Are areas of stubborn fat getting in the way of your body-sculpting goals? CoolSculpting® Elite freezes the fat in your most difficult areas to give you a slimmer figure. This non-invasive fat removal treatment can help you achieve your goals and see the contours you have worked for.
What is CoolSculpting® Elite?
Non-invasive body sculpting is a fat removal technique that uses various methods to break up fat cells without harming the skin. CoolSculpting® Elite uses cryolipolysis, the process of freezing fat cells to eliminate them. This treatment uses a temperature that affects fat cells without freezing other tissues. You can have CoolSculpting® Elite in many areas, including the abdomen, thighs, under the buttocks, and under the chin.
What to Expect During CoolSculpting® Elite
A board-certified dermatologist performs all CoolSculpting® Elite procedures at Krauss Dermatology. Treatment lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and you can treat two areas at once. You may feel cold and tingling when treatment begins, but your skin will go numb, allowing you to relax. You can read, answer emails, or even take a quick nap during your session.
How Can I Speed Up Fat Loss After CoolSculpting® Elite?
Your CoolSculpting® Elite treatment freezes and breaks up a specific number of fat cells. While you cannot increase the amount of fat removed, you can help your body speed up the removal of these damaged cells. Your lymphatic system filters away the remnants of your fat cells. You can take these steps to help this system do its work:
- Stay hydrated
- Engage in physical activity
- Massage the treatment area as instructed
- Avoid alcohol and smoking
No matter what you do, CoolSculpting® Elite results take time. You may see results after several weeks, but full results take up to three months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, especially good hydration and physical activity, improves lymphatic circulation and may help results develop somewhat more quickly.

How Long Do CoolSculpting® Elite Results Last?
Your body stops producing new fat cells at a very early age. The fat cells removed by CoolSculpting® Elite will not return. CoolSculpting® Elite removes up to 25% of fat with each treatment with lifelong results. Maintaining your results requires a healthy lifestyle and consistent weight.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite?
CoolSculpting® Elite is an effective fat removal and body contouring option for those wanting to target areas of stubborn fat. Good candidates have reasonable expectations and are in generally good health. CoolSculpting® Elite is not a weight loss treatment, so you should expect body sculpting but not weight loss. You may not be a good candidate if you are pregnant or have medical conditions that make your skin sensitive to the cold.
