Benefits of CoolSculpting® Elite
Natural
Unlike other fat-reduction procedures that use lasers, sonic waves, and surgical intervention, fat-freezing treatment works with your body’s natural processes.
Noninvasive
Its patented procedure uses targeted cooling below the skin’s surface to freeze unwanted fat cells to the point of reduction. No other tissue is frozen in the process. Only the fat cells are targeted, which means no knives, no needles, no suction, and no scars during this fat-freezing treatment.
Minimal Downtime
Perhaps the best part of fat-freezing treatment is the minimal downtime it entails. The treatment itself takes very little time, making it simple to fit into your daily schedule. What’s more, after your treatment, you may even be able to get right back to your busy routine.
How It Works
CoolSculpting® Elite is exactly what it sounds like: sculpting your body with cooling. When the temperature of your body’s fat cells hits around 40 degrees, they die with no harm to the nearby organs or skin. This results in about a 20% reduction in fat cells in the treated area, with full effects taking between 2 and 4 months. However, there is no anesthesia, surgery, or needles, making this a non-invasive procedure.
The secret lies in a method called cryolipolysis, which means fat freezing. Frozen fat cells undergo apoptosis, a natural process in which they die and fade away. During this process, which can take 4 to 6 months to complete, the fat cells are consumed by white blood cells, filtered, and processed by the body.
CoolSculpting® Elite: The Next Generation of Non-Surgical Fat Reduction At Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins, CO, CoolSculpting® Elite is an FDA-cleared option for stubborn fat reduction without surgery, needles, or downtime. Using precisely controlled cooling, the treatment targets fat cells beneath the skin through a process called cryolipolysis. Once frozen, these fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time, creating a more sculpted appearance.
With dual applicators and an updated design, this fat-freezing treatment can address multiple areas more efficiently than earlier systems. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, chin, and upper arms. Whether you are close to your ideal weight or looking to refine specific contours, this non-surgical approach offers gradual, natural-looking stubborn fat reduction with little interruption to your routine.

What to Expect
Scientists in Massachusetts developed this FDA-approved fat-freezing treatment. The treatment is quick and has minimal downtime. During treatment, the fat is drawn into a cooling panel, where you will only feel a cold sensation. After about five minutes, the area goes numb. You will either be seated or lying down during the treatment. You can even watch TV, catch up on emails, or read a book during your treatment session. CoolSculpting® is a great alternative to liposuction, as there are no incisions.

How The New CoolSculpting® Elite is Different
Thanks to its unique C-shaped handles, CoolSculpting® Elite is designed to target a larger area of your treatment area. In fact, clinical trials demonstrated that it can target an area 18% larger, meaning more of your desired treatment area can be treated with this new technology. In addition, the target tissue fills and contacts the entire cooling area more effectively than with the old handpieces, making the most of each cycle and allowing better destruction of fat cells.
The previous generation of technology was limited to a single handle, limiting the number of body areas treated during a single appointment. With the updated system, two applicators can be used simultaneously, making it easier to support more efficient stubborn fat reduction in a single session.
The new Coolsculpting® Elite handpieces feature superior, gentle vacuum technology and improved C-shaped cups, resulting in less tissue squeezing. The result is a very comfortable treatment, even when 2 areas are treated simultaneously, with no downtime.
