CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment designed to freeze and eliminate fat cells in targeted areas.
At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we use advanced cryolipolysis technology to help you achieve the sculpted body you’ve always wanted—without surgery, needles, or downtime. As the UK’s leading clinic, our techniques ensure safe, effective results—but first, what exactly is CoolSculpting and how does it work?
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting® targets and eliminates fat cells in specific body areas using advanced cooling technology. We deliver precise and safe results, helping you achieve your desired body shape without surgery.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting’s science lies in cryolipolysis—a process where fat cells are crystallised and destroyed without affecting surrounding tissue. The fat cells break down through apoptosis (natural cell death) and are gradually eliminated by the lymphatic system over several weeks. Results become visible between 8-16 weeks post-treatment.

The Treatment Process
- Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll assess your body goals and develop a personalised treatment plan for specific areas like the thighs, love handles, or belly fat.
- Treatment: A gel pad and applicator are placed on the target areas. Cooling begins, and within minutes, the fat cells freeze. Patients often relax, read, or nap during the 35-75 minute sessions.
- Post-Treatment: After treatment, your body processes the frozen fat cells, which are gradually eliminated over time.
Why Choose CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is ideal for those who want to target stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s FDA-approved, safe, and requires no recovery time. CoolSculpting can reduce fat by up to 25-27% in treated areas, offering natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Is CoolSculpting Safe?
Yes, CoolSculpting is a FDA-approved treatment that has been performed over 17 million times worldwide. It’s a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects, which typically include temporary redness or tingling in the treated area. Serious side effects are extremely rare, but we’ll discuss any concerns you have during your consultation.

- Upper arms

The Science of CoolSculpting Applicators
CoolSculpting’s innovative technology relies on specialised applicators to crystallise and destroy fat cells. Each applicator is designed to treat different areas of the body, allowing for precise, targeted fat reduction. Here’s how our range of applicators works:
- CoolSculpting Elite: The latest generation of CoolSculpting technology, featuring larger applicators for improved coverage and faster results by treating two areas simultaneously. This advanced system ensures efficient cooling across larger body areas.
- CoolMini™: The smallest of the CoolSculpting applicators, perfect for treating delicate areas like the double chin. It offers a comfortable treatment experience and is FDA-cleared to improve both submental fat and neck laxity. Treatments last about 45 minutes and can also be used on areas like bra bumps and knees.
- CoolAdvantage™: This upgraded applicator is designed for faster, more comfortable treatments. By providing consistent cooling across a larger area, the treatment time is reduced by nearly 50%, taking only 35 minutes.
- CoolAdvantage Petite™: Smaller than the full-sized CoolAdvantage but larger than CoolMini™, this applicator is perfect for treating hard-to-reach areas like the arms, inner thighs, and bra rolls. It offers a comfortable, efficient treatment in just 35 minutes.
- DualSculpting™: This technique allows us to use two CoolSculpting machines at the same time, treating two areas simultaneously and cutting your session time in half. It’s an ideal option for patients looking for faster, more efficient treatments.
