Who is suitable for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is straightforward and brings lasting results — but not for everyone. Using simple criteria, we show you whether fat reduction by cold suits you or whether another method would be better.
- Close to your ideal weight
- Localised fat deposits
- Result after up to 3 months
- Honest assessment
We establish that at a consultation without obligation — with an examination and an honest recommendation.
CoolSculpting is ideal if …
CoolSculpting suits women and men who are close to their ideal weight — less than eleven kilograms above it — and have firm, localised fat deposits that remain despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is a body-contouring method, not a weight-loss method.
- … you are close to your ideal weight. CoolSculpting works best when you are less than 11 kilograms from your ideal weight.
- … you have firm, localised fat deposits. Typical areas are the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms and back.
- … you have realistic expectations. The treated fat cells are removed permanently; you can still gain weight elsewhere.
- … you are patient. It can take up to three months until the final result is visible.
The right fat deposit
CoolSculpting works on the fat directly beneath the skin that you can pinch between your fingers. That is exactly what we check at the examination; during treatment the applicator draws this fat deposit in and cools it in a targeted way.
This is the very fat that often hides muscle contours, for example on the abdomen. The less fat there is to begin with, the more likely the contours are to show after treatment.
CoolSculpting may not be suitable if …
CoolSculpting is not suitable in cases of severe overweight, when excess skin is the main concern, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and with certain rare conditions such as cryoglobulinaemia or Raynaud’s disease.
- … you are severely overweight. CoolSculpting is not intended as a weight-loss method.
- … you want your skin tightened. CoolSculpting reduces fat deposits beneath the skin but does not tighten excess skin.
- … certain health conditions apply. With cryoglobulinaemia or Raynaud’s disease, CoolSculpting may not be suitable (rare).
- … you are pregnant or breastfeeding. CoolSculpting can be considered again afterwards.
- … your expectations are unrealistic. CoolSculpting is not a miracle cure, and not every body responds in the same way.

Frequently asked questions about suitability
Who is suitable for CoolSculpting?
Women and men close to their ideal weight — less than eleven kilograms above it — with firm, localised fat deposits that remain despite a healthy diet and exercise.
Can I lose weight with CoolSculpting?
No. CoolSculpting is a body-contouring method, not a weight-loss method. If you are severely overweight, we first recommend a change of diet with endurance training.
Does CoolSculpting tighten the skin?
No. CoolSculpting reduces fat deposits beneath the skin but does not tighten excess skin. If the skin is slack, a lift is the appropriate method.
Which areas can be treated?
Typical areas are the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms and back; CoolSculpting can also be used on the buttocks. We treat a double chin with liposuction.
When must CoolSculpting not be performed?
During pregnancy and breastfeeding and with certain conditions such as cryoglobulinaemia or Raynaud’s disease. If in doubt, we clarify this at the consultation.
Is CoolSculpting suitable for men?
Yes. In men, the abdomen and the “love handles” on the flanks are the most common areas.
How long does it take to see the result?
The first changes appear after three to four weeks. It can take up to three months until the final result is visible.
What if I am not suitable?
Then we tell you so honestly and show you which route is better — for example liposuction for larger fat deposits or a lift for excess skin.
