What Is CoolSculpting Elite?
CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-approved treatment for visible fat in the abdomen, thighs, flanks, back, under the jawline, upper arms, bra area, chin, and buttocks. It works by freezing fat through cryolipolysis. This non-surgical and non-invasive fat-reduction treatment requires no recovery time or downtime.
CoolSculpting Elite eliminates 20% to 25% of targeted fat after just one session. It is more efficient than the past generation of CoolSculpting technology when covering large areas, allowing for quicker treatment sessions. It also uses dual applicators, meaning it can work on two locations simultaneously. Additionally, CoolSculpting Elite reduces discomfort by freezing the target area faster, helping you feel more relaxed.
How CoolSculpting Elite Works
Years ago, scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. The scientists realized that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells. The idea that cold can target fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue was the insight behind Cryolipolysis®, the proven science on which the CoolSculpting Elite procedure is based.
The CoolSculpting Elite procedure safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin, freezing fat away. Treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.

Where Can CoolSculpting Elite Target Stubborn Fat?
The CoolSculpting Elite procedure is FDA-cleared for treating visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen, upper arms, and flank, as well as bra fat, back fat, and underneath the buttocks (also known as the banana roll).
For those seeking a comprehensive approach to body contouring, I-Lipo fat reduction can complement CoolSculpting by targeting stubborn fat pockets, and CoolTone® muscle toning can help tone and tighten areas after fat reduction treatments. Other treatments like Venus Freeze cellulite reduction or infrared body slimming wrap can help you get a smoother, more toned look. Combining these treatments allows for a more sculpted and defined appearance.
“Such a great first time experience with my Nurse Annie doing CoolSculpting® Elite. She walked me through the procedure and I was comfortable the whole time! Thanks again can’t wait to see more results <3”
Start of Session
When the treatment session starts, the client will be asked to lie down. We will then apply applicators to the skin in the target areas.
During Treatment
Everyone’s body is different. We will work with you on the best treatment plan for your fat-freezing needs. Achieving your goals may take as little as one office visit. For some people, a personalized treatment plan may include more than one CoolSculpting Elite treatment.
We can design a treatment plan with different applicators to give you your desired results. During your treatment, a gel pad and applicator will be applied to the targeted area. The CoolSculpting Elite applicator delivers controlled cooling to the targeted fat. Feel free to read, check emails, or even nap during your procedure.
You will feel a sucking sensation and the treatment’s cooling effect. You may also feel slight tugging or pulling, intense cold, mild pinching, aching, or cramping until the treated areas become numb.
Recovery Timeline and Results
One of the key benefits of CoolSculpting Elite is the minimal recovery time. After your session, you can return to your normal activities, including work, right away. Mild side effects like redness, swelling, or temporary firmness may occur but typically fade within a few hours to a few days.
Results may start to appear within three weeks, with more noticeable changes around the two-month mark. Full results develop over four to six months as your body naturally eliminates treated fat cells. To enhance skin tone in the treated areas, some patients choose to pair their treatment with our skin tightening Venus Freeze treatment for added firmness and smoother texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is each treatment? How many treatments will I need?
What does it feel like?
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you typically feel intense cold, which soon dissipates. You’ll feel some pulling as suction is applied. The area generally goes numb within five to ten minutes during treatment. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptops, or even take a nap during their CoolSculpting Elite treatment.
After the treatment, you may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for two or three minutes. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities following their appointment.
Are there any side effects?
Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?
No supplements are required after your CoolSculpting Elite treatment. It’s not a diet and exercise program, so you won’t need to change any of your lifestyle habits. Many patients do feel more motivated to take care of themselves after a CoolSculpting Elite treatment. It’s as if they got a second lease on their body! They want to take even better care of themselves.
What happens if I gain weight after my CoolSculpting Elite procedure?
After seeing the results from their CoolSculpting Elite procedure, many people feel even more motivated to stay close to their ideal weight. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas.
What is the difference between losing weight vs. losing fat?
Losing weight and losing fat are not the same thing. When you lose weight, it’s the size of fat cells that shrinks, not their number. The number of fat cells in your body generally remains constant after your teenage years. However, when you gain weight, these fat cells increase in size.
Fat loss, on the other hand, actually reduces the number of fat cells. CoolSculpting Elite targets and eliminates about 20–25% of fat cells in treated areas. These fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated from your body, preventing them from moving to other areas.
