If you’re looking into fat freezing treatments you’ve likely come across CoolSculpting® and are wondering what the differences between the Elite Coolsculpting and the standard version are. In this article we’ll talk you through what makes the Elite procedure different and why you should choose it.

Key Takeaways

  • CoolSculpting® Elite achieves fat removal of 25% in just a single treatment, which is 18% more than the maximum standard CoolSculpting® results per treatment cycle.
  • CoolSculpting® Elite is a more efficient and effective version of standard CoolSculpting®, which achieves fat removal of 25% in just a single treatment - 18% more than the maximum standard CoolSculpting®.
  • Elite's ‘C’ shaped applicators are designed to fit the natural curves of the body more comfortably, allowing for a more customised and efficient fat reduction treatment than the ‘U’ shaped legacy applicators of standard CoolSculpting®.
  • While Elite delivers more significant fat reduction in fewer sessions, maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-treatment is essential for sustaining results, and it can be combined with other treatments like EMSculpt for comprehensive body contouring.

Understanding CoolSculpting®: The Basics

In terms of results, CoolSculpting® Elite achieves fat removal of 25% in just a single treatment, which is 18% more than the maximum standard CoolSculpting® results per treatment cycle. Thanks to its larger applicators and enhanced cooling technology, CoolSculpting® Elite offers great results with fewer treatment sessions.

Its advanced technology also contributes to faster results and less discomfort, improving upon the standard CoolSculpting® experience.

Comfort and Safety: Enhanced Benefits of CoolSculpting® Elite

Beyond promising fantastic results, CoolSculpting® Elite also offers a safer and more comfortable treatment experience. Patients often describe the sensation during a CoolSculpting® Elite procedure as a cold pinching sensation that quickly becomes more comfortable as the area numbs. The enhanced freezing technology reduces discomfort by allowing the treatment area to freeze faster.

With CoolSculpting® Elite, some side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site are typically temporary and disappear quickly following the treatment, as the surrounding tissues remain unaffected.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for CoolSculpting® Elite?

Ideal candidates are typically within 20 pounds of their ideal body weight. The procedure is particularly suitable for individuals who maintain a fairly active lifestyle with minimal weight fluctuations.

It’s designed to target and permanently remove unwanted body fat, specifically in areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping you get rid of unwanted body fat more effectively.

Maintaining Results: The Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle

Despite the impressive results of CoolSculpting® Elite, it should not replace a healthy lifestyle. To ensure the longevity of CoolSculpting® results, it’s crucial to engage in a balanced diet and a regular exercise regimen. If a patient does not adhere to a healthy lifestyle post-treatment, the remaining fat cells in the body can enlarge.

Summary

To sum up, Elite CoolSculpting® is a much improved treatment to standard CoolSculpting® with its advanced technology, dual applicator system, and superior freezing technology. It provides more efficient, faster, and comfortable treatments with fewer sessions. However, the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle cannot be overstated to preserve these spectacular results. So, why wait? Step up your body contouring game with Elite CoolSculpting®.
