Your Refinement Journey

Understanding Postpartum Body Contouring

Pregnancy changes your body in ways that diet and exercise often can’t fully reverse. The “postpartum pooch,” stubborn lower belly fat, and expanded flanks are common concerns for new parents in Princeton. CoolSculpting offers a non-invasive solution to freeze away these persistent fat cells. For optimal results and safety, we recommend waiting until you have completed breastfeeding and your weight has stabilized before beginning your journey.
   

Lower Belly ("Pooch")

Target stubborn fat in the lower abdominal area that resists diet and exercise, helping you achieve a smoother, more toned midsection.
   

Love Handles & Flanks

Sculpt and refine the sides of your waist for a slimmer, contoured silhouette, reducing the appearance of bulges around your midsection.
   

Inner & Outer Thighs

Address fat deposits in the thighs to create leaner, well-defined legs, enhancing overall body proportion and confidence.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your treatment, from how it works to what to expect before, during, and after your session.
1. Is CoolSculpting painful?Most patients experience minimal discomfort during CoolSculpting. You may feel cooling, mild tugging, or slight tingling at the treatment site, but these sensations usually subside quickly. Since the procedure is non-invasive, there’s no anesthesia required, and you can return to your daily activities.
2. How many sessions will I need?Most patients achieve optimal results with one to three sessions per treatment area. During your consultation, Dr. Merlo will assess your goals and design a personalized plan with the exact number of sessions needed for your body.
3. Can it treat the C-section "shelf"?In many cases, yes. CoolSculpting can reduce the stubborn pocket of fat that often forms above a C-section scar. Dr. Merlo will evaluate the area during your consultation to confirm it’s a good candidate for treatment and set realistic expectations for your results.
4. When will I see results?You may notice initial changes within three weeks, with the most dramatic results appearing after one to three months as your body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells. Results continue to improve for up to six months after treatment.
