What is CoolSculpting and how does cryolipolysis work?
CoolSculpting is the world's #1 non-surgical fat reduction treatment, using precisely controlled cooling to freeze and permanently eliminate stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise.
The science behind CoolSculpting is called cryolipolysis. Fat cells are biologically vulnerable to cold at temperatures that leave surrounding skin and tissue unharmed. When the CoolSculpting applicator is placed on the treatment area, it draws the tissue in and delivers controlled cooling that crystallizes fat cells. Over the following weeks and months, your body naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells through the lymphatic system, reducing fat in the treated area by up to 20–25%.
Unlike surgical options like liposuction, CoolSculpting requires no incisions, no anesthesia, and no recovery time. Most patients read, work on a laptop, or even nap during treatment. Results are permanent, once fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate.

Who is an ideal candidate?
CoolSculpting is designed for adults who are at or near their goal weight with specific, pinchable pockets of stubborn fat. It is not a weight loss solution, but rather a body contouring treatment. If you have areas of localized fat that don't respond to diet or exercise, CoolSculpting may be an excellent option, for both men and women.
Where can CoolSculpting be used?
CoolSculpting uses different applicator sizes for different body areas, each precisely engineered to treat that specific fat pocket.
Abdomen & Love Handles
The abdomen is the most commonly treated CoolSculpting area. Both upper and lower abdomen can be treated, and the flanks (love handles) can be addressed in the same session with simultaneous applicators, significantly reducing total treatment time. Ideal for that persistent belly fat that resists core workouts and caloric restriction.
Typical reduction: 20–25% · 1–2 sessions per area
Chin, Jowls & Neck
The CoolMini applicator was specifically designed for smaller, harder-to-reach areas like the submental zone (under the chin) and the jowl area. It delivers the same cryolipolysis technology in a compact form that conforms to the curved anatomy of the lower face and neck. Results in this area are particularly striking, reducing the appearance of a double chin and softening jowl definition without any injections or surgery.

CoolSculpting for Men
CoolSculpting is one of the most popular body contouring treatments among men, and for good reason. Men tend to accumulate fat in the abdomen and flanks, and often prefer the non-surgical, no-downtime approach versus invasive procedures. The treatment is equally effective in male patients, with the same permanent fat reduction results. The under-chin CoolMini is also popular with men who want a sharper jawline without surgery.

Arms & Bra Area
Stubborn fat on the upper arms and the area around the bra strap responds well to CoolSculpting. These areas are notoriously difficult to address through exercise alone. Specific applicators designed for these areas deliver consistent, controlled cooling to reduce localized fat deposits and improve overall upper body contour.

Thighs & Banana Roll
Inner and outer thighs are both FDA-cleared CoolSculpting areas. The inner thigh is one of the most requested areas for women, where fat deposits can cause discomfort or resist even intensive exercise. The banana roll, the area just beneath the buttocks, can also be treated to improve lower body contour and the overall appearance of the posterior silhouette.

Multiple Areas, One Visit
One of the advantages of modern CoolSculpting is DualSculpting, using two machines simultaneously to treat multiple areas in a single appointment. This cuts treatment time in half and is ideal for patients who want to address both the abdomen and flanks, or both inner thighs, in one visit. Your specialist will create a personalized treatment plan targeting your specific concerns.

CoolSculpting a short drive from Tampa
Our office at 1767 S. Kings Ave. in Brandon is about a 20-minute drive from downtown and South Tampa via the Selmon Expressway and I-75, and closer still for patients in Riverview, Valrico, and Seffner. Free, easy parking, and no downtown traffic.
Tampa patients make the trip because results depend on applicator choice and placement, which is a clinical decision, not a template. We map your treatment areas in person and tell you honestly when CoolSculpting is not the right answer.
