Fat Freezing: What Happens During a Cool Sculpting Treatment?
Fat freezing uses innovative technology to reduce unwanted fat bulges by freezing fat cells to death. The procedure called CoolSculpting is rapidly becoming more popular with men and women across the country. It almost sounds too good to be true, but CoolSculpting before and after pictures and glowing CoolSculpting reviews, don't lie. Using advanced technology, fat freezing is safe, painless, and requires no downtime.
To get started freezing fat, It’s imperative to find a medical professional who has performed numerous CoolSculpting procedures, such as Dr. Natalya Chalik of Emerson Medical. Next, you need to book a consultation. This appointment gives clients a better understanding of the treatment and determines if they are a good candidate for fat freezing. If you feel this process can benefit your lifestyle, Dr. Chalik will go over a specific treatment plan that fulfills your needs.
How the fat freezing procedure works
On the day of your fat freezing procedure, the specialist will talk you through the treatment plan. CoolSculpting’s state-of-the-art and efficient technology will blast the stubborn fat away in no time. Most cooling cycles take 35 minutes to complete.

Dr. Chalik will start the process by marking the treatment area. A CoolSculpting applicator is then applied to the fat bulge. To keep that applicator in place, a light vacuum mechanism is used to suction it the applicator to the bulge. This also forces fat cells to come to the surface of the skin and allows for complete exposure – working to reduce as much fat as possible.
At this point in the procedure, the fat freezing machine is turned on. Controlled cooling envelopes the treatment area and starts to safely freeze your fat cells. You might feel different sensations like tugging or extreme cold in the area that is being worked on. Don’t worry, this won’t last. These sensations typically fade off in a few minutes and most patients say their experience with CoolSculpting was pain-free.
After the treatment, Dr. Chalik will massage the treatment area for about two minutes. Another positive to fat freezing is there’s no downtime. You can immediately get back to your daily routine, including workouts, right after the procedure.

Post Fat Freezing
After freezing fat, the CoolSculpting process stimulates your body’s immune system. The lymphatic system gradually gathers and then eliminates the frozen fat cells. The natural process can take several weeks for clients to see changes. Although some start noticing a difference in four weeks, it typically takes 8-12 weeks to see the full potential of the fat freezing process.*
CoolSculpting side effects directly after the treatment are possible. As the body metabolizes the fat cells, a person may feel tenderness, bruising, or redness at the treatment area. Patients report that these symptoms are typically mild, and subside in a few days.
