After the procedure, your body continues to break down the treated (frozen) fat cells, leading to a natural cell death. As the fat cells die, they collapse, and the natural inflammatory process removes the dead cells through the lymphatic system over the next 4 weeks to 4 months. That leaves you with long-lasting results with no surgery, no needles, and no downtime. Untreated areas will have no change in fat cell distribution. Once the fat cell is killed, it cannot return.
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared, non-surgical, no needles and totally non-invasive. There is little to no downtime and you can get back to daily activities right away. There are 100s of peer-reviewed papers written on CoolSculpting® and it is the world’s #1 non-invasive fat-reduction technology. As of 2019, the procedure has been done more than 8 million times and continues to gain momentum as it is safe, effective and allows individuals to contour, shape and sculpt their body in ways that diet and exercise have failed to do.
The prices/promos/coupons/etc. are all basically the same between practices and that’s a good thing. CoolSculpting® is a medical procedure and Allergan (the parent company to CoolSculpting®) has done a great job protecting the integrity of the treatment. Therefore, practices cannot go into price wars with one another and dilute the products value. The results are permanent and it’s a medical procedure. This allows the customer/patient to instead “shop around” to find the best Specialist for them based on credentials, experience, qualifications with the technology. Executing the procedure is an art and it is important that the Specialist is educated, trained and experienced. It’s not actually required that specialists are properly trained prior to providing treatments to patients. It’s no different then going to get plastic surgery, be sure to do your research, ask to see their “before and after photos” (not corporate’s photos,) make sure they are certified and graduates of CoolSculpting® University, and ideally have obtained the Master Specialists degree. Pick your practice and specialist based off of those requirements because the price is basically the same everywhere and even though we want to get the best price, it is your body, the results are permanent and you also want the best treatment for the best results!!
Many people can go for extended periods of their life with a relatively stable body fat percentage, despite having had a pretty carefree approach to dieting. Some people, on the other hand, struggle to maintain what most consider an average size. This is because everyone is endowed with a genetic “set point” body fat percentage that their bodies will strive to stay at, despite their greatest efforts. Daily exercise, counting calories, incorporating a healthy diet all bring great results for fat loss, up to your individual set point. However, there are areas where fat will accumulate and simply refuse to be negotiated with because of markers present in our DNA. With CoolSculpting, you can take even greater control over your life and be the real owner of your body by targeting stubborn pockets of fat and clearing away the excess fat cells for good.
The experts EMBODYMENT get asked by all walks of life if CoolSculpting® is right for them and this includes already fit individuals. We live in one of the most active states in the country and we get many athletic individuals, (crossfit athletes, runners, yoga-goers, weekend warriors, etc.,) who just want to do their activities without their shirt on and feel good about it!
They put in the time and effort of eating well, working out hard, and sometimes even they still can’t get rid of that little bit of stubborn fat and truth is, they probably never will with diet and exercise alone. This is were CoolSculptingv comes in. Some of its functions are “Spot Reduction,” sculpting, contouring, in turn – making a fit person look fitter and feel more confident for any occasion. Let CoolSculpting® do what diet and exercise won’t do. We encourage you to workout and eat right to feel good, but not to try to get rid of stubborn fat…that’s what the Experts at EMBODYMENT are for… but as always, come in for a consultation so our Master Specialist can assess you and provide you with the specific outcomes you can expect for your body. Please refer to our before and after photos for examples of all body types.
Preparation for treatment day:
First, the applicator will be placed on the desired treatment area and there will be a slight sucking sensation as it adheres to your body, followed by that signature cooling effect. 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 are mild and subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity. Once again, these symptoms are mild and subside quickly.
After the applicator is detached, your provider will do a brief massage on the treated area to break up the fat cells and further enhance fat reduction. That’s it!
Swelling is normal as is redness, soreness and bruising in the treatment area. These symptoms can last for several weeks.
Immediately after the procedure, your treated area may look or feel stiff and transient blanching (temporary whitening of the skin) may occur.
You may feel a sense of nausea or dizziness as your body naturally warms and sensation returns to your treatment area. These are normal reactions that typically resolve within minutes.
The treated area may be red for up to a few hours after the applicator is removed. This is an expected but temporary effect after CoolSculpting.
Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur in the treated area. This typically resolves within a week or two.
Nausea and tingling, stinging and cramping in the treatment area are often reported on treatment day.
You may feel a temporary dulling of sensation in the treated area. This is normal and typically resolves within a few hours but may last for several weeks after your procedure.
The typical recovery time is minimal post CoolSculpting. Most patients are able to return to their daily routine immediately after the procedure.
OPTIONS TO ASSIST IN THE RECOVERY PROCESS & RESULTS:
Arnica (tablets that dissolve under the tongue) can help with bruising.
Epsom salt bath the night of treatment or the next day.
Stay hydrated for the next few months to aid in flushing the dead cells out of the body!
Foam rolling over the treated area, stretching, yoga, steam room, massage, etc.
Any kind of physical activity that will induce circulation, sweating.
WHAT TO EXPECT THE FIRST FEW DAYS AND WEEKS AFTER COOLSCULPTING:
When showering and applying lotion to the treated area, continue to massage through the area.
It is common for the treated area to feel bloated and look swollen in the first few days and weeks post treatment.
You may experience a temporary dulling of sensation that can last for several weeks.
