Coolsculpting elite

CoolSculpting Elite is generally very well tolerated, with most patients reporting only mild and temporary discomfort. When the applicator is first applied, you may experience a strong cooling sensation, suction, or a pulling sensation at the treatment site. This can be a bit startling at first, but the area quickly becomes numb within 5 to 10 minutes as the cold sets in.

During the 30-minute session, patients can relax, read, stream shows, or even nap. No needles, incisions, or anesthesia are required, making it a gentle alternative to more invasive fat reduction methods. After the procedure, it’s common to experience tingling, mild swelling, or tenderness; however, these side effects typically fade quickly and don’t interfere with daily activities.

The number of CoolSculpting Elite sessions you’ll need depends on several factors, including the treatment area, your desired outcome, and how your body responds to fat cell elimination. Many of our Los Angeles patients begin to see visible improvements after just one session, particularly in smaller areas such as the submental region (under the chin). However, more prominent or stubborn areas may require two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Fat loss will occur at a different rate for each client, but once the body eliminates the fat cells, they will not come back. You can help increase the longevity of your results by maintaining a healthy lifestyle of nutritious eating and regular exercise.

Yes, combining CoolSculpting Elite with other non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures in Los Angeles is common for even more dramatic body contouring results. Pairing CoolSculpting with skin-tightening treatments or muscle-toning technologies can further enhance the appearance of a firm, sculpted physique. Others may combine it with facial rejuvenation or injectables for a more comprehensive aesthetic refresh.

CoolSculpting is a safe, non-surgical procedure, provided you work with a licensed, experienced medical professional. It has been FDA-approved for use.

After your CoolSculpting appointment, you can return to your regular activities immediately. However, you may experience some soreness, swelling, redness, tingling, bruising, or cramping in the treated areas for a few days.

Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH) is an incredibly rare condition that develops in 1 in 20,000 CoolSculpting patients. There is no known cause yet for why PAH develops in some individuals, but we do know that it is very uncommon. If you’re concerned about this condition, please bring it up with us during your consultation.

Individuals with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should not do CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting targets and eliminates the fat cells during treatment; however, the surrounding fat cells will remain. If you gain weight after CoolSculpting (approximately 10 pounds or more), the remaining fat cells will likely grow and expand, potentially compromising your results. The best way to keep your CoolSculpting results is to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine after you’ve completed your CoolSculpting series of treatments.

Your CoolSculpting results will be permanent if you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine after completing your CoolSculpting series of treatments.

In CoolSculpting, the fat cells are eliminated through a process called “apoptosis,” in which the cell becomes smaller and separates from the surrounding fat cells. The surface of the cell then begins to disintegrate into fragments, vanishing like bubbles from a boiling pot of water. Eventually, the fat cell will die (collapse) and be removed from your body through your lymphatic system. This means that they are urinated out over the course of the following weeks.
