CoolSculpting FAQs
A healthy diet and exercise routine offers many benefits, but it can’t always eliminate stubborn fat from trouble spots. We were excited to learn about CoolSculpting®, a non-invasive procedure to safely eliminate fat without surgery. We interviewed experienced CoolSculpting provider and CoolSculpting University faculty, Leslie Petersen, NP, to learn more. Leslie is a Nurse Practitioner and the Clinical Director of beyond|AESTHETICS, a medical spa located at Village at the Park in Camarillo.

It is FDA-cleared to treat thighs, abdomen, flanks, bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks, upper arms, and under the chin.

Many people can benefit from this procedure. Ideal candidates are at a stable, healthy weight and have specific areas they would like to target.
