What Is CoolSculpting Elite®?
CoolSculpting Elite® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical body sculpting procedure that uses controlled cooling to selectively target and reduce unwanted fat cells beneath the skin. The science behind this approach is cryolipolysis treatment, a clinically validated fat freezing treatment that targets fat cells at a precise temperature without harming the surrounding skin or tissue.
Once exposed to the controlled cooling, targeted fat cells undergo a natural breakdown process called apoptosis. Over the following weeks, the body gradually flushes those cells through the lymphatic system, and patients may notice a measurable reduction in the thickness of the fat layer in the treated area.
Areas Treatable with CoolSculpting Elite®
This non-invasive fat reduction procedure is FDA-cleared to address localized fat in multiple areas of the body. Sessions can be customized to focus on one zone or several areas at once, depending on your individual goals.
Treatable areas include:
Abdomen
Love Handles / Flanks
Double Chin
Back Fat
Bra Fat
Upper Arms
Inner Thighs
Outer Thighs
Banana Roll (under buttocks)

Your CoolSculpting Elite® Experience
Understanding what to expect at each stage can help you feel prepared and confident from your very first visit.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough, no-obligation conversation at Reflections MedSpa & Wellness Center. Your provider will review your health history, discuss your goals, and determine whether this approach is the right fit for you.
Body Assessment
During your assessment, your provider will map the specific areas you want to address and design a personalized plan that accounts for your anatomy, the degree of stubborn fat removal needed, and the optimal number of sessions to support your desired outcome.
Applicator Placement
A protective gel pad is applied to the target area, followed by the applicator. The dual-applicator design allows two zones to be treated simultaneously, making your session more efficient.
Cooling Phase
Once in place, the applicator delivers controlled cooling directly to the fat layer beneath the skin. Patients may initially feel cold, mild pulling, or light pressure, which typically subsides as the area becomes numb within the first few minutes.
Post-Treatment Massage
Immediately following the cooling phase, your provider will gently massage the treated area. This step has been shown to support the breakdown of crystallized fat cells and may enhance overall outcomes.
Recovery
There is no required recovery period. Most patients leave the clinic and resume their regular routine the same day. Some mild redness, temporary numbness, or minor sensitivity in the treated area is normal and generally resolves within a few days to a few weeks.
When Will I See Results?
This cryolipolysis treatment works with the body’s own natural processes, so visible improvements develop gradually rather than all at once.
1 to 3 Weeks
Some patients may notice early changes in the treated area’s contour as the body begins to clear the affected fat cells.
1 to 3 Months
Most patients report their most noticeable improvement during this window. The area may appear visibly slimmer and more refined as the body continues eliminating the processed cells.
Up to 6 Months
Fat cell clearance and contour refinement may continue for up to six months following a session. Patients with multiple treated areas may see gradual improvement throughout this entire period.
Because the treated fat cells are no longer present in the body, outcomes may be long-lasting for patients who maintain a stable weight and consistent healthy habits.
