When the weather warms up, the bikinis come out, and many women realize they aren’t quite ready for swimsuit season. Hurry into Diehl Plastic Surgery in Raleigh, NC to get bikini body ready. CoolSculpting® Fat Freezing can shape and sculpt your body without surgery.
What is CoolSculpting® and How Does It Work?
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat. It uses Cryolipolysis, a technology that freezes and kills fat cells in targeted areas. The cold temperature causes the fat cells to crystallize and break down. Over time, your body naturally eliminates dead fat cells, leaving you with a slimmer, more defined shape.
It’s important to know that CoolSculpting® is not meant for weight loss. Instead, it’s a treatment for contouring the body and tackling fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. If you’re looking to tone specific areas, CoolSculpting® might be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Does CoolSculpting® Really Work?
CoolSculpting® uses advanced Cryolipolysis procedures that target subcutaneous fat to safely freeze fat cells in specific areas for localized fat reduction. Studies show that it can reduce fat by 20-25% after just one treatment. Since it’s non-invasive, there’s no surgery, no scarring, and no lengthy recovery. Most patients begin noticing results within a few weeks.
What Happens During a CoolSculpting® Session?
A typical CoolSculpting® session lasts around 35 minutes, so it’s easy to fit into your day. During the treatment, a CoolSculpting® applicator is placed on the treatment area to cool the fat cells. You may feel a cold sensation at first, followed by numbness as the treatment takes effect.
Once the session is over, you can get back to your usual activities right away. Over the next few weeks, your body will naturally eliminate the frozen fat cells, and you’ll start seeing results in about 1-3 months.
Areas CoolSculpting® Can Treat
CoolSculpting® isn’t just for one area of the body; it’s versatile and can treat many common trouble spots, including:
- Abdomen
- Upper Arms
- Chin (double chin)
- Bra roll area
- Flanks (love handles)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Banana rolls (underneath the buttocks)
- Knees
With DualSculpting, we can treat two areas at the same time, making your treatment even more efficient.
Are You a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is ideal for people who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn fat in certain areas. It’s not meant for overall weight loss but works best for contouring the body and targeting fat that doesn’t go away with diet or exercise.
If you’re in good health and have no conditions that could interfere with the treatment (such as pregnancy or certain cold-related health issues), you’re likely a great candidate. During your consultation, our specialists will assist your needs and help determine if CoolSculpting® is right for you.
What Are the Side Effects of CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is generally considered safe and non-invasive, but there are some rare side effects to be aware of. One of these rare complications is paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH), a condition where red blood cells can be destroyed in response to cold temperatures. However, this is extremely uncommon. Most people experience only minor side effects such as:
- Mild swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Temporary redness or numbness in the treated area
These effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days. Our team of specialists will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery is smooth and comfortable.
