Is CoolSculpting worth it? Does coolsculpting work
When it comes to choosing a cosmetic treatment, you want to be sure that it is right for you, and to do that, you need to look at the positives as well as the disadvantages.
At The Private Clinic, we offer free consultations with our expert CoolSculpting practitioners who will be able to explain in detail what the treatment involves, assess your suitability, go through the various treatment options available, and what each stage of treatment involves including recovery and aftercare.
What is CoolSculpting?
The first way to decide if CoolSculpting is going to be worthwhile for you is to understand what the treatment is.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat freezing treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to freeze the fat cells safely and effectively within the areas being treated without damaging the surrounding area or skin.
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting uses a technique known as Cryolipolysis. This is where the area of the body being treated is exposed to low -11 temperatures which causes the fat cells in the area to crystalise. The crystallised fat cells will then go through a process of breaking down and being processed via the lymphatic system.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
The cost of CoolSculpting will vary from clinic to clinic and be dependent on how many areas are being treated and how many sessions are required.
At The Private Clinic, Coolsculpting treatment cycles cost £345 per cycle.
We offer free consultations with our CoolSculpting experts in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Northampton, Stoke Poges, Bucks and Marylebone, London

Like all treatments, CoolSculpting does have some side effects, most common ones include redness and swelling post-treatment, and some patients experience bruising and numbness or tingling in the treated area.

All CoolSculpting side effects should be temporary and usually, last only a few hours up to a few days after treatment.
