What is CoolSculpting® Elite?

CoolSculpting® Elite is the third generation of the revolutionary CoolSculpting® device. It provides the latest and most advanced version of “fat freezing.” CoolSculpting® itself is an FDA-cleared non-surgical fat reduction procedure that uses cooling technology to remove excess stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting® has been available in the U.S. for 10 years and taps into the power of cryolipolysis to dissolve stubborn fat pockets.

With CoolSculpting® Elite, you will be receiving the most advanced, cutting-edge treatment option to destroy fat cells.

The result? A slimmer, sculpted, trimmer you.

Originally developed by researchers from Harvard, CoolSculpting® delivers noticeable results without surgery or downtime.  The third-generation CoolSculpting® Elite targets fat and reduces fat pockets by 25% with each treatment. The newest version of CoolSculpting® works, better, faster, and more effectively to treat stubborn belly fat, the flank/side, back, inner and outer thighs, saddle bags, thighs, upper arms, and double chin. New technology destroys excess fat cells without harming surrounding tissue so you can enjoy results without the extended recovery of surgical fat removal.

The Procedure

At Janiga MDs, we will develop a customized treatment plan based on your specific areas of concern and your goals.

To start your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment, the body is examined, and treatment zones are mapped out. A gel pad is then applied to your targeted area and a vacuum applicator is applied drawing the targeted area into the applicator cup. Applicators are secured to the treatment area, delivering controlled cooling to the area for 35-45 minutes.

It’s not unusual to feel pressure combined with a cold sensation on your skin. You may experience a pulling feeling accompanied by a tugging or pinching sensation. Many CoolSculpting® Elite patients choose to read, check emails, or take a nap during their customized treatment.

Recovery & Results

There is minimal discomfort and recovery time with CoolSculpting® Elite. You can return to work, exercise, and other daily activities after your body treatment.

You’ll start to see results in as little as three weeks, as the cooled fat cells begin to flush from the body. The body naturally processes excess fat accumulation through metabolic pathways. Results of smoothing and contouring continue to improve over the course of three to four months.
