Revolutionizing Non-Invasive Fat Reduction for Confident Body Contouring

At Garramone Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ralph Garramone and his team provide personalized CoolSculpting Elite treatments tailored to your unique body goals. You can trust our expertise to help you achieve the sculpted look you desire without the risks and recovery associated with surgical procedures.

What Is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is a noninvasive fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis to freeze and destroy fat cells. The device applies precise cooling to your target areas, crystallizing fat cells without harming surrounding tissues. Your body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells over time.

Elite offers several advancements over its predecessor:

  • The new system features redesigned applicators that cover 18% more surface area, allowing for faster and more efficient treatments
  • Elite's C-shaped applicators conform better to your body's natural curves, providing improved comfort and more even results
  • The system can treat two areas simultaneously, reducing your overall treatment time
  • You'll also benefit from enhanced tissue draw, which means more fat cells can be targeted in each session, producing potentially better outcomes and fewer treatments needed to achieve your desired results

What are the Benefits of CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite offers a revolutionary approach to body contouring without surgery or downtime. Here are its top three benefits:

Non-Invasive Nature

  • Elite uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells without incisions or anesthesia. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
  • The procedure is comfortable, allowing you to relax during the session. No needles or surgical instruments are involved, making it an excellent option if you're wary of invasive procedures.
  • Elite's non-invasive nature means minimal risk of complications. You won't have to worry about surgical scars or extended recovery periods.

Effectiveness

  • CoolSculpting Elite can reduce fat in treated areas by 20-25%. Results typically become visible within 1-3 months after treatment.
  • The procedure permanently targets and eliminates fat cells. Once these cells are gone, they don't regenerate, leading to long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
  • CoolSculpting Elite's effectiveness extends to multiple body areas. It can treat stubborn fat in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin.

Safety Profile

  • CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared for fat reduction in nine body areas, demonstrating its safety and efficacy.
  • The treatment uses precise cooling technology to target fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. This selective approach minimizes the risk of damage to skin, nerves, or muscles.
  • Side effects are typically mild and temporary. You might experience redness, swelling, or numbness in the treated area, but these usually resolve within a few days to weeks.

During the Coolsculpting Treatment

On the day of your CoolSculpting Elite session, you'll be made comfortable in a treatment room. The technician will apply a protective gel pad to the target area and position the applicator.

As the device is activated, you'll feel intense cold and possibly some pulling or tugging sensations. These feelings typically subside within 5-10 minutes as the area becomes numb.

Each treatment cycle lasts about 35-45 minutes. During this time, you can relax, read, or use your phone. Depending on your plan, multiple areas can be treated in a single visit.

Coolsculpting Aftercare and Follow-Up

After your CoolSculpting Elite treatment, you can immediately return to normal activities. The treated area may feel numb, tingly, or slightly sore for a few days.

You might experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness, which typically resolves within 1-2 weeks. Wearing compression garments can help minimize these side effects.

Results begin to appear in 3-4 weeks, with full effects visible after 2-3 months. Dr. Garramone will schedule follow-up appointments to track your progress and discuss any additional treatments if needed.

Expectations and Results

Multiple sessions may be needed for more dramatic changes. The procedure doesn't cause weight loss but rather contours specific areas. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving your long-term results.

Finally, it's essential to have realistic expectations. CoolSculpting Elite won't give you six-pack abs or completely transform your body shape. It's designed to complement your existing healthy habits and target stubborn fat pockets.

What is CoolSculpting Elite, and how does it differ from the original CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting Elite is the latest advancement in non-surgical fat reduction technology. It uses the same cryolipolysis process as the original CoolSculpting but with an updated design and enhanced capabilities. CoolSculpting Elite features re-engineered applicators that allow for better tissue contact, more even cooling, and the ability to treat two areas simultaneously, making the procedure more efficient and comfortable.

Is CoolSculpting Elite a safe procedure?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, and side effects are typically mild and temporary.

How long does a CoolSculpting Elite treatment session take?

Each CoolSculpting Elite treatment session typically lasts 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the treated area. Because CoolSculpting Elite can target two areas simultaneously, the overall treatment time can be shorter than with the original CoolSculpting.

How soon will I see results after CoolSculpting Elite?

Most patients start to notice visible results within three weeks after their CoolSculpting Elite procedure. The most dramatic results typically appear after two months, but the body can continue eliminating fat cells for up to six months following treatment.

How many CoolSculpting Elite sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on your goals and the treatment areas. Many patients achieve their desired results after just one or two sessions per area. During your consultation, your provider will create a customized treatment plan to meet your specific needs.

Are the results from CoolSculpting Elite permanent?

Yes, the fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting Elite are permanently removed from the body. However, it's crucial to maintain a stable weight through diet and exercise, as significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to expand.
