When consistent exercise and dieting isn’t enough to lose excess fat and achieve your ideal body shape, CoolSculpting Elite can help. CoolSculpting Elite is the ideal treatment for freezing away pockets of stubborn fat, providing the finishing touches for your perfect body.
CoolSculpting Elite:
It’s not magic—it’s science. CoolSculpting Elite is the result of spending years to develop and refine a process called cryolipolysis, which literally freezes and kills fat cells.
CoolSculpting Elite is the next generation of CoolSculpting technology. It produces quicker results while covering larger treatment areas. The dual applicators can treat two areas of fat in the same amount of time as compared to using one CoolSculpting applicator.
Ideal candidates have realistic expectations when it comes to the results, they can achieve with CoolSculpting Elite. The best candidates are already at or near their ideal weight but still have small stubborn pockets of excess fat. It is important to remember that this is a spot-reduction treatment and not a weight-loss procedure.
Individuals who no longer see results from diet and exercise are excellent candidates for this treatment option. Candidates must be determined to maintain body shape and weight after the treatment.
During the consultation, we will discuss your goals for CoolSculpting Elite. We’ll help minimize the chance of complications by checking your medical history and overall health. A physical examination of the treatment regions will also be performed.
A suitable treatment plan will then be designed. We will make sure you fully understand every important detail about CoolSculpting Elite. Your concerns and doubts will be clarified so you can feel confident about scheduling your treatment with us.
The sessions for CoolSculpting Elite usually take half an hour. Gel pads will be applied to the target body parts. Applicators will then be placed on the gel pads.

No recovery will be necessary after the treatment, since it is a no-downtime procedure. The patient may feel temporary minor aching or irritation in the targeted body areas after the treatment. Depending on the treatment plan and results for each session, follow-up treatment sessions might be scheduled to reach the goals of the patient.
The cost of CoolSculpting Elite will depend on the size and number of targeted body parts. The overall price of CoolSculpting Elite treatment may also be affected by the number of sessions necessary to achieve the desired results.

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 crystalized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.
We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. The latest technology of CoolSculpting® Elite can treat a patient in 60 minutes per area, and some patients have more than one treatment during the same office visit.
The CoolSculpting® Elite procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen, upper arms, and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, and underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll). If you have excess belly fat, love handles,
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you typically feel intense cold. This soon dissipates. You’ll feel some pulling as suction is applied. The area generally goes numb within 5 to 10 minutes during treatment. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their CoolSculpting® Elite treatment.
After the treatment, you may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for 2 or 3 minutes. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities following their appointment.
While the technology is freezing your fat, you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity. Sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental area treatment. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within days or weeks.
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.
Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting® Elite procedure, 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.
It may be confusing to hear that reducing fat is not the same as losing weight. It’s all about what happens to fat CELLS. The number of fat cells in our bodies typically becomes a fixed number sometime in our teenage years. Losing or gaining weight generally does not increase or decrease the number of fat cells. Instead, it changes the size of fat cells. After dieting and weight loss, fat cells get smaller but the number of fat cells stays the same. When weight is gained, fat cells get bigger. The CoolSculpting® Elite fat-freezing procedure actually reduces the number of fat cells in treated areas by about 20% to 25%. These fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated, so they won’t migrate to another area of your body.
You may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after 2 months. Your body will still continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment.
The cost of CoolSculpting® Elite in Arcadia varies from patient to patient. Its price is determined based on factors like the size and number of the treatment regions.
