CoolSculpting® Elitein Portland

Simply put, CoolSculpting Elite represents a significant advancement in fat-reduction technology, with improved features designed for better efficiency and outcomes. Its innovative applicators are crafted to cover larger areas, allowing for more precise and effective treatment. Additionally, the Elite system can target two areas at once, streamlining the process and delivering enhanced results in less time.

Yes, the fat cells treated with CoolSculpting Elite are permanently eliminated. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they are naturally flushed from the body and do not return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to preserving your results, as new fat cells can still develop with weight gain.

CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-approved treatment backed by thorough research to ensure its safety and effectiveness. The process focuses specifically on fat cells, leaving nearby tissues unharmed for a secure and comfortable procedure. Rest assured, most patients find it easy to tolerate, with only mild, short-term side effects like redness or slight numbness in the treated areas.

The number of sessions needed depends on your specific goals and the areas you want to target. While some patients notice visible changes after a single treatment, others may benefit from additional sessions to achieve their desired outcome. We will craft a customized plan tailored to your unique body contouring aspirations during your consultation

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves general anesthesia and physically removing fat through tubes. While it can deliver immediate results, it also comes with pain, downtime, and the potential for scarring, not to mention a recovery period of a week or two. CoolSculpting, on the other hand, is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has minimal to no downtime. You could literally get it done on your lunch break and go right back to your day. No scalpels, no stitches. Just fat reduction, made easy. If your goal is just to reduce small, localized fat pockets for mild to moderate reduction, CoolSculpting might get you there with a few sessions. If you want to treat larger areas for more significant contour change, we’ll probably suggest you head on over to our surgery center for liposuction.

You can eat clean, hit the gym, and still deal with those stubborn fat pockets that just don’t budge. That’s because diet and exercise shrink fat cells, but they don’t spot reduce them or get rid of them completely. CoolSculpting goes a step further. It actually eliminates fat cells by freezing them away. It targets the trouble spots that don’t respond to workouts and healthy eating, giving you a more sculpted look where it matters most.

You may start to notice changes as early as 3 weeks after your treatment, with the most dramatic results appearing around 2 months in. Even better, your body keeps flushing out those frozen fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after your session.

At the start of your session, you’ll feel an intense cold, which usually fades after a few minutes as the area goes numb. Some applicators use suction, so you might feel a bit of pulling or tugging.

You might feel pulling, pinching, or tingling during the treatment, but it fades as the area numbs. Afterward, common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the treated area. These are temporary and usually go away on their own within a few days to weeks. In rare cases, more unusual side effects can happen, so it’s always a good idea to talk to your provider and make sure CoolSculpting is the right choice for you.
