CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® offers a non-surgical approach to body contouring for patients looking to refine specific areas of concern without downtime. Designed for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn fat, this treatment is a popular option for enhancing natural contours and achieving subtle, confidence-boosting changes. At Beaty Facial Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, CoolSculpting® treatments are personalized and performed by an experienced team, including our dedicated CoolSculpting® specialist, Shawndelle, to help patients get the most out of their results
What Is CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that freezes, crystallizes, and eliminates stubborn fat. Unlike other fat reduction techniques that can damage surrounding tissue, CoolSculpting® naturally destroys fat cells beneath the skin while leaving healthy skin and muscle tissue unharmed. This FDA-cleared cooling technology is designed to safely target areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
Fat cells are more susceptible to cold than muscle or skin. CoolSculpting® targets fat cells and cools them, which in exchange will cause these cells to shrink and die. CoolSculpting® leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected. Over time, your body will naturally metabolize the dead fat cells. The fat layer condenses, leaving you with a slimmer figure.
What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® offers a number of advantages for patients looking to refine their contours without surgery, including:
- Anesthesia is not necessary
- No needles or incisions
- No downtime
- Spot reduction of fat from trouble areas
- 25-30% of fat cells are permanently destroyed from treated areas

After What Does the CoolSculpting® Procedure Involve?
Your CoolSculpting® journey begins with a complimentary consultation at Beaty Facial Plastic Surgery and MedSpa. During this visit, Shawndelle, our CoolSculpting® specialist, performs a comprehensive 360-degree evaluation and works with you to design a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and areas of concern.
On the day of your procedure, gel pads are applied to protect the skin and enhance comfort. The CoolSculpting® Elite applicators are then positioned over the targeted areas to deliver controlled cooling to the underlying fat cells. CoolSculpting® Elite allows for the treatment of two areas at the same time, helping improve efficiency while maintaining the same proven fat-freezing technology.
Is CoolSculpting® Painful?
Most patients describe a pulling, tugging, or pressure sensation at the beginning of treatment. After several minutes, the area typically becomes numb. Following the procedure, temporary soreness, tenderness, or mild irritation may occur, but these effects usually resolve within a few days.
What Is the Recovery Like After CoolSculpting®?
CoolSculpting® requires little to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area is common and temporary. Any post-treatment discomfort is generally short-lived and does not interfere with daily routines.
When Will I See My CoolSculpting® Results?
After your CoolSculpting® treatment, you may begin to see noticeable results in as little as 3–4 weeks. Results continue to improve over the next 2–3 months as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells. You should see your trouble spots becoming slimmer and sculpted. Although one visit is sufficient to produce excellent results, additional appointments can optimize the results and allow for even further fat reduction.
“I am a new patient who underwent Coolsculpting at the Alpharetta location. From the moment I entered the office, I was warmly welcomed and immediately felt at ease. The complete and genuine care I received, as well as the follow up, nutritional counseling and results, have made me a fan and patient for life. This is a special group of providers and I am very grateful to have found Dr. Laura Beaty and her team.”
Is CoolSculpting® Permanent?
Fat cells that have been destroyed by a CoolSculpting® treatment will be disposed of. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular exercise is essential for preserving your results. As long as your weight remains stable, your CoolSculpting® results can be long-lasting.
Complementary Procedures to CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® delivers its best results as part of a comprehensive approach to body contouring and wellness. For patients who want to optimize their overall results, Dr. Laura Beaty’s medically managed weight loss programs and InBody® body composition assessments can help maintain and enhance your outcome long-term. Skin tightening treatments such as Ultherapy® or Morpheus8® can also complement CoolSculpting® by improving skin laxity in treated areas.
For patients looking to go beyond fat reduction, pairing CoolSculpting® with CoolTone® is a powerful next step. While CoolSculpting® eliminates stubborn fat, CoolTone® uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate and strengthen the underlying muscle, improving definition and tone in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Together, the two treatments offer a comprehensive non-surgical body transformation with results visible in as little as three months.
