Serving Buckhead & Atlanta, GA
Would you like to freeze those stubborn fat pockets away for good? That’s exactly what happens with CoolSculpting. The procedure freezes fat cells with a technology called cryolipolysis. The cells are processed naturally through the lymphatic system and eliminated permanently through waste. Slim Studio is an Atlanta CoolSculpting and Body Sculpting Center where you can learn more about CoolSculpting and what it can do for you!
BOOK A CONSULTEven if you are dedicated to diet and exercise, many of us still have areas of fat deposits that just don't seem to budge.
“Love handles” are a good example. That’s where the literal fat freezing of CoolSculpting comes in. CoolSculpting targets the specific areas you can’t seem to lose on your own and gets rid of those fat cells permanently. You’ll love watching the "CoolSculpted" areas slim down in the days and weeks following your treatment.
Technically known as cryolipolysis, this procedure can reduce the number of fat cells in the treated area between 20 and 25 percent. CoolSculpting's unique technology uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate unwanted fat cells with minimal recovery time.
This procedure is FDA cleared and effective, with lasting and undeniable results. If your goal is to attack fat deposits, you may want to consider CoolSculpting as a solution. While CoolSculpting targets fat cells for elimination, it will not harm the surrounding tissues such as skin and muscle. CoolSculpting treats "subcutaneous" fat or fat directly under the skin. CoolSculpting does not address the deepest layer of fat, known as "viscereal" fat. Viscereal fat can only be minimized by diet and exercise.
If you’ve got a few spots that seem to hang onto fat no matter how much you move or how clean you eat, you’re not alone—and CoolSculpting might be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s meant for those stubborn areas that just don’t respond to the usual methods.
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat fat in the following areas:
Sometimes the scale isn’t the problem—it’s those specific areas that just don’t budge. CoolSculpting is great for helping fine-tune your shape by reducing pockets of fat that seem to stick around no matter what. It’s not so much about dropping a bunch of weight, but more about reshaping your silhouette in the places that matter most to you.
This treatment is a smart option if you’re pretty close to your goal weight but just need a little help smoothing out the edges. Most people see the best results when they’re already living a healthy lifestyle, but are frustrated by a few areas that won’t cooperate.
Here’s what CoolSculpting can help with:
At our practice in Atlanta CoolSculpting isn’t just about looks—it’s about confidence. When you feel good in your clothes and you’re not constantly tugging at your shirt or avoiding certain outfits, that makes a difference. People often say they feel more relaxed, more in control, and a little lighter on their feet—even if the scale doesn’t change much.
Since CoolSculpting is non-invasive, you don’t have to block out weeks for recovery or worry about the risks that come with surgery. Most of our clients fit their treatment into a lunch break and go right back to their day. Over the next few weeks, your body does the work of clearing out those treated fat cells for good.
Here are a few reasons people love it:
While CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure with little or no downtime, there are some people who are not candidates for the procedure.
Pregnant and nursing women should not undergo CoolSculpting, and it is contraindicated for anyone with a pacemaker or similar implanted device. Our certified CoolSculpting providers will review all the safety information with you at your consultation.
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. You may be a good candidate for CoolSculpting if you are close to or at your ideal weight and have stubborn areas that you would like to address.
CoolSculpting targets fat specifically under the surface of the skin. While the procedure permanently reduces localized fat pockets, the quality of the skin—its elasticity and texture—plays a key role in how smoothly the area recontours. Individuals with firm, elastic skin typically see more refined results, while those with looser or thinning skin may notice mild laxity. During your consultation, our specialists will assess your skin tone and anatomy closely, helping you understand how your body may respond and whether additional skincare or light tightening treatments might be beneficial.
Getting ready for CoolSculpting is refreshingly simple. At your consultation, we’ll talk through your goals, take a look at the areas you want to treat, and create a plan that makes sense for your body and lifestyle. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and get all the details so there are no surprises.
Unlike some procedures, there’s usually nothing special you need to do to prepare. No fasting, no medication adjustments—just come as you are. We’ll give you some tips to help make the day of treatment as comfortable as possible, like wearing loose clothing and planning something relaxing for afterward.
Here’s what you can expect from the process:
Prep time: None
Discomfort: Mild
Downtime: Little
Results: Three weeks; final results at 12 weeks
Duration: Permanent fat cell elimination
The typical application time is 30 minutes, although a few are longer in duration. The CoolSculpting applicators utilize vacuum to assist in placement, so the patient will feel some pulling in the area, then the cold is delivered. Following the treatment, a two-minute massage is performed to the area treated. During the treatment, you can watch TV, read, even use your phone or computer. Our technicians will keep you very comfortable during the quick treatment, and you can return to normal activities immediately after your treatment.
To begin the treatment, the skin is prepped with an alcohol wipe, then a gel pad is placed on the area to be treated. This gel pad is used to protect the skin. The cold is delivered through various CoolSculpting applicators, each designed for a specific body part.
There is no sedation involved with CoolSculpting. Patients may undergo annual CoolSculpting “touch-ups” or have the procedure repeated when needed. CoolSculpting is one of our Treat to Complete procedures. We encourage our CoolSculpting patients to get the most out of their investment by undergoing the full treatment plan that is recommended.
CoolSculpting and liposuction both aim to reduce fat, but they go about it in very different ways. CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical and works by freezing fat cells—known as fat freezing Atlanta clients rely on—for the body to naturally eliminate over time. Liposuction, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that removes fat directly from the body through a small incision.
