Home/CoolSculpting® Elite

logoCoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells. It is FDA-approved to reduce fat in several areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and back. The fat cells are permanently destroyed, contributing to a slimmer physique and a positive self-image. Our team offers the advanced CoolSculpting Elite procedure and can customize treatment to meet your aesthetic goals without the need for surgery and with little to no downtime.

Our registered nurses perform CoolSculpting Elite at the Herte Center for Cosmetic Surgery, ensuring you receive care from the most experienced professionals possible. They have attended CoolSculpting University and regularly attend courses put on by the elite training program. This provides our team with an advanced level of expertise in the procedure, helping patients achieve superior results.

What is CoolSculpting® Elite?

At the Herte Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we now offer CoolSculpting Elite for patients, making us one of six centers in the Las Vegas-area offering the new Elite technology. The innovative Elite technology still offers all of the benefits of the original method, including being non-invasive, freezing fat using cryolipolysis, and offering little to no downtime. It is also cleared by the FDA for treatment on nine areas of the body, including:

  • Inner, outer, and distal thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks or love handles
  • Back
  • Underneath the buttocks / banana roll
  • Upper arms
  • Submental area under the chin
  • Submandibular area under the jawline
  • Bra fat

This latest office addition takes the body contouring treatment to the next level. The new improvements courtesy of CoolSculpting Elite include a C-shaped applicator that comes in seven different shapes and sizes. The design covers an increased surface area as it fits the body’s natural curves better and offers improved skin contact. Patients may see faster results in fewer sessions as two applicators treating two areas can be used during a single session, instead of just one applicator with the original CoolSculpting machine. The technology is also quieter and more precise than its predecessor.

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite?

Typically, good candidates for CoolSculpting Elite have noticeable bulges of stubborn fat that do not respond to exercise or dieting. The CoolSculpting Elite procedure is not a weight loss solution; it is, however, generally considered a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

How is the CoolSculpting® Elite Procedure Performed?

Before your CoolSculpting Elite procedure, one of our registered nurses will assess your target areas through a process known as body mapping. Based on this information, they can customize the ideal treatment plan to help you achieve your contouring goals.

During the procedure, the CoolSculpting Elite applicators are placed on the treatment areas, delivering extremely cold temperatures to the fat cells beneath the skin. This process is medically referred to as “cryolipolysis,” and your skin will be protected throughout. Patients are free to relax throughout their session. Most do not consider CoolSculpting Elite to be painful. You may experience mild pinching, numbness, pulling, or tugging. With the updated freezing technology of CoolSculpting Elite, patients may find that those previous feelings of discomfort are reduced.

In the following weeks, your body should naturally shed the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system, resulting in their permanent elimination. You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks to three months after your treatment, with the most dramatic results often appearing at three months. Patients will generally enjoy the more sculpted look made possible by CoolSculpting.

What Does the CoolSculpting® Elite Recovery Process Entail?

The CoolSculpting Elite treatment is completely non-surgical, so you should be able to return to normal activities immediately. Oftentimes, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting Elite session is over. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, stinging, or pain.

How Many CoolSculpting® Elite Sessions Will I Need?

Depending on your desires for the outcome, we may suggest multiple treatment sessions in order to better meet your goals. In any case, we will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to fully address your concerns. The length of each CoolSculpting Elite session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during your visit and personal body contouring needs.
