The Final Touch
In a town like Santa Monica, there's an unspoken expectation to look your best around the clock. But you can be at a perfectly healthy body weight and still have stubborn pockets of fat that make your clothes fit weird. It’s a specialized kind of frustration. Coolsculpting isn't a weight loss solution for your whole life, it's a precision body contouring procedure for those specific areas that refuse to budge, no matter how many miles you run.
Chill Out
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat freezing method built on a process called cryolipolysis, and the science is actually pretty simple: fat cells hate the cold. By applying controlled cooling to a treatment area, we freeze fat cells until they die. But your skin and muscle? They’re perfectly fine. Over the next few months, your body naturally flushes the dead cells out. Permanent fat reduction. No surgery.
Scalpel-Free Sculpting
The best part is the lack of downtime. It’s FDA-approved and generally considered safe, so you don't have to worry about the risks that come with liposuction or plastic surgery. You get visible results without a hospital gown. And once the cells are gone from the treated area, they don’t come back.
For the People Doing the Work
A good candidate is someone already living a healthy lifestyle who just has a few stubborn pockets. This isn’t about a total body overhaul. It's about body sculpting. We look for patients who are close to their goal weight but want to treat specific areas of the body.
Our Targets
The Jawline
We target the submental area to delete a double chin. We use specialized CoolSculpting applicators to sharpen your profile. No needles. Just a better angle for your next photo.
The Midsection
The abdomen and flanks are the usual targets. It’s the most effective way to smooth out a midsection that feels stuck.
Thighs
Whether you want to slim the inner thighs or smooth the outer thighs, we can address both. We’ll determine the best approach for optimal results.
The Odds and Ends
This works for bra fat, upper arms, and even banana rolls (that annoying pocket right under the glutes). If it's a stubborn pocket of fat, we can probably freeze it.
The Strategy
No two bodies are the same. We don’t do the one-size-fits-all body contouring thing. Your personalized treatment plan starts with a consultation at our Santa Monica office. We’ll check the subcutaneous fat in your target areas and decide how many CoolSculpting sessions you’ll actually need.
The Cool Down
During your treatment session, the applicator suctions the fat between the cooling panels. You’ll experience sensations of intense cold, pulling, and tugging for about five minutes. But once you go numb? Most patients just relax, catch up on emails, or listen to a podcast.
No Lag Time
There’s no downtime. You can go straight back to normal activities. You might feel some minor swelling, bruising, or a dull ache in the treated area, but it rarely stops anyone’s day. Unlike other procedures, you won't need weeks to heal.
Patience Makes Perfect
Patience is the only catch. Your body needs time to flush those cells through your lymphatic system. You’ll start seeing a difference in about a month. Optimal results usually appear around the three-month mark. It’s a natural transition.
What You're Getting
The CoolSculpting cost depends on how many areas we hit. We provide a clear breakdown during your consultation so you can decide what works for your budget. It’s a long-term investment in your confidence.
The Best In The Business
You could go to a factory-style clinic in Beverly Hills, but we’ve brought that level of expertise to Santa Monica. Our team stays current on current treatment paradigms to make sure you're safe. No ego. Just precision.

Yes, it’s an FDA-approved non-surgical procedure. We screen for rare conditions like paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria before we start to make sure you're a fit.
Most patients experience temporary swelling, redness, or sensitivity. Rare adverse events like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) are documented in less than 1% of cases according to a systematic review.
While the treated fat cells are gone, the remaining ones can still expand if you gain weight. A healthy diet is the best way to maintain your results.
While a single session helps, many patients opt for two or three coolsculpting sessions to hit their desired results. We’ll decide on the right number together during your consult.
Not at all. You’ll feel some intense cold and pressure for the first few minutes, but it’s a completely non-invasive experience.
