We all suffer from it – stubborn fat that we just can’t seem to be free from. You feel like you exercise and try all of the fad diets, but you still have excess fat on your midsection, thighs, flanks, or neck. In the past, the only option to remedy this problem was liposuction.
While liposuction is highly effective, it requires anesthesia, invasive surgery, and a lot of downtime. At the Bougainvillea Clinique, CoolSculpting specialists, Ariane Costello and Roshani Patel, are pleased to offer the latest in fat removal treatments – CoolSculpting®. CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared and doesn’t require any invasive surgery, anesthesia or downtime.

What is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting is a procedure that allows our plastic surgeon to safely and effectively help your body naturally remove fat. The CoolSculpting device is placed upon your desired treatment areas and applies cooling technology that effectively freezes your fat cells. Then, over the next few weeks, your body naturally sheds the fat cells leaving you beautiful and slim.
GalleryCoolSculpting® Before & After Photos
The results of CoolSculpting® usually show up within 6-12 weeks* and patients experience a dramatic decrease in fat in their treated areas. If you believe that you want to lose even more fat, you can schedule additional sessions. Our CoolSculpting specialists, Ariane Costello and Roshani Patel, will help you create a personalized plan for your treatment in order to maximize results. Also, since CoolSculpting® is completely non-surgical, you will typically be able to return to your normal activities immediately.
Who is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®?
The non-invasive CoolSculpting® procedure may be just right for you if you have pinchable fat that you would like to spot reduce. Pinchable fat is the kind of fat that sits above the muscle, where we can target it with freezing temperatures. CoolSculpting® does not destroy visceral fat. This abdominal fat lies beneath the muscle and can only be reduced with a healthy lifestyle. CoolSculpting® is also not a weight loss technique. To get the best aesthetic results from this treatment, you should be near your ideal body weight with a BMI of 30 or lower. The procedure does not have an effect on the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to have good skin elasticity that will enable your skin to smooth with less volume filling it out. Finally, it is necessary to have realistic expectations of the CoolSculpting® procedure. When you visit us, your provider will discuss their expected outcome based on your current physical characteristics at the time of your treatment.
You may be a great CoolSculpting® candidate if you:
- Have pinchable subcutaneous fat you want to spot reduce,
- Are at or near your ideal body weight for your height,
- Have good tissue elasticity, and
- Have realistic expectations for your treatment.
The CoolSculpting® technology that we use can treat a wide variety of areas. These include the:
- Abdomen
- Flanks, aks love handles
- Muffin top
- Inner and outer thighs
- “Banana roll” fat underneath the buttocks
- Excess fat underneath the chin

FAQFrequently Asked Questions
Is CoolSculpting® Painful?
The CoolSculpting® technology has improved over time to enhance the treatment experience. Your treatment sessions should not be painful at all. You can expect a tugging sensation to occur when your provider applies the applicator to the area of focus. As fatty tissue is cooled, you might feel tingling and aching or cramping. These sensations typically go away very quickly. By 10 minutes into your treatment, the target area should be completely numb. As your nerves “come back to life,” those aching or cramping sensations may return. This should be mild enough not to interfere with your normal activities. You may even want to exercise soon after your treatment!
Is CoolSculpting® Safe?
CoolSculpting® technology is FDA-cleared for cosmetic, non-surgical body contouring. The procedure is non-invasive and carefully monitored to ensure the safety of the skin. Aside from a very slight risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (less than 1%), CoolSculpting® generally incurs subtle, temporary side effects.
Do I Need Time to Recover after CoolSculpting®?
You can expect to quickly return to your normal activities after your CoolSculpting® sessions without discomfort or noticeable side effects.
When Will I See Results From CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® works by triggering natural fat cell death and elimination. It can take several weeks to realize the final outcome of your program. However, you might begin to visualize slimming and contouring effects after just two or three weeks. Although not a requirement of treatment, an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits can help accelerate and optimize your results.
