Can Coolsculpting Help You Lose Weight?

No. CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss treatment. Instead, it's a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. If you're close to your goal weight but struggle with areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, or under the chin, CoolSculpting can help create a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.

CoolSculpting works by using controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. Over the following weeks and months, your body naturally processes and eliminates those treated fat cells. Each treatment can permanently reduce up to 25% of the fat cells in the treated area, but it won't affect your overall body weight in a meaningful way. That's because CoolSculpting targets localized fat—not pounds on the scale.

At LaserAway, we'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your body contouring goals and the areas you'd like to treat. If you're looking to refine your shape rather than lose weight, CoolSculpting may be a great option. During your consultation, your clinician will help determine whether you're a good candidate and recommend the approach that's right for you.

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is ideal for people who are close to their goal weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that don't improve with diet and exercise.

How much fat does CoolSculpting remove?

Each CoolSculpting treatment can permanently reduce up to 25% of the fat cells in the treated area. Your clinician can recommend the number of treatments needed to achieve your desired results.

Are CoolSculpting results permanent?

Yes. Once the treated fat cells are eliminated, they're gone for good. However, maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your results because the remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.

Where does the fat go after CoolSculpting?

Your body naturally breaks down and eliminates the treated fat cells over time through its normal metabolic processes, revealing gradual, natural-looking results.
