Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting)

Refine your silhouette without surgery or needles. CoolSculpting targets stubborn pockets of fat through controlled cooling.

Our approach

What is CoolSculpting cryolipolysis?

At DGB Clinic, we use AbbVie’s CoolSculpting system, one of the most extensively studied cryolipolysis devices. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue. CoolSculpting applies carefully controlled cooling to a targeted area, prompting some fat cells to break down while leaving neighbouring structures intact.

The process has two stages:

Targeted cooling: An applicator draws in and cools fatty tissue, typically for 35 to 60 minutes, to start the process.
Gradual fat reduction : Treated fat cells are cleared over four to twelve weeks. Results can last if your weight stays stable.

Treatment goals

Double chin, stubborn fat, body contouring and menopause-related changes

CoolSculpting may reduce localized fat resistant to diet and exercise in areas such as under the chin, the flanks, abdomen, thighs, arms, back, inner knees and below the buttocks.

It can also be considered for people whose fat distribution has changed around perimenopause or menopause.

The technique:

A protective gel is applied before the applicator draws the target tissue between cooling plates. Several areas may be treated in one visit. The area is massaged after the applicator is removed.

Benefits:

Measurable reduction in treated fat cells.
Several areas may be treated in one visit.
No anesthesia, incisions or recovery period.
Gradual, natural-looking results.
Technology cleared by Health Canada and the FDA.

effects & longevity

Expected results

Immediate effect

The area may feel temporarily firmer after treatment. Visible changes usually begin after three to six weeks as treated fat cells are cleared.

Evolution :

Fat reduction continues for up to 12 weeks. Results are generally assessed at a follow-up two to three months later; some areas may benefit from a second session.

Duration:

Treated fat cells do not regenerate. Results may last when weight remains stable; significant weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells. One or two sessions per area are often enough.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

What is CoolSculpting and how does cryolipolysis work?

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target localized fat. Your body gradually clears the treated fat cells, reducing a specific area without surgery or needles and usually allowing a quick return to daily life.

Which areas can CoolSculpting treat?

CoolSculpting may treat localized fat that persists despite diet and exercise, including the abdomen, flanks, double chin, arms, thighs, back or beneath the buttocks. A Clinique Dre Blackburn assessment confirms whether the area is suitable for a balanced result.

How many sessions are needed to reduce stubborn fat?

The number of sessions depends on the area, fat thickness and your goal. Many people see improvement after one session per area; a second can refine contouring, especially on the abdomen or flanks.

When will I see results after CoolSculpting?

Results take time as your body gradually clears the treated fat cells. Early changes often appear within a few weeks, with more visible results around eight to twelve weeks. Results last when your weight remains stable.
