Treatment time

Depending on the area, treatment time can be done in as little as 35 minutes.

What should the patient expect during treatment

  • The applicator will be placed on the treatment area, and there will be a slight sucking sensation as it adheres to the body, followed by the signature cooling effect.
  • During the procedure the patient may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site.
  • These sensations subside as the area becomes numb.
  • After the applicator is detached, the provider will do a brief massage on the area to break up the treated fat cells and enhance the fat reduction.

# treatments needed

  • Patients can expect to see a 20-25% fat reduction in the treated area after a single treatment.
  • It depends on the person and the area being treated.
  • The provider will assist the patient in making the determination if additional treatments are needed to reach the patient’s goals.

Downtime

Coolsculpting Elite is a non-surgical alternative that has little to no downtime.

When to resume normal activities

No Coolsculpting Elite facts to directly answer.  However we found this declaration, “with little to no downtime.”

When will results be seen

  • Changes can be seen as soon as 1-3 months after treatment.
  • Final results may take up to 6 months or more.

How long will results last

No Coolsculpting Elite facts on the manufacturer website(s) answer directly to this, but we located these statements, “Since Coolsculpting Elite is not a weight loss treatment, it is possible to gain weight post treatment if you don’t keep up your healthy habits.  This kind of weight gain will most likely happen evenly throughout your body, not just in treatment areas.”

Marketing message for consumers/prospective patients

Coolsculpting Elite applies targeted cooling to trouble spots to freeze and eliminate fat cells.  It can reduce stubborn fat by up to 20-25% in the treatment areas, all with little to no downtime and no surgery.
