Cool sculpt is the popular term for CoolSculpting, the FDA-cleared cryolipolysis treatment that freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells without surgery. This technology targets areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs where diet and exercise alone fall short. Metro Laser MedSpa in Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, and Exton provides expert CoolSculpting treatments with customized body contouring plans for every patient.
Cool Sculpt: Freezing Fat with CoolSculpting
The non-invasive body contouring treatment that eliminates stubborn fat through controlled cooling — no surgery, no needles, no downtime.
How Cryolipolysis Technology Works
CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis — a patented cooling process that targets and crystallizes fat cells beneath the skin. Once frozen, these cells naturally break down and are eliminated by your body over the following weeks, revealing a slimmer, more contoured silhouette.
What Makes This Treatment Different
Unlike surgical procedures such as liposuction, these treatments require zero incisions and zero recovery time. The CoolSculpting system is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in nine different areas of the body.
During a treatment session, a specialized applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area. You may feel intense cold initially, but the area quickly becomes numb. Most patients read, work on laptops, or even nap during their session.
Cool Sculpt Treatment Areas
- Abdomen and flanks (love handles)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms and bra fat
- Double chin (submental area)
- Back fat and banana roll
Each session lasts 35 to 60 minutes per area. Many patients treat multiple areas in a single visit at our Philadelphia CoolSculpting center.
Benefits of Body Contouring
Non-Invasive
No surgery, no needles, no anesthesia. CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target fat cells without affecting surrounding tissue.
Zero Downtime
Return to work and normal activities immediately after your treatment session. Most treatments take just 35 minutes.
Lasting Results
Treated fat cells are permanently eliminated. Once gone, they cannot regenerate — delivering results that last with a healthy lifestyle.
“I had been struggling with my lower belly for years despite eating clean and working out consistently. After two cool sculpt sessions at Metro Laser, I finally saw the flat contour I had been working toward. The treatment was comfortable and I went right back to the office afterward.”

Cool Sculpt Treatment Session
A gel pad and CoolSculpting applicator are placed on the targeted area. The device draws in tissue using gentle suction and delivers controlled cooling for 35 to 60 minutes.
Post-Treatment Massage
Your provider performs a brief massage on the treated area immediately after the applicator is removed. This technique has been shown to improve fat reduction results by up to 68 percent.
Watch Your Results Develop
Initial changes become visible within three weeks. The most dramatic results appear between one and three months as your body continues flushing the treated fat cells.
Cool Sculpt FAQ
Yes. “Cool sculpt” is the common shorthand people use when referring to CoolSculpting by Allergan. It is the same FDA-cleared cryolipolysis treatment that freezes and eliminates fat cells without surgery.
Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single cool sculpt session. However, some areas may benefit from two or three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal contouring results.
Patients typically experience intense cold and pulling during the first five to ten minutes, followed by numbness. Discomfort is minimal and most people relax, read, or use their phones throughout the session.
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for nine treatment areas including the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, outer thighs, upper arms, bra fat, back fat, banana roll, and submental (double chin) area.
Cool sculpt results are permanent because treated fat cells are destroyed and eliminated from the body. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy eating and regular exercise preserves your improved contour long term.
Absolutely. Many Metro Laser patients combine cool sculpt with skin tightening treatments for enhanced body contouring results. Your provider can recommend the best combination during your consultation.
