CoolSculpting in Rochester, MN
At Essence Skin Clinic in Rochester, MN, we offer a body contouring treatment called CoolSculpting® that will work alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise routine to sculpt your body and eliminate those pockets of stubborn fat keeping you from looking and feeling your best. With a personalized treatment plan, you can experience the benefits of non-invasive, non-surgical fat loss and enjoy your results long-term.
What Is CoolSculpting?
Even the healthiest diet and strictest exercise routine can prove ineffective at targeting and eliminating stubborn fat cells. Stubborn fat cells are typically resistant to diet and exercise, meaning no matter how clean you eat or how hard you exercise, they seem to stay put. CoolSculpting® can eliminate those stubborn fat cells with advanced cooling technology so you can safely reach your goals without surgery, discomfort, downtime, or pain.
This body contouring treatment freezes and destroys stubborn fat cells in one or several body areas so you can feel more confident in your appearance and achieve your ideal body composition.
Nine FDA-Cleared Treatment Areas
- Jawline: Targeting the jawline can help reduce fullness and define the lower face, addressing concerns about excess fat that can soften facial contours.
- Chin: CoolSculpting under the chin can reduce the appearance of a double chin, creating a more sculpted profile and minimizing stubborn fat that’s often hard to lose through diet alone.
- Upper Arms: The upper arms can be prone to excess fat, which may cause them to look less toned. Treating this area helps reduce arm circumference, enhancing definition and confidence in sleeveless styles.
- Back: Stubborn fat on the upper and lower back can create bulges that are difficult to address. CoolSculpting smooths these areas for a leaner back profile.
- Bra Area: This area around the sides of the chest, near the bra line, can be a common spot for excess fat, especially in women. Treatment helps reduce bulges, offering a smoother silhouette under clothing.
- Flanks: Also known as “love handles,” the flanks can store excess fat that resists traditional weight loss methods. Targeting the flanks can create a more contoured waistline.
- Abdomen: The abdomen is one of the most popular CoolSculpting areas, as many patients struggle with stubborn belly fat. Treatment here refines the waist and can help flatten the stomach.
- Thighs: Both inner and outer thigh areas can hold excess fat, causing concerns about leg shape and fit of clothing. CoolSculpting can slim and contour the thighs for a balanced look.
- Banana Roll: Located just beneath the buttocks, the “banana roll” is a common area for fat accumulation. Treating this area can improve the shape of the buttocks and create a smoother transition to the upper thigh.

What to Consider When Choosing CoolSculpting
Body sculpting treatments are best suited for targeting specific areas of stubborn fat, not for significant weight loss. Results develop gradually, as your body naturally processes and eliminates treated fat cells over several weeks to months which means that you’ll need to be patient while waiting for your results to become apparent. Sometimes, multiple sessions are needed to achieve your ideal contour, with each session reducing a portion of fat in the targeted area.
Walking You Through Your Treatment Session
During your fat reduction treatment session, you’ll get comfortable in a treatment chair. We’ll apply a gel pad to the area we are going to treat to protect your skin from the cold temperatures. The CoolSculpting applicator then gently pulls the area of concern into its cooling panels. You’ll feel a firm tugging and cold sensation, but this usually subsides within a few minutes as the area numbs. The session typically lasts about 35–60 minutes per treatment area, during which you can relax, read, or catch up on emails. Once complete, we’ll remove the applicator and briefly massage the treated area to help break up the fat cells, which kickstarts the body’s natural elimination process.
What to Expect From Your CoolSculpting Results
CoolSculpting results are natural-looking and gradual, creating a more refined contour in treated areas. Because CoolSculpting targets only fat cells, the results appear seamlessly as your body eliminates the cells over time, blending well with your overall shape. You’ll notice that the treated areas look slimmer and more toned with improved definition.
How to Maintain Your CoolSculpting Results
After your fat reduction treatment, maintaining results requires a balanced approach to health. Here are some tips to help you keep your shape:
- Stick to a Balanced Diet – Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables to support your body and minimize fat storage.
- Exercise Regularly – Incorporate a mix of cardio and strength training to boost metabolism and maintain muscle tone.
- Stay Hydrated – Drinking enough water daily supports your body’s natural elimination processes, helping to maintain your contour.
- Limit Sugar and Processed Foods – These can contribute to fat gain, so reducing them can help you keep your results longer.
- Consider Periodic Follow-Ups – Occasional maintenance treatments may help preserve your results if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does It Treat?
This body contouring treatment is FDA-approved to target and treat stubborn fat in nine different body areas, including the jawline, submental fullness beneath the chin, the back, bra fat, the upper arms, flanks, abdomen, thighs, and the area beneath the buttocks. At your initial consultation, we can discuss the areas you want to treat, and after confirming that this treatment is right for you, we will design your treatment plan.
How Does It Work?
CoolSculpting® was developed after Harvard-based scientists discovered that when fat cells were exposed to extremely cold temperatures, they experienced cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis is a process in which fat cells are frozen and then experience cell death, and the body no longer views the stubborn fat cells as healthy cells but as waste.
In the weeks following treatment, the body responds to the effects of cryolipolysis by flushing the fat cells from the body through the lymphatic system. Fat volume significantly decreases as it does, and patients begin to see improvements in areas previously defined by stubborn fat cells.
Is There Downtime?
There’s no downtime after your treatment; you can resume your day as usual. You can even go to the gym or go out for lunch after your appointment.
When Will I See My Results?
Patients can expect results in the week following treatments as the body responds to the treatment process by flushing fat cells from the system. It typically takes three to four weeks for initial results to appear, and those results continue to improve over time.
How Long Will My Results Last?
CoolSculpting® results are meant to be permanent, and once fat cells experience cell death, and the body flushes them from the system, they can’t return. Patients who undergo this treatment must understand that it is not a weight loss treatment, but it is designed to work with a healthy lifestyle to target that stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.
So long as patients understand the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle after treatment and avoiding post-treatment weight gain, they can enjoy permanent results.
How Is CoolSculpting Different From Liposuction?
While both CoolSculpting and liposuction reduce fat, they work very differently. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that freezes and eliminates fat cells through a natural process, while liposuction requires surgery to physically remove fat. CoolSculpting doesn’t involve anesthesia, incisions, or downtime and can be an appealing option for those looking for a less invasive approach to body contouring.
How Is CoolSculpting Different From Kybella®?
CoolSculpting and Kybella both aim to reduce fat, but they differ in treatment area and method. CoolSculpting targets larger areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks plus smaller areas like the chin by freezing away fat cells. Kybella is an injectable treatment specifically for fat under the chin, using a deoxycholic acid-based formula to break down fat in that area alone. For patients seeking to treat broader areas, CoolSculpting’s cooling technology will be the better option.
What Is DualSculpting?
At Essence Skin Clinic, we offer DualSculpting, a multi-tasking version of this treatment that enables patients to experience the benefits of CoolSculpting® while simultaneously targeting two different body areas. During a DualSculpting treatment, we’ll apply two applicators to two different body areas and activate the device. You’ll achieve your results even faster and enjoy the benefits of a contoured body and less fat volume in your treatment areas.
