Advanced Non-Surgical Fat Loss and Body Contouring with CoolSculpting Elite

CoolSculpting Elite is one of the most exciting advances in aesthetics and is also one of our top procedures at Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge. Rather than surgically removing fat, CoolSculpting Elite freezes it away without incisions, stitches, or a recovery time. CoolSculpting Elite is non-surgical, non-invasive, and produces long-lasting results. The targeted fat cells are naturally shed by the body, never to return.

What is CoolSculpting?

Imagine losing a fatty abdomen, love handles, or even a double chin without undergoing surgery. This is what CoolSculpting offers. It’s a groundbreaking, non-surgical fat loss and body contouring procedure that helps remove persistent, unwanted fat — slimming the physique without invasive surgery. Developed by scientists at Harvard, the CoolSculpting Elite device in Baton Rouge freezes and kills the unwanted fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues.

Fat cells are averse to extremely cold temperatures, and the CoolSculpting Elite technology includes applicators that freeze the targeted fat cells via a process called cryolipolysis (fat freezing).

The procedure involves applying controlled cooling to the area where you want to reduce fat and freezing a percentage of the fat cells in the area — which kills them. And don’t worry, your body has about 30 billion fat cells. Losing some causes no harm.

The frozen fat cells are eventually metabolized and expelled by your body’s natural processes in 1-3 months. The procedure removes approximately 25% of the fat from targeted regions in a single session. While you do need patience to see the results, once the fat cells are gone, they’re gone forever.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

Both men and women are interested in CoolSculpting Elite — and for good reason, as it’s the most advanced CoolSculpting technology available.

Just like the original innovative CoolSculpting technology, CoolSculpting Elite uses the power of cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells, which are then naturally discarded from the body through the lymphatic system. However, CoolSculpting Elite takes the procedure a step further.

It’s an improvement on the original CoolSculpting technology, as it now features convenient C-shaped applicators that are perfect for fitting to the body’s organic curves, making it much easier provide treatment for hard-to-reach areas. Not only does this mean more coverage and consistency; it means more comfort. These new applicators can cover 18% more tissue than the previous ones.

The dual applicators allow your specialist to treat two areas in the same appointment, meaning you get more results in less time. In addition, CoolSculpting Elite can treat nine different areas of the body (see below).

Before & After

How much does CoolSculpting Elite cost?

At Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge, the cost of this advanced non-surgical fat loss and body contouring procedure varies based upon the quantity of fat and the number of areas you want to sculpt. Each treatment results in up to 25% reduction of fat, and you may want several treatments to achieve your goals.

The CoolSculpting Elite Process: What is a CoolSculpting Elite Treatment Like?

CoolSculpting Elite treatments are safe, easy, and convenient. They are advanced non-surgical fat loss and body contouring with no anesthesia, scalpels, needles, or scars involved. Before your procedure, we will ensure you have a full understanding of what CoolSculpting is and does. You will lie down comfortably on one of our treatment beds. A gel pad may be placed on your skin, and then our Baton Rouge CoolSculpting Elite dual applicators will be placed over two different fatty areas. The skin and fat will be pulled upwards into the applicator, and the controlled freezing is then emitted by the device. Patients often spend procedure time reading, resting, working on their laptops, watching TV, talking on the phone, or simply relaxing during their CoolSculpting sessions. Initially, there may be slight discomfort associated with the cold, but the numbing effect soon sets in. The sensations of undergoing treatment include a tugging or pulling, slight pinching, tingling, and possible aching or cramping. After treatment, the areas will be massaged by one of our specialists to help your body get to work shedding the unwanted fat cells.

Downtime After Treatment

There is no downtime needed after CoolSculpting Elite treatments, which is one of the reasons it’s such a popular procedure. You’ll be able to work out, go back to work, and continue regular activities. However, you may be a little swollen for a day or two, and you may also be numb for up to one month.

Very few side effects are associated with CoolSculpting Elite, but the areas that were treated may be reddened, slightly swollen, blanched, bruised, feel firm or tender, or itch. These side effects are typically minor, aren’t significant enough to prevent usual activities, and disappear within a day or two in most cases.

How Long Does It Take to See Results After CoolSculpting?

Another benefit of CoolSculpting Elite is the gradual onset of results, which resemble natural weight loss through exercise. Many patients prefer this to a sudden dramatic change that announces that “work has been done”.

Because your body needs some time to process the dead fat cells, you’ll begin noticing the results after about three weeks. The most dramatic results will be apparent after 1-3 months. In some cases, fat reduction may also continue for up to six months. Imagine watching your figure becoming slimmer every day!

You may require multiple CoolSculpting Elite sessions for optimal results. Your specialist at Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge will recommend the ideal treatment plan and frequency for your goals.

What Happens if I Gain Weight After CoolSculpting?

Although post-procedure weight gain may be a concern, most of our patients are so thrilled with the slimming results of CoolSculpting Elite that they are inspired to eat healthier and exercise more.

While you won’t regain the expelled fat cells, the existing fat cells may expand and reverse the results if you do gain weight.

It may surprise you to learn that you have a limited number of fat cells in your body, and these cells swell and shrink with weight gain and loss. However, with many of the fat cells in the target area permanently gone, you may gain less weight in the treated area because there will now be fewer fat cells.

For me, I love how conservative they are. They’re not going to recommend anything that you would not necessarily benefit from. The staff is friendly and so knowledgeable.

Am I a Candidate for CoolSculpting Elite?

If you’re in the Baton Rouge area and you’re interested in this non-surgical fat loss and body contouring procedure, you may be a great candidate. Most people are, as it does not involve anesthesia or incisions.

Although you will be losing inches, CoolSculpting Elite is not a weight loss procedure. It targets stubborn fat pockets that diet and exercise have been unable to resolve. For this reason, the best candidates for the procedure are those who are relatively fit and close to their weight goals, but are having trouble getting rid of fat in certain areas. CoolSculpting Elite is the ideal procedure for patients with pockets of unwanted fat deposits resistant to traditional weight loss methods, such as exercise and dieting.

Your CoolSculpting Elite specialist at Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge will carefully assess your body weight and discuss your goals to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. In general, those who make great candidates for this procedure are those who:

Are healthy
Are close to their ideal weight, with a BMI of 18.5 to 25
Are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the near future
Need the extra push to remove stubborn fat pockets
Are not planning to get liposuction
Understand that CoolSculpting Elite is a fat loss procedure, not a weight loss procedure
Understand that the procedure only removes a limited number of fat cells
Are willing to maintain the results with a balanced diet and regular exercise
