The CoolSculpting procedure normally takes 35 minutes and results are lasting. Research is constantly being done to evaluate if patients continue to see results. Recently one study showed an individual had great results 9 years after treatment. Because the fat cells that are treated die off, they are gone for good. The remaining fat cells are able to grow and expand, but the ones effected by the treatment are eliminated. Every person is different in regards to the number of treatments needed. This can depend on the size and contour of your body, as well as what areas you want treated. We advise you to seek consultation to discover the areas of opportunity for treatment and how many treatments you need to see the desired results.
