Coolsculpting
WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING?
CoolSculpting uses a fat-freezing technology called Cryolipolysis to target problem areas without damaging the surrounding tissue structures. Your body’s lymphatic system then processes and eliminates the frozen fat cells over the course of 4 to 12 weeks, with no downtime or scarring. The result is a smoother, more attractive body contour.
The entire Coolsculpting treatment in Cedar Knolls is non-invasive and painless, with no needles or incisions required.
The benefits of CoolSculpting:
- Non-invasive
- FDA-cleared
- Painless and safe
- No anesthesia
- No downtime
- Proven track record
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR COOLSCULPTING?
The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for a CoolSculpting treatment is to schedule a personal consultation with The Luxx MedSpa medical staff to discuss your goals for the treatment. In general, however, an ideal CoolSculpting candidate is someone who:
- Is healthy
- Is within 30 pounds of their ideal weight
- Has fat bulges despite healthy diet and exercise habits
- Is not pregnant
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A COOLSCULPTING SESSION?
A vacuum-like applicator is applied to the skin surface of the targeted area and gently draws the skin between the applicator’s two cooling panels. The fat cells in that area are then frozen and will be eliminated by the body naturally over time. The treatment is painless, and most patients report feeling only a slight tugging and a cooling sensation.
Because there is no discomfort, patients are relaxed enough to perform everyday activities during their sessions, such as checking their email or reading. We also provide our patients the option of watching TV or a movie during treatment.

CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells by essentially freezing them to death. Scientifically known as cryolipolysis (“cryo” meaning cold, “lipo” meaning fat, and “lysis” meaning cell death,) CoolSculpting subjects stubborn fat bulges to precisely controlled cooling, which freezes subcutaneous fat cells without harming the overlying skin or surrounding tissue.¹ Once fat cells are frozen, they undergo the natural process of cell death and elimination known as apoptosis. During apoptosis, the lymphatic system gathers up the damaged fat cells from the treatment area and processes them out of the body.² once fat cells are excreted as waste, they cannot grow back, leading to long-lasting fat reduction.³
COOLSCULPTING BEFORE AND AFTER
For those wanting proof that fat freezing works, look no further than CoolSculpting before and after pictures. As with any cosmetic procedure, results may vary. However, the individuals highlighted in these CoolSculpting before and after pictures are real patients and demonstrate a dramatically slimmer, more contoured physique following actual CoolSculpting treatments.*
