What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate stubborn fat deposits. The process freezes fat cells, causing them to break down naturally without affecting surrounding tissues. This procedure is designed to contour and slim specific body areas, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional fat-reduction techniques.
What Is CoolSculpting Elite®?
CoolSculpting Elite® provides excellent results with a safer, quicker, and more comfortable procedure than regular CoolSculpting. Patients can shape and contour their bodies without undergoing surgery or liposuction. CoolSculpting Elite® is a non-invasive, FDA-approved fat-contouring method.

How Is CoolSculpting Elite® Different From Regular CoolSculpting?
The new CoolSculpting Elite® machine has two C-shaped applicators, allowing us to freeze more fat more quickly by treating two areas simultaneously. The C-shaped device squeezes the tissue less, making the procedure more relaxing and comfortable. The updated technology provides excellent cosmetic results, making the body look smoother and fitter.
| Feature | CoolSculpting Elite® | Regular CoolSculpting |
|---|---|---|
| Applicator Design | C-shaped, contours to the body | Traditional flat applicator |
| Treatment Area Coverage | 18% larger treatment area | Smaller treatment area |
| Suction Power | Increased suction and cooling | Standard suction and cooling |
| Treatment Time | Shorter (varies by area) | Longer treatment times |
| Applicator Fit | More precise, customizable fit | Less customizable |

Results and Recovery
Sculptra works gradually, so most patients begin to notice visible improvement within 4–6 weeks following their initial session. Full results typically appear after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, as new collagen continues to develop.
Thanks to its collagen-stimulating effects, Sculptra’s improvements can last up to two years or longer for many patients. Maintenance procedures may be recommended to prolong your refreshed look.
Downtime after Sculptra is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Common post-injection effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days, allowing patients to return to their normal routine. Our provider may recommend massaging the treated area for several days post-treatment to support even results.
Sculptra is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are temporary, including swelling, tenderness, redness, or small bumps at the injection sites. Rarely, lumps or nodules can develop if aftercare instructions are not followed. Any concerns should be discussed promptly with our provider.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting technology uses controlled cooling to target and freeze excess fat under the skin. The body naturally processes frozen fat cells and removes them weeks after the procedure. In this way, CoolSculpting improves the appearance of bulges and reduces fat. Here is how it works:
Preparation for the Procedure
Depending on the treated area, the patient may be asked to remove clothing and wear a treatment gown. The body is marked to ensure the device will be placed correctly. A gel pad is also applied to the treatment zone to protect the skin from cold temperatures and enhance the effectiveness of this procedure.
Freezing of Excess Fat Cells
Once the area is prepared, the CoolSculpting applicator is placed on the skin. The device uses suction to pull the targeted fat bulges inside and cool them to a temperature that freezes the fat cells. Depending on the treated zone, the process typically lasts 35–75 minutes. Patients may feel a cold sensation initially, followed by a numbing or tingling feeling as the area becomes numb.
Treatment Experience
Because the procedure is noninvasive, patients can relax, read, or even use a mobile device during the treatment session. Some mild discomfort may occur from the suction and cold, but it is generally well-tolerated. CoolSculpting does not require anesthesia or sedation, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the session.
Completion
After the procedure, the treated area may feel slightly numb, firm, or swollen, but these effects are temporary. No downtime is required, and patients can return to normal activities immediately. Some mild redness or bruising may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
What to Expect After a Coolsculpting Procedure?
CoolSculpting requires little or no downtime. After your procedure, you can usually go about your daily routine. You may have mild swelling or redness in the treated area, but it usually subsides in a few days. Depending on the individual, visible results can take up to six months, provided you maintain your body weight.
Once you’ve completed your procedures, the treated fat cells dissolve and flush out your body. Patients are encouraged to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and avoid excessive pressure or massaging of the treated area.
You can start seeing positive changes four weeks after your CoolSculpting procedure, with the most dramatic results occurring after one to three months. Your body will continue to process and eliminate fat cells, creating smooth and toned contours. Nonetheless, rest assured that CoolSculpting Elite at Thrive Med Spa & Wellness is safe and effective!

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Typically, most people need between 1 and 3 CoolSculpting sessions per treatment area to achieve the desired results. The exact number can vary based on individual factors, such as the area of fat targeted and how much unwanted tissue is present. Our specialist will provide a more precise estimate after assessing your goals and needs during the consultation.
Good Candidates for CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite®
CoolSculpting is designed for individuals close to their ideal body mass. Their only problem is stubborn fat areas that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment — it’s intended for cosmetic corrections and light contouring. Patients with a body mass index (BMI) less than 30 typically see the best results.
Localized Pockets of Fat Cells
Candidates with small, localized areas of excess fat — such as on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or under the chin — are eligible for CoolSculpting. The treatment targets specific pockets of fat rather than broad areas, making it effective for targeted contouring and sculpting.
No Severe Health Conditions
Our CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure is designed for people without significant underlying medical conditions. Individuals with specific health issues, like cryoglobulinemia or cold agglutinin disease, may not be eligible.
Realistic Expectations From Aesthetic Procedures
Candidates with a realistic outlook on the potential results are ideal for CoolSculpting Elite®. The treatment reduces fat in specific areas but is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle or a comprehensive weight-loss solution. Individuals who understand these limitations and have realistic goals are well-suited for the procedure.
Benefits of CoolSculpting

Safe and Effective Removal of Stubborn Fat

Non-Surgical
No incisions or surgery are required for this fat-reduction procedure! CoolSculpting technology is entirely safe and preserves the surrounding tissues.
Easy and Almost Painless
We use a protective gel pad over the treatment area to make the procedure more comfortable. Most patients do not feel pain except for a mild pinching sensation, which does not cause significant discomfort.
Little to No Downtime
The non-surgical nature of CoolSculpting means there is little to no downtime and recovery! Most people can resume their regular daily routine right after the treatment.
Permanent Results With a Healthy Diet and Exercise
CoolSculpting offers permanent results by targeting and freezing fat cells, which are naturally eliminated from the body over time. Once the fat cells are removed, they do not return, providing long-lasting fat reduction in the treated areas. Following a healthy diet and exercise routine is essential to maintain these results, ensuring that any remaining fat cells do not expand.
