CoolSculpting® Elite Dual Frequently Asked Questions
Better U Medical Spa in Englewood, New Jersey takes pride in offering the latest advancements in non-invasive fat loss and body contouring.
We are proud to announce that we are among the first and only providers in the Englewood, Jersey City, Hoboken and Hackensack area to offer brand-new, revolutionary CoolSculpting® Elite Dual fat loss.
In this article we answer our patients frequently asked questions about this new fat loss treatment that takes CoolSculpting technology to the next level.
What is CoolSculpting® Elite Dual?
CoolSculpting® Elite is the newest generation of CoolSculpting noninvasive body contouring technology.
It can permanently eliminate up to 20-25% of treated fat cells in 9 different areas of the body.
How Does CoolSculpting® Elite Dual Improve on Regular CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting® Elite Dual improves on regular CoolSculpting technology a number of ways. To begin with, CoolSculpting Elite utilizes 7 new proprietary applicators, that are each uniquely designed to conform to specific areas of the body.
The new applicators are also now constructed with a C-shaped cup (compared to the previous U-shaped cup). This allows for up to 18% more tissue contact, as well as greater suction. As a result, CoolSculpting® Elite treatments are faster and more effective than ever.
Additionally, CoolSculpting Elite freezes two times the stubborn fat in the same amount of time, because each machine is equipped with dual applicators.
This improved Elite version of CoolSculpting also reduces the possibility of any potential unwanted side-effects. And, CoolSculpting Elite is more comfortable than the “legacy’ (older) CoolSculpting machines.
What Areas of the Body can CoolSculpting Elite Treat?
CoolSculpting Elite is FDA approved to treat 9 body areas: submental fat (under the chin), arms, abdomen (belly fat), love handles / muffin tops (flanks), bra rolls (front and back fat), banana rolls (fat under the butt cheeks), inner thighs, and outer thighs.
CoolSculpting Elite is also FDA approved to treat excess fat (not breast tissue) in men.
How does CoolSculpting Elite Work?
CoolSculpting® Elite literally freezes and kills fat cells. Scientists spent years developing and refining this process, which has been named cryolipolysis.
The applicators deliver very low temperatures that chill the fat inside the body. When the fat cells are cooled to these low temperatures, they undergo “apoptosis” – which is the natural death of cells.
But, because fat cells sustain damage and die at higher temperatures than other bodily tissues, the cold temperatures kill the fat cells without causing damage to the skin or internal tissues. So, there is no downtime!
After the fat cells die, the body’s own natural elimination processes take over to remove the remains of the destroyed fat cells from the body. Up to 20-25% of stubborn fat can be reduced in the treatment areas.
Does CoolSculpting Elite Hurt?
No. CoolSculpting Elite is not painful. At the beginning of the treatment, most people will feel an intense cold sensation, often followed by tingling, but this feeling fades as the treatment area becomes numb within a few minutes. The rest of the treatment is described by our patients as comfortable and relaxing – and many people read, nap, check emails, or just enjoy a moment to relax.
When Will I See CoolSculpting® Elite Results?
Because the body has to naturally eliminate the fat cells over time, patients need to wait a few weeks before seeing a visible difference after their initial treatment. As the body continues to process and remove the destroyed fat cells, complete results may take 6 weeks to be fully visible.
However, the total time before full results can be seen will depend on which part of the body was treated, and how much fat the procedure removed.
How Many CoolSculpting® Elite Treatments Will I Need?
The number of CoolSculpting® Elite treatments needed will also depend upon parts of the body being treated, and how much fat needs to be removed.
Typically patients only require one or two treatments to address fat in small areas, such as under the chin. Larger, more stubborn fat deposits – like those on the outer thighs or abdomen – may require more treatments. Sessions are scheduled about a month to six weeks apart.
