Non-surgical fat-freezing technology for body contouring has been around for years under different names. Perhaps you’ve heard of Coolsculpting (a trademark of Zeltiq Aesthetics, a subsidiary of Allergan). Their newest model is the Coolsculpting Elite.

The concept behind fat-freezing for body contouring is to bring the temperature of an area of troublesome fat to very cold temperatures. This causes the pockets of fat in those trouble areas to die without damaging the skin or surrounding tissues. In the following weeks, the body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells. You get slimmer in the treated areas and that fat is gone forever.

Which areas work best for fat-freezing? The answer is any area you desire. We get great results with fat-freezing of neck fat under the chin, on the upper arms, as well as for bra fat, back fat, belly fat, love handles, thighs, flanks, and banana rolls underneath the buttocks. Usually multiple treatments are recommended as the results are cumulative: each time you will see improved slimming with loss of 20-25% of the fat cells in the treated area.

Here is what you should expect during your fat-freezing treatment: Our medical team will great you and measure the area to be treated so we can set the fat freezing machine appropriately. Then, we will apply a soft get pad to the treatment areas and attach the treatment handles. These create a gentle suction to isolate the fat in the treatment areas.

Next, you’ll feel a gentle warming followed by rapid cooling. Some people experience tingling or a slight stinging sensation which decreases over time as the area becomes numb from the cold. That’s it! Then you just relax, play on your phone, listen to a podcast, or read for 30-60 minutes as the fat freezes away.

Coolsculpting Elite (TM) from Zeltiq is their newest device. It has the ability to treat two areas at once so you can more rapidly get slimmer. Our fat freezing machine has four applicators so you can treat multiple areas at the same time, or come with a friend and each of you can treat two areas simultaneously! Our results speak for themselves. Multiple treatment areas performed together saves time and time is the most precious thing of all. So, get slimmer fast with fat freezing!
