When was CoolSculpting FDA cleared?
Developed by world renowned physicians, CoolSculpting was cleared for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2010, Health Canada and the European Union. As the most popular non-surgical body contouring device, CoolSculpting is cleared for use in over 80 countries worldwide, has 17+ million treatments performed, and has been studied more extensively than any other body sculpting technology.
Is it safe?
CoolSculpting Elite® systems are controlled cooling devices designed with built-in safety measures. If sensors detect that the skin is getting too cold, the system will shut down automatically. Best of all, the new treatment applicators feature a larger cooling area for the ability to treat ten percent more tissue at a deeper level, allowing for greater efficacy—all with less likelihood of side effects.
Does it hurt?
For the vast majority of patients, CoolSculpting Elite is not painful or uncomfortable. The newly engineered applicators provide greater comfort levels with 45 percent less discomfort than original CoolSculpting®. During the initial several minutes of the procedure, patients may experience a crampy cold sensation, and some may experience pulling, tugging, mild pinching, tingling, stinging and aching at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Many patients sleep during the procedure. When the applicators are removed and the 2 minute massage is performed, patients can sometimes experience temporary stinging, cramping and tingling, and a short-lived pin prick sensation.
Will it damage my skin?
No. Fat freezes at a different temperature than skin, which is how CoolSculpting Elite is able to specifically target fat cells while not damaging surrounding tissues.
How many procedures have been done?
As the world's leading non-surgical fat reduction treatment, more than 17 million CoolSculpting treatments in over 80 countries have been performed worldwide.
Which areas can be treated?
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared AND Health Canada approved for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner thigh, outer thigh (saddle bag), along with front bra fat (axillary puff), back fat, underneath the buttocks (banana roll), upper arms, knees and the submental areas (double chin).
Does CoolSculpting Elite tighten the skin?
This is a great question which many patients have. CoolSculpting Elite is brilliant at permanently eliminating fat, however, it is not designed to tighten skin. Choosing candidates who are ideal and aligning expectations is so important. In our 8 years of experience, and thousands of treatments performed, we have never seen skin laxity be an issue post treatment.
Is there downtime?
Unlike liposuction, there is no downtime after the procedure. Patients return to daily activites immediately after the procedure.
Are there any side effects?
Following the procedure, typical side effects may include tingling, tenderness, cramping, redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, stinging, aching, itching, skin sensitivity and numbness. These side effects are all very temporary and generally resolve within days or weeks.
Will I be bored during treatment?
Not at all! This is your time to escape. You'll receive treatment in a spa-like relaxing suite with access to Netflix, healthy snacks, other services and treatments, and a complimentary gourmet lunch prepared by our Cordon-Bleu-trained chef for those planning a longer stay. Some patients catch up on reading or work, however the majority of our CoolSculpting Elite patients love the pampered "me" time.
How many treatments are required?
We believe in outcome and optimal results, therefore we stand by ‘Treatment to Transformation’. Patients can typically expect a minimum two treatment visits for optimal results, spaced 12 weeks apart.
How much does it cost?
We are thrilled to share that pricing has dramatically improved with the newly engineered Elite! Pricing is no longer based on the number of applicators needed per area or per visit, which used to mean that the more applicators needed, the higher the plan cost. With the new Elite system, we are so thrilled to say that our pricing has dramatically improved, and every plan ensures ‘Treatment To Transformation’! This will lower plan pricing in many cases by UP TO 60%!! Plus, any additional area you wish to transform during this time eg the flanks, chin, back bra, male chest….are 50% off the already new and improved pricing! So, bottom line, every treatment plan is possible!!

How do I know if CoolSculpting Elite is right for me?
If you're looking for a non-surgical method of eliminating stubborn fat in specific areas, for good, CoolSculpting Elite is the solution.
What kind of results do people see?
While some results may be noticeable within 4-6 weeks, expect the most noticeable results to be apparent at 12 weeks after treatment, even up to 6 months. Why? The reason is because it takes the body this time to fully flush the dead fat cells through our lymphatic system.
