the result is A++. I have had the doctor help me with many of my skin problems and I have always been so happy that I am completely confident in any procedure she performs. She is the best!"

"I had a large amount of abdomen fat that I just couldn't get off. I had the upper and lower abdomen done and had great results. I noticed a shrinkage of the fat within days and continued to shrink. I also had the love handles and back fat done just under the bra line. I have a waist again. I'm very pleased! No downtime at all. Dr. Liu and her staff are very professional and yet so very friendly. Very easy to talk to and ask questions. I feel very comfortable in her office."

"Had a huge beer/carb belly last vacation pic were not appealing to look at. Dr. Liu was so professional. She went over all my options carefully and did not press for me to select any procedure. In fact, she talked my wife out of attempting the procedure on a spot that she thought was not optimal for Coolsculpting. I chose to do 3 areas initially: sides and abdomen. Sides were almost painless, just a strong pinch for about 1 min then it just feels numb. The abdomen was a little more tender, felt a strong pinch for 5 minutes then a mild numbness for the remaining 55 minutes. Office has a very nice, wide selection of DVDs to watch during the procedure. Results were so good on the first 3 areas that I just went back for two more treatments on different spots. Went from wearing a size 38 jean to 34 jean in 4 weeks, but Dr. Liu says the full benefit won't be seen until week 8. Going from size 38 to 34 jeans in 4 weeks has been amazing, and motivated me to start diet and exercising to get even more results. Will probably also get additional treatments to get my goal of a size 30."

"Although I work out three times a week, the only area I can't seem to make a bit of difference with is my tummy "pooch." When I learned of the CoolSculpting procedure, I immediately booked an appointment. Not only did I experience amazing results, my "pooch" is almost gone and my torso is flatter than it has been in years. I just had another appointment, this time for the area right above my lower abdomen. If the results are anything like my first visit, I will be purchasing a new bikini to show off at the local beach very soon!"
