CoolSculpting® Elite — The Next Generation of CoolSculpting® Technology

Welcome to the future of nonsurgical fat reduction with CoolSculpting® Elite.

You’ve dieted, you’ve exercised, and you’re close to your ideal weight, but you still have areas of stubborn fat that just won’t budge. Don’t give up hope! CoolSculpting® Elite technology kills those difficult fat cells using cryolipolysis, an FDA-cleared fat reduction technique since 2010. CoolSculpting® Elite is a nonsurgical, noninvasive, safe approach to banishing that pesky bulge, giving you the silhouette you’ve always wanted.

What is CoolSculpting® Elite? 

CoolSculpting® Elite is a nonsurgical and noninvasive body contouring treatment that uses the only FDA-approved treatment for fat reduction, cryolipolysis. This advanced cryolipolysis technology freezes fat cells, destroying up to 20-25% of the cells in a treated area. Since fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than the skin, applicators are able to target only fat cells without damaging other tissue. These applicators are placed on the treatment area and then cooled down to a temperature that freezes the fat cells only, causing cell death. The immune system then slowly metabolizes and removes the dead fat cells over time.

What areas can be treated with CoolSculpting® Elite?

It is used to treat up to two of the following nine body areas for stubborn, diet, and exercise-resistant fat:

  • Under the chin
  • Jawline
  • Thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Bra line
  • Back
  • Under the buttocks
  • Upper arms

Am I a good candidate?

CoolSculpting® Elite is suitable for men and women of all ages who have a healthy lifestyle, are physically active, and are close to their ideal weight. This is not a weight-loss treatment but instead is focused on removing fat that has not responded well to diet and exercise, so clients should have realistic expectations of the modest fat reduction results can provide.

Just like any treatment or procedure, this is not for everyone. Clients with the following conditions should avoid all cryolipolysis treatments:

  • Loose, poorly toned skin
  • Cryoglobulinemia
  • Cold urticaria
  • Paroxysmal cold globulinemia
  • History of paradoxical fat hyperplasia

What can I expect during a session?

When you arrive, we’ll get you set up in a treatment room and apply a thin layer of protective gel to the treatment site. We will then attach the CoolSculpting® Elite applicators to the treatment site. One of the biggest advantages of CoolSculpting® Elite over the legacy system is its ability to treat two areas instead of just one, decreasing total treatment times for people who want to treat multiple body areas.

During a session, you will feel the applicators gently pulling and tugging on the area being treated, along with a deep cooling sensation. Most clients are quite comfortable during treatment and occupy themselves by reading a book, playing a game, or listening to music.

The treated body area may feel numb, be red, or appear swollen/bruised after treatment. These minor side effects usually go away anywhere from a few hours to a few days after treatment.

Is It safe?

Just like the legacy CoolSculpting® system, CoolSculpting® Elite is safe, effective, and cleared by the FDA. Because it is a nonsurgical and noninvasive treatment for fat reduction, clients enjoy:

  • No pain
  • No recovery downtime. You can drive yourself home from the appointment!
  • No need for anesthesia
  • No risk of infection from painful incisions
