CoolSculpting in Edina at Skin Rejuvenation Clinic uses CoolSculpting Elite to freeze and destroy stubborn fat cells, reducing the fat in each treated area by about 20 to 25 percent without surgery. A session runs from about 35 minutes to a couple of hours depending on how many areas you treat, most people need 1 to 3 sessions, and you can go right back to your day, with mild swelling or bruising possible for a week or two.
Short version: Expect early changes in about 2 weeks and full results in roughly 2 to 3 months, and the fat cells that were frozen do not come back.
When you’ve been eating right, exercising regularly, and still can’t seem to get rid of stubborn bulges, it can be frustrating. For many people, those “trouble spots” around the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin refuse to budge, no matter how dedicated you are. That’s where CoolSculpting in Edina at Skin Rejuvenation Clinic comes in. This advanced, non-surgical treatment helps you freeze away fat safely and effectively, delivering lasting results without downtime.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis, a precise cooling technology, to target and destroy fat cells beneath the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. Over the weeks following treatment, your body naturally processes and eliminates these frozen fat cells, reducing the thickness of treated areas.
Unlike weight loss, which simply shrinks fat cells, CoolSculpting permanently removes them. Once these fat cells are gone, they won’t come back, giving you a more sculpted and defined look.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?
Consultation
During your consultation, we assess your target areas, discuss your goals, and design a custom CoolSculpting plan.
Application
A specialized applicator is placed on the treatment area to deliver controlled cooling. You may feel a firm pull and intense cold for the first few minutes, but this quickly subsides as the area becomes numb.
Fat Freezing
During a session that runs from about 35 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on how many areas are treated, the cooling process targets and freezes stubborn fat cells without harming skin or surrounding tissue.
Natural Elimination
Over the next 1 to 3 months, your body naturally eliminates the frozen fat cells, revealing a slimmer, more sculpted shape.
What Areas Can CoolSculpting Treat?
CoolSculpting treatment MN is versatile and can be used on multiple parts of the body where stubborn fat tends to accumulate:
- Abdomen (“belly pooch”)
- Flanks/love handles
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back fat and bra bulge
- Under the chin (double chin)
- Beneath the buttocks (“banana roll”)
With our CoolSculpting in Edina, you can address one or more areas in a single session or over multiple visits, depending on your desired results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is best for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have localized areas of fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss treatment, but rather a body contouring solution for targeted fat reduction.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have pinchable fat in one or more problem areas
- You’re in good overall health
- You want to avoid surgery and downtime
- You have realistic expectations about results
If you have several areas to address or your weight has been climbing, CoolSculpting usually works best as the second step rather than the first. Freezing removes about 20 to 25 percent of the fat in a treated area, which reshapes a bulge but does not move the number on the scale in a meaningful way. Skin Rejuvenation Clinic also runs a medically supervised weight management program in Edina, and some patients start there, then book CoolSculpting Elite once they are closer to their goal weight to refine the spots that held on. Planning in that order lets your provider focus on the areas that truly resist diet and exercise, and it protects your result, since the fat cells that remain can still grow if weight comes back.
When Will You See CoolSculpting Results?
After treatment, most patients start to see changes in as little as 2 weeks, with the most dramatic results visible around the 2 to 3 month mark. Your body continues to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment.
Many people choose to schedule additional sessions for enhanced contouring. And because CoolSculpting permanently removes fat cells, results can last indefinitely with a healthy lifestyle.
How Does CoolSculpting Compare to Liposuction?
While liposuction can deliver significant fat removal, it’s a surgical procedure that involves anesthesia, incisions, and recovery time. CoolSculpting, on the other hand, is completely non-surgical, requires no downtime, and allows you to return to daily activities immediately.
At Skin Rejuvenation Clinic, we help you determine whether CoolSculpting or another body contouring option best fits your goals.
Combining CoolSculpting with Other Treatments
For some patients, combining CoolSculpting with other body contouring or skin tightening treatments can produce even better results. We offer options like:
- Skin tightening with advanced laser technology
- Cellulite reduction
- Custom skincare for post-treatment maintenance
Your provider will discuss all options during your consultation to create a plan tailored specifically to your needs.
