Am I a candidate?
The Coolsculpting elite procedure is designed for people who want to eliminate fat bulges in specific areas. The Coolsculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution (unlike weight loss surgery, such as gastric bypass). People who choose Coolsculpting often want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Good candidates for the Coolsculpting procedure have noticeable fat bulges in certain areas.
Where does the fat go?
The frozen fat cells become crystallized, then die. The dead fat cells then are naturally processed and eliminated by your body. Some patients wonder if the results are permanent- Coolsculpting Elite results are long term because those fat cells, and that fat bulge, are gone for good.
When will I see results?
You may start seeing changes in your body as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment. The most dramatic results are usually visible after 2 months. Several months after your treatment, your body will still continue to flush out fat cells.
Treatment Day FAQs
How cold does it get? Does it hurt?
As you may expect, the Coolsculpting Elite procedure will feel a little chilly. For the first 5 to 10 minutes, you may feel intense cold as the treated area becomes numb. Since most applicators use a vacuum to draw fatty tissue in, you may also feel some tugging, pulling, and/or mild pinching.
Can I multitask during treatment?
Yes, you can absolutely multitask during your Coolsculpting Elite treatment. You are encouraged to read, check your emails, take a nap, or whatever feels comfortable for you. You can relax while you say goodbye to stubborn fat. Because the procedure is completely non-surgical, it’s typically very easy to return to your normal activities after the treatment. Often, patients go back to work on the same day.
Are there any side effects?
Typical side effects after the procedure include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, and pain. For a few hours after the applicator is removed, many patients do experience redness in the treated area. In rare cases, this redness may persist for a few days, up to 2 weeks, but it will completely resolve itself.
