Results and patient experience may vary. While CoolSculpting is safe, some rare side effects may occur. As with any medical procedure, only your CoolSculpting provider can
helpyou decide if CoolSculpting is right for you. In the U.S., the CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen
and flank. Outside the U.S., the CoolSculpting procedure for noninvasive fat reduction is available worldwide. CoolSculpting, the CoolSculpting logo, the Snowflake design, and Fear
