What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-approved treatment that eliminates up to 50% of targeted fat cells in just a few treatments. Sessions take about one to four hours, depending on your customized treatment plan—and you can get right back to your day-to-day activities after.

How it works.

CoolSculpting Elite uses cyrolipolysis, which is a process that targets and freezes stubborn fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. After the targeted cells are frozen, your body begins eliminating those cells, and you’ll begin to see results.

CoolSculpting Elite FAQs
  • What should I expect during a treatment?

    The visit starts with the provider gathering photos to track your results throughout your treatment and then mapping the treatment areas. They will then apply a clear gel pad to create a barrier between the CoolSculpting Elite applicator and your skin. Your clinician will then treat the area with the applicator. At this point, you may feel a tugging sensation as the applicator is applied as the fat tissue is drawn into the applicator cup. The applicator will cool the treatment area, and you may feel an intense cold sensation for about 10 minutes, followed by numbness.

  • What does it feel like?

    Most patients experience slight discomfort when the CoolSculpting Elite applicators begin cooling the treatment area. You may feel pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching and cramping sensations at the treatment site, but these feelings tend to subside once the area is numbed during treatment. When the device is removed at the end of treatment, you may feel tenderness as the area “thaws” and discomfort as your clinician massages the area to break up the treated fat cells.

  • What is the difference between CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite?

    Unlike CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting Elite has two applicators that are reimagined to better fit your natural curves and improve tissue contact by up to 47%. The Skin Center’s Mt. Lebanon, PA location is equipped with two CoolSculpting Elite machines, which allow for quad-sculpting—meaning your clinician can treat four areas at once.

  • Is there any downtime after CoolSculpting Elite?

    You can return to your normal activities immediately following your CoolSculpting Elite treatment. That said, some patients feel tingling, twitching, numbness, redness, and swelling in the treated area for the first few days. Numbness may last for several weeks as normal sensation gradually returns. On very rare occasions, some people experience temporary nerve pain that dissipates in the weeks or months following treatment.

  • How long does it take to see results after CoolSculpting Elite?

    Results typically appear four to six weeks after treatment.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    Generally speaking, patients typically need two CoolSculpting Elite sessions to reach their goals. Some patients may need additional treatments to achieve the best results.

  • Is CoolSculpting Elite right for me?

    The ideal candidate for CoolSculpting Elite is at or near a healthy weight and struggling to eliminate bulges or stubborn pockets of fat. CoolSculpting Elite is not a weight loss solution, and it is not appropriate for obese individuals. To learn more, schedule a complimentary consultation to determine if CoolSculpting Elite is right for you.

  • What are the benefits of CoolSculpting Elite versus other body contouring procedures such as surgery or laser liposuction?

    CoolSculpting Elite is your non-invasive method for permanent and natural-looking fat removal. It does not require anesthesia or incisions.

  • How much does it cost?

    The cost of CoolSculpting Elite depends on the number of treatment areas and your desired results. Schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your goals and receive a personalized treatment plan with a cost estimate.
