Fat Freezing, Explained
What is CoolSculpting in NJ? It's an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that freezes and permanently eliminates stubborn fat — and Nusbaum Medical Centers explains exactly how it works.
At Nusbaum Medical Centers in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, CoolSculpting is delivered under the oversight of Dr. Michael Nusbaum, a board-certified surgeon, FACS FASMBS, who has led medical and aesthetic care in New Jersey for more than 25 years. If you're researching the treatment, this guide covers the essentials so you can decide with confidence.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis — controlled cooling — to freeze fat cells to a temperature that destroys them, while leaving skin and surrounding tissue unharmed. Over the following weeks, your body naturally clears the dead cells, and they don't return. A single session can reduce fat in a treated area by roughly 20–25%.
What CoolSculpting Treats
- Belly, flanks and lower back
- Thighs, double chin and arms
- Bra line, banana roll and male chest
- Stubborn, pinchable fat near your goal weight

What Is CoolSculpting? NJ Guide: Frequently Asked Questions
What is CoolSculpting and how does it work?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to freeze and destroy fat cells. Your body then clears them naturally over several weeks, and they don't return.
Is CoolSculpting permanent?
Yes. The fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting are gone for good. To maintain your result, keep a stable weight, since remaining fat cells can still enlarge with significant weight gain.
What does CoolSculpting feel like?
You'll feel intense cold and some tugging for the first few minutes as the area numbs, then little to nothing. There are no needles or anesthesia, and you can read or work during treatment.
How long until I see CoolSculpting results?
Results begin around three weeks, with the most dramatic change at two to three months as your body clears the treated fat cells.
Is CoolSculpting a weight-loss treatment?
No. CoolSculpting is for sculpting stubborn, pinchable fat in people near their goal weight. For significant weight loss, Dr. Nusbaum may recommend a medical or surgical weight-loss program first.
