CoolSculpting Elite is a cutting-edge non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat deposits through a process known as cryolipolysis. By applying controlled cooling to targeted areas of the body, CoolSculpting Elite effectively freezes and destroys fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues. The body then naturally eliminates these dead fat cells over time, resulting in a more sculpted and toned appearance. This enhanced version of the original CoolSculpting technology offers improved efficiency and comfort, with advanced applicators that better conform to the body’s contours, allowing for more precise fat reduction. Ideal for individuals looking to target areas resistant to diet and exercise, CoolSculpting Elite provides a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking to refine their body shape.
book onlineHow does CoolSculpting Elite work, and what areas of the body can be treated?
CoolSculpting Elite works by applying controlled cooling to specific areas of the body to freeze and destroy fat cells. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells over time. This treatment can be used on various areas, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, and under the chin. The Elite version features improved applicators that provide more effective and comfortable fat reduction across these targeted areas.
What can I expect during and after a CoolSculpting Elite session?
During the session, you might feel a cold sensation and mild discomfort as the cooling is applied, but this typically subsides as the area becomes numb. The procedure generally takes about 35 to 60 minutes per treatment area. After the session, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or numbness in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few days. Most people resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, as there is minimal downtime associated with CoolSculpting Elite.
How many CoolSculpting Elite sessions are needed to see results?
Many patients notice visible results after just one session, but the number of sessions required can vary depending on the individual’s goals and the amount of fat being treated. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended. Your provider will assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best outcome.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with CoolSculpting Elite?
CoolSculpting Elite is generally considered safe, with minimal risks when performed by a qualified practitioner. Potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. Rarely, some patients may experience more serious side effects like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (where the fat cells in the treated area increase in size). To minimize risks, choose a certified CoolSculpting provider and follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully.
