Non-Surgical Fat Reduction at Pinski Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery – A VitalSkin Dermatology Affiliate
If stubborn fat resists your best diet and exercise efforts, CoolSculpting® at Pinski Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery offers a clinically proven way to contour your body without surgery or downtime. Our Chicago team uses advanced CoolSculpting technology to safely target and freeze unwanted fat cells, helping you achieve a slimmer, more defined shape—naturally and effectively.
Whether you’re looking to refine your abdomen, thighs, or jawline, our board-certified dermatologists deliver customized care that aligns with your body goals.
CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared treatment that eliminates fat cells through controlled cooling, a process known as cryolipolysis. The treatment targets fat layers beneath the skin without damaging surrounding tissue, resulting in gradual, natural-looking fat reduction.
We tailor every session to your body’s contours and fat distribution. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, double chin, and bra line. Patients typically see results within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as the body metabolizes the frozen fat cells.
Our CoolSculpting® treatments use targeted cooling technology to eliminate stubborn fat without surgery or downtime safely. Each treatment option is designed to contour specific areas of the body, helping you achieve a smoother, more sculpted appearance that looks natural and long-lasting.
CoolSculpting works through a scientifically proven process called cryolipolysis, which uses controlled cooling to precisely target and freeze stubborn fat cells beneath the skin’s surface without affecting surrounding tissue. Once these fat cells are crystallized, they die naturally and are gradually processed and eliminated by the body over the following weeks.
At Pinski Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, each session begins with a detailed consultation to identify the best treatment areas and applicators for your goals. During the procedure, a gel pad and applicator are placed on the targeted area to ensure proper contact and protection. You may experience sensations of pulling, cooling, or mild pressure that fade as the area becomes numb within the first few minutes.
The treatment typically lasts 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the area and the number of zones treated. Most patients find the procedure relaxing—many read, work remotely, or rest during the session. Afterward, our clinicians perform a brief massage to enhance fat cell breakdown and optimize results.
Because CoolSculpting is non-invasive, there’s no downtime or anesthesia required. You can immediately return to your normal routine, whether that means going back to work, exercising, or running errands. Over the next few weeks, as the body flushes out the frozen fat cells, you’ll notice a slimmer, more defined contour with natural-looking results that continue to improve for up to three months.
Our board-certified dermatologists perform every CoolSculpting® treatment with precision and care to ensure natural, lasting results.
Our reputation is built on expertise, innovation, and genuine patient relationships, reflected in our 4.9-star rating and hundreds of positive patient reviews.
What Results Will I See?
Results appear gradually as your body naturally eliminates frozen fat cells over the following weeks. Once those cells are gone, they don’t come back, leaving a lasting improvement in contour and a smoother, more sculpted appearance.
What Downtime Will Be Needed?
CoolSculpting requires little to no downtime, so most people return to work or normal activities right away. You might notice mild redness, tingling, or swelling, but these temporary effects fade quickly as your body adjusts.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
You may be a great candidate if you have stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is ideal for refining body contours, not for weight loss, and your provider will confirm your eligibility during consultation.
How Much Does CoolSculpting Cost?
Treatment cost depends on the number of areas treated, the size of each zone, and how many sessions are needed. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your goals, your body, and your budget.
