What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that utilizes precision guided cooling to safely and effectively eliminate unwanted fat. To date, over 7 million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed worldwide. The results are prOVen, noticeable, and lasting - which means you’ll look amazing from head to toe.
Am I a candidate?
CoolSculpting is ideal for people looking for the reduction of specific areas of fat, such as the stomach, legs, butt, chin, or arms. For the procedure to work at its highest efficiency, candidates should be near or at a healthy weight; we do not recommend this procedure for significantly overweight or obese patients. For more information about whether you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting, take our short quiz.

Where does the fat go?
Fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting procedure gradually die off and leave the body through the body’s natural elimination processes. That’s why the results are long-term. Untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution.
Am I a good candidate for the CoolSculpting procedure?
The CoolSculpting fat-reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have unwanted fat in targeted areas. Unlike weight-loss surgery (e.g. gastric bypass), the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight-loss solution for people who are obese. Good candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Many clients are looking for a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
How many times can you get CoolSculpting?
In general, patients need between 1 and 3 treatment sessions for each treated area to see optimum results. There are also several other factors, including size of area and amount of fat, that can change the timeline between you and your ideal body. If you have any questions about CoolSculpting for your body, reach out to us for a consultation and custom treatment plan.
How long do I have to wait between CoolSculpting treatments?
For the best results, we recommend that clients wait 60 days between treatments. When you come in for your first treatment at OVME, our consultant will walk you through the best treatment timeline for your goals and your budget.
Will my health insurance cover my CoolSculpting treatments?
CoolSculpting is a voluntary treatment, so it is not typically covered by insurance providers. To see if your health plan has options for you, check directly with your insurance or FSA provider to learn what coverage and benefits you have under your plan. You are also welcome to speak with us about financing options during your consultation.
Your CoolSculpting provider will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting treatment may vary depending on the number of areas being treated during your visit. The latest technology of CoolSculpting can treat patients in 35-60 minutes. Select OVME studios have multiple CoolSculpting systems and applicators, so it’s possible for one patient to have multiple areas treated at the same time. You and your provider may opt to schedule additional treatments in order to achieve complete transformation.

Yes! The CoolSculpting procedure can treat visible fat bulges under the chin and contour the neck. Freezing away fat from a double chin is as easy and virtually painless. With CoolSculpting treatment for a double chin, patients typically see results after just 1 to 2 visits.
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body.
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you typically feel intense cold. This soon dissipates. With some applicators, you’ll feel some pulling as suction is applied. The area generally goes numb within 5 to 10 minutes during treatment. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their CoolSculpting treatment.
After the treatment, you may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for 2 or 3 minutes. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities following their appointment. What to Expect has more information about what happens before, during, and after your CoolSculpting procedure.

The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask your physician if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you prior to receiving treatment.
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, temporary numbness in the area treated, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within days or weeks. Though rare, some additional side effects may occur. As with any medical procedure, ask your physician if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Patients often return to work on the same day after a CoolSculpting treatment is completed.
Always be sure to schedule a follow-up assessment with your CoolSculpting provider to review your results and discuss the option of additional treatments. Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A healthy body is a happy one. And we want you to be happy with your results!
You may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after 2-3 months. Some people see nothing at 2 months. Your body will still continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment. The Before & After gallery shows what results look like several weeks after a CoolSculpting treatment.
No supplements are required after your CoolSculpting treatment. It’s not a diet or exercise program, so you won’t need to change any of your lifestyle habits. Many patients do feel more motivated to take care of themselves after a CoolSculpting treatment.
Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, feel even more motivated to stay close to their ideal weight. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas*. We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight in order to continue to fully appreciate your CS results.
