Technical specifications

The CoolSculpting device is precisely controlled by an engineered monitoring system to cool tissue down to −7°C.

The applicator is attached to the targeted area and uses vacuum to draw tissue into the cup-like shape. It is then held in place between two cooling panels. Energy, in the form of heat, is then extracted from the area and the underlying fatty tissue is cooled.

Sensors embedded in the applicator heads monitor the skin temperature during the procedure to ensure a controlled and consistent treatment. Cooling can be adjusted throughout treatment thanks to this continuous feedback from the sensors

The CoolSculpting device comes with a variety of applicators for targeting different areas of fatty tissue and some clinics may have more at their disposal than others.
