CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction that allows you to freeze away stubborn fat. It isn’t a weight loss procedure; instead, it’s designed for individuals who are already at or near their target weight. Instead, it offers both women and men an effective way to finally eliminate those persistent fat areas that refuse to go away. CoolSculpting Elite has been shown to reduce more fat in fewer cycles than regular CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting works by eliminating fat cells. Each treatment reduces fat in the targeted area by about 18% to 20%. The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your goals and body. After your consultation, our CoolSculpting experts will estimate the number of treatments you’ll need. The procedure is non-invasive.
My CoolSculpting procedure with Diana was amazing. She’s very knowledgeable in her field, answered all my questions, and was very open and honest. During the procedure, she made me feel very comfortable and safe. She was also attentive, constantly checking on me to make sure everything was good or if I needed anything. Definitely a wonderful experience 🙂

Since establishing RefinedMD in 2012, Dr. Swengel has earned a reputation throughout the South Bay as one of the area’s top cosmetic and medical dermatologists. He is sought out for his expertise as a Mohs micrographic surgeon and laser treatment specialist, as well as his warm, attentive style of patient care.
Meet Dr. Steven SwengelCoolTone is a muscle-toning treatment that uses Active Magnetic Plus (AMP) technology. This energy source stimulates muscle contractions that the body can’t achieve on its own. Most clients require 4 to 8 treatments for optimal results, with each treatment spaced approximately 1 week apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 3 to 6 months. A healthy diet and regular exercise are essential for maximizing the results of CoolTone and CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting Elite is the latest generation of fat-freezing technology. Elite removes more fat per treatment, achieving an average of 20 to 25% fat reduction. The redesigned applicators are C-shaped, allowing them to align with the body’s natural curves. They come in 7 shapes and sizes that enable treating larger areas (like the stomach) in less time, so your CoolSculpting sessions will be even faster, easier, and more effective.
While fat cells shrink with diet and exercise, they do not go away. Liposuction and CoolSculpting permanently remove fat. CoolSculpting utilizes the principle that fat freezes at a higher temperature than surrounding tissues. The FDA-cleared, controlled cooling process targets and kills fat cells without harming the skin, muscle, or surrounding tissues. The body naturally absorbs fat in the treatment area, causing areas to become gradually slimmer. If you want fat to be gone for good, safely, with no anesthesia or incisions, CoolSculpting may be the answer.

After your consultation, our Master CoolSculpters will give you an estimate of the number of treatments you’ll need. The procedure is absolutely non-invasive. It involves an exterior U-shaped applicator that is placed on the target area(s) while the fat is “frozen.”

The best candidates have a healthy BMI. Are you within 15 to 20 pounds of your goal weight? If so, you’re probably a great candidate! Are you interested in liposuction but cautious about unnecessary surgeries? CoolSculpting might be the alternative you’ve been searching for. Suitable for both men and women, CoolSculpting can treat the abdomen, flanks, back, neck, arms, and other areas.
RefinedMD offers multiple body contouring treatment options at our Los Gatos, California, practice. EMSCULPT® and EMSCULPT NEO® build muscle mass and reduce fat. EMSCULPT pairs well with CoolSculpting. RefinedMD was one of the first practices to offer EMSCULPT. We also offer Accufit™ and cellulite treatments to help you achieve the contours that you’re looking for. Your provider will help you determine which options are best for you.
CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite treatments are similar in their approach. We place the applicator over the treatment area. You may feel suction (depending on the applicator used), followed by intense cold, and possibly a tingling sensation, until the skin becomes numb. The treatment itself is low-key enough to allow you to squeeze in a Netflix episode or check your email during the session. Treatments are as quick as 35 minutes, depending on the targeted area and the applicator used. No anesthetic is needed.
Results develop gradually as treated fat dies and the body eliminates it. You’ll see full results within 6 months of your final treatment.
Possible side effects after CoolSculpting are rare, minimal, and typically temporary. Treated areas may be slightly red, swollen, tingly, or sensitive initially, but not enough to interrupt your daily activities and exercise routine.
