Heidi Klum, Brooke Shields, and Gwyneth Paltrow are just three celebrities that have fallen in love with the power of CoolSculpting—one of the most in-demand non-invasive treatments at VIDA. CoolSculpting removes small amounts of unwanted fat by freezing it away. Also known as cryolipolysis, today you can get CoolSculpting virtually anywhere you want to contour and sculpt the body, including in very small areas like underneath the chin. Most people require 4 – 6 initial sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. Fat takes some time to be metabolized after being frozen, so full results can be seen six months after your initial treatment. However, you may start to notice your clothes fit better and looser just one month after your first cycle.

As you can imagine, those who prioritize non-invasive procedures are top fans of CoolSculpting, and that includes celebrities. Oftentimes, celebs are also great candidates for CoolSculpting because it is not technically a “weight loss” treatment. You may not see the scale shift at all with CoolSculpting because it is designed for those who are already at (or near) their goal weight. When you are at this level, you may find it a struggle to get rid of that last troublesome area. You can’t spot reduce with diet and exercise, but you can with CoolSculpting.

Who Loves CoolSculpting?

Many people, celebs and non-celebs alike, have shared their CoolSculpting success story—like Toni Braxton who told Allure that she was happy with her results after years of struggling with weight control. Gwyneth Paltrow has also been open about the treatment, saying to Harper’s Bazaar, “I’ve been very blessed to lose weight in a healthy way, through diet and exercise.” However, she’s a fan of CoolSculpting because it “really helps you achieve a really good looking, toned body without all the hard work.” It’s true; with CoolSculpting, you can sit back and relax while the technology does the work for you (though of course it is not a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise regimen).

Paltrow underwent CoolSculpting in the autumn of 2016. She reports that she lost five inches from her waist and six inches from her hips. Plus, she says CoolSculpting helped her skin to stay youthful-looking, too. Another celebrity that has opened up about CoolSculpting is Heidi Klum, who also chose CoolSculpting in 2016. She reported a nine percent overall reduction in body weight, a seven percent reduction in belly fat, and a 4.5 percent reduction in arm circumference. As an added bonus, she says that the procedure was “totally painless” and she’s “so happy with the final results.”

Brooke Shields opted for CoolSculpting in 2017, and her results are comparable to Klum’s. Shields says she lost 10 pounds in total, including three pounds just in the belly. She describes it as “quite gentle,” too. These results may be indicative of what you can achieve with CoolSculpting, especially if you use it as a complement to healthier lifestyle changes. Starting 2023 with CoolSculpting and a commitment to looking and feeling your best is a great way to start the year.

Get Ready for CoolSculpting

It’s important to drink plenty of water before and after CoolSculpting, but beyond that, there is little prep work or after-care. CoolSculpting is a no-downtime treatment that easily fits into lunch schedules. Most sites require just 30 minutes per cycle, but you can also get back-to-back sessions (such as targeting the stomach followed by the upper arms). Mild bruising and swelling may occur for a few days after CoolSculpting, but will dissipate quickly. However, you may want to avoid CoolSculpting in the days before a big event if the site will be visible.

CoolSculpting was a happy accidental discovery in the 1970s. Researchers noticed that kids who ate a lot of frozen treats had less fat in their face than those who didn’t. This was the foundation for cryolipolysis, which debuted in the 1990s. Things have only gotten better since then, with improved technology and more and more hand tools so that CoolSculpting can be used anywhere on the body.
