Freeze and Eliminate Unwanted Fat with No Surgical Downtime

Some fat doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, and no amount of discipline changes that. CoolSculpting in Richmond treats those stubborn areas with controlled cooling: no incisions, no anesthesia, and you walk out and go back to your day.

Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin plan and supervise every treatment, and we’re a CoolSculpting Diamond Provider. Because they also perform liposuction, you get an honest recommendation about which option fits your goals, not just the one we happen to sell. We offer CoolSculpting Elite, the latest generation of the system, with a complimentary consultation and a price-match guarantee.

Our CoolSculpting treatments include:

CoolSculpting Technology

CoolSculpting is a unique body contouring method that harnesses the effects of cold to effectively reduce unwanted fat cells. Through a groundbreaking technique called cryolipolysis, this treatment freezes and destroys the fat cells, contributing to stubborn and undesirable fat deposits.

After the fat cells are frozen, your body naturally processes and eliminates them over time. The recovery period following the treatment is minimal, allowing you to achieve remarkable results without disrupting your daily routine.

Which Areas Can Be Treated with CoolSculpting?

Dr. Sundin may suggest CoolSculpting as a non-surgical option for individuals with specific areas of stubborn fat. While CoolSculpting is not designed for skin tightening or overall weight loss, it is an excellent choice for both men and women who maintain a healthy weight and wish to reshape and contour targeted areas of their body. We also offer an applicator suitable for smaller regions.

Common areas that can be effectively treated include the following:

  • Thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Love Handles
  • Flanks
  • Back Fat
  • Bra Fat
  • Banana Rolls
  • Neck
  • Arms

Rest and Recovery After CoolSculpting

Aside from experiencing some tenderness in the treated area, you won’t have significant downtime. You can resume your normal daily activities almost immediately after your session. Since CoolSculpting gradually reduces fat cells, you can expect to see initial results within three weeks.

Complete results typically begin to emerge between two and four months after the treatment. While individual outcomes may vary, many patients achieve up to a 20% reduction in fat with CoolSculpting. Following your treatment, adhering to a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential to maintain your newly contoured appearance.

CoolSculpting FAQ

Is CoolSculpting painful?

While some patients may experience discomfort during the procedure, most report only mild to moderate sensations of pulling, tugging, or coldness.

Can CoolSculpting Elite eliminate my cellulite?

CoolSculpting Elite is not specifically designed to treat cellulite. However, it can help reduce excess fat in the targeted area, potentially leading to a smoother appearance of the skin.

Will CoolSculpting assist with weight loss?

CoolSculpting is not intended for weight loss but focuses on reducing localized fat deposits in specific body areas.

How long does swelling last after a CoolSculpting session?

Swelling may persist for up to two weeks following CoolSculpting but generally diminishes within a few days.

Can CoolSculpting reduce saddlebags?

Yes, CoolSculpting is an effective non-surgical option for minimizing saddlebags and contouring the thighs.

Is CoolSculpting effective for gynecomastia?

Yes, CoolSculpting can help reduce excess fat in the chest area associated with gynecomastia. However, it may not be suitable for severe cases or those primarily caused by glandular tissue enlargement, where surgical options may be more appropriate.

How old do I have to be to get CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for adults 18 years and older. Although there’s no upper age limit, candidates should be in good overall health, close to their ideal weight, and have areas of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise.

Where does the fat go when it's removed by CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, which are then gradually broken down and processed by the body’s lymphatic system. Over the next few weeks to months, the body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells, reducing the fat layer in the treated area. Once these fat cells are removed, they are gone for good, leaving a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

How often can you get treated with CoolSculpting?

The frequency of CoolSculpting treatments depends on your individual goals and treatment plan. Most people see results after one or two sessions, spaced about 1-3 months apart.
