CoolSculpting | Fat Reduction at SageMED

During the first few minutes of treatment, you may experience a cold, tingling, or pulling sensation. This feeling usually fades as the treatment area becomes numb. Many patients relax, watch videos, read, or even nap during the session, as the procedure is comfortable and non-invasive.

Each CoolSculpting session reduces approximately 20% of fat in the treated area. For enhanced results, additional sessions can further decrease fat by another 20% per treatment. Your SageMED provider will guide you on the ideal number of treatments to meet your goals.

The cost of CoolSculpting® varies based on the area being treated and the number of sessions required. To get an accurate quote, we recommend booking a free consultation at our Bellevue clinic, where we’ll create a personalized plan for you.

You may start noticing changes within 3-4 weeks of your treatment, with the most dramatic results appearing by the second or third month. Your body will continue flushing out fat cells for up to six months after your last session, gradually revealing a more toned appearance.

CoolSculpting® is a safe, FDA-cleared procedure, but like any treatment, it can cause minor side effects. These include temporary redness, swelling, numbness, or tingling at the treatment site. Most symptoms resolve within a few hours to a few days after the session.

Some patients see results after just one session, but others may benefit from two to three treatments per area to achieve their desired outcome. During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your body’s needs and create a customized treatment plan just for you.

While CoolSculpting® permanently eliminates treated fat cells, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced eating and regular exercise helps preserve your results for the long term.

The treated fat cells are frozen, destroyed, and gradually eliminated by your body’s natural processes over several months. Once these cells are gone, they’re gone for good—leaving you with a slimmer, more sculpted physique.

CoolSculpting® is effective on multiple areas of the body, including:

• Stomach and Abdomen

• Love Handles (Flanks)

• Thighs and Buttocks (Banana Roll)

• Back and Bra Roll

• Chin and Jawline

• Arms

If you have other problem areas not listed here, schedule a consultation with one of our providers, and we’ll determine how CoolSculpting® can help you achieve your goals.

CoolSculpting® offers permanent fat reduction because the treated fat cells are eliminated from your body for good. Maintaining your results depends on living a healthy lifestyle, as untreated fat cells can still expand with weight gain.

CoolSculpting® is designed to be comfortable and pain-free. While some patients feel mild cold or tingling during the first few minutes, these sensations fade as the area numbs. No anesthesia or recovery time is required, and you can return to your daily activities right after treatment.
