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.
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
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.
