CoolSculpting is most effective with an experienced doctor, proper planning, and several sessions to maximize results and reduce the risk of side effects. CoolSculpting has many benefits over traditional liposuction:
You can drive yourself home after your treatments and return to your regular activities right away.
Whether it’s the jiggle of your arm that seems determined to stay or that unsightly muffin top making its presence visibly known in your favorite top, some pockets of fat feel like no amount of diet or exercise can successfully banish them. Until ten years ago, people wishing for that perfect silhouette would have to either spend an insane number of hours on the treadmill or go under the knife. Then, like a genie’s wish, Coolsculpting treatment in Hamilton arrived on the scene and became a gamechanger in the cosmetic correction industry in Canada. Note: CoolSculpting® is not a weight loss solution; however, it’s an effective non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
The staff was wonderful, very caring and helpful. I also felt very safe there during Covid as the staff took extra precautions to make me feel as ease during these times. I really look 10 years younger and feel that way too! Thanks!!!

If you’re bothered by stubborn fat that you can’t get rid of with exercise and diet, you may be a candidate. Although it is ideal for anyone who is within 20 to 30 pounds of their ideal body weight, CoolSculpting may be suitable for anyone out of that range as well. As long as you have stubborn fat that bulges, you may be a candidate. A free consultation with one of our highly qualified medical consultants will help you figure out if this treatment is right for you.
Individuals with cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria may not be suitable candidates.
The area to be treated is placed between two plates, which is held in place by a suctioning device. The plates deliver cooling energy directly to the fat. You may feel the intense cold at first, but you’ll become accustomed to it quickly and no longer feel anything. This takes about five to 10 minutes. More than one area can be treated during your session. Patients often find their sessions so comfortable and relaxing that they fall asleep. If you have work to do, feel free to use your phone, iPad or laptop, because it won’t interfere with your sessions.
After the treatment, you may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for 2 or 3 minutes. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities following their appointment. What to Expect has more information about what happens before, during, and after your CoolSculpting procedure.
All you need is one to three sessions. Of course, this depends on how much fat you’d like to get rid of, and how many areas you’d like to treat. Each session destroys 20% to 25% of the fat cells in an area.
No, you can return to all regular daily activities immediately after your treatment.
You’ll need to wait a few weeks to see results. This is because your body needs time to remove the destroyed fat cells. The earliest you may see results is about three weeks, but ideal results take about one to three months or so to appear.
CoolSculpting isn’t for weight loss. It’s to sculpt the treated area (hence the name) by destroying fat. You won’t see much difference on the scale, but you will see a huge difference in how you look!
There are a few side effects related to the treatment. All are minor and temporary.
• Numbness (can last about a week or so)
• Mild Soreness
• Mild Bruising
Most of the time, however, patients do not experience any side effects at all. In very rare cases, some pain may be felt during and after treatment which can be alleviated with pain medication. One case of frostbite has also been reported, but it went away without problem.
As long as you have bulging fat which is “grab-able”, you can get treated. However, CoolSculpting has achieved such a high rate of satisfaction for patients that after the originally recommended number of sessions have been completed, it is rare for patients to request more.
Because this technology has no effect on any other tissues except fat, the state of your skin will not change in any way. If you have lax skin, you may want to consider a skin tightening treatment.
