CoolSculpting® in Montclair
If you have stubborn fat deposits that stick around despite dieting and exercise, then CoolSculpting may be a good option for you.
This innovative technique freezes away unwanted fat while leaving neighboring tissues unharmed. New Jersey Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer CoolSculpting to the residents in and around Bloomfield, Essex County, Morristown and the surrounding communities. We strive to deliver the best CoolSculpting New Jersey has to offer.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits using controlled cooling technology.
The treatment works by safely freezing fat cells beneath the skin without harming surrounding tissues. Once the fat cells are frozen, they undergo a natural process called apoptosis (cell death). Over the following weeks, the body gradually eliminates these damaged fat cells. This process results in long-term reduction of unwanted fat in treated areas, leaving behind a more pleasing contour. Because the treatment is non-invasive, patients can return to normal activities immediately after their session.
CoolSculpting's Fat Freezing Technology
IdCoolSculpting is based on a scientific principle called cryolipolysis, discovered by Harvard researchers who observed that fat cells respond differently to cold than other tissues.
Fat solidifies at higher temperatures than water, meaning fat cells can be frozen without damaging skin, muscle, or nerves. This insight led to the development of FDA-approved CoolSculpting devices that use cooling panels and controlled vacuum pressure to precisely target fat. Over the years, CoolSculpting has become one of the most widely studied non-invasive fat reduction technologies, with millions of treatments performed worldwide.
CoolSculpting is intended for patients with localized pockets of stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s not a treatment for obesity, but it can refine contours in specific areas.
Smooths bulges in the stomach that persist after weight loss or pregnancy.
Reduces fat at the waistline for a more defined silhouette.
Treats both inner and outer thighs to improve balance and proportion.
Targets hanging fat that can create a “batwing” appearance.
Reduces submental fat (“double chin”) for a sharper jawline.
Treats localized fat around the upper back and bra strap region.
CoolSculpting offers a proven way to reduce unwanted fat without downtime or surgery. Benefits include:
The Best Candidates for CoolSculpting
Ideal candidates have unwanted fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, such as conspicuous bulges under the chin or in other areas. Individuals should also be in good general health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the CoolSculpting procedure.
During a CoolSculpting session, a specialized applicator is placed over the treatment area. The applicator uses gentle vacuum pressure to draw tissue into the device, where controlled cold temperatures are applied to selectively freeze fat cells. The unwanted fat cells are destroyed by the freezing action, stimulating the body’s own healing processes to remove the dead fat cells gradually over the next several weeks. Patients typically feel an initial cooling sensation, along with tugging or pressure, which fades as the area becomes numb. Each cycle lasts about 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the targeted site. Multiple sessions may be scheduled to achieve optimal results. Because the surrounding skin, muscles, and nerves are unaffected, treatment is safe, precise, and repeatable across different areas of the body.
During your consultation we will explain the CoolSculpting method, answer any questions you may have and customize your CoolSculpting treatment for your aesthetic desires. Depending on the extent of your treatment goals, more than one treatment session may be recommended.
This non-invasive outpatient procedure is comfortable for most people. Many of our New Jersey CoolSculpting patients choose to read, work on a laptop computer, watch videos or even take a nap during their sessions.
Since the healthy skin and tissues are not damaged during the CoolSculpting session, no downtime is needed. CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, and most patients resume daily activities immediately. Some mild side effects are expected and usually resolve within days to weeks.
Patients may notice temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, or tingling in the treated area. Rarely, firmness, itching, or sensitivity may occur, but these are self-limiting. Serious complications are uncommon when treatment is performed by experienced providers in a clinical setting. No incisions, stitches, or scarring are involved, making recovery far easier than surgical fat reduction options. CoolSculpting can help you achieve the trim profile you have always wanted.

CoolSculpting permanently destroys fat cells in treated areas, and once eliminated, those cells do not return. Most patients start to see changes as early as three weeks post-treatment, with the most visible results appearing around two to three months.
Results can last long-term, provided patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise. Since the body continues to metabolize damaged fat cells for several months, results may continue to improve gradually over time. For best results, many patients benefit from a treatment plan involving multiple sessions tailored to their body and goals. Maintenance treatments can be considered if new areas of concern develop in the future.
The cost of CoolSculpting varies for each patient depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and overall goals.
Smaller areas like the chin may require fewer sessions, while larger areas like the abdomen or thighs may require multiple cycles for comprehensive results. A detailed estimate will be provided at your consultation, which includes the number of sessions recommended, any combination with other treatments, and overall care plan costs. For your convenience, we accept cash, check, Visa®, Master®Card, American Express®, and Discover®. Financing options are available through CareCredit®.
