CoolSculpting in Virginia Beach
Looking for a way to get rid of stubborn fat without surgery? Ben Hugo Plastic Surgery offers CoolSculpting® in Virginia Beach—a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that helps you target trouble spots that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Using FDA-cleared cryolipolysis technology, our experienced team helps patients slim down common problem areas with no needles, anesthesia, or downtime.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. The technology works through cryolipolysis, where cold temperatures cause fat cells to crystallize and gradually die off. Your body naturally flushes out these treated cells over time.
Unlike other body procedures, CoolSculpting doesn’t involve incisions or heat. It’s safe, effective, and cleared by the FDA for use on multiple areas, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin. At Ben Hugo Plastic Surgery, each CoolSculpting treatment is customized to match your body and goals.
What Areas Can Be Treated with CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting uses specially designed applicators to target different fat zones across the body. At Ben Hugo Plastic Surgery, we customize your treatment plan using the best combination of applicators for your shape and goals.
CoolCore – Abdomen
CoolCore is commonly used to treat belly fat, which many patients struggle with most. This applicator delivers cooling directly to central abdominal bulges, helping smooth and slim the midsection with precision.
CoolCurve+ – Flanks (Love Handles)
This curved applicator is ideal for treating the sides of the waist, where fat often creates a “muffin top.” CoolCurve+ hugs the body’s contours, trimming love handles and improving waistline definition.
CoolMax – Large Volume Reduction
For patients with bulkier fat deposits, CoolMax is used to debulk large treatment areas. It’s often selected for the lower abdomen or back and is ideal for those who need more dramatic fat reduction in fewer sessions.
CoolFit – Inner Thighs
CoolFit targets longer, vertical bulges—especially those on the inner thighs. Its elongated shape allows it to deliver even cooling along slim, tall treatment zones, where traditional devices may not fit properly.
CoolSmooth PRO – Outer Thighs
Some fat isn’t easy to pinch—especially along the outer thighs. CoolSmooth PRO features a flat surface that glides over dense or fibrous fat pads, delivering effective cooling to visibly firm and contour the outer leg.
Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting works best for adults who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn pockets of fat. It’s not meant for weight loss, but it’s a strong option for:
- Healthy individuals with diet-resistant bulges
- Those who prefer non-surgical solutions
- People looking to treat specific areas like love handles, belly fat, or inner thighs
If you have significant skin laxity or need larger volume reduction, we may recommend alternative procedures. A CoolSculpting consultation will help determine the best fit.

What to Expect During the CoolSculpting Procedure
Each session begins with mapping out your treatment zones. A CoolSculpting applicator is then placed on the area, and the fat is gently drawn between two cooling panels. You’ll feel a firm pull followed by cold and numbness. Most patients relax, read, or watch TV during treatment.
Depending on the number of areas being treated, your appointment could last 35 minutes to a few hours. You’ll be awake the entire time, and there’s no anesthesia involved. Once the session is complete, you can return to your day.
What to Expect After CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting requires little to no recovery. Most people go back to work or their routine right away. Mild redness, tingling, swelling, or numbness in the treated area is common. These effects usually fade within a few days to a week.
Results develop gradually. Some patients notice changes at least three weeks after treatment, with the most visible results appearing after two to three months. Your body will continue eliminating fat cells for up to four months after treatment.

- Cleared by the FDA for visible fat reduction
- Minimal downtime with no recovery period

FAQs About CoolSculpting
How soon will I see results from CoolSculpting?
Visible changes can appear in as little as three weeks, with full results developing over two to four months as your body naturally eliminates the frozen fat cells.
Are CoolSculpting results permanent?
Yes, once fat cells are destroyed and removed, they don’t grow back. However, maintaining your results depends on staying active and eating a healthy diet.
Who is not a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is not recommended for those with cold-related conditions (like cryoglobulinemia), severe skin laxity, or large volumes of fat requiring surgical removal. A consultation will help confirm your candidacy.
How many CoolSculpting sessions will I need?
Many patients see excellent results with one session per area. However, some opt for additional sessions depending on their goals. We’ll create a custom plan just for you.
