CoolSculpting® Elite · Delray Beach
You did the hard part. Some areas just didn't change.
There's usually one spot — the flanks, the stomach, under the arms — that stayed despite everything else shifting. CoolSculpting is designed specifically for that. Localized fat that diet and exercise can't reach is what this treatment is built to address.
CoolSculpting targets localized fat in specific areas. It is not a weight-loss treatment.

Candidacy
Is the area that didn't change actually treatable?
Not every stubborn area is a CoolSculpting candidate. The treatment works on localized, pinchable fat that an applicator can reach — not loose skin, not overall weight. This is the right place to start before anything else.
Often a reasonable fit
- A localized area of pinchable fat
- Your weight is relatively stable
- The fullness remains despite diet and exercise
- You prefer a nonsurgical, gradual change
May not be the best use of your money
- Your main goal is significant weight loss
- Loose skin is the primary concern
- You expect a surgical-level change from one visit
- The area is not sufficiently pinchable for treatment
Not sure where you fall? That’s what the assessment is for. Some areas are difficult to judge from a photo or description alone.
Coverage
What determines CoolSculpting pricing?
The total price depends on the number of applicator placements in your plan. “Flanks” names the part of the body—not how much of it needs treatment. One person may need one placement on each side; another may need two. A broader area requires more placements and therefore costs more.
Here is what that difference can look like.
Illustration for reference only. The visible side is shown; actual applicator choice and placement are determined in person.
Broader treatment area
If the fullness extends farther around the waist, it may need two placements on each side to cover the area.
2 placements per side
4 placements = $1,560 4 × $390 at the 4–7 placement rate
These examples show why prices vary; they are not treatment recommendations. Your placement count is determined in person based on the shape and size of the area and how the applicators fit.
Expected change
What can one CoolSculpting treatment realistically change?
Treating an area once and deciding whether to treat it again are two separate decisions. You can let the first result develop before choosing—or map a broader plan from the beginning if you already know you want more change.
Start with one treatment
Treat the mapped area once, allow the result to develop, then decide whether it gave you enough change.
A smaller first decision, without assuming you need more.
Plan more than one treatment
If you already expect to want a greater change, map the fuller course before you begin so you can understand both the treatment plan and total cost.
Useful when you already know one treatment may not match your goal.

20–25%
20–25%
CoolSculpting’s current U.S. manufacturer material cites a clinical study in which up to 20–25% fat-layer reduction was seen in the treated area. Individual results vary, and that number should not be treated like simple arithmetic across repeat visits. The manufacturer also says most patients need at least two treatment sessions, typically 4–8 weeks apart, to achieve their desired result. See the manufacturer’s treatment data.
Current pricing
What do 2, 4, or 8 placements cost?
One cycle means one applicator placement. The price per placement depends on the total number included in your plan: 1–3, 4–7, or 8+.
1–3 placements
$525
Each · 2 placements = $1,050
4–7 placements
$390
Each · 4 placements = $1,560
8+ placements
$260
Each · 8 placements = $2,080
The tier is based on the total placements purchased in the plan, including planned repeat treatment or additional areas. The treatment map should determine the number—not the discount tier.
One practical rule: map the areas and repeat treatment you actually want. Don’t add placements just to reach a lower per-placement tier.

Meet Dina
1,000+ CoolSculpting treatments performed
Most people who come to Dina have already done everything right — they've lost weight, they work out, they watch what they eat. They have one area left. That's what she's here for. As a certified CoolSculpting specialist with more than 1,000 treatments performed, she evaluates the area from several angles, tells you honestly whether it's a good candidate, maps the placements that fit your anatomy, and gives you a complete picture of what one treatment could realistically change — and what it would cost.
The appointment
So you know exactly what to expect.
No anesthesia, no surgery, no guessing. Here is what the appointment actually looks like so there are no surprises on the day.
We confirm the plan
Dina reviews the area, confirms the placement map, and walks you through exactly what's happening before anything starts.
Intense cold, then nothing
The first few minutes are the most intense — pulling, pressure, cold. Then the area goes numb and most people read or rest for the remainder.
You leave the same day
No recovery room, no downtime requirement. Some temporary soreness, swelling or sensitivity is common in the days after.
Results develop over weeks
The treated fat cells are gradually processed by the body. Most people start to notice a change between one and three months.

Limitations & safety
The common side effects—and the rare risk—worth knowing.
Most CoolSculpting conversations focus on results. Candidacy, temporary effects and rare risks matter just as much.
Common temporary effects
Redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tenderness, cramping, tingling, numbness, skin sensitivity and discomfort can occur. Medical history, medications, recent surgery, hernia concerns, pregnancy and cold-related conditions should be discussed before treatment.
A rare but important risk: PAH
The manufacturer currently describes paradoxical hyperplasia (also known as PAH) as a rare side effect with a reported rate of around 1 in 3,000 treatments (0.033%). It can appear 2–5 months after treatment, does not resolve on its own and may require surgery. Read CoolSculpting’s current U.S. safety information.
The manufacturer states that CoolSculpting should not be used in people with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. This page is general information, not individual medical advice.
CoolSculpting FAQ
Other practical questions about CoolSculpting.
What exactly is one CoolSculpting cycle?
One cycle is one applicator placement. If both flanks each need one placement, that would be two cycles for that treatment visit. If each side needs two placements, that would be four cycles.
How much does CoolSculpting cost at Dash?
Current pricing is $525 per placement for 1–3 placements, $390 each for 4–7, and $260 each for 8 or more. The tier is based on the total placements purchased in the plan. For example, two placements are $1,050, four are $1,560, and eight are $2,080.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single number that fits everyone. You can choose to start with one treatment and reassess, but CoolSculpting’s current U.S. manufacturer information says most patients need at least two treatment sessions, typically 4–8 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results. Your anatomy, treatment map, response and goal all matter.
Does one treatment remove 20–25% of my visible belly or love handles?
Not exactly. The manufacturer cites a small clinical study in which up to 20–25% fat-layer reduction was observed in the treated area. That is not the same as guaranteeing that the entire visible area will look 25% smaller, and individual results vary.
Will I lose inches?
Some people notice less fullness or clothing fitting differently, but we do not quote a predictable number of inches. CoolSculpting is a localized fat-reduction treatment, not a weight-loss procedure.
Are the fat cells permanently gone?
Fat cells that are eliminated from the treated area are permanently gone, according to the manufacturer. Remaining fat cells can still enlarge with future weight gain, so the contour can change over time.
What’s the difference between CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite?
CoolSculpting Elite is the current generation of the system. The practical differences for your appointment: Elite uses redesigned C-shaped applicators that fit the body’s natural curves more closely than the original U-shaped applicators, and the system can run two applicators at the same time. If your plan includes multiple placements — both flanks, for example — those can run simultaneously rather than one after the other, which shortens the visit. Dash uses the Elite system.
Is there downtime?
Most people can return to routine activities, but temporary soreness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, numbness or sensitivity can occur. “No surgery” does not mean “no side effects.”
