At our medical spa in Annandale and Chevy Chase, as little as one CoolSculpting® treatment can reduce unsightly fat bulges. It works by selectively deep-freezing unwanted fat cells, causing them to break down and die off. After treatment, your body metabolizes these cells to naturally flush them out of the body. Within just a few short months, fat bulges on your belly, love handles, or other problem areas appear smaller. And, with our new CoolSmooth® handpiece, we can help smooth & slim the thighs too!
CoolSculpting® is FDA cleared, safe, and non-surgical. Because there are no incisions or needles, there is no downtime required. While experiences vary, patients from Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and other nearby cities typically start to notice results just weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic changes appearing within about 3 months.
If you’ve tried just about everything to lose stubborn fat, we know how frustrating it can be. But we also understand that you might not feel ready for surgery, either. Here’s why we think you’ll want to look into CoolSculpting®:
At CPS, CoolSculpting® costs $750 per cycle. This price is discounted when you purchase more areas at once. You will receive a specific price quote after your consultation with one of our providers.
Every procedure has its limitations, and we think it’s best for you to know about them up front. While CoolSculpting® yields excellent results for many people, other treatment options are more appropriate in certain cases:

At Center for Plastic Surgery, you can count on safe treatment in a comfortable, professional environment. We’re known for our expertise in body contouring. Our plastic surgeons and experienced staff have been providing superb care and beautiful results since 1986. Their depth of knowledge in all areas of cosmetic medicine makes them highly qualified to recommend the best treatment for your goals.
In short, neither is the “better” procedure, but each may be better for any one patient, depending on his or her individual body composition and aesthetic goals. CoolSculpting® offers patients a non-surgical option to reduce moderate bulges on their hips, torso or thighs. However, it isn’t a substitute for liposuction.
CoolSculpting® is best for patients who don’t need the degree of sculpting possible with liposuction. It can help refine a body you’ve worked hard to keep trim and healthy. It can also be an excellent option to help reduce fat if you cannot take the time to recover from liposuction.
You will probably be happier with liposuction if you have larger fat deposits and hope to improve your body contours more dramatically. It is also the best option to reduce fat on the neck, face, or other areas that CoolSculpting® cannot address. With liposuction, your plastic surgeon can precisely sculpt your contours while removing excess fat.
Treated fat cells die, are flushed out of the body, and do not grow back. However, it’s important to keep your weight stable, eat right, and exercise in order to maintain your improved contours.
When performed by a trained and experienced provider such as the ones on our team, FDA-cleared CoolSculpting® treatments are safe. The device has multiple safeguards in place to constantly monitor the temperature of the skin, so the cooling only affects your targeted fat deposits.
The number of treatment sessions you will need depends on a variety of factors, including treatment area, amount of fat, and the body’s response. Most patients see improvement with a single treatment and choose to have 2 or more sessions to attain their desired results.
Yes! The belly is one of the most commonly treated areas.
CoolSculpting® is best for people who have good skin elasticity because it is only for fat reduction. J-Plasma and ThermiTight are minimally invasive skin tightening procedures that can complement CoolSculpting results when the skin has mild to moderate laxity. More significant laxity will need to be treated with a surgical procedure such as a tummy tuck or thigh lift. Find out which procedure can achieve your goals during a consultation with one of our experienced providers.
