Have you ever wished you could target stubborn fat without surgery or downtime? You're not alone—and that's exactly why CoolSculpting Elite has become one of the most popular non-invasive fat reduction treatments in the world.
Whether you're curious about how it works or wondering if it’s right for you, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about CoolSculpting Elite: what it is, how it works, and what to expect from your results.
CoolSculpting® Elite is an advanced, FDA-cleared, non-surgical body contouring treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn fat through a process called cryolipolysis (fat freezing). It is the next generation of the original CoolSculpting technology, offering improved features and results.
CoolSculpting Elite uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells beneath the skin. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance—without surgery, needles, or recovery time.
It’s ideal for people close to their target weight who want to address areas of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise.
The concept behind CoolSculpting Elite is simple: fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissues. When exposed to specific temperatures, fat cells crystallize and die. Once treated, these fat cells are gradually metabolized and eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system.
The result? A long-term Permanent reduction in the fat layer in the treated area.
