The short answer
Can CoolSculpting slim your thighs?
Yes. CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges on the inner thighs and outer thighs, and the fat underneath the buttocks (often called the banana roll). Controlled cooling targets fat cells, and your body clears them naturally over the next few weeks, with results developing over 1 to 3 months. At Cool Contours in Arlington, VA, every plan starts with an assessment of texture, shape and tone, because not every patient needs the same treatment.

Every pair of legs is different
Texture, shape or tone? Your plan starts with an assessment.
Some patients need one treatment on one area. Others need a combination. Not every patient gets the same plan, and yours is built around what you want to change.
Texture
Cellulite dimples
Dimples on the thighs and buttocks come from fibrous bands under the skin. Avéli® releases them in a one-time treatment, with long-term results that last at least a year.
Shape
Stubborn fat
Inner thighs, outer thighs or a banana roll that won't budge. CoolSculpting® Elite reduces the fat, usually in a series of 2 to 4 sessions.
Tone
A lifted, round, strong booty
CoolTone® strengthens and firms the glutes and thighs, in a series of 4 to 10 sessions depending on your goals.
Sound familiar?
You've put in the leg days. Your thighs are still holding on.
Spot training doesn't spot reduce
Lunges and squats tone the muscle underneath, but they can't pick which fat your body lets go of.
Your jeans feel it first
Inner thighs rub, the outer thighs pull at the seams, and shorts ride up on a warm day.
It runs in the family
Thighs are one of the most common places to store stubborn fat, often because of genetics and hormones, not effort.

The questions everyone asks
Thighs, answered
Which treatment is right for my thighs?
It depends on what bothers you. Cellulite dimples are texture, and Avéli® treats them. Stubborn fat is shape, and CoolSculpting® Elite reduces it. A flat or soft seat is tone, and CoolTone® builds a lifted, rounder, stronger booty. At your free assessment we’ll recommend one treatment or a combination. Not every patient gets the same plan.
How much does CoolSculpting for thighs cost?
CoolSculpting® starts at $2,999 per area, all-inclusive. Your final price depends on how many areas you treat and how dramatic a change you’re looking for and whether your plan combines treatments, and you’ll know it at your free consultation. If you truly only need one session, you can purchase one session at a time, though that’s rare. Flexible monthly payment plans are available. See full pricing details.
How many CoolSculpting sessions do thighs need?
Most patients see subtle changes after one session, but most do a series of 2 to 4 sessions to reach their ideal results. We’ll recommend a plan at your free consultation.
Can CoolSculpting treat inner and outer thighs?
Yes. CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA-cleared for fat on both the inner and outer thighs, and for the fat underneath the buttocks (banana roll).
Does CoolSculpting get rid of cellulite on my thighs?
No. CoolSculpting® reduces fat. For cellulite dimples on the thighs and buttocks, we offer Avéli®, and many people pair the two.
When will I see results on my thighs?
Most people start to notice changes within a few weeks, and results keep developing over 1 to 3 months. Individual results vary.
Is CoolSculpting for thighs permanent?
Treated fat cells are eliminated by your body. Keeping a stable weight helps you keep your results.
Does CoolSculpting on the thighs hurt?
You’ll feel pulling and intense cold for the first few minutes, then the area goes numb. Most people read, work or relax during treatment and go right back to their day.
CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite Uses and Important Safety Information
CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite Uses
CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite are FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental (under the chin) and submandibular (under the jawline) areas, thigh, abdomen, and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll), and upper arm. It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with submental area treatments. CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite are not treatments for weight loss.
CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite Important Safety Information
This procedure is not for everyone. You should not be treated with CoolSculpting® or CoolSculpting® Elite if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or have any medical conditions including recent surgery, pre-existing hernia, and any known sensitivities or allergies.
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, cramping and discomfort at the treatment site. These sensations lessen as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, stinging, tenderness, cramping, skin inflammation and aching. Sensory alteration (itching, skin sensitivity, tingling, and numbness) can persist up to several weeks after treatment. You may also experience throat discomfort/soreness and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental or submandibular area treatment.
Rare side effects may happen in 1 to 10 out of 10,000 CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite treatments (between 0.01% to 0.1%). One such rare side effect is a visible enlargement in the treated area, which may develop 2 to 5 months after treatment, will not resolve on its own, and may require surgical intervention for correction.

CoolTone® Uses and Important Safety Information
Uses
The CoolTone® device is FDA-cleared in adults aged 22 years or older for:
- Strengthening, toning, and firming of the abdomen, buttocks, and thigh muscles
- Stimulating of healthy muscles to improve or help muscle performance; CoolTone® induces muscle contractions to enhance muscle function and may, therefore, be considered a method of muscle training
- Relaxation of muscle spasms, preventing or slowing muscle weakness due to lack of use, increasing blood flow to a specific area, retraining muscles, and maintaining or increasing the range of motion
- Use under medical supervision with other therapies for treating certain medical diseases and conditions
- Stimulating leg muscles for rehabilitation therapy
Important Safety Information
The CoolTone® procedure is not suitable for everyone. Do not use CoolTone® treatment in areas with metal, active, electrical, or electronic implants or devices such as cardiac pacemakers, implanted hearing aids, defibrillators, neurostimulators, or drug pumps.
Tell your doctor about any medical conditions, as CoolTone® should not be used over the uterus during menstruation, over areas of the skin that lack normal sensation, or in patients with fever, cancer, bleeding disorders, active infections, epilepsy, recent surgery, lung problems, or pregnancy.
CoolTone® should be used with caution in patients with Graves disease (an overactive thyroid condition); in women with an intrauterine device (IUD); and in patients with a hernia in or near the treatment site, active bleeding problems, or a seizure disorder. If you have an IUD and experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, cramping, spotting, or heavy bleeding develop during or after treatment, seek medical care right away.
Women who are close to their period may find that their period starts earlier or cramping becomes stronger with CoolTone® treatments. For this reason, it is best to avoid treatment during this time of the month.
CoolTone® is not recommended on certain parts of your body: the heart, head, neck, mouth, areas of new bone growth, or places with poor blood flow or reduced feeling. Do not use CoolTone® on skin that is swollen, infected, irritated, or has rashes. Applying it over scarred skin may raise your risk of burns. If you have or think you may have heart problems, tell your healthcare provider before using CoolTone®. Talk to them about any questions or concerns you may have before treatment.
Common side effects may include, but may not be limited to, muscular pain, temporary muscle spasm, temporary joint or tendon pain, and redness at or near the treatment area.
Ask your Healthcare Provider if CoolTone® is right for you.
