Getting that perfect figure can sometimes be quite challenging. You may be near your ideal weight, but your stubborn belly fat might refuse to go away no matter how hard you try. Sometimes, it may be because of an incorrect diet or exercise routine. Other times, it may be a metabolism problem. For instance, hormonal imbalances can lead to accumulations of subcutaneous fat, making it difficult for you to burn it off. 

Cosmetic medicine brought us an alternative: when you can’t burn the fat, you can freeze it. Enter CoolSculpting® Elite, the successor of CoolSculpting® that can freeze stubborn body fat and eliminate it. In this blog, you will find out more about CoolSculpting® Elite, how it is used, and what benefits you may enjoy from the procedure.

What Does CoolSculpting® Elite Do?

CoolSculpting® Elite is a non-invasive way to give your body a better contour, without relying on surgery, needles, or anesthesia. As a result, there is little to no potential for downtime. The procedure relies on cryolipolysis technology, which freezes the fat cells in your body. 

As the applicator is passed over the target area, it will break down the fatty tissue using cold technology. Your body will then process that excess fat, gradually flushing it out through your lymphatic system. The procedure only targets the fat cells, which means that your skin won’t be damaged.

Candidates for CoolSculpting® Elite

CoolSculpting® Elite is great for women and men who are trying to get rid of stubborn body fat. So, you may be a good CoolSculpting® Elite candidate if you struggle with excess fat in the following areas:

• Flaps (love handles)
• Inner and outer thighs
• Arms
• Chin
• Back
• Upper and lower abdomen
• Beneath your buttocks

One thing to keep in mind is that CoolSculpting® Elite is not a weight loss procedure. It is merely a way for you to touch up on areas that are not responding to diets and exercise. As it may remove up to 25 percent of the fat in the treated area, this procedure is mostly recommended for mild improvements. Dr. Moore recommends you get close to your ideal weight before you consider using this treatment.

Benefits of CoolSculpting® Elite

Here are some of the benefits you may enjoy with CoolSculpting® Elite:

• Two Applicators

While CoolSculpting® and other similar procedures use only one applicator that targets a single area, CoolSculpting® Elite uses two applicators. This allows you to target two areas simultaneously, reducing the time you have to spend in the office. Also, you can get better effects and faster results by using the two applicators.

• Continuous Results

CoolSculpting® Elite offers gradual results, taking from weeks to months for you to see the final effects. This can make your transformation look more natural as your body adjusts to the fat removal process.

• Controlled Fat Removal

CoolSculpting® Elite delivers cold technology with the applicator in the target area, reducing up to 25 percent of the fat. This is more than enough for most people to contour their bodies and obtain an attractive shape.

• Increased Comfort

CoolSculpting® Elite brings more comfort thanks to its C-shaped applicator. This helps cup your target area much easier. The easy maneuvering makes the process faster and more comfortable.

CoolSculpting is a way to target and reduce fat cells in your body. This is a great way to target fatty parts of your body that diet or exercise just do not seem to eliminate. Unlike liposuction, this is an invasive treatment. According to Consumer Reports, there have been more than 8 million CoolSculpting treatments completed around the world. Unfortunately, there are many myths surrounding this cosmetic procedure. Here are three common myths people have and their corresponding truths!

1. CoolSculpting Is Only For the Stomach Region

One of the myths surrounding this cosmetic treatment is that it is only used on the stomach region. While the stomach is one of the areas that is frequently targeted by individuals undergoing this treatment, it is not the only body part that can be treated. CoolSculpting can be performed on the back, butt, thighs, knees, arms, chest, and chin.

2. The Results Are Permanent

Another common misconception surrounding this cosmetic treatment is that the results are permanent. CoolSculpting breaks up your fat cells in a specific part of your body. However, fat cells can return if you do not eat a healthy diet and continue to exercise. As such, your fat can return if you overeat or do not maintain a healthy weight. To maximize your results and to help them to last, you should always continue to eat a healthy diet and exercise.

3. CoolSculpting Tightens Skin

The final myth surrounding this cosmetic procedure is that this procedure tightens your skin. This is not true at all. CoolSculpting breaks down fat cells. It can reduce about 20 to 25 percent of your weight in a specific area, which usually equates to only a pound or two. Skin is elastic, and it usually bounces back after small amounts of fat are removed, giving the appearance of tighter skin. But this is only an optical illusion. If you already have sagging skin, this cosmetic procedure will not help to tighten your skin.

Most people have at least one part of their body that they are not happy with. However, despite dieting and exercising, it seems that the fat in this area simply will not budge. This is where CoolSculpting can be beneficial. This type of cosmetic procedure targets your problem areas and helps to break up fat cells, finally helping you to tone or tighten your problem area.
