CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary method of targeted fat removal capable of smoothing bulges and pockets of stubborn fat without surgery, anesthesia, needles, or downtime. While this cutting-edge treatment offers as much as 20 to 25 percent of fat reduction in a given area, your results are generally only as good as the skill of your CoolSculpting® provider.
At Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics (SVIA), our plastic surgeons are not only board-certified and fellowship-trained — they are also included among a small number of physicians in the country who are CoolSculpting® Preferred Partners. This means Dr. Tom Liu and Dr. Jerome Liu have access to the most up-to-date CoolSculpting® applicators and technology, such as DualSculpting® and CoolAdvantage™, and can offer exclusive package pricing meant to help you achieve your aesthetic goals at a more economical costs compared to other providers.

How Is Coolsculpting® Treatment Performed?
CoolSculpting® treatment takes place in-office at Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics. Here at our plastic surgeon-led medical spa, your certified CoolSculpting® provider will first place a gel pad between the treatment site and the cooling panels of the handheld applicator. This allows the cooling plates to effectively reach the subcutaneous fat layer without ever making physical contact with your skin. You will feel a tugging sensation as the applicator draws in the isolated fat, followed by numbness as the cold temperature reaches the underlying fat cells. For the rest of the CoolSculpting® session (approximately one hour depending on your treatment plan), patients often watch movies, answer emails, spend time online, or simply relax.
What Can I Expect After My Coolsculpting® Procedure?
Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, numbness, and possible bruising are common reactions after CoolSculpting®. These effects will subside with time and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. There is typically no downtime required after CoolSculpting®. As the destroyed fat cells are flushed out by natural body processes, you should be able to see improvement as soon as one month after your treatment. The full outcome should be visible two to four months after your CoolSculpting® procedure, with multiple treatment sessions often able to produce a more dramatic result. By maintaining a stable weight and a healthy, active lifestyle, CoolSculpting® results can last indefinitely. CoolSculpting® is on the forefront of non-surgical cosmetic treatments capable of helping patients attain a smoother, flatter, and firmer look in the face or body.

What is CoolSculpting, and how does it work?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses controlled cooling (Cryolipolysis™) to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. At Liu Plastic Surgery, a gel pad and applicator are placed on the treatment area, cooling the fat cells until they crystallize and are naturally flushed out by the body over time, reducing bulges without surgery or downtime.
What areas of the body can CoolSculpting treat?
CoolSculpting can target stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, hips, flanks, back, and submental region (neck). It’s ideal for smoothing problem spots such as a double chin, bra roll, muffin top, or love handles, as noted by the Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics (SVIA).
What should I expect during and after a CoolSculpting session?
During the procedure, a gel pad and applicator are applied, and you’ll feel a tugging sensation followed by numbness as the area is cooled. Sessions last about an hour, and you can relax, watch movies, or work. Afterward, temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, numbness, or bruising may occur, but there’s typically no downtime, so you can resume normal activities.
How long does it take to see results from CoolSculpting?
You may see improvement as early as one month after treatment, with full results typically visible two to four months post-procedure. Multiple sessions can enhance outcomes, reducing 20 to 25 percent of fat in the treated area, and results can last indefinitely with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting at SVIA?
Ideal candidates have little to no skin laxity, no history of cold-related illnesses, and are bothered by isolated fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Tom Liu and Dr. Jerome Liu, CoolSculpting Preferred Partners, evaluate your concerns to determine if this treatment suits your body contouring goals.
