What Areas Can Be Treated With CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared body contouring procedure that reduces areas of stubborn fat without surgery. Commonly treated areas include:

  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Abdomen (tummy)
  • Back (upper and lower)
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Armpit fat
  • Upper arms
  • Double chin

Although CoolSculpting Elite treatments reduce fat, they are not designed for people who want to lose a significant amount of weight. Rather, good candidates are in good overall health and want to tone and sculpt specific areas of their bodies where they can’t seem to lose stubborn fat.

Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting Elite?

Man getting CoolSculpting Elite on his love handles and flanksAnyone who has pockets of unwanted fat that are resistant to diet and exercise is a candidate for CoolSculpting Elite. We recommend that patients be at or close to their ideal weight before treatment. This is not a weight loss procedure. CoolSculpting Elite works to freeze and remove areas of unwanted fat on the arms, legs, back, and abdomen.

How Does CoolSculpting Elite Work?

A pair of Harvard University scientists developed the CoolSculpting technique based on the concept of cryolipolysis, which uses cold temperatures to freeze fat cells. CoolSculpting Elite treatments safely kill fat cells because they freeze at higher temperatures without harming skin or other cells. Treated fat cells die and are gradually absorbed by the body’s natural cleansing process. (See animation video.)

A clinical study found that: “Treatment resulted in a normalized fat layer reduction of 20.4% at 2 months and 25.5% at 6 months after treatment.”1

What Happens at a CoolSculpting Elite Consultation?

Women and men interested in CoolSculpting Elite will first have a complimentary consultation with Dr. Guenther or one of our certified practitioners to determine whether the treatment is suited to their individual needs and goals. Although CoolSculpting Elite treatments can reduce fat by as much as 20% to 25% in one area1, patients who want more extensive reduction may be better suited for surgical treatment. In this case, Dr. Guenther may suggest liposuction as a more appropriate treatment path.

What Happens During a CoolSculpting Elite Treatment?

CoolSculpting Elite treatments are performed in the safety of our privately owned plastic surgery office under the direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dax Guenther. Because the CoolSculpting Elite device allows us to treat 2 areas with 1 machine, we make treatments of multiple areas twice as fast. This process, sometimes called DualSculpting, allows us to treat 2 areas in as little as 35 minutes instead of 2 hours like traditional CoolSculpting.

Once the CoolSculpting Elite applicator is placed over the area of fat and turned on, patients may feel tugging, pinching, or numbness at first. The procedure itself involves little discomfort for most patients, who usually liken it to the cold and numbing sensation of using an icepack. Patients often read, use mobile devices, or even nap during the treatment.

What Can I Expect After CoolSculpting Elite?

Because CoolSculpting is a completely non-surgical treatment, most patients return to their daily activities immediately afterward. Redness, swelling, bruising and some temporary numbness are typical side effects that fade soon after the procedure.

How Long Does It Take to Start Seeing CoolSculpting Elite Results?

Although you may notice some slimming as early as 3 weeks after the treatment, the results will become more dramatic after 2 months. Fat cells are naturally absorbed and flushed out from your body’s system during the ensuing 4 to 6 months. Destroyed fat cells are gone for good, but remaining fat cells can still expand. A healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and good nutrition will help you enjoy your toned physique for years to come.

If you are ready to take the next step to sculpt your body and remove unwanted fat, request a consultation for CoolSculpting Elite at our Hingham or Nantucket locations with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dax Guenther or call us at (781) 740-7840 to speak with one of our team members today.
