How Long Does the Coolsculpting Procedure Last and How Many Treatments Are Needed?

The CoolSculpting procedure takes 1 hour for each area of the body you want to target. The number of treatments you’ll need depends on how many areas you would like to have treated, but you can have multiple areas treated in the same appointment. Most of my patients opt for 2 rounds of treatments, but some are happy after just 1. You will be able to see full results about 3 to 4 months after your first treatment, at which time you can decide if another treatment is necessary.

CoolSculpting is an excellent noninvasive fat-reduction technique that targets the stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure now lasts just 35 minutes per area, allowing you to be treated during a lunch break! In my NYC practice, I strongly urge my patients to come in for an in-person consultation in order to be properly assessed to ensure they good candidates for the procedure.  

Great question! CoolSculpting is a no downtime, non invasive procedure that permanently kills fat cells in the areas treated. If you are visiting a practice with the most current machines and protocols, your treatment can be as short at 35 minutes. Our practice has fully embraced the need of our patient's very busy lives and because of this, we offer DualSculpting. This allows our patients to have 2 areas of the body treated at 1 time, cutting their treatment time in half. If you are interested in having your lower abdomen and upper abdomen treated, your appointment time could be as short as an hour and a half. We always recommend to visit your practice for an in person consultation prior to booking a CoolSculpting or DualSculpting procedure. During this consultation, your provider can educate you on the treatment plan that is best for your individual aesthetic goals. Be sure to check the credentials of your provider as well. Many providers are graduates of CoolSculpting University, which trains CoolSculpting technicians the most advanced and safest treatment to transformation protocols.
