How Does CoolSculpting in Sugar Land Work?
Coolsculpting permanently removes fat from areas resistant to diet and exercise. Typically, it takes only one treatment to see up to a 30% reduction in the fat layer. And it doesn’t require anesthesia, surgery, or downtime, and the results improve over two to three months.
For the treatment, Dr. Shel positions the applicator at the site and leaves it there for 30 minutes to an hour. We have multiple applicators, each ideal for different treatment sites.
This fat-reducer works by freezing unwanted fat cells, which then crystallize and are naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. You see, fat cells either die from high temperatures or low temperatures.
Though you’ll notice some results shortly after the treatment, the final outcome is realized two to three months afterward. That’s because once you receive treatment, you need to wait for apoptosis (cell death), which can take some time.
Is CoolSculpting Right for Me?
Ideal candidates have areas of fat that won’t improve with diet and exercise and are healthy patients seeking a non-invasive treatment to resolve these areas. Some people are better candidates than others, such as those with the following:
- Are Unhappy With Stubborn Fat: If that unwanted fat isn’t going anywhere no matter what you do, getting a little help from some freezing temperatures might be the answer.
- Have Enough Fat: For us to position the applicator, you need enough fat to treat. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to pinch an inch to qualify.
- Are Near Your Target Weight: For you to receive noticeable results, and the ones you want, you’ll need to be near your target weight. Fortunately, if you’re struggling, we offer medical weight loss and can help you get there before you receive CoolSculpting.
- Don’t Want Surgery: Liposuction is an invasive procedure that can help you remove body fat in a specific area, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for something non-surgical, this might be the answer.
- Weren’t Recently Pregnant: To allow your body time to bounce back hormonally and physically, you should wait a bit after you have a baby to receive the treatment. Even your skin elasticity changes during pregnancy, which can lead to less effective results. We also don’t recommend the treatment if you’re pregnant because not many studies have been conducted on expecting mothers.
Stop settling for unwanted body fat with CoolSculpting; a quick and easy approach to get rid of it.
What to Expect With CoolSculpting
Before and After Photos
Before receiving CoolSculpting in Sugar Land from Dr. Shel, you may have questions or wonder what to expect. It’s a relatively simple procedure that can finally help you achieve the body you thought you couldn’t obtain.
When you first arrive, you’ll have your consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals and desires.
We may need to have you lose weight before receiving the treatment, which our Dr. Shel can help with, or you can take matters into your own hands if you choose. We’ll also educate you on the results you can expect to ensure we’re on the same page.
We’ll assess your health as well to ensure the treatment is safe for you. Though it causes minimal side effects, we generally recommend you’re in overall good health.
This is also a prime time to ask any questions you have, especially ones specific to your care.
During the treatment, our practitioner will evaluate the area and decide on the applicator that is suitable for you. We have six to select from, ranging from a mini, ideal for small areas, to a flat applicator, best suited for areas like the inner thighs.
Once we map out your treatment plan, Dr. Shel will place the applicator in the area. Now is the waiting process. Depending on the location and amount of fat, this may take 30 minutes to an hour.
The treatment is relatively comfortable, though you may feel a bit of a chill at first. The initial cold feeling will turn to numbness after a couple of minutes. Depending on the applicator, you may feel mild pinching, pulling, or tugging as the applicator is suctioning the area.
Once your treatment is complete, you can immediately return to normal activities because there’s no downtime and nothing to recover from. Most people tolerate the treatment well; however, temporary, minor side effects are possible, such as:
- Irritation
- Pain
- Bloating
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Stinging
- Increased urination (from the excess water and the body carrying away the fat cells)

Common Questions About CoolSculpting
Yes! CoolSculpting harnesses the cold’s ability to cause fat cell death and relies on your body’s natural ability to excrete those cells. Results vary, though. On a positive note, it does have a high success rate.
The results from CoolSculpting from Dr. Shel will last indefinitely. The fat cells die in the process and won’t come back. The cells may return, though, if you gain weight.
The treatment causes few side effects, with most being mild. These include pain, swelling, and bloating.
On average, one session can lead to a 30 percent reduction in the treatment area. And for some areas and those with only a minor issue, one treatment could be enough and worth it.
Your skin could tighten as you lose weight; however, the treatment itself will not tighten the skin.
CoolSculpting isn’t intended as a weight loss solution, rather it’s a way to reduce fat in a specific area. However, patients tend to lose five to 10 pounds in the treatment area.
