If you’ve been dieting and exercising like crazy with no results, you aren’t alone. As early as our late twenties, our muscles start to lose tone, and it gets harder and harder to address stubborn pockets of fat. No matter how hard we try, and how great the rest of our body looks, it can be impossible to get rid of stubborn fat in certain areas. That’s where CoolSculpting comes in. CoolSculpting® technology allows our team of professionals at Advanced Aesthetics in Las Vegas, NV to combat those fatty areas that are so resistant to exercise and diet, potentially helping you to sculpt the body of your dreams without invasive surgical procedures. To find out if this treatment is right for you, contact us today and schedule a consultation!
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that basically freezes away unwanted fat cells. Using controlled cooling, the cells are frozen. Once frozen, they die and are processed and eliminated by your body. It’s a popular non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
Fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than the surrounding tissues in your body. This means that the CoolSculpting® process is able to safely target and freeze fat cells underneath the skin without harming the rest of the body. After a consultation, we can put together a specific treatment plan to help you deal with those problem areas and reshape your body.
There’s no set downtime following a CoolSculpting® procedure. Immediately after the process, you may feel some numbness and soreness, the targeted area may be red, and there may be some tingling and stinging. These side effects are usually short-term and start to go away quickly.
The results vary from patient to patient based on a number of factors. Depending on the areas that you’d like to target and the amount of stubborn fat that you have, we may recommend more than one treatment to get the best results. However, it all depends on the unique situation. In some cases, it can take months for the results to develop fully, but there could be noticeable changes to your shape after just weeks as your body processes and removes the dead cells. The results are designed to be permanent, as there is no way that the fat cells could re-enter your body. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle so as not to expand the remaining fat cells.
Understanding how CoolSculpting compares to other options can help you choose what fat reduction treatment best fits your goals.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure known for delivering dramatic results by physically removing fat cells. However, it involves anesthesia, incisions, downtime, and recovery time with bruising, swelling, and compression garments.
CoolSculpting, in contrast, is noninvasive. It requires no anesthesia or downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately. While results appear gradually over a few months, many find this trade-off worthwhile for the convenience.
Other nonsurgical treatments like Vanquish (radiofrequency) and UltraShape (ultrasound) typically require more sessions and may not match CoolSculpting’s results. Similarly, SculpSure (laser-based) uses heat rather than cold, but many patients prefer CoolSculpting for its comfort and cooling effect, which naturally numbs the area.
CoolSculpting allows for precise fat reduction across multiple areas of the body using applicators designed for various contours and fat distribution patterns. These are the most common treatment areas”
Myth: CoolSculpting is for weight loss.
Fact: It’s a body contouring treatment, not a weight loss solution. It targets stubborn fat pockets that resist diet and exercise. It’s intended to improve your shape, not the number on the scale.
Myth: Results are immediate.
Fact: Fat elimination occurs gradually over weeks to months as your body naturally processes the treated fat cells. Visible results typically appear within 3–4 weeks, with full outcomes at around 3 months.
Myth: CoolSculpting damages skin.
Fact: CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target fat cells without harming skin, nerves, or surrounding tissue. Temporary side effects like redness or numbness are normal and resolve naturally.
Myth: CoolSculpting is painful.
Fact: Most patients describe initial cold and discomfort, which subsides as the area becomes numb. Post-treatment sensations resemble mild soreness or tingling, easily manageable without medication.
Myth: Results look unnatural.
Fact: When performed by appropriately trained professionals, CoolSculpting delivers gradual, balanced fat reduction with natural-looking contours. There are no sharp transitions or over-sculpted areas.
Myth: Fat returns after weight gain.
Fact: Treated fat cells are permanently removed. However, remaining fat cells elsewhere can still expand with significant weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results.
While body contouring treatments have traditionally focused on women, CoolSculpting has proven highly effective for men’s unique aesthetic needs. Male fat distribution, body composition, and goals often differ from those of women, requiring tailored approaches CoolSculpting handles exceptionally well.
Men commonly struggle with stubborn abdominal fat, especially as they age. This “dad bod” typically appears as a firm, protruding belly, even in otherwise fit individuals. CoolSculpting targets this abdominal fat, helping restore a flatter, more defined midsection.
Love handles or “spare tires” are another common male concern. These side and lower back fat deposits often remain despite a healthy lifestyle, making clothes fit poorly around the waist. CoolSculpting’s curved applicators precisely treat these areas.
Gynecomastia (excess chest fat) causes many men to feel self-conscious, especially when shirtless or in fitted clothing. While severe cases may need surgery, mild to moderate chest fat responds well to CoolSculpting, creating a firmer, more masculine contour without downtime.
Unlike women who often seek overall slimming, men usually aim for more defined musculature. CoolSculpting targets the fat layers hiding muscle definition, revealing a stronger, sculpted look.
At Advanced Aesthetics, we understand men’s preferences for privacy and minimal schedule disruption. We offer private rooms, efficient appointments, and no downtime — ideal for busy schedules.

Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however, a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Request a one-on-one consultation with us to determine if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. We will help create a customized treatment plan, in person, that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. We may schedule additional sessions to meet your goals.
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), your body processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment.
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen, and thigh. With over one million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.
During the procedure, you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness, or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask us if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Often times, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting session is over.
You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.
No supplements or pills are required, and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew again by taking even better care of themselves.
Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated
