The best candidates are those with an active lifestyle who want to address areas of stubborn fat. The CoolSculpting® fat reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to reduce. Request a one-on-one consultation with a CoolSculpting® Specialist who will determine if the procedure is right for you.

The price for CoolSculpting® varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. At Elan we will help you create a customized treatment plan with your specialist that is tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget. Best results are achieved with a series of treatments, typically ranging from $1,000-3,000.

The length of your CoolSculpting® session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. You and your provider may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals. Many people read and check their phone during the session, and we also offer the ability to watch Netflix on a TV in the room. We’ll also be happy to treat you to a coffee or other beverage during your procedure.

Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates.

The CoolSculpting® procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen, thigh and chin.

Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental or submandibular area treatment. Rare side effects may also occur. Paradoxical hyperplasia (visibly enlarged tissue volume in the treated area) may develop two to five months after treatment and requires surgical intervention for correction. As with any medical procedure, ask your physician if CoolSculpting® is right for you.

Yes, you can. CoolSculpting® is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting® session is over.

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will continue to metabolize the treated fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

No supplements or pills are required and new diet and exercise habits aren’t necessary, but may enhance results even further. Many patients feel more motivated to exercise and improve their diet after treatment.

Fat cells that have been eliminated are gone. When the body gains weight the fat has to be stored someplace, which can happen evenly all over your body and around treated areas. With less fat cells in those areas, you’re less likely to see a significant weight increase in those areas.
