Have you ever wished you could sculpt away stubborn fat with the wave of a magic wand? Even if you are at your ideal weight, it can be hard to deal with fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and other tricky spots that can be resistant to all your best diet and exercise efforts. CoolSculpting has evolved the body sculpting landscape by introducing a completely non-invasive way to reduce fat. Our CoolSculpting specialists work alongside you to develop a treatment plan that delivers sleeker, smoother contours for the beautiful and balanced physique of your dreams.
CoolSculpting is a revolutionary non-invasive method of targeting and removing stubborn fat cells in key areas of the body using a cooling technology. Developed by research scientists, CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis to freeze subcutaneous fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the broken-down fat cells, revealing a more sculpted and contoured appearance in common problem areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, chin (double chin), upper arms, and back.
CoolSculpting is an excellent alternative to traditional liposuction, gifting you the ability to reduce fat in specific spots with zero incisions. When considering CoolSculpting Manhattan patients that come to us can expect the following benefits:
Your Bel Angé CoolSculpting specialist will learn about your goals and medical history to ensure that CoolSculpting is the perfect fit for your needs. During the consultation stage, they will also give you an idea of what results you can expect from CoolSculpting and how many sessions will be needed to achieve them. On the day of treatment, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a gel pad or applicator will be applied to protect the skin and facilitate optimal contact with the CoolSculpting device.
The CoolSculpting handpiece is specially shaped to curve around the treatment area for targeted fat removal. The device applies controlled cooling to fat cells, which causes them to crystallize and undergo apoptosis (natural cell death). You may experience sensations of coldness, suction, or tingling during the procedure, but these usually subside as the skin grows numb. A CoolSculpting session typically lasts between 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
At our practice in Manhattan CoolSculpting has the benefit of coming with minimal recovery and aftercare demands. After a session, the treated area may appear swollen, red, or bruised. It’s also normal for you to experience sensations of tingling, numbness, or mild discomfort.
These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days to weeks. You can return to your regular activities directly after CoolSculpting. While the treated area is numb or sensitive, you should avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, such as hot baths, saunas, or ice packs. Also, skip harsh or abrasive skincare products until side effects have subsided. Depending on your treatment plan, you may have follow-up appointments scheduled to assess your progress and deliver additional treatments.
CoolSculpting has the unique benefit of providing results gradually for a natural-looking transformation. Some people may begin to see changes as early as three weeks post-treatment, with gradual improvements continuing over the following weeks as the body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells.
Optimal results from CoolSculpting are typically visible around two to three months post-treatment. On average, CoolSculpting can result in a 20 to 25 percent reduction in fat in the treated area. After your CoolSculpting experience is complete, you’ll enjoy sleeker, smoother contours and may find that clothes fit you better. Keeping up a healthy lifestyle ensures long-lasting results, making CoolSculpting a great way to invest in lasting beauty and confidence.

CoolSculpting is generally well-tolerated, with most people experiencing minimal discomfort during the procedure. Initially, there may be sensations of coldness and pressure as the treatment area is cooled, but these usually subside after a few minutes. Many patients find CoolSculpting to be relatively comfortable and are able to relax, read, or catch up on emails during the treatment.
The number of CoolSculpting sessions you will need is based on your individual goals and the amount of fat in the treatment area. While some people may achieve their desired results after a single session, others may benefit from multiple treatments to achieve optimal fat reduction. During your consultation, your Bel Angé CoolSculpting specialist will help design a treatment plan customized to your needs and goals.
CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for reducing fat in several areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, chin (double chin), upper arms, and back. It's a versatile treatment that addresses stubborn pockets of fat in common trouble areas without surgery or downtime.
Some people may start to see improvements as early as three weeks post-treatment, with optimal results usually visible around two to three months after the last session. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to maximize and sustain the results.
CoolSculpting provides long-lasting results, as the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated from the body. Once fat cells are frozen and destroyed during the CoolSculpting procedure, they are gradually metabolized and naturally excreted by the body over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise is essential to prevent new fat cells from accumulating in the treated areas.
