CoolSculpting® in Lutz, FL is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling — cryolipolysis, or “fat freezing” — to crystallize and permanently eliminate stubborn fat cells with no surgery and no downtime. Nu Image Medspa is a CoolSculpting®-certified practice at 3939 Cheval Blvd (just off N Dale Mabry Hwy near Cheval), backed by a Diamond-status, medically supervised team with 20+ years of experience and a 4.7-star rating.
CoolSculpting® helps contour nine FDA-cleared areas — abdomen, flanks (love handles), double chin, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, bra and back fat, the banana roll and the male chest. Each cooling cycle runs 35–75 minutes, a single area reduces fat by about 20–25%, and results build over 2–4 months. A single area often starts around $400–$800 per cycle based on package pricing. Serving Lutz, Cheval, Carrollwood, Northdale, Odessa and Land O’ Lakes. Call 813.949.3300.
Most people who ask about a CoolSculpting® treatment in Lutz are not trying to lose weight. They have already done the work — they run the Suncoast Trail, they are at the gym before the heat sets in, they play the back nine at TPC Tampa Bay or Cheval — and there is still a pocket that will not budge. A lower belly that survives every plank. Love handles that show over the waistband of a swimsuit. A bit under the chin that the camera always finds. That single stubborn pocket, not the number on the scale, is what body contouring through fat freezing is built to address.
What makes Lutz different is that there is nowhere to hide it. In cooler markets the body gets a winter — sweaters, jackets, a few months off camera. Here the calendar runs the other way: the lakes, the boat ramps off the chain of ponds around Cheval and Calusa, the pools, the spring-training crowds, the weekends on the water. Bodies are in swimwear and lightweight clothing essentially twelve months a year, so the “I’ll deal with it before summer” reflex never gets a quiet season to work with. The treatment fits that reality because it requires zero downtime — you can have a lutz body contouring cycle on a Tuesday evening (we’re open until 7) and be back on the boat or at school pickup the next morning.
There is also a newer reason this treatment lands in Tampa Bay right now. A lot of Lutz clients have lost real weight — through hard work, after kids, or on a GLP-1 program like semaglutide — and arrived at a stable weight with one or two areas that simply did not follow. CoolSculpting® is well suited to exactly that finish-line problem: it reduces a defined, pinchable pocket rather than shrinking you everywhere. It is the refinement step after the weight is off, not a substitute for losing it.
The honest framing matters, and not every provider leads with it: CoolSculpting® is body contouring, not weight loss. The best candidates are at or near a stable weight with localized fat that resists diet and exercise. A good provider tells you that up front — and tells you if you are not a candidate — instead of selling cycles that will not deliver. That is the standard we hold at Nu Image: a realistic plan for your body, mapped to the pockets that actually respond.

CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for nine areas of the body. Every plan is custom-mapped to your shape and your pinchable pockets — the most common areas include:
The most-requested area: the lower-belly pooch and upper-abdomen roll that hold on no matter how many core workouts you log.
Upper & lower abdomen
The muffin-top and waistband bulge that show over jeans and swimwear — one of the most satisfying areas to contour.
Flanks · back fat
Submental and submandibular fat that softens the jaw. Prefer an injectable here? Compare with Kybella® →
Submental · submandibular
Slim the inner-thigh rub and the outer-thigh “saddlebag” for a smoother line in shorts, leggings and swimwear.
Inner & outer thighs
Soften the back-of-the-arm fullness that shows in tanks and sleeveless tops — a popular pick before Florida summer.
Upper arms
Bra-line and back fat, the banana roll beneath the buttocks, and the male chest (gynecomastia-type fullness) round out the nine cleared areas.
Bra/back · banana roll · male chest
Not sure which area to treat — or whether you’re a candidate at all? A quick body-assessment maps it out honestly, with pricing confirmed up front.
CoolSculpting® works on a simple biological fact: fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than the skin, nerves and tissue around them. A vacuum applicator draws the bulge between two cooling panels and chills the fat to a precise temperature that the surrounding tissue tolerates but the fat cells do not. The cooled cells crystallize and begin to die through a natural process called apoptosis.
From there, your body does the rest. Over the following weeks your lymphatic system gradually clears the destroyed fat cells, and the treated pocket shrinks. Because the cells are eliminated rather than just shrunk, the reduction is long-lasting — once those treated fat cells are gone, they are gone for good.
For the first few minutes of a cycle you feel a firm pull and intense cold; then the area numbs and most clients read, answer email or nap through the rest. Afterward we massage the treated area to improve the result. There is no downtime — you head straight back to your day. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or numbness can linger for a few days up to a couple of weeks.
We use current CoolSculpting® technology with dual cooling for more even, efficient results. We are also candid about the limits: a single cycle reduces about 20–25% of the fat in a pocket, most areas need two or more cycles, and a rare delayed effect called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) is part of the conversation at your consult. Honest planning is the difference between a clean contour and wasted cycles — which is why who plans your treatment matters.
