CoolSculpting® Elite

• FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring technology
• Eliminates up to 20-25% of treated fat cells for good in 9 different areas
• Targets stubborn fat in the areas that bother you the most
• Freezes twice the stubborn fat at once with our new dual applicators

What does it do?
The CoolSculpting® Elite technology uses controlled cooling to target and freezes a portion of the fat cells under your skin. In the weeks that follow treatment, the body naturally begins to process the fat cells that were frozen during treatment and remove them from the treatment site thereby affecting the appearance of the treated bulge. You may start to see changes in as early as four weeks after your CoolSculpting® Elite procedure and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body will continue to naturally process the injured fat cells for weeks to months after your procedure. Results may take up to 6 months to become visible. Visible results can vary from person to person.

How is it used? What does it feel like?
The CoolSculpting® Elite System is a prescription use-only device and may only be used by or on the order of a physician. Your practitioner will discuss your individual treatment plan and will select the appropriate applicator for your needs. Some applicators use vacuums and others do not. During your treatment, a gel or gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. Applicators that use a vacuum will draw the tissue into the applicator cup. You may feel a deep pulling, tugging, and mild pinching. With a non-vacuum surface applicator, you may experience sensations of pressure. Controlled cooling is then delivered to the targeted fat so you may feel intense cold, stinging, tingling, aching, or cramping as the treatment begins but these sensations typically subside as the area becomes numb. In some cases, you may feel a pulsatile massage. Upon removal of the applicator, you may see a frozen bulge at the treatment area (known as a “butter stick”). The physician may apply manual massage to rewarm and smooth out the treated area.

What will it accomplish?
For most patients, the CoolSculpting® Elite procedure reduces the appearance of a visible fat bulge in the treatment area.

Are there any reasons I should not get the CoolSculpting® Elite procedure?
You should inform your physician of your entire medical history.
You should not have the treatment if you are seeking treatment for obesity as CoolSculpting® Elite is not a weight-loss treatment.
You should not have treatment if you have one of the below conditions:
• Cryoglobulinemia, a condition in which an abnormal level of cryoglobulins (proteins which thicken in cold temperatures) are present in the blood.
• Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, a blood disorder in which a change from cold to warm temperatures leads to red blood cell death.
• Cold agglutinin disease, an autoimmune disease in which exposure of blood to cold temperatures leads to red blood cell death.
