If you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, you know how frustrating it can be to get rid of pockets of residual fat. Age, genetics, and other factors can leave you with bulges that resist diet and exercise, but CoolSculpting® Elite can reduce fat without surgery or downtime.

Benefits

Non-surgical
No downtime
Frozen fat cells are gone for good

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting® Elite treatments are in good general health and at or near their ideal weight. CoolSculpting® Elite is not a weight loss solution; it is designed to help reduce residual fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

How It Works

CoolSculpting® Elite uses a process called cryolipolysis to help reduce stubborn fat bulges by up to 25 percent. A protective gel pad will be applied to the treatment site to protect your skin. CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA cleared to reduce fat in nine different areas of the body, including the following:

Under the chin and jawline
Upper arms
Abdomen
Bra fat
Back fat
Inner and outer thighs
Flanks
Banana roll (underneath the buttocks)

The CoolSculpting® Elite machine uses suction to draw the targeted bulge up between the applicator paddles. The device then uses controlled cooling technology to freeze fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues. The cold temperatures cause the fat cells to crystallize, rupturing the cell wall. Your body then processes and eliminates the dead fat cells as waste.Recovery and Results

There is no downtime from a CoolTone™ session. However, Your muscles may feel slightly sore for a few days afterward, similar to the feeling you get after an intense workout. The treated muscles will begin to feel stronger and firmer and will look more toned after a series of treatments.

Because it takes time for muscle fibers to build, you may begin to see initial results in about two weeks. The effects of your treatment will then continue to improve. Most patients require a series of four to six treatments to achieve optimal results. Semi-regular treatments are suggested to maintain results. CoolTone™ can also be combined with CoolSculpting® for comprehensive body contouring.

Recovery and Results

You may experience some slight swelling or soreness in the treated area, but these side effects should resolve within a week or two. Patients can return to their regular activities immediately after their treatment.

Some patients may see initial results a few days after their treatment, but the final outcome is typically noticed after four to six weeks as frozen fat cells are eliminated from the body. Patients require a series of treatments to achieve their desired aesthetic.
