Coolsculpting® Cryolipolysis
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
CoolSculpting® Cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as CoolSculpting, is a non-invasive fat reduction technique that utilizes controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells in targeted areas. Developed through years of research, this procedure specifically focuses on fat cells beneath the skin without affecting surrounding tissue. CoolSculpting works by applying controlled cooling to fat deposits, which causes the fat cells to crystallize and break down. Over time, the body naturally processes and removes these dead fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted appearance. The technique is popular in areas where fat tends to be resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms.
The science behind CoolSculpting is grounded in cryolipolysis, a process in which fat cells are frozen and subsequently destroyed. Fat cells are more susceptible to cold than other cell types, which allows CoolSculpting to selectively target fat without causing harm to the skin or other tissues. This technology has been recognized as safe and effective by major health regulatory organizations around the world, leading to its popularity as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
During a CoolSculpting session, a trained professional uses specialized applicators to deliver controlled cooling to the targeted areas. The process begins with an assessment to determine the best areas to treat. Once identified, the CoolSculpting device suctions the area into the applicator and applies cold temperatures, prompting fat cells to freeze and die. The body's lymphatic system then naturally expels these cells over time, gradually revealing a slimmer physique.
Procedure Duration
CoolSculpting treatments are relatively quick, with sessions often lasting between 35 to 60 minutes per area. Many patients opt to treat multiple areas during one appointment, which can extend the total treatment time but also helps achieve a more comprehensive outcome. Since CoolSculpting is non-invasive, no anesthesia or incisions are required, making it an attractive option for those seeking a “lunchtime procedure” that allows them to return to their daily routines afterward.
Following each session, the body's natural metabolic processes start breaking down and flushing out the frozen fat cells. This process continues for several weeks, with most patients seeing noticeable results within two to three months after treatment. While individual results vary, many patients benefit from one to two sessions per area, depending on the desired outcome and the professional’s assessment.
Recovery from CoolSculpting is minimal, with most patients returning to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site, but these effects are generally temporary. The non-invasive nature of CoolSculpting makes it ideal for individuals who seek body contouring without the downtime and potential complications associated with surgery.

Risks & Considerations
- Temporary Side Effects: Common side effects include redness, bruising, and numbness in the treated area, which typically subside within days to weeks.
- Delayed Results: Unlike surgical fat removal, CoolSculpting results take time to appear, as the body naturally eliminates fat cells over weeks.
- Individual Results May Vary: While many patients see good results, individual outcomes can differ based on body type, metabolism, and the treated area.
- Not a Weight-Loss Solution: CoolSculpting is designed for body contouring, not significant weight loss, and is most effective on individuals close to their ideal weight.
- Potential for Uneven Results: In rare cases, patients may experience asymmetry or contour irregularities, particularly if the treatment is not performed by a skilled provider.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When selecting a provider for CoolSculpting, look for board-certified professionals with extensive experience in non-invasive body contouring. Reviewing patient testimonials, checking before-and-after photos, and verifying the facility’s certification are essential steps to ensure a qualified provider. Medical tourism facilitators often assist in connecting patients with reputable clinics, but it is advisable to conduct independent research as well.
Additionally, inquire about the technology used in the clinic, as CoolSculpting applicators and machines are continually updated. Facilities that use the latest equipment may offer a better experience and more accurate results. By ensuring your provider meets these criteria, you can help ensure a safe and effective CoolSculpting treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
