CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring treatment to help individuals get rid of stubborn diet- and exercise-resistant fat. It is not a weight-loss method. The procedure is recommended for those who are close to their ideal weight yet still have a few inches of fat they would like to eliminate. The cost of CoolSculpting varies based on the treatment area, the number of treatments, the provider you choose, and your location.
CoolSculpting uses cooling technology to freeze away fat cells that are then eliminated from the body. Once the fat cells are eliminated, the result is a reduction in fat, or inches, in the treatment areas. The good news? Once the fat cells are eliminated, they’re gone for good.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
CoolSculpting is considered an elective cosmetic procedure. In other words, it isn’t considered a medically necessary procedure by health insurance providers. Therefore, it is not covered by insurance. Those who opt to get CoolSculpting are responsible for the costs out-of-pocket. As a result, it’s understandable that a common question is, “How much is CoolSculpting?”
Choosing CoolSculpting for fat loss is an investment many people make in themselves to achieve the body and physique they desire while also meeting their health and fat loss goals. As previously mentioned, the cost of CoolSculpting varies based on the treatment area and the number of treatments. It is common for individuals to purchase CoolSculpting treatments for multiple areas to reach desired end results. One to two CoolSculpting treatments is commonly recommended per area.
In addition to the size of the treatment area and the number of treatments, CoolSculpting costs can vary based on your location and the provider you choose. If you live in an area with a higher cost of living, for example, you’ll likely pay more for your treatment when compared to someone living in an area with a lower cost of living.
It’s also possible to save on your CoolSculpting treatment through the Allē program offered by Allergan, the creator of CoolSculpting.

At DermaTouch RN, the cost of CoolSculpting starts at $800 per cycle, and multiple cycles are generally required. We also offer package deals for multiple treatment areas. You can also apply for Medical Spa financing through CareCredit or United Medical Credit to cover CoolSculpting treatments, so you don’t have to pay for the entire treatment out-of-pocket upfront. The healthcare financing company will determine the amount of financing you receive based on your credit history and additional factors.
Your CoolSculpting provider will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your fat loss goals and budget. The smaller the area being treated, the lower your total cost will be compared to the cost for larger treatment areas.
What areas can CoolSculpting treat?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to treat nine areas of the body. The stomach is a very common treatment area. Other treatment areas include the arms (no more “bye-bye arm”), the outer and inner thighs, the waist, under the chin (adios double chin!), and under the jawline. CoolSculpting is also cleared to treat back fat, bra fat, and fat underneath the buttocks (aka banana rolls).
Questions to ask about your treatment
When you meet with your CoolSculpting practitioner to discuss your treatment plan and pricing, be sure to get clarity on what is included. If you’re having the thighs treated, have you been quoted the price of CoolSculpting per thigh or the total cost to treat both thighs? What about the arms? How many treatments will you need for each area being treated? Are there any discounts offered for additional treatment areas? Does the provider have before and after pictures of their results?
Cost of CoolSculpting for the stomach
The stomach is one of the most common CoolSculpting treatment areas. It is common to have two treatments for the stomach. On average, you can expect to pay between $1600 and $3500 per treatment.
Cost of CoolSculpting for the arms
The arms are some of the smaller treatment areas of the body. However, both arms need to be treated. The cost to treat both arms can be between $1500 and $3500.
Timing of CoolSculpting results
CoolSculpting results are typically visible one to three months after treatment. Final results can take up to six months to be visible for some. As with any treatment, results vary between patients. It’s common for individuals to see a 20% to 25% reduction of fat in treated areas after one treatment.
For those who maintain healthy lifestyle habits, results are long-lasting. However, it is possible to gain weight after a CoolSculpting treatment if healthy habits are not maintained. CoolSculpting helps to eliminate unwanted stubborn fat. It does not change the size of fat cells, which is what happens when someone gains and loses weight; when someone gains weight, their fat cells are increasing in size, and when someone loses weight, their fat cells are decreasing in size.
CoolSculpting is safe and effective
Millions of CoolSculpting treatments have been performed around the world. It has been proven safe and effective through clinical trials. The treatment also received the NewBeauty award for “Best Noninvasive Fat Eliminator” for six years in a row. CoolSculpting requires no needles, no anesthesia, and no downtime.
Generally speaking, individuals report little to no discomfort during a CoolSculpting treatment. Individuals might feel cooling and tugging sensations. Many read, work on their computers, or rest during their CoolSculpting treatment.
