The new CoolSculpting™ Elite — noninvasive fat reduction in New York City

As a CoolSculpting™ Certified Provider with many years of experience, Dr Shelton now offers CoolSculpting™ Elite — the most advanced CoolSculpting™ technology on the market. This new technology literally freezes and kills fat cells. CoolSculpting™ Elite is the next generation of fat reduction technology which offers dual applicators to treat bilateral areas at the same time!

What happens during the Coolsculpting™ Elite treatment?

The new procedure uses cryolipolysis, which is a technical term for fat freezing. When fat cells are frozen, they die and are naturally eliminated via the body’s natural processes. When the applicator is placed on the treatment area, the patient will feel a slight sucking, pulling or tugging sensation which will persist throughout the procedure. These sensations will subside as the area becomes numb.

How long does a treatment take?

The duration of the procedure depends on the area which is treated. Each CoolSculpting area is different and, if it is a small area, it may be done in as little as 35 minutes. Patients will have to spend more time if there are multiple areas to be treated. However, since the new technology contains dual applicators, it may reduce the amount of time spent on treating the affected areas.

How soon can you see the results?

As the treatment is scientifically proven to reduce fat up to 20–25%, patients will notice changes as soon as one to three months have passed, and the final results will become more prominent upon the completion of six months. However, since it is NOT a weight loss treatment, patients can gain weight after the treatment if they do not stick to a healthy diet.

Who is eligible for CoolSculpting™ Elite?

An ideal treatment for both men and women who wish to get rid of stubborn fat in various parts of their body (which may be unaffected by diet and exercise alone), CoolSculpting™ Elite can treat several areas:

• Visible bulges under the chin and jawline
• Inner and outer thighs (saddle bags)
• Abdomen and flanks (love handles)
• Bra fat
• Back fat
• Underneath the buttocks and
• Upper arms

Are there any side effects from CoolSculpting™ Elite?

Patients may have side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, bruising, stinging, cramping, aching, tenderness, nerve discomfort, numbness, swelling and paradoxical fat hyperplasia in the treated area. Dr. Shelton discusses all of these with his patients during their consultation.