At some point within the first two weeks following the procedure, you may experience one or more of the following sensations: deep itching, tingling, numbness, tenderness to the touch, pain in the treated area, strong cramping, diarrhea, muscle spasms, aching and/or soreness. Consult your doctor if these conditions persist beyond two weeks or worsen over time.
Following the procedure, a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer will take place. You may start to see changes as early as three weeks after CoolSculpting and you will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body will continue naturally to process the injured fat cells from your body for approximately four months after your procedure.
A small subset of patients experience delayed post-treatment pain (typically within a few days of the procedure). This side effect is unique because of it’s intensity and late presentation. Timely intervention can often reduce its impact.
Contact us & your doctor immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.
NEXT STEPS:
Weight gain will prevent you from appreciating your full results. A healthy diet and exercise routine will support what you achieve through CoolSculpting.

No one likes “Cancellation Policies,” including us but when you are treated at EMBODYMENT, the entire day or more than ample time is blocked out for each patient. CoolSculpting® is an investment and we never want to rush a treatment or want a patient to feel like they are receiving less than 110% of our attention. Therefore, when a patient cancels it can leave us not being able to serve anyone on that day.
We do have a Cancellation Policy form in place that is signed on the day of treatment but in order to avoid any confusion prior to a first treatment, we’ve listed the policies here:
One of the special things about EMBODYMENT, is that we’ve Always Only treated one patient at a time. We block out the entire day or more than ample time is allotted for each patient. CoolSculpting® is an investment and we never want to rush a treatment or want a patient to feel like they aren’t receiving 110% of our attention. So when COVID occurred, not a lot changed for us. We can perform all treatments with the patient wearing a mask. We’ve Always deeply sanitized the treatment room between patients. Now, of course, we follow all CDC.gov guidelines.
We wear masks, face shields, gloves, take temperatures, socially distance unless partaking in the assessment or treatment, only one guest is in the office at a time, no additional guests are allowed to accompany the scheduled guest, we’ve always been by appointment only, and thoroughly sanitize between every treatment and consultation.
“EMBODYMENT is the absolute best. They make this process more than comfortable, and always had my best interest in mind. They took their time in making sure that every single step was perfect, and have a great eye for beauty and aesthetic. I am so happy with my experience here, it’s changed my life. After my first consultation I left feeling valued and beautiful, but even more so after my treatment. I recommend Embodyment Coolsculpting® to any and everyone!”
LeighAnn is AMAZING! I did my research, watched all the videos available and came in with realistic expectations ... they were SURPASSED! I love my results and I could see and feel them within a couple of weeks. This is what I was hoping for and it made me feel so much better about myself. LeighAnn is kind and knowledgeable and honest about everything. On my last visit there was no need for her to try and sell me on something else - I was the one who asked about an additional procedure, I WANTED to give her more of my business. CoolSculpting was perfect for me because of some issues/hassle I have with blood-thinners - this was the perfect solution! I bruised (as expected), but I didn't have to worry about incisions or altering medications or recovery time, etc. I was back at work and feeling fine the next day! I'm doing a second area and I can't wait for my clothes to fit even better!
“I cannot recommend EMBODYMENT enough! From my initial consultation through the completion of my procedure, they prioritized my comfort. Weight loss can be a heavily sensitive subject, but EMBODYMENT had a way of making me feel beautiful in my skin, while validating my feelings for what I want out of CoolSculpting® to help me look and feel my best. They were detail-oriented and took the time to ensure that everything was done right to optimize my results. They are clearly masters in their craft, with extensive knowledge and experience. I trusted EMBODYMENT completely throughout the process and would recommended their skill to anyone considering CoolSculpting®!”
“I’m blown away by the incredible results that I have personally experienced with the Master Coolsculpting® specialist at EMBODYMENT. I’ve never had any type of cosmetic procedure before and was nervous to to do a treatment. I chose EMBODYMENT because I felt comfortable and confident with their extensive credentials and experience with Coolsculpting®. Now that I have treated my abdomen and “love-handles” and have already seen incredible results (dropped a full pant size), I’m a customer and believer for life. I can’t wait to treat other problem areas.”
“I had a wonderful experience at EMBODYMENT. To be honest I went to other places to check out the process, and I walked away from three of them completely convinced I would not trust them with my health and well-being. When I arrived they were courteous, kind, and took the time to answer all of my questions. They are extremely professional and willing to work with me through the fears I developed from the other consultations. In reality, there was no reason for the fears because they came from misinformation. The process was actually straightforward, and expedient. They always went above and beyond to ensure my comfort while treating me, of course the results exceeded my expectations. I looked forward to working with EMBODYMENT, and the choice was absolutely superior to the fancy multiple-staffed high end facilities that claimed to be “spas” but were evasive or uninformed about the process. They are experts you can trust, and they have the highest standards for your safety and comfort.”
“Great results! As soon as I turned 50 I started seeing areas of stubborn fat on my body that would not go away. I’ve never had that problem before so I was very discouraged. EMBODYMEN treated the areas around my torso that were particularly troubling. Now, three months later, the fatty areas that looked lumpy and took away from my hourglass figure are back to my pre-50’s normal. Would definitely recommend.”
Incredible experience! Embodyment exceeded my expectations, offering exceptional care and delivering outstanding results.
Consistent excellence and dedication. Embodyment sets the standard for quality and personalized service.
Dependable and professional. I wholeheartedly endorse their top-tier services for all clients.
