CoolSculpting

Freeze away stubborn fat permanently with advanced body contouring—no surgery, no downtime, just proven results in the areas that bother you most.
Understanding CoolSculpting®

How CoolSculpting® Works

CoolSculpting® uses controlled cooling—cryolipolysis—to freeze and permanently eliminate stubborn fat cells. The FDA-cleared treatment targets fat beneath the skin while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. Frozen fat cells crystallize, die, and are naturally eliminated by your body over the following weeks.

Unlike diet and exercise that shrink fat cells, CoolSculpting® destroys them—eliminating up to 20–25% of fat per treated area. Once destroyed, these cells are gone for good.

Colorado Skin & Vein was the first practice in Colorado to offer CoolSculpting®. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Verebelyi and the team deliver expert applicator placement and optimal results.

Common Questions

CoolSculpting FAQ

How does CoolSculpting® work?
Specialized applicators deliver precise, controlled cooling to targeted fat deposits. Fat cells freeze and crystallize at specific temperatures, triggering a natural cell death process. Over the following weeks, your body’s lymphatic system processes and permanently eliminates these dead cells, reducing fat in the treated area by up to 20–25% per session.
Yes. CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared with over 17 million treatments performed worldwide since 2009. The controlled cooling technology includes built-in safety sensors that prevent skin from becoming too cold. Colorado Skin & Vein’s 20+ years of experience ensures safe, effective treatment protocols.
CoolSculpting® permanently eliminates treated fat cells—once destroyed, they’re gone for good. Long-term studies show results lasting 6–9 years even with weight fluctuations. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle preserves optimal results.
Most patients experience sensations of intense cold, pulling, tugging, and mild pinching during the first 5–10 minutes. The treatment area becomes numb quickly, making the remainder of the session comfortable. Many patients read, watch shows, or nap during treatment.
Treatment plans are customized based on your body goals and the areas being treated. Most patients achieve desired results with 1–2 sessions per area, spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Larger areas (abdomen, flanks) may require multiple applicators or sessions for comprehensive contouring.
Ideal candidates are within 20–30 pounds of their goal weight with stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss treatment—it’s a body contouring procedure for those seeking targeted fat reduction in specific areas.
CoolSculpting® is non-surgical with no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Liposuction is a surgical procedure requiring anesthesia and recovery time. Both permanently remove fat cells, but CoolSculpting® offers a less invasive option for targeted fat reduction with minimal interruption to daily activities.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
