What’s Unique About CoolSculpting Elite?

April 15, 2022 by A Younger You

When CoolSculpting first gained FDA approval in 2010, it quickly became a popular way to reduce stubborn fat that seems immune to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that allows patients to finally see results that even diet and exercise can’t achieve.

Patients love CoolSculpting so much that when CoolSculpting Elite was released, the team at A Younger You Medical Spa knew we needed the latest advancements in body sculpting. As a result, patients in Brookfield and Burlington now have the opportunity to sculpt the body they want using the latest technology available.

People’s bodies come in different shapes and types, and some bodies hold on to resistant fat pockets that keep you from achieving the figure you want even when you’re exercising and eating healthy foods. CoolSculpting Elite allows you to see the results you’ve worked for.

What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a fat-freezing treatment in which a skilled technician places an applicator onto a stubborn pocket of fat. The applicator suctions the skin into its cooling plates, then exposes the fat to precise, calibrated cooling.

The cold temperature of the CoolSculpting process freezes underlying fat without harming the skin in the surrounding tissues because fat freezes at higher temperatures than skin.

After the fat cells freeze, the cell membrane holding the fat ruptures, and it dies. The body naturally processes the dead fat cells, removing them from the body via the lymphatic system. The fat cells never return, making it a permanent, non-surgical treatment for reducing pockets of fat.

How Is CoolSculpting Elite Different?

CoolSculpting Elite builds on the fat-freezing treatment developed with the original procedure. While the original CoolSculpting machine only allowed for one applicator per treatment, CoolSculpting Elite uses a dual applicator system, enabling technicians to double the fat reduction in less time.

CoolSculpting Elite’s new applicators are also entirely re-engineered using a new, innovative design. The new design complements the body’s natural curve, better fitting the treatment area. As a result, the unique shape is more effective and comfortable.

Lastly, the CoolSculpting Elite’s cooling panels are 18% larger than the originals, increasing the amount of frozen fat in a single treatment.

What Areas Can I Treat with CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite’s groundbreaking technology makes it the only non-surgical treatment for targeting nine areas of the body, including:

The submental area under the chin
The submandibular area under the jawline
Inner, outer, and front thighs
The abdomen
Flanks or love handles at the waist
Bra fat on the torso, under the armpits
Back fat
Underneath the buttocks
Upper arms

While both CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite may require multiple treatments to achieve your desired results, with CoolSculpting Elite, the treatment is more effective, and appointments are shorter.

Will CoolSculpting Elite Help Me Lose Weight?

While losing weight and eliminating fat may sound similar, they’re not the same. CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment; it’s a fat-freezing treatment. Since muscle weighs so much more than fat, the fat you lose from CoolSculpting won’t make a big difference to the number on your scale.

CoolSculpting treatments improve your appearance and can remove up to 25% of the fat in a treatment area. Patients undergoing CoolSculpting procedures aren’t necessarily looking to drop weight but hoping to improve their figure at a current healthy weight.

How Does a CoolSculpting Elite Procedure Work?

Every CoolSculpting Elite treatment begins with a consultation with one of our expert technicians. We’ll discuss your treatment areas and your ultimate goals during this consultation and estimate the number of sessions you’ll need to see the best results.

When it’s time for your treatment, a member of our expert team will attach the applicator to your treatment area, where it will sit for the duration of your session. Although the CoolSculpting device will feel cold to your skin for the first few moments after activation, this sensation should go away after a few minutes.

While your treatment is underway, you can read, watch TV, or even sleep while the activators destroy your fat cells. The entire treatment takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the targeted area. After the treatment, we will massage the area to break up the crystallized fat cells.

The procedures don’t require any downtime, so you can resume your daily activities immediately.

How Many CoolSculpting Elite Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions you’ll need varies based on your treatment area. Most patients receive between one and three sessions. However, for CoolSculpting to work, there must be a “pinchable” amount of fat in the area.

We typically ask patients to wait at least a month between treatments. The body needs some time to flush the fat cells, and you don’t want to refreeze the same dead fat cells. Waiting for one to three months between treatments provides the best results.

When Will I See Results?

Most patients begin to see changes in the contour of their treatment area as soon as three weeks after their initial treatment. However, two months after your treatment, the results will be much more noticeable.

Since the destroyed fat cells need to go through the body’s natural eliminating process, the full results take time. Smaller treatment areas, such as the chin or jawline, tend to see results sooner.

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is ideal for anyone who wants to get rid of pockets of excess fat that stubbornly persist despite maintaining a relatively healthy weight. Candidates for CoolSculpting Elite should be near their ideal weight to see optimal results.

If your goal is to shed resistant fat without surgery or downtime, then CoolSculpting may be the ideal treatment for you.

