Coolsculpting

Does CoolSculpting hurt?

CoolSculpting is generally very well-tolerated, and most patients do not describe it as painful. At the start of treatment, you may feel a strong cooling sensation along with gentle pulling or pressure as the applicator secures to the treatment area. These sensations usually fade within minutes as the area becomes numb, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the session. Because CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, there are no needles, anesthesia, or incisions involved—only controlled cooling delivered with medical precision. Once the applicator is removed, your clinician will massage the area to enhance results, which may create some brief sensitivity or tingling. Overall, patients are often surprised by how manageable the treatment feels and how easily they can return to their normal activities right away.

Are there side effects from CoolSculpting?

Some patients may experience temporary redness, numbness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within days to weeks.

How is CoolSculpting different from surgical fat reduction?

Unlike procedures such as liposuction, CoolSculpting requires no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. It offers a comfortable, non-invasive option for refining and contouring areas resistant to diet and exercise.

What ensures my comfort during treatment?

At LaserAway, every CoolSculpting session is performed by licensed medical professionals who specialize in patient safety and comfort. Our clinicians monitor you closely, and many patients pass the time reading, listening to music, or simply relaxing.

Will I be sore afterward?

Mild soreness, tingling, or bruising may occur in the treated area, but these side effects are temporary and resolve naturally. Most patients resume their normal routine immediately after leaving the clinic.
