CoolSculpting®
Freeze Away Stubborn Fat—No Surgery, No Downtime
No matter how healthy your lifestyle, certain areas of stubborn fat can be difficult to lose. That’s where CoolSculpting® comes in. At Laser Cosmetic Center in Kalispell, we offer this FDA-cleared, non-invasive fat reduction treatment to help you eliminate problem areas—without needles, surgery, or recovery time.
Whether you’re targeting love handles, a belly bulge, or a double chin, CoolSculpting is a safe and clinically proven solution to reshape your body and help you feel more confident in your skin.
What Is CoolSculpting and How Does It Work?
CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis, which works by safely delivering controlled cooling to fat cells underneath the skin. These fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than other tissues, allowing them to be targeted and destroyed without harming skin, nerves, or muscle.
Once frozen, the fat cells crystallize and gradually die off. Your body then processes and naturally eliminates these dead cells over the following weeks—resulting in a noticeable and permanent reduction in fat volume in the treated area.
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, but it is highly effective for reshaping areas of the body that resist traditional fat-loss methods like diet and exercise.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in nine different areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (“love handles”)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Bra fat and back fat
- Under the buttocks (“banana roll”)
- Submental area (under the chin)
- Jawline
- Male chest (pseudogynecomastia)
Multiple areas can be treated in a single session, and we’ll work with you to create a customized plan based on your body and goals.
What to Expect
During Your Treatment
At your consultation, we’ll assess your treatment areas and create a tailored CoolSculpting plan. During the procedure, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the area, and controlled cooling is delivered over 35–60 minutes, depending on the location.
You may feel firm suction, intense cold, or tingling for the first few minutes, which typically subsides as the area becomes numb. Most patients relax during treatment—some even read or nap.
After the applicator is removed, the area is briefly massaged to break up the frozen fat cells and enhance results. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Minimal side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, tingling, or sensitivity in the treated area—all of which typically resolve within a few days.
When will I see results?
You may start to notice changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results visible after 2–3 months. Your body continues to flush out fat cells for up to 4–6 months after your session.
On average, patients experience 20–25% fat reduction in the treated area after a single session. Some areas may benefit from additional sessions for enhanced contouring.
Am I a Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is best suited for individuals who are near their ideal body weight but have specific areas of stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet or exercise. It’s a great option if you:
- Want a non-surgical, no-downtime alternative to liposuction
- Have realistic expectations and want gradual, natural-looking results
- Are in good general health and at a stable weight
If you’re not sure whether CoolSculpting is right for you, we’ll review your options during a personalized consultation and help you decide on the best course of action.
