CoolSculpting Elite

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses applicators to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not return.

CoolSculpting can target the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, upper and lower back, bra fat, under the chin, and the banana roll beneath the buttocks.

Treatment plans vary based on your goals and the areas treated. Patients benefit from 2-4 sessions for optimal results.

CoolSculpting is best for individuals near their goal weight who struggle with localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss treatment.

Absolutely, it is safe. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and has been performed millions of times worldwide. At O’Neill Plastic Surgery, we have a team of experienced, trusted providers to perform treatments. Our CoolSculpting specialist, Kayla, is double Master Certified in CoolSculpting Elite and has been treating patients for 7+ years. We have two board-certified plastic surgeons who oversee all treatments and stand by the incredible technology CoolSculpting Elite provides for patients who don’t want the downtime of surgery.

Most patients experience a cold sensation and pressure at the beginning of treatment, which typically subsides within a few minutes. Many patients relax, read, watch TV, or scroll on their phone during treatment.

There is no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results may be seen as early as 3–4 weeks, with full results visible in 8–12 weeks.

CoolSculpting is ideal for patients seeking a non-surgical option with no downtime to reduce small, stubborn fat pockets, while liposuction is better for those wanting more dramatic results through surgical fat removal. Both are highly effective procedures that depend on the patient’s goals and lifestyle.

While CoolSculpting Elite is a procedure known for requiring no surgery, no needles, and no downtime, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity after treatment. Additionally, you might feel a sensation of fullness in your throat following treatment of the submental area (under the chin). These side effects are usually temporary and generally resolve within several days or weeks, though rare side effects may occur. As with any medical procedure, results may vary. Please ask our providers whether this procedure is right for you.

We offer complimentary consultations to determine whether patients are good candidates for treatment. During the consultation, we will provide a quote depending on the area(s) to be treated. We have recently restructured pricing to help remove the cost barrier and ensure our patients receive the best possible results. We want our patients to pay for results with treat-to-complete, transparent pricing rather than per-cycle pricing.

If you feel a non-invasive treatment isn’t the perfect fit for your needs, we also offer surgical options—such as liposuction and tummy tucks—that may better align with your expectations. We can help you explore all your options to determine what works best for your specific goals during your initial consultation.
