Stubborn Fat
It’s called stubborn fat for a reason – no matter how much effort you put into eating healthily and exercising, you don’t see results. It’s virtually impossible to lose that muffin top or those love handles, so you’re forced to live with it or consider surgery. We wanted to change that, which is why we introduced CoolSculpting®. Developed by Harvard scientists, our unique, patented FDA-cleared procedure involves freezing fat cells without damaging your skin. There are no knives, no suction hoses, no needles and no lasers. After your treatment, you can carry on with your busy day.Say ‘hello’ to you!
Typically, you will see a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area after just one visit. Even more can be lost with additional appointments if you and your clinician deem it necessary. The fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body over the following months, leaving you feeling more like yourself again. You’ll also immediately notice your clothes fit better. The procedure is completely non-surgical and there’s usually no downtime whatsoever unless reading a book or checking emails during the appointment counts as downtime! Providing you maintain your weight with a controlled diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable, keeping you looking like you want to.Is it for you?
If exercise isn’t doing enough and liposuction surgery sounds too extreme, consider freezing your fat with CoolSculpting. The treatment can help sculpt the body you want by using a precisely-controlled mechanism to freeze the fat cells that get safely absorbed by your body, known as cryolipolysis. Like liposuction, CoolSculpting permanently eliminates your fat cells, but with the added benefit of being non-surgical and non-invasive.Great Results
Zeltiq® (CoolSculpting) has been featured on medical talk show Dr Oz and the Doctors and is a great alternative to surgical procedures including laser lipo and smart lipo. Treatments typically take around 60 minutes or less per area. The best results are seen in patients with a BMI (body mass index) under 30 and without excess skin folds. With no follow-up pills or supplements, the results should remain stable, lasting for many years when combined with a healthy, controlled diet and exercise.
Upper arm fat reduction
A common problem area treated at Tracey Bell is the upper arms. Some clients report that this has always been a problem and that ‘fat arms run in the family’. Others mention they noticed the problem after gaining weight, and no longer feel comfortable wearing sleeveless shirts. With CoolSculpting, we can reduce arm fat, give a more defined contour and give clients their confidence back.
CoolMini: chin, knees and armpit fat
A game changer in treatment for fat under the chin and knees, the Tracey Bell clinics are one of the first to offer this new, innovative CoolMini applicator to our patients. It has been created to treat more troublesome areas, including double chins, front and inner bra fat and knee fat. You will be able to see the difference in just eight weeks, with optimum results seen in 12-14 weeks.
CoolSmooth
CoolSmooth by CoolSculpting is the first clinically proven flat applicator designed to treat non-pinchable areas of fat, which can be adjusted for each individual patient. This non-surgical procedure is highly effective in selectively targeting fat cells, and can be used on a number of areas of the body.
CoolSmooth targets and freezes fat in the desired area in just one treatment, making it a more affordable alternative to surgery. It is a great solution for patients who want to remove stubborn bulges and contour their belly, hips, flanks and thighs in a quick treatment which requires no downtime or change to their regular routine.
CoolAdvantage
CoolAdvantage uses revolutionary applicator design and colder temperatures to deliver highly effective treatment in a shorter time, as little as 35 minutes. The new applicator cup shape also increases patient comfort during treatment.
With CoolFit Advantage, we can treat inner thighs by freezing the fat in the upper area, giving you the thigh gap you’ve always wanted. CoolCore Advantage is our most commonly used applicator, suitable to be used on almost every patient to contour the abs.
CoolPetite
CoolPetite is the perfect applicator for blasting small areas of stubborn fat and giving a more sculpted and youthful look. It freezes the fat cells so the body can process them naturally. It is particularly effective on underarm fat, and the small pockets of fat that won’t go away around the arms, knees and back of the thighs.
CoolPetite treatment takes around 35 minutes and the results are visible 4-6 weeks after treatment. The treatment is completely non-invasive and a great option for patients who are not keen on injections but wish to remove stubborn fat that will not budge through diet and exercise alone.
Cool Plus
Cool Plus is a very versatile applicator which can be used to treat pinchable areas of fat on the abdomen, hips, arms and male chests. It can also be used effectively to treat belly hangovers.
With Cool Plus, larger areas can be treated, allowing for maximum fat reduction. We can freeze fat in 45 minutes, targeting fat before sculpting and contouring can begin.
CoolSculpting is a highly successful treatment for reducing fat. The introduction of the CoolMini, a game-changer in aesthetics in fat reduction, allows us to treat areas such as the chin and knees with great success.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Is coolsculpting right for me?
- CoolSculpting is most effective for patients who have a healthy diet and exercise regularly but have stubborn areas of fat they would like to get rid of.

- Is coolsculpting right for me?
- Does coolsculpting last?
- The treatment results are permanent when you take good care of your health. Once the fat cells are frozen, they die and disintegrate and are naturally flushed from the body. The human body has a fixed number of fat cells, so it is impossible to regenerate new ones after some have been killed off.

- How should i prepare for coolsculpting?

- What should I expect during & after coolsculpting?
When you arrive, the specialist clinician will ensure you are comfortable and relaxed before placing the applicator and gel pad on the desired area of your body. You may feel a slight suctioning before an intense cold sensation, but will not experience any pain. The targeted area will quickly go numb as the procedure continues. Once the cycle is completed, your clinician will massage the treated area. This may feel uncomfortable, but only lasts a few minutes and helps speed up the disintegration of fat cells.
After your appointment, you will experience some tenderness and swelling, but this goes away within a week and you can continue with your normal daily activities. You will see natural-looking, gradual fat loss over the next three weeks to three months. This gives your skin time to adjust and ensures no loose or sagging skin.
