Cutting carbs and crushing crunches isn’t always guaranteed to deliver your dream physique. Sometimes, getting rid of stubborn, unwanted fat takes some extra intervention, which is where CoolSculpting® comes into play. This nonsurgical body contouring treatment uses an innovative process called cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat cells,  helping you slim and tone your body in just a few sessions CoolSculpting can be used to slim areas of the body such as the chin, stomach, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs (saddlebags), arms, upper back (bra fat), knees, and buttocks (banana rolls).

But how many CoolSculpting treatments are needed to address targeted areas of the body sufficiently? Using our DualSculpting approach (two machines simultaneously), we can accomplish the same results in half the time it takes using the traditional CoolSculpting approach. Keeping in mind that every patient is unique and each CoolSculpting treatment is highly customized, we’ve got you covered with the following general overview.

CoolSculpting Treatments for Chin

CoolSculpting for the chin is a safe, effective, and less invasive alternative to chin liposuction. Depending on the extent of your double chin, you may require 1 to 3 sessions to achieve your desired results.

CoolSculpting Treatment for Thighs

Slimming and contouring your thighs typically requires 2 to 4 CoolSculpting sessions. Treating the inner thighs takes roughly 35 minutes while CoolSculpting for the outer thighs takes about 75 minutes per session.

CoolSculpting Treatments for Stomach

The number of treatments needed for the abdomen or stomach usually depends on the amount of fat being treated. You can typically achieve the svelte tummy you’re after with 2 to 4 CoolSculpting sessions. Your treatments will be spaced about a month apart to allow your body to gradually eliminate the treated fat cells.

CoolSculpting for Arms

We can typically help you sculpt flabby upper arms in 1 or 2 sessions, depending on how much fat is present. Many patients also combine CoolSculpting with a skin-tightening treatment like Exilis Ultra™ to smooth and firm treated skin.

CoolSclupting Treatment Takeaway

The number of CoolSculpting treatments needed varies based on the amount of fat, the specific area being treated, and the individual. Some patients with minimal localized fat may require only 1 session, while others may benefit from multiple sessions spaced approximately a month apart. At our practice, you can expect up to a 30% reduction in fat after 2 CoolSculpting sessions, which always include complimentary ZWave therapy to accelerate your results. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle helps you preserve your sculpted physique.
