The CoolSculpting Procedure
CoolSculpting is performed in a comfortable treatment room with no anesthesia required.
During the procedure:
- A gel pad protects your skin before applicator placement
- Vacuum suction draws tissue into the applicator cup
- Controlled cooling targets fat cells for 35–60 minutes
- You may read, work, or relax while monitoring continues
After the cycle ends, the applicator is removed and the area is massaged for two minutes to enhance fat cell breakdown.

CoolSculpting Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how technology, anatomy, and aftercare affect CoolSculpting results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
CoolSculpting delivers gradual fat reduction, so changes emerge over several weeks instead of overnight. This pace allows skin to retract naturally and avoids the sudden shifts sometimes seen with surgical removal. Our providers carefully map applicator placement, overlap treatment zones for even coverage, and recommend the ideal number of sessions to complement your natural body lines. Maintaining a stable weight after treatment ensures your new contours remain harmonious with the rest of your figure.
Where Are the Incisions?
CoolSculpting is non-invasive, so no incisions are required and scarring is not a concern.
Is Scarring a Concern?
Because the applicator rests on intact skin, CoolSculpting does not create scars. Temporary redness or bruising may occur but fades quickly.
Skin Recovery Timeline
- Hours after treatment
Redness and firmness obvious - Days 1-3
Most redness fades; mild bruising possible - Weeks 1-2
Normal sensation gradually returns
Gentle massage and adherence to provider instructions support a smooth recovery.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
