What is Coolsculpting Elite?
A procedure known as cryolipolysis is employed by CoolSculpting Elite, a non-invasive, non-surgical fat reduction treatment, to freeze fat cells. The outer membrane of these cells degrades due to the controlled cooling, permanently eliminating excess fat from the treated area. Targeting subcutaneous fat without harming surrounding tissues or your skin is the major advantage of CoolSculpting® ELITE.
How does the Coolsculpting Elite work? (The procedure)
Prior to treatment: Our doctor will discuss a comprehensive strategy to your body-reshaping goals. The doctor will next discuss with you the precise locations where you desire to eliminate fat. The doctor will arrange the therapy with you and schedule a follow-up appointment in about 1-3 months.
During the treatment, a gel pad and applicator will be placed to the desired location. The coolsculpting applicator applies regulated cooling to the targeted fat. The therapy takes around 30-35 minutes. During the first 5-10 minutes, you may experience cold, pulling, tugging, or slight pinching. These sensations normally fade when the area turns numb.
After the procedure: Common side effects include transient redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, stinging, soreness, and itching. These symptoms are only transitory and often go away within a few days. In around three weeks, your body gradually burns fat and eliminates dead cells.
Fat Reduction VS Weight Loss
The majority of individuals assume that weight loss and fat reduction are synonymous. In fact, they are not.
When you lose weight, the fat cells become smaller but the number of fat cells remains constant. When you gain weight, the fat cells regain their original size or become larger.
On the contrary, fat reduction permanently lowers the number of fat cells in the parts of your body that CoolSculpting treated. Fat cells that have died appear to be incapable of enlargement.
Why is the Coolsculpting ELITE better?
The main difference between the old version of Coolsculpting and Coolsculpting Elite is efficiency, for instance achieving the desired outcomes of the client with minimal discomfort.
1.What improvements does CoolSculpting Elite offer? Although both CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite effectively reduce fat in both men and women, the enhanced features of CoolSculpting Elite have rapidly established it as the preferred choice among both CoolSculpting technicians and patients.
2. CoolSculpting Elite comes with upgraded applicators, featuring dual applicators available in seven different shapes and sizes to ensure greater efficiency and improved comfort. Its design is more aligned with the natural curves of the body. With paired applicators, Coolsculpting Elite treatments cover twice the surface area compared to traditional CoolSculpting, leading to a significant reduction in treatment times. In contrast, earlier CoolSculpting devices had a single treatment area, and the applicators were not as versatile for various parts of the body.
3.The improved applicators of CoolSculpting Elite make better contact with the skin's surface, intensifying the cooling effects on targeted fat cells. Consequently, CoolSculpting Elite achieves 25-27% fat removal in a single treatment, surpassing the 18-20% fat removal achieved by earlier CoolSculpting technology.
4.CoolSculpting Elite also delivers faster body contouring results by covering approximately 18% more surface area per applicator. This increased coverage facilitates quicker and more efficient fat reduction. Additionally, the availability of two applicators for symmetrical side-to-side treatment allows patients to address multiple areas simultaneously, resulting in shorter treatment times compared to the traditional CoolSculpting method.
While many patients still benefit from multiple fat-freezing treatments for optimal body contouring results, CoolSculpting Elite generally requires fewer sessions and less treatment time for patients to reach their desired outcomes.
