If you’ve heard about new, body-specific pricing or multi-session CoolSculpting plans and wondered if the results are real, you’re not alone. Dr. Sheena Kong, a board-certified internal medicine physician and Harvard-trained expert in non-surgical body contouring, offers a proven, three-phase CoolSculpting approach that delivers results close to SmartLipo—without surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.
Here’s how her 3-round method works and why it’s changing the game for non-invasive fat reduction in San Francisco.
Round 1: Debulking
In the first round, the goal is to remove as much unwanted fat as possible. This phase is all about high-impact fat reduction. Dr. Kong and her CoolSculpting specialist use as many treatment applicators as needed to fully debulk the areas of concern. The result: a smaller, leaner foundation to build on.
Typical areas treated during Round 1 may include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back or bra fat
Round 2: Selective Body Sculpting
Once initial fat removal is achieved, the second round is where the artistry comes in. This stage focuses on selective sculpting to enhance shape and definition. Applicators are placed strategically to contour the body more precisely, highlighting curves and refining the silhouette.
Round 3: Fine Tuning
The final round is about precision. After the bulk of the fat has been removed and the body reshaped, this phase allows for subtle adjustments and symmetry correction. It’s the polish that takes your results from good to exceptional, often mimicking the look of SmartLipo but without the associated recovery.
SmartLipo vs. CoolSculpting: What’s the Real Difference?
While SmartLipo is a surgical procedure that permanently removes fat through laser-assisted liposuction (performed while the patient is awake), it comes with a higher price tag and a longer recovery.
SmartLipo
- Surgical procedure with laser-assisted liposuction
- Laser also stimulates skin tightening for smoother results
- Fat is suctioned out through small incisions
- Performed while awake but requires anesthesia
- Longer recovery time
- Higher cost
3-Round CoolSculpting Plan
- Non-surgical and non-invasive
- Fat is frozen and naturally eliminated
- No anesthesia or incisions
- No downtime
- More affordable
For many patients, the final result is impressively similar in contour and smoothness.
