CoolSculpting Elite

Cutting-edge CoolSculpting® Elite is a fat-minimizing procedure designed to sculpt and shape your body by freezing away unwanted fat cells without going under the knife. The procedure includes the use of monitored cooling (cryolipolysis) to freeze and kill fat cells so that they may be naturally removed from your body to reveal a leaner physique. As a noninvasive fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting Elite does not require the downtime associated with surgical procedures such as liposuction. At Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center in Sarasota, FL, we use state-of-the-art CoolSculpting Elite to help you meet your aesthetic goals for excess fat and visible fat bulges. Schedule a consultation to learn more about cryolipolysis with CoolSculpting Elite and decide if this fat freezing method is right for you.

How is CoolSculpting Elite performed?

After your consultation at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center to design your treatment plan, your body contouring procedure will be arranged. At your appointment, the CoolSculpting Elite dual applicators and a special gel pad will be applied to the treated area and controlled cooling will be initiated. These CoolSculpting Elite applicators are 18% larger than the legacy Coolsculpting applicators, and able to treat a larger area at once. The intense cold, delivered through the handpiece, will target and freeze the fat cells without damaging the skin. It is not uncommon to feel coolness while receiving treatment, but this should not cause great discomfort. As the applicators use suction to pull the fat into the area to be treated, you can expect to feel a minor tugging or pinching, but these are normal sensations. For most patients, the treatment area quickly numbs to any sensations.

What Can I expect during and After Coolsculpting Elite?

As CoolSculpting Elite is noninvasive, you can return to normal activities after treatment. Typically, you can return to work or school immediately following your CoolSculpting procedure. Side effects of CoolSculpting usually include stinging, redness, swelling, bruising, and soreness of the treatment area. These side effects are temporary and typically subside in the hours following your procedure. You should expect to enjoy results in as little as three weeks, with the most impressive results appearing 1 – 3 months after your CoolSculpting Elite treatment.
