CoolSculpting in Houston, TX

CoolSculpting is a unique body contouring procedure that targets and freezes fat cells using cryolipolysis, an advanced cooling technology. Once treated, these cells are then naturally eliminated through the bodys normal elimination processes, so the procedure produces completely natural-looking, gradual results that eliminate fat cells permanently from the treatment area.

CoolSculpting works by delivering extreme cold temperatures to specific body areas to destroy fat cells. Your body then eliminated these cells over several weeks.

CoolSculpting applicators can be applied to almost any area where excess fat exists. The most common areas for CoolSculpting treatment are the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper and lower back, upper arms, and double chin.
