CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical, non-invasive body contouring procedure that removes excess body fat. Like the original CoolSculpting technology, it does this by freezing and destroying fat cells in a process known as cryolipolysis. However, it features several improvements that make it even more efficient! Sometimes, to our frustration, stubborn pockets of fat remain on our bodies in spite of a healthy diet and regular exercise. CoolSculpting Elite provides patients with a safe and effective way to deal with these hurdles and bring them one step closer to the body they want.

CoolSculpting has been a trending body contouring treatment since it received FDA approval in 2009.(1) Introduced in 2021, CoolSculpting Elite represents the latest advancement in CoolSculpting technology – offering faster results with fewer treatment sessions and a more comfortable procedure. CoolSculpting Elite features applicators with a redesigned shape that are more comfortable and more effective. In contrast to the previous U-shaped applicators, the new C-shaped contours make better contact with the tissue, can cool a wider area, and don’t cause uncomfortable pinching from the tissue folding over itself during the procedure. With two applicators on the machine, CoolSculpting Elite also allows two areas to be treated at the same time, significantly reducing treatment duration by reducing the total number of sessions.
In contrast to invasive, surgical body-fat reduction procedures such as liposuction, CoolSculpting Elite provides a convenient procedure with significantly less downtime. No incisions or anesthesia are required, and there is no risk of infection. Also, liposuction complications include contour irregularities and a disproportionate or unnatural appearance.

CoolSculpting Elite treatment has practically no side effects, and there’s no downtime required after a session. Most people return to their normal daily activities immediately. Some people experience temporary pain or numbness on the application site.(2) Results can be noticed a few weeks after treatment. However, the full effectiveness of CoolSculpting Elite treatment requires a few months to be visible since it takes time for the body to remove all the dead fat cells. Results will vary from one individual to another, however, most patients experience a noticable reduction in fat a few months after treatment. The results of CoolSculpting Elite are permanent. The fat cells destroyed from the CoolSculpting Elite treatment will be permanently removed, however, the remaining fat cells can still increase in size – so it is important to remain healthy and active to prevent future weight gain.
A multicenter study on over 518 patients undergoing cryolipolysis treatment reported the following results:
