CoolSculpting in Bellevue | SageMED
Non-surgical fat reduction with cryolipolysis
FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring at SageMED in Bellevue that uses controlled cooling to reduce stubborn fat cells. Performed by Dr. Hilla Asadi for targeted, natural-looking results.
FDA-cleared: Safe, proven cryolipolysis technology with no incisions or surgery.
Minimal downtime: Return to normal activities soon after treatment in most cases.
Targeted areas: Abdomen, flanks, thighs, chin, arms, and other treatable areas.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting® uses cryolipolysis, a process that applies controlled cooling to fat cells beneath the skin. These cooled fat cells are gradually processed by the body over time.
Because results develop progressively, the change is typically seen over several weeks to months, with outcomes varying by individual and treatment area.
Note: CoolSculpting is designed for body contouring and localized fat reduction. It is not a weight-loss treatment.
What Areas Can CoolSculpting Treat?
CoolSculpting® is commonly used to treat:
- Abdomen and stomach
- Flanks (love handles)
- Submental area (chin and jawline)
- Upper arms
- Inner and outer thighs
- Back and bra line area
- Under buttocks (banana roll)
Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting may be a good fit if you:
- Have stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond well to diet and exercise
- Are near your goal weight and want more definition in specific areas
- Prefer a non-surgical option with minimal disruption to your routine
- Want a clinician-guided plan with realistic expectations
Who Should Talk to a Clinician First?
A consultation is important if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have a history of certain cold-related medical conditions
- Have skin irritation, open wounds, or an active infection in the treatment area
- Are unsure whether your concern is best treated with CoolSculpting or another option
What to Expect From Your CoolSculpting Treatment
Before Treatment
- A consultation to confirm candidacy and select the best applicator
- Photos may be taken to track progress
- You’ll review your treatment plan and goals with your provider
During Treatment
- Most sessions take about 35–45 minutes per area
- You may feel intense cold, pressure, pulling, or tingling at first, which usually eases as the area numbs
- Many patients relax, read, or watch videos during treatment
After Treatment
- No downtime for most people
- Temporary redness, swelling, numbness, bruising, or tenderness can occur
- Your provider may recommend follow-up to track progress and discuss next steps
When Will I See Results?
Results develop gradually as the body processes treated fat cells.
- Some people notice changes as early as 3–4 weeks
- More visible changes often appear around 2–3 months
- The body may continue to clear treated fat cells for up to 6 months
Your provider will help you set expectations based on the treatment area, goals, and number of cycles recommended.
Risks and Side Effects
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared and widely performed, but side effects can happen. Common temporary effects include:
- Redness, swelling, bruising
- Numbness, tingling, or tenderness
- Firmness or soreness in the treated area
Rare risk: paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), where fat tissue can enlarge rather than shrink in a treated area. Your provider will review risks and suitability during your consultation.

What does CoolSculpting feel like?
During the first few minutes, you may feel cold, pressure, tingling, or pulling. The area often becomes numb, and most people find the session comfortable enough to relax.
How much fat reduction can I expect?
Outcomes vary by person, area, and treatment plan. Many people see a noticeable reduction in the treated area after the body clears the targeted fat cells over time. Your provider will guide you on the number of cycles that may help meet your goals.
How much does CoolSculpting cost?
Pricing depends on the area treated and the number of applicator cycles needed. The best way to get an accurate quote is to schedule a free consultation so we can build a plan based on your goals.
Does CoolSculpting hurt?
Most people describe it as uncomfortable at first due to cold and pressure, then more tolerable once the area numbs. Temporary soreness afterward can occur.
How long do CoolSculpting results last?
The treated fat cells are reduced in the treated area, and results can be long-lasting. Maintaining results depends on overall lifestyle, since remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain.
Is CoolSculpting a weight-loss treatment?
No. CoolSculpting is intended for body contouring and localized fat reduction, not overall weight loss.
