Benefits of a CoolSculpting® Elite Treatment
CoolSculpting® Ellite offers a non-invasive solution to eliminate stubborn fat using advanced fat-freezing technology. This procedure safely targets and reduces fat cells without affecting your skin or surrounding tissues—no need for anesthesia, incisions, or needles. Clinical studies reveal up to 25% fat reduction in treated areas, with results that last permanently. Unlike regular CoolSculpting®, CoolSculpting® Elite provides faster and more effective outcomes, requiring fewer sessions and a more comfortable experience. It focuses on areas like the abdomen, thighs, and love handles, allowing you to sculpt your body without surgery or downtime.
CoolSculpting® Elite vs. Other Treatments
CoolSculpting® stands out from other treatments like lipo laser and radiofrequency devices due to its unique technology. While others use heat or light to destroy fat cells, CoolSculpting® employs cryolipolysis, a patented cooling process. This method targets fat cells specifically, freezing and naturally eliminating them over time without affecting surrounding tissues.
The precision of CoolSculpting® results in more accurate and long-lasting outcomes. Plus, unlike liposuction, it doesn’t require anesthesia or downtime, allowing you to get back to your daily routine immediately. CoolSculpting® is FDA-approved, providing a safe, effective alternative for those seeking fat reduction without surgery or lengthy recovery.
How CoolSculpting Works
CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, a specialized technique that freezes fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues. The problem areas are isolated and a gel pad is placed around them for comfort. An applicator gently pulls and performs the cooling of the fat just above freezing. Different-sized applicators are used to treat different areas.
The cryolipolysis causes fat cells to crystallize without harming other cells. These cells are then broken down by the body’s own natural metabolic processes over a period of two to four months. With each treatment, typically you will see a noticeable reduction of fat from the treated area.
Once the crystallized fat cells are targeted and frozen, they begin a process called apoptosis, which is the body’s natural way of eliminating damaged cells. This gradual breakdown and removal process ensures that the treated area becomes more contoured over time, providing a smoother and more toned appearance. Many patients choose CoolSculpting® because it is a non-invasive procedure, meaning there’s no need for surgery or recovery downtime. This makes it an attractive option for those wanting to achieve their body goals without interrupting their daily schedules. Additionally, the results of CoolSculpting® can be long-lasting, as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before CoolSculpting® Elite Treatment
Before your CoolSculpting® treatment, you’ll have a consultation with one of our Certified Advanced Estheticians. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your goals and answer any questions you might have. To ensure that your aesthetic goals are met, we will evaluate the areas you want to treat and provide personalized recommendations.
What To Expect During CoolSculpting® Elite Treatment
In West Des Moines and Ankeny, our certified technicians will carefully apply the CoolSculpting® applicators to your chosen areas. During the procedure, you might experience a gentle tugging or pinching sensation, but it’s generally comfortable and manageable. The session duration varies based on the number of areas being treated.
What To Expect After CoolSculpting® Elite Treatment
Once your CoolSculpting® Elite session is over, you can immediately return to your daily activities—there’s no downtime required. Initially, you might not notice significant changes in your body’s shape or size. This is perfectly normal! The cryolipolysis process works by gradually eliminating crystallized fat cells, and it takes time.
After about a month, you’ll see a noticeable slimming in the treated area, with full results typically visible at around three months. Many patients appreciate this gradual transformation, which feels more natural unlike sudden changes associated with other procedures.
Temporary side effects like redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, cramping, itching, or tingling may occur, varying from person to person. Most patients experience a 20% to 25% fat reduction in the treated areas, with long-lasting results. To maintain these results, follow a healthy diet and exercise routine.
