CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat freezing treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. Using advanced cryolipolysis technology, CoolSculpting targets and freezes fat cells without surgery or downtime.
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce localised areas of unwanted fat using controlled cooling technology. It is an evidence-based procedure that targets fat cells beneath the skin without surgery, needles, or downtime.
How CoolSculpting works
CoolSculpting is based on cryolipolysis, a process in which fat cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than surrounding tissues. During treatment:
- A specialised applicator uses gentle suction to draw targeted tissue into position
- Controlled cooling is applied to freeze fat cells
- The treated fat cells are gradually broken down and eliminated by the body over time
Surrounding skin, muscle, and nerves are not damaged by the process.
What CoolSculpting is designed to address
CoolSculpting is intended to reduce stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. It is not a weight-loss treatment, but a body contouring option for targeted fat reduction.
Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Waist and flanks (love handles)
- Bra fat
- Arms
- Double chin
- Thighs
- Hips
- Buttocks
Treatment areas are chosen after assessing fat distribution and suitability.
Treatment experience
CoolSculpting treatments are performed without anaesthetic. During treatment, patients may experience:
- Intense cold initially, which typically subsides
- A pulling or pressure sensation from the applicator
Each treatment cycle lasts approximately 35–75 minutes, depending on the area treated and applicator used.
Results and timeline
Fat reduction following CoolSculpting occurs gradually. As the body processes and eliminates frozen fat cells:
- Changes may begin to appear within a few weeks
- Results continue to develop over 2–3 months
- Treated fat cells are permanently removed
Results depend on individual metabolism, the area treated, and the number of treatment cycles performed.
Evidence and safety
CoolSculpting is one of the most researched non-surgical fat reduction technologies, with a substantial body of clinical evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness. It is widely used internationally and is FDA-cleared for multiple treatment areas.
At LASE Cosmetic, treatment protocols follow manufacturer guidance and clinical best practice.
Mini CoolSculpting treatments
In selected cases, a mini CoolSculpting treatment may be appropriate for very small or localised fat deposits. Suitability is determined during consultation based on treatment goals and anatomy.
Combining CoolSculpting with other treatments
CoolSculpting may be used:
- As a stand-alone body contouring treatment
- In combination with other non-surgical treatments
- Alongside surgical procedures as part of a broader contouring plan
Combination treatment is planned carefully to ensure safety and realistic outcomes.
Consultation and assessment
A consultation allows for assessment of fat distribution, discussion of treatment areas, and explanation of expected outcomes and limitations. Alternative body contouring options may also be discussed where appropriate.
The emphasis is on providing clear, factual information so that CoolSculpting is considered as part of an informed, measured approach to non-surgical fat reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please read the frequently asked questions below which may answer any queries or ease any concerns you may have.
It’s a safe method of body contouring that has proved reliable for patients seeking to feel more confident in their body. Unlike surgical fat removal procedures like liposuction, CoolSculpting can help to create a smoother shape without the need for invasive techniques.
This body contouring treatment is popular with both men and women looking to improve their silhouette. At LASE Cosmetic, we treat adults of all ages, and a consultation is essential to determine whether CoolSculpting is the most suitable fat reduction treatment for you. If you are looking to remove fat rather than reduce it, a surgical option such as liposculpture may also be considered.
Your aesthetic expert, who you meet before undergoing any form of cosmetic treatment, places the device on the specific area of the body you wish to reduce fat from. The device uses suction to concentrate the effect on the treatment area as it freezes the fat cells. It’s not normally painful but the sensation can sometimes feel temporarily uncomfortable.
Body contouring with CoolSculpting varies in treatment times. It depends on the area being treated and how much fat is due to be reduced, but on average treatment times are around 1 hour.
You can go home post-treatment. There are very few side effects; you may notice some redness and a numb sensation for a while, which is normal. Patients are given full aftercare information.
