About CoolSculpting Elite
Abdominal CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive method of body contouring that targets unwanted fat deposits in the belly area. It employs controlled cooling technology to freeze fat cells, which leads to their natural elimination from the body over time. When excessive fat accumulates in the abdominal region, it can create feelings of self-consciousness or dissatisfaction with one’s appearance.
This procedure is particularly appealing to individuals who struggle with stubborn belly fat that persists despite their best efforts with diet and exercise. At Skin Perfect, many patients seek this treatment due to its efficiency, minimal downtime, and permanent results.
CoolSculpting Elite offers several applicators designed to treat different areas of the body. Some of the most common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen: Targeting belly fat to create a flatter abdomen.
- Flanks: Known colloquially as “love handles,” this area can be difficult to tone.
- Arms: The upper arms can be targeted for a smoother, more toned appearance.
- Thighs: Both inner and outer thighs can be treated for a sleeker look.
- Back: CoolSculpting Elite can help reduce unwanted back fat bulges.
- Under the Chin: Addressing submental fat improves the jawline’s definition.
What is Cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is an advanced technique that specifically targets fat cells through a process known as controlled cooling, successfully leading to localized fat reduction. The treatment was developed after researchers observed that fat cells are more susceptible to cold temperatures compared to surrounding tissues. (1) This difference allows us to effectively diminish fat deposits without causing harm or discomfort to the skin and other structures in the area.
Cryolipolysis is based on the premise that fat cells undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death, when exposed to low temperatures. Once these fat cells die off, they are naturally processed and eliminated by the body’s metabolic system over time. (2) This makes cryolipolysis an appealing choice for individuals seeking targeted body sculpting without surgical intervention.
Benefits
- Long-lasting Results: Once fat cells freeze and are eliminated, they do not regenerate in the treated area, offering permanent results.
- Non-Invasive Procedure: No cuts or anesthesia are required, making CoolSculpting Elite comfortable and safe.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, allowing for a seamless transition.
- Targeted Fat Reduction: Focuses on specific areas of the body, ensuring precise fat loss where needed most.
- Little to No Side Effects: Common side effects, such as temporary redness or swelling, generally resolve quickly.
- Improvement in Self-Confidence: Achieving a more contoured figure can greatly uplift one’s self-esteem.
- Customizable Treatment Plans: Each session can be tailored to meet individual needs and goals, ensuring personalized care.

Preparation
Once you decide to proceed with abdominal CoolSculpting Elite, it is vital to prepare adequately:
- Hydrate: Ensure you are drinking enough water before the appointment.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Dress in attire that allows easy access to the treatment areas.
- Discuss Medications: Inform us about any medications or supplements you are taking.
- Avoid Heat: Refrain from exposure to extreme heat, such as saunas or hot tubs, prior to treatment.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth CoolSculpting Elite session.
Procedure
A gel pad is applied to the abdomen to protect your skin. The CoolSculpting Elite applicator is applied directly to the area and suction is created. During this time, the fat cells are exposed to controlled cooling temperatures.
You may feel intense cold initially, followed by numbness as the area becomes less sensitive. The treatment usually lasts around 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the selected area. No incisions or anesthetics are necessary, making the procedure incredibly straightforward.
Recovery
Recovery time after CoolSculpting Elite is typically minimal. Many patients resume regular daily activities immediately. You may notice some temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treatment area, but these effects gradually diminish. You can manage discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
Post-treatment, some patients find gentle massage of the treated area enhances results.
Results
Results from abdominal CoolSculpting Elite typically become noticeable within a few weeks, with optimal outcomes appearing after about two to three months. Before and after photos from previous patients illustrate significant improvements in targeted areas, showcasing the effectiveness of the procedure.
Most patients report feeling more satisfied with their body contours, boosting overall confidence and encouraging them to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
- CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that may take from one to several hours, depending on your treatment plan.
- No topical anesthesia or pain medication is required.
- Please be prepared to take before, during, and after photos for clinical documentation. Your photos will NOT be released without your signed consent and explicit permission, if you choose to do so.
- As the procedure is initiated, vacuum pressure draws tissue into an applicator cup between cooling panels. The vacuum pressure may cause sensations of pulling, tugging, throbbing, and pinching in the area being treated.
- You may also experience intense stinging, tingling, aching or cramping. These sensations generally subside as the area becomes numb.
What to Expect Immediately After Your Treatment
- Immediately after the procedure, your treated area may look or feel stiff and transient blanching (temporary whitening of the skin or redness) may occur.
- You may feel a sense of nausea or dizziness as your body naturally warms and sensation returns to your treatment area. These are normal reactions that typically resolve within minutes.
- The treated area may be red for up to a few hours after the applicator is removed. This is an expected but temporary effect after CoolSculpting.
- Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur in the treated area. This typically resolves within a week or two.
- Following abdominal coolsculpting – do not do abdominal workouts for 1-4 days. It can take up to a week to recover depending on the soreness of the abdomen.

If you feel well the day following your coolsculpting procedure, feel free to continue with your daily exercise (avoiding abdominal workouts).
- Nausea, tingling, stinging and cramping in the treatment area are often reported on treatment day.

- Following the procedure, a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer will take place. You may start to see changes as early as three weeks After CoolSculpting and you will experience the most dramatic results after three months.
- To ensure the most optimal results, it is mandatory that you wear a specialized compression garment for a minimum of four weeks following your procedure. This minimizes irregularities and maximizes skin contraction. Please visit www.designveronique.com to order your garment in advance if you are not ordering in the office.
- Skin Perfect can order your compression garment for a fee of $150. You also have the option of visiting www.designveronique.com to order the garment yourself.

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures
Emsculpt
Emsculpt is an FDA-cleared device that provides patients with a dual-action approach to body contouring and muscle toning. First introduced to the market, Emsculpt quickly gained popularity due to its ability to strengthen and tone muscles while also reducing fat in targeted areas. This remarkable treatment delivers an effect comparable to 20,000 crunches or squats in just a single session, providing dramatic results without the need for invasive methods or the discomfort often associated with traditional workout regimens.
Vanquish
Vanquish leverages advanced radiofrequency technology to target and warm deeper tissues, selectively destroying unwanted fat cells. As these cells undergo a natural process of apoptosis, your body metabolizes them over time, resulting in a slimmer appearance in the treated area.
What sets Vanquish apart is its comfort. The equipment doesn’t touch your skin, allowing you to relax completely—many clients even take a nap during the procedure. With Vanquish, you can achieve your body goals comfortably and non-invasively.