We confirm you’re a candidate, map the pinchable pockets and applicators, and quote the cycles and price up front.
The applicator cools the area for ~35–75 minutes. Cold and pressure fade fast — relax, read or nap.
We massage the treated area, then you’re back to work, errands or the gym. No downtime.
Changes start at ~3 weeks, peak near 2 months and refine through 4–6, with optional added cycles.
Both reduce fat, but they’re different commitments. CoolSculpting® is non-surgical with zero downtime, ideal for stubborn pinchable pockets and gradual, natural-looking change. Liposuction removes more fat in one visit but is surgery. For the double chin specifically, an injectable like Kybella® is a third option — we’ll tell you honestly which fits your body and goals.
| CoolSculpting® | Liposuction | |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure | Non-surgical (cooling) | Surgical (suction) |
| Anesthesia | None | Local or general |
| Downtime | None | ~1–2 weeks |
| Best for | Stubborn pinchable pockets | Larger fat volumes |
| Results | Gradual, 2–4 months | More immediate |
| Fat reduction | Both remove fat cells for long-lasting results | |
With fat freezing, the outcome is decided before the machine ever turns on. The judgment is in the read: which pocket actually responds, which applicator and placement avoid leaving a ridge or a “shelf,” how many cycles a given body honestly needs — and, just as important, when to tell someone CoolSculpting® isn’t the right tool. Placed carelessly, the same technology that should sculpt can leave an uneven line you then have to chase.
That judgment comes from volume and oversight. Nu Image is a CoolSculpting®-certified, medically supervised practice — part of the same Diamond-status team Lutz and greater Tampa Bay have trusted for more than 20 years, with a 4.7-star reputation. It’s also why we’re upfront about candidacy and the rare risks: an honest plan beats an oversold one every time.

CoolSculpting® is priced per cooling cycle (applicator), not per session. A single treatment area often starts around $400–$800 per cycle, and since most areas need two or more cycles, a typical multi-area plan runs about $2,000–$4,000 depending on the areas and your goals. Your exact plan and price are confirmed at your complimentary consultation, and we run new specials every month with payment plans available.
Yes. CoolSculpting® is the only FDA-cleared treatment that uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to reduce fat, and it’s well studied, with more than one million treatments performed worldwide. A single cycle reduces the fat in a treated area by roughly 20–25%. It’s a body-contouring treatment for stubborn pinchable pockets, not a weight-loss program — so realistic candidate selection, which your consultation determines, is what makes the difference.
Most patients need two or more cycles per area to reach their goals. Each cooling cycle takes about 35–75 minutes, and a visit usually runs one to three hours depending on how many areas you treat. We map the cycle count to your anatomy and goals at your consultation so you know the full plan and price up front.
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared for nine areas: the upper and lower abdomen (waistline), flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, under the chin (double chin) and jawline, upper arms, bra fat, back fat, the banana roll under the buttocks, and the male chest. We treat all of these in Lutz and tailor the applicator and placement to each.
There’s no downtime. For the first few minutes you feel intense cold plus a firm pull and pressure; then the area numbs and most people read, work or nap. It’s completely non-surgical, so you can return to work, errands or the gym the same day. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or numbness in the treated area can last from a few days up to a couple of weeks.
You may notice changes as early as three weeks, with the most dramatic results around two months, and your body keeps flushing treated fat cells for four to six months. The reduction is long-lasting — once treated fat cells are eliminated, they’re gone for good. Keeping a stable weight maintains the result, since significant weight gain can enlarge the fat cells that remain.
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared with a strong safety record across more than one million treatments, and being non-surgical it avoids the risks of anesthesia and incisions. Most side effects are temporary — redness, swelling, bruising or numbness. A rare delayed side effect, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), can cause treated fat to enlarge instead of shrink; we review this and your candidacy honestly at your consultation, which is exactly why a CoolSculpting®-certified, medically supervised provider matters.
CoolSculpting® is non-surgical with no downtime and is ideal for stubborn pinchable pockets, with gradual results over 2–4 months. Liposuction is surgery that removes more fat at once but involves anesthesia and 1–2 weeks of recovery. Kybella® is an injectable that dissolves fat and is used specifically for the double chin. For under-the-chin fullness we’ll help you weigh CoolSculpting® against Kybella®; for larger volumes a surgeon may be the better route.
CoolSculpting® is not weight loss — it reduces localized fat pockets rather than lowering the scale. The best candidates are at or near a stable weight, active, but still have pinchable areas that resist diet and exercise. That makes it a strong fit after weight loss, including for people who’ve plateaued on a GLP-1 program and want to refine the pockets that didn’t follow. We confirm candidacy at your complimentary assessment.
