How to Prepare for CoolSculpting

The first step towards undergoing CoolSculpting is a consultation with Dr. Minniti. From there, he will develop a unique treatment plan tailored to achieve your aesthetic goals. Since it is a relatively simple procedure, there isn’t much you need to do before your treatment: no specific diet/exercise plans are necessary.

Who Are Ideal Candidates for CoolSculpting?

The best candidates for CoolSculpting are those with stubborn bulges of fat that resist all diet and exercise. Although the procedure successfully removes fat, it is not a major weight-loss method (such as gastric bypass surgery) and should not be used to diminish obesity.

CoolSculpting works best for those who stay committed to their health before and after the procedure through frequent exercise and a good diet, ensuring the fat in problem areas (thighs, love handles, submental area, bra/back area, underneath the buttocks, and abdomen) does not reemerge after treatment. Most people choose CoolSculpting since they want a reliable method to remove stubborn fat without the invasiveness of procedures like liposuction (surgery) or KYBELLA® (injections).

CoolSculpting Procedure: What to Expect

What to Expect During CoolSculpting in Beverly Hills?

The doctor will apply the CoolSculpting machine to problem areas, and, as the cooling begins, you will likely feel pressure and intense cold. Typically, common and temporary side effects include:

  • Numbness
  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Aching
  • Cramping
  • Tenderness
  • Itching
  • Firmness
  • Tingling
  • Stinging
  • Minimal Pain

However, after a few minutes, the majority of these sensations can possibly diminish, allowing you to watch television, read or work for the remainder of your treatment.

The length of your treatment will be determined by your contouring goals: the larger the fat area that you want to remove, the longer your treatment will be. Additional sessions may have to be scheduled depending on the size of the problem area, which Dr. Minniti will prescribe during your consultation. Typically, 1 to 3 treatments are ideal.

Recovery

Since this is a non-surgical procedure, you may be able to resume normal activities following your treatment. This lack of downtime makes CoolSculpting an attractive fat-reduction treatment option for those whose busy schedules don’t allow for breaks.

Risks & Complications

One of the primary reasons CoolSculpting is such a popular treatment is the limited range of serious side effects, and complete lack of life-threatening cases. Overall, the chance of negative side effects is much smaller than other fat reduction treatment options, such as liposuction and tummy tucks. Since CoolSculpting is non-invasive, you won’t have to worry about infections, anesthesia complications, scarring, or wounds.

However, you might experience the following in treated areas:

  • Mild to moderate pain
  • Mild Bruising and tenderness
  • Numbness (can occur for up to 6 weeks, and is not a sign of nerve damage)

Although CoolSculpting has been approved by the FDA and administered over 1 million times worldwide, it is not for everyone. If you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, then you are not a candidate for this procedure.

Results

Once the treated fat cells crystallize, they start being processed naturally, since your body identifies them as dead cells. You may start seeing results within a few weeks of your treatment—and they can continue to improve for up to 6 months. Your results may peak after 2 to 3 months, at which point almost all of the stubborn fat has been processed, creating a much more contoured and sculpted shape.

Although you may feel a renewed vigor to stay in shape and maintain a healthy diet, sometimes weight gain can be inevitable. Luckily, CoolSculpting increases the chance of gaining weight evenly throughout your entire body, rather than just in problem areas, creating a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing look.

Dr. Minniti and his staff are the most awesome people. I have had several surgeries with Dr. Minniti dating back over 10 years and he is the only Doctor I trust to do my procedures. Dr. Minitti has exceptional talent. He is an outstanding surgeon and a very caring person. His work is excellent! Rio, the office manager, is an absolute gem, and all of the staff are so nice. If I could give more stars in this rating, I would. I highly recommend Dr. Minniti to anyone and everyone.

If I could give more stars I would! Dr Minniti’s office has a very welcoming atmosphere to make anyone feel comfortable about any procedure they want done. Ariana was my coordinator and she made everything super simple and easy to follow. I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Minniti about two years ago and it was the BEST decision I ever made. BELIEVE THE HYPE AROUND DR. MINNITI. He answered any and all my questions and helped to make me feel at ease since this was my first ever cosmetic procedure. His work is truly amazing, I opted for a bigger size of implants but Dr Minniti’s work is amazing people tell me that my breasts look so natural! If you’re considering a breast augmentation look no further and book with him!

Got my first breast augmentation with Dr.Minniti in 2018 and absolutely LOVED my results and ended up going back to him three more times for more work on myself! I also got lipo 360 with a BBL and lipo on my arms with skin tightening and could not be more happier. He is so knowledgeable and spectacular at what he does! I love how honest he is and technical. His work is so beautiful and I get so many compliments, makes me just want to keep coming back aha!

Exceptional Care and Expertise Dr. Minniti performed a reconstructive surgery on my right breast in July 2024, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his skill and compassion. I had a history of breast surgeries with other plastic surgeons, some of which led to scary complications. Not only did I need my right breast repaired due to bottoming out, requiring an internal bra and capsulorrhaphy, but I also carried a lot of fear from previous, traumatizing experiences. Dr. Minniti not only addressed my physical concerns with precision and expertise, but he also provided unparalleled compassion and understanding throughout the entire process. He truly listened to my concerns, made me feel heard, and eased my fears every step of the way. The results exceeded my expectations, and I feel whole again, both physically and emotionally. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Minniti to anyone seeking a plastic surgeon who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about their patients. He has truly been a life-changing presence in my journey, and I am forever grateful.

Dr. Minniti has been my Dr for years and I continue to be amazed by his precision and attention to detail with every procedure. He is known for his natural esthetic that has patients looking refreshed versus having had work done. He analyzes and evaluates every area to ensure a symmetrical and flawless approach. The amount of friends and acquaintances I’ve referred him are countless. Dr. Minniti’s pristine craftsmanship speaks for itself and people constantly approach me asking my skin care or beauty routine and the truth is - it’s Dr. Minniti. He’s the ultimate guru for plastic surgery and procedures like Botox and Fillers.