Reasons to Try CoolSculpting in Milwaukee

March 19, 2018 by A Younger You

Have you heard of the powerful body sculpting treatment known as CoolSculpting? If so, you may be wondering how it works and how it could help you. When you visit with one of our skilled and experienced practitioners at A Younger You Medical Spa in Milwaukee, you will find out the specifics of how we can help you achieve your ideal body shape with one or two simple treatments. Until then, consider these great reasons why you should try CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting Is Effective
CoolSculpting is incredibly effective at getting rid of unwanted fat cells. It uses very cold temperatures to freeze fat cells without having to use any needles or anesthesia and without having to make incisions. In fact, the entire treatment is done on the surface of your skin. While CoolSculpting will not destroy all of your fat cells in a single area, it can destroy up to 20 to 30 percent of the fat cells in a single treatment. With two treatments, you may even be able to destroy up to 50 percent of an area’s fat cells. This makes CoolSculpting an effective way to tone and slim your body, revealing muscles long hidden beneath layers of fat.

CoolSculpting Offers Permanent Results
It is not only liposuction that can permanently remove fat cells. Once CoolSculpting freezes and kills fat cells, your body can never remake these cells again. Therefore, as long as you continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen, you will be able to maintain your beautiful results for the rest of your life.

CoolSculpting Is Quick and Easy
A single CoolSculpting treatment takes only one hour. Plus, because there is no downtime for recovery needed after the treatment, it is a great option to fit into your busy days. You will be awake during the entire treatment, and many of our patients use this time to take care of work on their mobile devices, to catch up on reading or to catch a few Zs. While you may have some redness on your skin following the treatment, this will not stop you from doing any of your favorite activities.

CoolSculpting Can Be Used on Your Most Problematic Areas
CoolSculpting is for more than just your belly. While this is one of the most complained-about areas that we treat in our office, we can also help you with thighs, hips or flanks that leave you feeling less than yourself. CoolSculpting can also be used on your buttocks, back, and upper arms.

We know that you want to experience an amazing body no matter how old you are, how many childbirths you have gone through or how your hormones are treating you. That is why we offer CoolSculpting at A Younger You Medical Spa in Milwaukee. With this treatment, you can permanently remove fat from your most problematic areas, revealing beautiful muscles and a gorgeous figure. If you believe that CoolSculpting could benefit you, we encourage you to call our office today for an appointment. Contact A Younger You in Milwaukee today to schedule an appointment!

Improve Your Body Contours Non-Surgically with CoolSculpting in Burlington

November 6, 2017 by A Younger You

Cleanses, detoxes, and diets aren’t the only way to melt away stubborn body fat in Burlington. CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary new procedure that destroys pockets of fat with freezing temperatures. Each treatment takes just 35 minutes to complete, and this technology can reduce fatty tissue by as much as 25 percent. If you are tired of gimmicky weight loss products, then it might be time to take a fresh look at CoolSculpting®.

Fat Freezing

We now know that fat cells react to cold temperatures in a very strange way. Decades ago, doctors started to notice that patients who regularly ate cold treats often developed dimples in their cheeks. After further studying this phenomenon, they realized that the cold treats were destroying some of the fat cells on the inside of their cheeks. They then started working on a machine that could bring fatty tissue down to very cold temperatures without damaging any other tissue. By 2012, the FDA had approved the exciting new fat removal technology known as CoolSculpting®.

The CoolSculpting® Device

The CoolSculpting® machine is nothing more than a small medical device with one or more applicators attached. Once these applicators are placed over the treatment site, they will seal tight with the skin. After the applicator is secure and the device is turned on, your tissue will then be brought down to a very cold temperature. Over the course of a few minutes, the applicators will begin the process of damaging the outer walls of the fat cells. During your appointment, we suggest that you bring something to keep yourself entertained such as a book or phone.

Where Does the Fat Go?

One of the biggest benefits of CoolSculpting® is that the fat will be gone permanently as long as you are dedicated to maintaining healthy lifestyle habits. On average, patients lose around 25 percent of their fat at the treatment site, but this procedure can’t replace a healthy diet and exercise. Before your procedure is carried out, you should try to get as close to your ideal weight as possible. In the weeks following your first few appointments, some of the fat cells will shrink while others will be destroyed entirely. Patients who follow strict diet and exercise programs after their appointments can maintain the results for years.

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting®?

During your consultation, you’ll need to notify our team at A Younger You of any medications or medical conditions that might impact the results or your recovery. That being said, this procedure is a great option as long as you are relatively healthy and have realistic expectations. If you would like to learn more about the science behind CoolSculpting®, then please call us at any of our offices in Burlington, Brookfield or Greenfield to schedule a preliminary consultation.

CoolSculpting® is one of the best options that is currently available for individuals who would like to reduce the fat they have on their body without the need for surgery. This is a treatment that is designed to get rid of fat that is located in certain areas on the body. It is not used to treat fat everywhere.

There are several reasons why this is a top choice for fat reduction. First, it is a non-surgical method for getting rid of fat. This means that you do not have to think about any of the risks that come with using surgery to get rid of fat. So, you have more peace of mind when coming in for a consultation and for treatment.

Your skin looks smooth after the treatment. You do not have to worry about hiding scars when showing off your body in a swimsuit.

CoolSculpting® allows you to get rid of fat without any of the downtime that is associated with surgical procedures. After a procedure like liposuction, you have to spend weeks at home healing.

You don’t have to sacrifice any of these things when you come in for CoolSculpting® procedures. Your life will carry on as usual, but the fat cells in your body will be destroyed and eventually you will have a much slimmer figure.
