Do you have stubborn fat that you just can’t seem to shake, no matter how healthy you eat or exercise? CoolSculpting® Elite may be the answer you’ve been looking for to freeze away unwanted fat cells from problem areas such as inner/outer thighs, abdomen, love handles, upper arms and chin.
The CoolSculpting experts at Red Mountain Weight Loss® answer the most common questions patients ask to help you decide if this popular body contouring treatment is right for you.
What is CoolSculpting Elite?
CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that targets and permanently eliminates stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat. It uses a controlled freezing method called Cryolipolysis™ to crystallize the fat cells in the affected area. Once frozen, these fat cells are gone forever.
Who is the ideal candidate?
The treatment is ideal for those who want permanent results with no recovery or downtime. Patients within 10-15 pounds of their ideal weight or with stubborn areas that are difficult to eliminate despite diet and exercise are the best candidates for non-invasive body contouring.
How much weight will I lose?
CoolSculpting Elite is not a weight loss solution. Patients treated with CoolSculpting Elite will not notice weight loss. The applicator only penetrates the upper layers of fat under the skin, so the treatment is best used to eliminate small areas of stubborn fat. It cannot change the overall composition of the human body.
When will I see the results?
Patients usually notice results within four to six weeks after each treatment. Final results are seen within three to four months.
How many treatments do I need?
On average, a 20-25% reduction in subcutaneous volume is achieved with just one treatment. However, many patients are satisfied with their results after two treatments. Some patients may need additional treatment depending on their desired goals.
We recommend booking a free consultation with one of our CoolSculpting specialists to determine the best treatment plan for your desired goals.
How long will the treatment last?
The duration of treatment will depend on the number of areas treated. Typically, one treatment can last from one to three hours. During the treatment you can work on your laptop, listen to music, read or just relax.
Will the fat return?
Patients treated with CoolSculpting Elite are encouraged to maintain their current weight at the time of treatment to enjoy their results. Weight gain can cause remaining fat cells in the treated area to accumulate fat and increase in size, masking the results achieved after CoolSculpting Elite treatment.
Is maintenance treatment required?
CoolSculpting Elite results are permanent. However, additional treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Once desired results are achieved, results can be maintained with a healthy, active lifestyle.
Will CoolSculpting Elite tighten the skin?
CoolSculpting Elite targets fat, not skin laxity. Some patients notice that their skin “bounces back” after treatment, but this depends on the age and quality of the skin prior to the procedure.
It is always best to discuss any concerns with your CoolSculpting professional so they can develop a personalized treatment plan for you. To address this issue, we offer a non-invasive skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment (Venus Legacy™).
Is there a downtime?
There is no downtime with CoolSculpting Elite. Immediately after treatment, patients can return to their normal routine.