CoolSculpting is a great option for people who want a more gradual change without the downtime that comes with surgery. Liposuction may be better for someone looking for more dramatic results or who has larger areas of fat they want to address. The best choice depends on your body, your goals, and your preferences.
Here’s a quick comparison:
CoolSculpting is non-invasive, making it safer than other fat removal procedures such as liposuction. Patients do not have to recover from surgery. There is little recovery time involved with CoolSculpting. After their treatment with CoolSculpting Atlanta patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after their sessions. Any side effects are usually mild and may include:
These mild side effects typically resolve in a few days, but can last longer. All common and rare side effects are thoroughly reviewed at your consultation.
CoolSculpting is grounded in the clinical principle of cryolipolysis, which selectively cools fat cells to a temperature where they trigger a natural elimination process. Medical studies show an average fat reduction of approximately 20–25% in treated zones. Most clients begin to notice changes as early as three weeks after treatment, with optimal transformation visible between eight and twelve weeks. The body gradually flushes out frozen fat cells through the lymphatic system, leading to permanent sculpting when paired with long-term weight maintenance.
When considering CoolSculpting Buckhead patients should know that results take time to appear, but the wait is well worth it. Most clients will begin to see results in about four weeks, with the most changes occurring between weeks four and nine. Your final result is considered to be at 12 weeks.
Most clients are very pleased with their results. We always recommend that diet and exercise be continued or even "stepped up" during the weeks and months that follow their CoolSculpting treatments. Many find that those stubborn areas are decreasing, so enter your journey with the mindset to "Treat to Complete.” As long as you do not gain weight after treatment, you should see yourself slim down as your clothes begin to fit better and those unsightly bulges are minimized!
Once your body naturally eliminates treated fat cells, they’re gone for good—but preserving your results depends on lifestyle. Keeping a stable weight through balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and mindful habits provides the best foundation. For enhanced tone and skin health, consider adding gentle movement via yoga or Pilates, which supports lymphatic flow and muscle tone. Annual check-ins or “touch-up” sessions can also be discussed to make minor refinements and sustain your lifting shape long-term.

Slim Studio now provides CoolSculpting® Elite, the latest evolution in fat-freezing technology. This upgraded system treats more surface area in less time and uses redesigned applicators that better conform to the body’s natural curves. The experience is quieter, faster, and more comfortable, and it’s already the preferred choice among patients in Atlanta and Buckhead. With dual applicators working simultaneously, many individuals find they can achieve the results they want with fewer sessions. The outcome is still the same clinically proven fat reduction, but the path to get there is more efficient and tailored to the modern body contouring experience.
| Feature | Standard CoolSculpting | CoolSculpting Elite |
|---|---|---|
| Applicator Design | Single applicator | Dual applicators for wider coverage |
| Treatment Time | 35–60 minutes per zone | Treats two zones at once — faster sessions |
| Contact Cooling | Basic | Enhanced precision and comfort |
| Coverage | Ideal for flat or small areas | Better fit for curved or larger treatment zones |
CoolSculpting Elite represents a modern upgrade. With dual applicators, refined cooling, and tailored fit, it enables broader targeting with greater comfort—making it especially suited for the diversified contours seen in Atlanta and Buckhead clients today.
The cost of CoolSculpting Elite varies based on the treatment area, the number of applicators needed, and the total number of sessions recommended. In Atlanta, most treatments fall within the $750 to $1,500 per cycle range, although larger or more complex treatment plans may extend beyond that.
Pricing is not one-size-fits-all. A person targeting their abdomen and flanks may require fewer sessions than someone addressing five different zones. The initial consultation includes a detailed assessment and a personalized quote based on anatomy, goals, and desired outcomes. While CoolSculpting is not covered by insurance, Slim Studio offers competitive pricing packages and monthly payment options through Cherry and CareCredit to make the process accessible.

CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.
Once the fat cells have been frozen, they shall naturally die off, and the body will then dispose of them. The treated fat cells will be permanently removed from your body through natural physical processes.
You will experience some slight pressure and a cold sensation in the targeted areas. As your body acclimates to the temperature, this sensation will diminish. Most patients are able to sit back and relax, read, watch TV, work on their laptop, or even catch a nap.
Many patients wind up taking even better care of their bodies after enjoying the results from their CoolSculpting procedure. However, if you find that you do gain weight, you will likely put on weight evenly, not just in the treated areas.
CoolSculpting Elite offers a significant improvement over the original system. It features dual applicators that treat more areas in less time, redesigned applicators for improved contact and comfort, and a streamlined experience that enhances both safety and efficiency.
Most individual zones can be treated in 35 minutes. If multiple areas are addressed simultaneously using dual applicators, total treatment time may be reduced to under an hour for comprehensive contouring.
Early changes may appear as soon as three weeks post-treatment, but the most dramatic improvements typically develop over two to three months as the body eliminates the frozen fat cells.
Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, tenderness, and numbness are common but typically mild. These effects usually subside within days or weeks without the need for medication or downtime.
Treatment plans are highly individualized. Some patients achieve their goals in a single visit, while others benefit from two or three sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend the best course of action during the consultation.
Most clients describe early sensations as pressure or a cold tug, which quickly subsides as the area becomes numb. Many find it quite tolerable—often reading, working, or streaming video mid-treatment.
Absolutely. CoolSculpting complements treatments like EMsculpt, skin tightening, or fat-freezing packages for personalized body sculpting solutions.
While frozen fat cells are removed permanently, new fat can accumulate in untreated zones. Maintaining weight through diet and exercise is advised to protect your results.
