CoolSculpting Fat Reduction in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
You exercise and eat right, but some stubborn bulges just won’t budge. For many years, Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc. has offered CoolSculpting, a revolutionary, FDA-cleared, non-surgical body contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat cells so your body can naturally eliminate them. No needles, no special diets, no supplements, no surgery, and no downtime, just noticeable, lasting results.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a breakthrough, non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling technology, developed by Harvard scientists, to eliminate fat without surgery. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissue, so CoolSculpting targets and freezes them, causing their natural death. Over the following weeks, your body gradually processes and eliminates the treated fat cells. For many patients, the benefits can rival those once attainable only with liposuction.
Areas CoolSculpting Can Treat
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to reduce fat deposits in many areas, including:
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Love handles and flanks
- Muffin top and back fat
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Above the knees
For fullness under the chin, we also offer Kybella injections.
What Happens During the Procedure?
CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, so there is no cutting, no needles, and no anesthesia. An applicator is placed on the treatment area and delivers controlled cooling. Some patients feel temporary discomfort, cold, or tugging at first, which subsides as the area numbs. Many patients read, work on their laptops, listen to music, or simply relax during treatment, which typically lasts one to three hours depending on your plan.
CoolSculpting Results
Most patients see a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area after one visit, with additional treatments providing even more reduction. Results develop gradually over the weeks after treatment. Because the eliminated fat cells do not return, results are lasting as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Are You a Good Candidate?
CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people with obesity or a substitute for surgical procedures such as liposuction. Ideal candidates have noticeable bulges in specific areas and are within about 15 to 20 pounds of their ideal weight. Dr. Lowenstein will determine whether CoolSculpting is right for you and create a treatment plan during a one-on-one consultation.
Safety, Cost, and Treatment Plans
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and proven safe. Some patients experience temporary redness, swelling, numbness, or tenderness in the treated area afterward. The cost varies based on your areas of concern, the number of treatments needed, and your goals, so Dr. Lowenstein will assess you in person to provide an estimate.
