This technology was first discovered by scientists studying cold panniculitis in babies when eating popsicles; as you can tell we have come a long way. This freezing fat technology targets specific bulges or pockets of fat, that are just too stubborn to budge with diet and exercise. The cold penetrates the subcutaneous layer of fat, which is that fluffy squishy fat that we all know and love. The fat cells in this area then go into apoptosis, or programmed cell death and are killed. The dead fat cells are cleaned up by macrophages (our bodies clean-up cells) and are naturally excreted through sweat and urine. This process takes about 90 days and the treated areas will be visibly reduced for permanent results. YES, you read that right, permanent!

CoolSculpting has been studied in depth by researchers, doctors, scientists, and clinicians for over a decade. It was FDA approved in 2010 and quickly became the next best thing alongside liposuction. The devices and technology have been upgraded through several versions, our newest being the CoolSculpting Elite.
