At LaserAway, the cost of a single CoolSculpting applicator is $525, when purchased individually, and as low as $265, when 8+ treatments are purchased. The total cost of a CoolSculpting session can vary depending on the size of the treatment area, number of applicators used, and your personalized treatment plan. Pricing is customized because every body is different, and treatment plans vary based on your goals.

Why CoolSculpting Costs Vary
CoolSculpting is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Cost depends on several key factors:
- Number of applicators used: Larger or multiple areas require more applicators per session.
- Treatment area size: Areas like the abdomen or thighs typically cost more than smaller zones like the chin.
- Number of sessions: Some patients achieve results with one session, while others benefit from additional treatments.
- Treatment goals: More dramatic fat reduction requires a more comprehensive plan.
- Packages and bundles: Treating multiple areas together can offer better overall value.

How many CoolSculpting treatments will I need?
Most patients begin to see results after just one treatment, but the number of sessions needed depends on your body and your goals. Your treatment specialist will recommend a personalized plan during your consultation.
"The number of sessions you need ultimately depends on your body habitus, which is how your body looks and how much you're going to exercise and how healthy you're going to eat."
Is CoolSculpting permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are frozen and naturally eliminated by the body, they're gone for good.
During treatment, a specialized CoolSculpting applicator is placed on the targeted area to precisely freeze fat cells beneath the skin. As Dr. Kirby explains, "20 to 25% of the fat in that hand piece will be permanently reduced… and when it's reduced, that specific fat will not come back."
That said, CoolSculpting does not prevent future weight gain. Remaining fat cells can still expand, which is why maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results long-term.
