Non-Surgical CoolSculpting® Body Contouring

Finally Target Those Stubborn Areas That Diet and Exercise Can’t Touch
We hear it all the time: “I work out regularly, I eat well, but these areas just won’t budge.” You’re not alone in this frustration. At Fix Med Spa, we understand how disheartening it can be when certain fat pockets seem immune to your best efforts, no matter how dedicated you are to your fitness routine.
That’s where CoolSculpting® comes in. This FDA-cleared treatment offers a safe, non-surgical way to reduce those persistent fat areas that have been bothering you. What makes it special? It’s the only treatment that can permanently eliminate fat cells from your body without surgery, needles, or downtime.
Many of our patients are initially skeptical - “freezing fat sounds too good to be true” - but they’re amazed by the science behind it and, more importantly, by their results.
How It Actually Works (It’s Pretty Amazing)
The concept is simpler than you might think: fat cells are more sensitive to cold than your surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting® uses precise cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells in specific areas, causing them to crystallize and naturally break down.
Here’s what happens in your body after treatment: over the next few months, your lymphatic system naturally processes and eliminates these damaged fat cells. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good - these particular cells can never come back.
What we love about this process is that it only affects fat cells. Your skin, muscles, nerves, and other tissues remain completely unharmed because they’re more resistant to cold temperatures.
Areas We Can Transform
We can help you address those frustrating spots, including:
- Belly fat - both upper and lower abdomen
- Love handles - those side areas that clothing highlights
- Double chin - for a more defined jawline
- Outer thighs - often called “saddlebags”
- Upper arms - the area many people feel self-conscious about
- Bra line fat - both front and back areas
- Under the buttocks - for better contour in fitted clothing
What Your Treatment Experience Looks Like
Your Initial Consultation
We’ll start by understanding your goals and examining the areas that concern you most. Our medical team will create a personalized treatment plan and answer all your questions - including the ones you might feel embarrassed to ask. We want you to feel completely comfortable and informed before moving forward.
During Your CoolSculpting Session
Here’s what actually happens: we’ll position a specialized applicator on your treatment area, and you’ll initially feel intense cold for the first few minutes. Don’t worry - this sensation quickly subsides as the area becomes numb, and most patients find themselves relaxing, reading, or even taking a nap during the remainder of their session.
Treatment times vary by area: smaller zones like the double chin take about 35 minutes, while larger areas like the abdomen might take 60-75 minutes per section. You can bring your phone, tablet, or a good book - many patients use this as their personal “me time.”
The Recovery Reality
One of the biggest advantages? There’s virtually no recovery time needed. You might experience some temporary numbness, mild swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, but you can return to your normal activities immediately. Some patients even schedule their appointments during lunch breaks.
Your Results Timeline (Patience Pays Off)
We always tell our patients that CoolSculpting® requires patience - this isn’t an instant transformation, but rather a gradual, natural-looking improvement:
- Weeks 1-3: Your body begins processing the treated fat cells (you might not see changes yet, but the work is happening)
- Weeks 4-8: You’ll start noticing your clothes fitting differently in treated areas
- Months 2-4: This is when most patients see their most dramatic results
- Months 4-6: Your final results emerge as your body completes the natural elimination process
The best part? These results are permanent. The eliminated fat cells can’t regenerate, so as long as you maintain your current weight, your improved contours will last.
Is CoolSculpting Right for You?
This treatment works best for patients who are already close to their goal weight but have specific areas they’d like to refine. It’s perfect if you:
- Exercise regularly but have stubborn areas that don’t respond to your efforts
- Want body contouring without surgery - no incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time
- Are looking for spot reduction rather than overall weight loss
- Have realistic expectations about gradual, natural-looking results
- Can maintain stable weight with healthy lifestyle habits
CoolSculpting® isn’t a weight-loss solution - it’s a body contouring treatment that helps you achieve the shape you’ve been working toward.
