If you’ve been researching ways to slim stubborn areas that don’t seem to budge with diet and exercise, you’ve probably come across CoolSculpting®. It’s one of the most popular non-surgical body contouring treatments available today, and for good reason. But before booking your session at GLO Antiaging, you may be wondering, what exactly is CoolSculpting, and are the results really permanent?

What is CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® is a Health Canada and FDA-approved treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat without surgery, needles, or downtime. It uses a technology called cryolipolysis, which delivers controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. Over the following weeks, your body naturally eliminates these damaged fat cells, leaving you with a smoother, more sculpted silhouette. Unlike weight loss, which only shrinks fat cells, CoolSculpting® actually destroys them. Once they’re gone, they don’t regenerate, which makes the results long-lasting.

Is CoolSculpting Permanent?

The short answer is yes, CoolSculpting® permanently eliminates the fat cells it targets. During treatment, controlled cooling destroys these cells, and over the following weeks your body naturally processes and removes them. Once gone, those fat cells do not grow back or regenerate.

However, the fat cells that remain in your body can still expand if you gain weight. This doesn’t mean CoolSculpting® has “worn off,” but rather that weight gain is being stored in the untreated fat cells. That’s why CoolSculpting® is best viewed as a long-term body contouring solution, not a weight loss method. With healthy lifestyle habits, results can last for years.

How to Maintain Your CoolSculpting Results

At GLO Antiaging, we remind clients that CoolSculpting® is a partnership: the treatment removes fat cells permanently, but you’ll need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep your results looking their best. Our clinicians recommend:

  • A Balanced diet to avoid future weight gain
  • Regular exercise to maintain muscle tone and support fat loss
  • Staying hydrated to aid your body’s natural processes

What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting can be used on multiple areas of the body, including:

  • Abdomen: helps reduce belly fat and smooth the midsection
  • Flanks / Love Handles: slims the sides of the waistline
  • Thighs: treats both inner and outer thighs (“saddlebags”)
  • Arms: reduces excess fat along the upper arms
  • Under the Chin (Submental Area): minimizes the look of a double chin
  • Back Fat: targets bulges along the upper and lower back
  • Bra Fat: reduces fat around the bra line
  • Under the Buttocks (“Banana Roll”): smooths the crease beneath the buttocks

CoolSculpting® works best for people close to their ideal weight who want to contour these specific areas, rather than as a total weight-loss solution.
