Coolsculpting Elite

Will I experience any pain?

Coolsculpting® discomfort is mostly experienced during the treatment itself. After 5 minutes of cooling the treated area goes numb. It’s possible to feel some discomfort from the numbness caused by the freezing applicator. When the cycle is finished, the treated area will be massaged for 2 minutes, which often is the most uncomfortable part of the procedure, but most of our patients find this very bearable.

Areas you can treat include:

1. Abdomen: This is one of the most popular areas to be treated. CoolSculpting can help reduce stubborn fat pockets in the abdominal area.
2. Flanks or “Love Handles”: These are the fatty areas on the sides of the waist.
3. Inner and Outer Thighs: CoolSculpting can help contour the thighs by targeting the fatty deposits in both the inner and outer areas.
4. Submental Area (Double Chin): There’s a special applicator called the CoolMini that’s specifically designed to treat the smaller area under the chin.
5. Back Fat: This includes both the upper and lower back areas where fat can accumulate.
6. Bra Fat: This refers to the fat that might be seen near the armpit or around the bra line.
7. Upper Arms: The fat in the tricep area or the “bat wings” can be targeted with CoolSculpting.
8. Beneath the Buttocks (Banana Roll): This area right below the buttocks can also be treated.
9. Male Chest: Some men may develop excess fatty tissue in their chest area, a condition sometimes referred to as pseudogynecomastia, and this can be treated with CoolSculpting.
