Why Choose Lazaderm
What Is CoolSculpting® Elite?
CoolSculpting® Elite is the most advanced noninvasive fat reduction technology available, and the only FDA-approved treatment that can eliminate fat in nine different areas of the body. The technical name for the process is cryolipolysis: your provider applies cooling technology to targeted fat cells, which triggers your body to naturally break them down and eliminate them over the following weeks.
The Elite system’s applicators are shaped to better fit your body’s natural curves and offer up to 18% more cooling area than the previous generation of CoolSculpting devices. Two applicators can even be used at once, treating twice the fat area and saving you time in the chair.
Areas Treated With CoolSculpting® Elite
- Under the chin
- Below the jawline
- Love handles (flanks)
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Medial thighs
- Lateral thighs
- Anterior and posterior bra fat
- Upper arms
- Back fat
- Underneath the buttocks (banana roll)
- Medial knees
Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite?
CoolSculpting® Elite is a good fit for patients close to their goal weight who have specific, stubborn pockets of fat that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. It’s not a weight-loss treatment and isn’t designed for large-volume fat reduction; patients looking for that level of change are better served by a surgical option like liposuction.
The Pros and Cons of CoolSculpting® Elite
CoolSculpting isn’t the right fit for everyone, and it’s worth understanding its limitations alongside its benefits.
Pros: no downtime, no anesthesia, manageable discomfort, permanent fat reduction, no scars, and the ease and convenience of an in-office session.
Cons: results are gradual rather than immediate, multiple treatments are often needed, it’s less precise than liposuction for larger-volume changes, it’s not designed for large-volume fat removal, and it isn’t a weight-loss treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis to apply controlled cooling to targeted fat cells, which triggers your body’s own process to naturally break down and eliminate those cells over the following weeks.
What should I expect with CoolSculpting treatment?
You may feel intense cold, tingling, or mild pulling for the first few minutes, followed by numbness as the area cools. Most patients relax comfortably through the rest of the session, then return to normal activities immediately afterward.
Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite?
Good candidates are close to their goal weight with specific, stubborn fat pockets that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. It’s not designed for significant weight loss or large-volume fat reduction.
Where does the treated fat go?
The cooling process damages the treated fat cells, and your body naturally flushes them out through its own metabolic processes over the following weeks and months.
How long do results last?
Results are permanent in the treated fat cells, which don’t return once eliminated. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps ensure remaining fat cells in the area don’t enlarge over time.
Will I lose weight with CoolSculpting® Elite?
No. CoolSculpting is a body contouring treatment, not a weight-loss method. It’s designed to reduce fat in specific, stubborn areas rather than reduce overall body weight.
How long does the CoolSculpting® Elite procedure take?
Session length depends on the area and number of applicators used. Your provider will confirm timing for your specific treatment plan at your consultation.
How soon will I see results from CoolSculpting® Elite?
You may start seeing changes after a few weeks, with the most noticeable results typically appearing around two to three months post-treatment. Your body continues flushing out treated fat cells for up to six months.
Are there any risks or complications associated with CoolSculpting® Elite?
Common, temporary side effects include numbness, discomfort, and swelling in the treated area. Your provider will review your full history at your consultation to confirm candidacy.
What are the alternatives to CoolSculpting?
For more significant or precise fat reduction, liposuction is the surgical alternative. Non-surgical options for skin quality and body contouring include Zimmer Z Wave and Z Shape, and Avéli for cellulite.
