Am I a Good Candidate for Male CoolSculpting?
Our experienced staff will explain the risks and rewards of CoolSculpting during your consultation in our office prior to your procedure. Although this treatment is generally safe and effective for healthy men of any skin type or tone, it is of the utmost importance that your cosmetic care is individualized, safe, and effective.

How Is CoolSculpting for Men Performed?
Once we've designed your custom treatment plan, we can begin the procedure itself. A gel pad and the CoolSculpting handpiece will be used on the targeted area, which allows the technology to precisely target and freeze the desired fat cells. Some patients report feeling a slight amount of cold throughout the procedure, though most do not describe this sensation as painful or even particularly uncomfortable. While this happens, the device will be using suction to remove the frozen fat cells from the body, which can feel a bit like a pinch. Many of our patients choose to target more than one area in their session in order to reach their aesthetic goals even faster.
What Can I Expect Following Male CoolSculpting?
Compared to body contouring surgery, Dr. Eagan will not use incisions to perform the CoolSculpting treatment. Due to this fact, patients will be free to return to their normal, daily life at the immediate conclusion of the procedure. While there may be a mild amount of swelling, bruising, redness, and/or discomfort around the targeted area(s), these effects should naturally subside within the following days. In most cases, our patients begin to notice the results of CoolSculpting within about three weeks of their session, with peak results being visible about one to three months after the final treatment.
Male CoolSculpting FAQ
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting involves using a controlled temperature to destroy fat cells in predetermined areas for treatment. Essentially, it cools the fat cells until they die. The cells are broken down by your body and disposed of through natural bodily functions.
Is CoolSculpting safe?
CoolSculpting is a minimally invasive, external treatment where the device is applied only to the skin’s surface. With this procedure, there's no need for a recovery period, and it is both safe and effective. You may experience some slight redness and swelling immediately following treatment, but that generally subsides in around a week.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments recommended to reach your desired results will be determined during your initial consultation. For some patients, only one treatment is enough, while others might require more sessions depending on the amount of fat or areas being addressed. The amount of sessions depends on your aesthetic goals and if you have larger concentrations of fat in the to-be-treated areas.
How long does a CoolSculpting session take?
A CoolSculpting session typically takes about 35 – 60 minutes per treatment area. The exact duration depends on the size and number of areas being treated. Multiple areas can be treated in one session for efficiency.
What is the recovery time for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive procedure with minimal recovery time. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some may experience mild side effects like redness, swelling, or bruising, which typically resolve within a few days.
How long do the results of CoolSculpting last?
The results of CoolSculpting are long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and removed from the body. However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise is crucial to sustaining the results. Significant weight gain can affect the remaining fat cells.
