The Skinny on Eliminating Fat Cells with CoolSculpting | Body Contouring in Kansas City
With the freezing temperatures of winter and a new year on the horizon, we all have some goals in mind for the coming year. If you’ve been hitting the home gym hard this year and still have areas of stubborn fat, you should consider a body contouring CoolSculpting treatment. You might be thinking, why would I do a treatment if I can just work even harder at the gym? Well, there are a couple reasons.
First, the gym doesn’t let you target specific areas for fat reduction. You can choose exercises to target certain muscles, but we all know that some fat is going to stick with you no matter what (we’re looking at you lower belly fat ).
Second, CoolSculpting actually kills fat cells. Yes. They will be eliminated.
Exercise for fat reduction makes fat cells smaller, but it doesn’t actually eliminate them.
With both of these methods of fat reduction, it’s important to note that the best results are combined with a healthy lifestyle. The most important thing to remember about CoolSculpting? It allows you to target the specific area of unwanted fat to eliminate fat cells.
At AesthetiCare, we’re a leader in the aesthetics industry and extremely proud of it. We are #1 in the Midwest Region for CoolSculpting. We have the experience, results, and reviews to provide relevant information for those seeking information about body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting.
What is non-surgical body contouring?
To contour means to mold something into an ideal shape. This principle is a foundation of makeup artistry, drawing, painting, and anything else that depicts the beauty of the human form. What if you could sculpt the contours of your body strategically, the way an artist does to a figure? You can with CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting, also known as Cryolipolysis, is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that kills fat cells permanently to contour and sculpt the silhouette of your body. At AesthetiCare, our clients usually see a 20-25% reduction of unwanted fat per treatment.
CoolSculpting works best in combination with a healthy lifestyle, including a well balanced diet and regular exercise.
With CoolSculpting body contouring, you can target many areas of unwanted fat such as:
-
- Belly fat
- Love handles
- Inner and outer thighs
- Double chin
- Arms
- Bra fat
- And more!
You can also ask about specific areas of the body that you’d like to target with CoolSculpting in your free consultation. Looking for immediate advice for non-surgical fat reduction? Try out our virtual consultation tool!
Non-Invasive Body Contouring: CoolSculpting Treatment Process
There are a few steps to the body contouring process with CoolSculpting. Below we will walk you through the procedure from start to finish.
Consultation
Before any treatment at AesthetiCare, we always make sure to have a thorough consultation with each client. You will have a discussion with an AesthetiCare professional about your areas of concern. We will also measure and examine you to evaluate if CoolSculpting is right for you.
Targeted Placement
Our CoolSculpting specialist will mark and measure the areas of unwanted fat on your body. This is so our specialist can determine the best CoolSculpting instrument and treatment plan for you.
Skin Prep
The CoolSculpting specialist will apply a thin layer of gel to the target area for your protection, safety, and comfort. Then, the CoolSculpting applicator is placed on the target area and the process begins.
During Treatment
The CoolSculpting instrument will use gentle suction on the treatment area. The specialist will then place cooling panels to isolate and target the area of unwanted fat.
ZWave Application
Once the specialist removes the CoolSculpting applicator, the Zwave acoustic wave technology is used to break up the frozen fat cells. We do not charge for this additional treatment; we perform a Zwave application to maximize your body contouring results.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring Frequently Asked Questions
We know with any procedure that clients have a lot of questions. That’s great! It’s always important to be informed. We’re here to cover some of the most commonly asked questions we get about our CoolSculpting treatment.
Do you lose weight when you do CoolSculpting?
Fat reduction and weight loss are closely related, but with CoolSculpting they do not affect each other. Just like you can have weight loss from water weight, or gain weight with gaining muscle, CoolSculpting results are not measured by the number on the scale but instead by the visual results.
CoolSculpting by itself is not a weight loss solution. Instead, it’s added support to clients with stubborn areas of fat. If you have a healthy diet and exercise regimen and still have certain areas you want to reduce, you may be a good candidate for CoolSculpting to refine your figure. It is not a treatment for obesity.
How many inches can you lose with CoolSculpting?
As you can see from our CoolSculpting before and after results gallery, clients can lose multiple inches with CoolSculpting depending on the number of cycles they have. We take measurements before and after your treatment, so you will be able to see for yourself! As with any body contouring treatment, patient results and numbers will vary. The best results from CoolSculpting are in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.
How effective is CoolSculpting?
Body contouring through CoolSculpting is incredibly effective. This is because it literally freezes and kills the fat cells within your body. Through normal diet and exercise our fat cells may shrink, but they can also expand and come back.
When a fat cell is eliminated from the body, it is not replaced. Your body will naturally process the dead cells after the treatment and reveal a contoured, sculpted silhouette. At AesthetiCare, we see on average a 25% reduction of unwanted fat per treatment.
Does CoolSculpting work on belly fat?
Absolutely! CoolSculpting belly fat is one of the most popular treatment areas for our clients. Since regular diet and exercise doesn’t allow you to target specific areas, an often stubborn area like the abdomen is a great spot for CoolSculpting.

How long does CoolSculpting take to see results?
CoolSculpting procedure results can appear as early as the first month after treatment. Peak results can be seen four to six months after treatment. Believe us, it is worth the wait!
Is CoolSculpting worth the money?
Since everyone’s concerns and goals are so unique, it’s a personal preference for our clients. If you are combining this body contouring treatment with a healthy lifestyle and are looking for a confidence boost, this treatment can get you there!
