Frequently asked questions about non-surgical fat freezing with Coolsculpting Elite

Non Surgical Fat Freezing in Wayzata MN Area

At LAK MedSpa of Wayzata, Minnesota, Drs. Lisa Ohman Erhard and Mark Erhard believe in offering a number of solutions for patients who are looking for a solution to unwanted fat on the body. Surgeries such as tummy tucks and liposuction can manually remove fat but can be expensive and invasive. But CoolSculpting Elite can help! Let’s take a look at CoolSculpting Elite cryolipolysis treatment and some frequently asked questions about this non-surgical fat-freezing treatment.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is described best as a non-invasive body contouring service that uses controlled cooling technology to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. It is used to target areas like the stomach, abdomen, thighs, arms, chin, and love handles, depending on the areas patients want to address. This non-surgical fat-freezing treatment has gained in popularity over the years, allowing patients to address specific areas of fat when diet and exercise fail to provide the targeted results individuals want.

How does CoolSculpting Elite work?

The procedure involves using applicators that suction the targeted area of fat and expose it to cold temperatures. This is a process known as cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis causes the present fat cells to crystallize and eventually die. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the dead cells through its lymphatic system, allowing for gradual results over several months.

Is CoolSculpting Elite safe?

Yes, CoolSculpting Elite has been cleared by the FDA and has a high safety profile. It is a non-invasive procedure, meaning no surgery or needles are involved. Some minor side effects, such as temporary redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated area, may occur, but these typically subside within a few days.

What can I expect from the results of CoolSculpting Elite?

Results can vary from person to person, but most patients will start seeing a noticeable fat reduction within two to three months after their treatment. The body will continue to flush out the treated fat cells for up to six months after the treatment, resulting in gradual and natural-looking changes. We want our patients to note that CoolSculpting Elite is not a weight loss solution but is better described as a body contouring treatment that can reduce stubborn areas of fat.

How many treatments of CoolSculpting Elite will I require to get the results I want?

The number of treatments needed varies depending on individual goals and the areas targeted with CoolSculpting Elite. During a consultation visit, one of our trained professionals will assess your body and determine how many treatments are required to achieve your desired results.
