CoolSculpting New Windsor, NY
Non-Surgical Fat Reduction by a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
If you’ve struggled with stubborn fat around your abdomen, thighs, arms, or beneath the chin—despite proper diet and exercise—CoolSculpting at The Med Spa by Futalo Aesthetics may offer the solution you’ve been seeking. This revolutionary non surgical body contouring treatment, commonly referred to as CoolSculpting, safely targets persistent fat without surgery, incisions, or downtime.
CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure designed for body contouring and fat reduction; it is not a weight-loss solution.
Our center, led by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jonathan Fugo, is the only full-service plastic surgery and medical aesthetics provider in the Hudson Valley and Tri-State area to offer CoolSculpting directly performed by a plastic surgeon. The procedure is performed in a doctor’s office setting under the supervision of a board-certified plastic surgeon. While our plastic surgeon brings extensive expertise, specialists in dermatologic surgery may also perform similar procedures, highlighting the importance of medical supervision for optimal patient safety and results. You can trust you’re receiving expert, patient-centered care, precision, and body-sculpting guidance based on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle, with a strong focus on patient care throughout your experience.
Understanding Stubborn Fat
Even healthy individuals can be genetically predisposed to retain fat in hard-to-lose areas like the lower abdomen, flanks, or under the chin. These regions often contain exercise resistant fat and unwanted fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. Age-related metabolic slowdown, sedentary work routines, or dietary choices can further contribute to these resistant areas. For many, the appearance of a fatty bulge can impact confidence and motivation—especially when your fitness habits aren’t reflected in your shape.
CoolSculpting offers a clinically proven, non-invasive solution using cryolipolysis, or fat-freezing technology, to safely eliminate targeted fat cells.
Our Approach: Expert Care with Full-Body Contouring Insight
At The Med Spa by Futalo Aesthetics, CoolSculpting treatments are performed exclusively by Dr. Jonathan Fugo—an experienced plastic surgeon and skilled cosmetic surgeon with expertise in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, and deep knowledge of body composition and contouring. Unlike many med spas that offer only non-surgical options, we provide both surgical and non-surgical solutions. This gives our patients the advantage of objective, comprehensive treatment planning.
The cryolipolysis procedure, used in CoolSculpting, is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that involves applying a specialized applicator to the target area, using vacuum suction to draw in tissue, delivering controlled cooling to freeze fat cells, and finishing with a post-procedure massage to enhance results.
Dr. Fugo will help you understand all available treatment options for body contouring, both surgical and non-surgical—from CoolSculpting to liposuction, as well as deoxycholic acid (such as FDA-approved Kybella® injectable treatments for submental fat reduction)—and create a strategy tailored to your goals, anatomy, and expectations.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting works by using cold temperature to freeze fat cells beneath the skin. The intense cold temperature causes fat cells to freeze and be selectively destroyed, while sparing other cells and surrounding tissues. When exposed to cold temperature, fat cells begin to crystallize and break down, initiating the fat reduction process. The treatment area is precisely targeted so that only the fat beneath the skin and fatty tissues are affected. As fat cells freeze, the cold temperatures injure the fat cells in the treated area, leading to fat cells destroyed through a natural inflammatory response. Over the next few weeks, your body gradually eliminates dead fat cells from the treated area via the lymphatic system, resulting in gradual fat reduction and a more sculpted silhouette. On average, patients can expect an average fat reduction of about 20-25% in the treatment area after one or more sessions.
Most patients notice results as early as 3 weeks post-treatment, with CoolSculpting results continuing to improve over several months.
Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting can effectively reduce fat in the following targeted areas, which are the most common regions treated with this procedure:
- Submental region (double chin)
- Abdomen and flanks (love handles, muffin top)
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Arms
- Back and bra fat
- Hips and lower buttocks (banana roll)
What to Expect
CoolSculpting is:
- Non-invasive
- Performed in-office
- Completed in as little as 35 minutes per area during a CoolSculpting session
- Minimal to no downtime or recovery time
During a CoolSculpting session, a gel pad is applied to protect the skin, and a handheld device is used to deliver controlled cooling to the targeted area. Some patients may experience temporary numbness in the treated area, which typically resolves on its own. Mild skin tightening can also occur as a secondary benefit.
There are generally no significant activity restrictions after treatment, and you may return to your daily routine immediately following treatment. Multiple treatment sessions may be needed for optimal results, depending on the area being treated and your individual goals.
Is CoolSculpting Right for You?
CoolSculpting is ideal for individuals who are already maintaining a healthy lifestyle but have localized subcutaneous fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Suitable candidates for CoolSculpting are those with visible pockets of subcutaneous fat that can be targeted by this nonsurgical fat reduction procedure. It is not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body-sculpting treatment for defined areas. While CoolSculpting can reduce fat in treated areas, patients can still gain weight if they do not maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure. CoolSculpting is minimally invasive compared to traditional surgical procedures, offering fat reduction without surgery or significant downtime.
During your consultation, Dr. Fugo will assess your goals and discuss all available procedures to determine the most effective approach—whether that’s CoolSculpting or a surgical option. Weight gain after CoolSculpting can diminish the results, so maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is important to preserve the benefits.
