Or excited? Patients who are looking to finally lose the last bit of their stubborn fat can rejoice; CoolSculpting is an effective, pain-free way to eliminate fat cells from your body, without surgery or a long recovery time*.
CoolSculpting is a remarkable non-invasive treatment that reduces areas of unwanted fat without surgery or downtime*.

To date, more than 4 million CoolSculpting procedures have been performed worldwide.

CoolSculpting Before & Afters
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to freeze selected areas of unwanted fat. Once the fat cells are crystalized (i.e., frozen), they die and the body naturally processes and filters the dead cells in the following weeks*. As a result, the treated area looks slimmer and more sculpted*. Once the fat cells are gone, the same cells do not return*.
Benefits of CoolSculpting
Thanks to CoolSculpting technology, patients can achieve:
- A loss of up to 25% of the fat in the treated area, per treatment*.
- Their ideal, sculpted body. CoolSculpting can safely and effectively destroy the fat patients have been struggling to lose through diet and exercise*. Their slim body will finally reflect their active efforts*.
- A body transformation with almost no interruption to their daily schedule*. A CoolSculpt session can be completed in anywhere from 35 minutes to just over an hour. Patients’ recovery timeframe will be much shorter and easier than other weight loss procedures*.
- Fat loss literally in their sleep*. While you go about your daily schedule in the months following your CoolSculpting, your body will be working to expel the deceased fat cells. The treated area(s) will become slimmer and more contoured during this time*.
- Twice the treatment in half the time. Patients can opt to receive DualSculpting and tackle the fat in multiple areas of their body at once!

Treatment Details
Every CoolSculpting patient has a treatment plan that is tailored to their needs. Dr. Wooten consults with every candidate to examine the area(s) of concern and recommend a suitable course of action to deliver the desired outcomes*. Some patients may see the desired results in one treatment, whereas most will need multiple treatments*.

On the day of the procedure, patients relax on the treatment table and are free to read, watch a movie on their smartphone or tablet, or even nap. A gel pad and applicator is placed over the affected area and delivers controlled cooling to the fat tissues. This is not painful, although patients may feel an initial sensation of intense cold and possibly mild pinching, tingling, or stinging. After the treatment has covered the entire targeted area, the patient is released to resume work or their normal activities.
Treatment time varies, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Most treatments take 35 to 60 minutes, although with two CoolSculpting machines, Dr. Wooten can divide the treatment time in half.

Recovery and Results

There is no recovery time needed. Patients can immediately go back to work and the rest of their regular routine. Some people experience temporary redness, tingling, bruising, or swelling in the treated area, but these side effects subside quickly. Serious side effects are rare. In the weeks following treatment, the frozen fat cells die and are naturally processed and filtered from the body. The treated area will become slower and increasingly slimmer throughout this time*. The fat elimination process can take as long as 2-3 months before the patient sees their end result*.
With fewer fat cells present, the treated area should look firmer and flatter over time*. Fat cells that have been filtered from the body do not return; therefore, CoolSculpting results are very long lasting*.

CoolSculpting FAQs
Is CoolSculpting intended for permanent fat removal?
CoolSculpting is designed to produce long lasting fat loss results*. Once the fat cells are frozen, they die and are naturally filtered from the body. Once they are gone, those same fat cells cannot return. With that in mind, Dr. Wooten encourages all Pittsburgh patients to maintain their weight after the CoolSculpting treatment through healthy lifestyle habits like diet and exercise.
Is it safe?
Yes, CoolSculpting has been cleared by the FDA for safety. Over 6 million treatments have been performed worldwide and adverse side effects are extremely rare.
How fast is CoolSculpting?
A typical CoolSculpting cycle lasts between 35 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. Depending on the number of cycles you get, this could mean that treatment could be anywhere from an hour total to a full day! Because there are two CoolSculpting machines at Beleza, we can often cut the total treatment time in half.
Do I need multiple treatments?
Although some patients achieve the desired results in a single treatment, most require multiple treatments. Whether you need multiple sessions depends on your area(s) of concern and goals of treatment.
Am I a candidate?
Dr. Wooten would be happy to discuss your candidacy for CoolSculpting during your one-on-one consultation at her facility in Pittsburgh.
Generally speaking, you may be a suitable candidate for CoolSculpting if you have unwanted fat in the abdomen, flanks, back, upper arms, thighs or submental (under the chin) area. You should be at, or close to, your target weight and be free of any autoimmune or chronic health disorders that could compromise the treatment process. Also, you should have reasonable expectations of treatment and desire improvement, not perfection.
