CoolSculpting® in Orland Park & Elmhurst, IL

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive treatment that sculpts and tightens the body by freezing unwanted fat cells. The procedure uses monitored cooling (cryolipolysis) to freeze and eliminate fat cells, which can help tone and contour the body. At JEM Medspa our skilled team uses advanced CoolSculpting to help you attain your cosmetic and health goals. Please schedule an appointment and learn more about CoolSculpting. We are dedicated to helping you enhance your natural beauty.

For our patients who are ready to transform areas of extra fat tissue that are resistant to other types of approaches, such as diet and exercise, CoolSculpting at JEM Medspa is an effective treatment choice to try with several benefits. Some of these advantages include:

• Proven fat loss
• Little to no downtime following the treatment
• Comfortable procedures
• Desired results in about 8 – 12 weeks after your final treatment
• The ability to be used on many areas of the body

Even though this innovative technique is safe and effective for most women and men of all age groups, those likely to benefit from CoolSculpting include:

• Patients at or near their ideal weight
• Patients who have stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to natural weight loss efforts
• Patients who are not ideal candidates for more invasive procedures
• Patients who have realistic expectations for the results of their treatment

CoolSculpting candidates should not have chronic pain conditions or lymphatic issues.

During your consultation with one of our skilled team members, we will discuss your goals and tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your needs. Once we have completed your consultation, we will take you back to one of our spacious treatment rooms and ask you to relax on a comfortable chair. Next, a gel pad and the CoolSculpting handpiece is placed on the treatment area. The specialized handpiece will emit cryolipolysis or cooling technology to target and freeze the fat. You will likely feel a cooling sensation, but typically, this does not cause any pain. Because the applicator uses suction to pull the targeted fat cells toward the treatment area, you will feel a slight pulling or stinging, but these are completely normal feelings.

Since the CoolSculpting is nonsurgical, you can return to daily activities following your treatment. Side effects of the procedure usually include stinging, redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness near the treatment site. In the next couple of days, these symptoms should subside on their own. Generally, patients will notice results after three weeks. You should experience optimal results within 1 – 3 months after your CoolSculpting treatment. To achieve your desired results, we will help you determine how many follow-up treatments you may need.

CoolSculpting pricing can vary depending on the number of areas treated, the size of those areas, and how many sessions are needed to achieve your desired results. Because each treatment plan is personalized, the total cost is based on the scope of treatment rather than a standard flat fee. Many people appreciate that CoolSculpting allows for gradual, targeted fat reduction without surgery, and treatment plans can often be adjusted over time based on your progress and goals. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your areas of concern and recommend a plan designed specifically for you.

Our knowledgeable finance and billing team is available to walk you through pricing details and help you explore flexible payment options that fit your needs. To learn more about the cost of CoolSculpting and receive a customized estimate, we encourage you to contact our team and schedule your consultation.

How much fat can I lose with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is designed for targeted fat reduction, not overall weight loss. Each treatment can reduce a noticeable portion of fat in a specific area, which can make a meaningful difference in contour and how your clothes fit, even if the number on the scale does not change dramatically. Most patients use CoolSculpting to refine stubborn areas that have not responded to diet and exercise. Our team will evaluate your goals and help you understand what kind of change is realistic for your body and whether multiple sessions may be beneficial.

Is CoolSculpting permanent?

Yes, the fat cells treated with CoolSculpting are permanently eliminated from the body. Once those cells are gone, they do not come back. That said, your body still has remaining fat cells, and those can expand if your weight increases. Because of this, maintaining a stable weight plays an important role in preserving your results. Our team focuses on creating a treatment plan that fits into your lifestyle so your outcome feels sustainable, not temporary.

What if I gain weight after CoolSculpting?

If you gain weight after treatment, the treated area will still have fewer fat cells than before, but the remaining cells in your body can enlarge. This may soften the contour that was created, especially if weight gain is significant. Many patients still maintain an improved shape compared to where they started, but consistency with your habits helps protect your results. Our team can talk through what to expect and how to maintain your outcome over time.

Do you feel anything during CoolSculpting?

At the start of treatment, you will feel a noticeable cold sensation along with some pulling or pressure as the applicator is placed. Within a few minutes, the area typically becomes numb, and most patients settle in comfortably for the remainder of the session. It is not unusual to read, scroll on your phone, or simply relax during treatment. Our team will make sure you are positioned comfortably and check in throughout to ensure everything feels manageable.

What should I know about CoolSculpting for men?

CoolSculpting is a popular option for men who want to reduce stubborn fat without surgery, particularly in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and under the chin. The goal is not to change your overall build, but to refine and sharpen your natural contours in a way that still looks masculine. Treatment plans are tailored differently depending on body shape and goals. Our team will assess your target areas and design an approach that fits your frame and expectations.

Should I lose weight before CoolSculpting treatment?

CoolSculpting works best for patients who are already close to their ideal weight but have specific areas that are resistant to change. It is not intended as a weight loss solution, but rather a way to fine-tune your shape. If you are actively working toward a weight goal, it may make sense to get closer to that point first for the most consistent results. Our team will help you decide on the right timing so your treatment aligns with your overall goals.
