What Should Patients Expect During and After the Procedure?
During the CoolSculpting procedure, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. Patients may feel intense cold initially, but this sensation typically subsides as the area becomes numb. The procedure usually lasts about 35 to 60 minutes per treatment area. Afterward, patients can resume normal activities immediately, with minimal downtime. Results are generally seen within 1 to 3 months as the body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells.
