CoolSculpting® ELITE Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting® ELITE is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that shapes the body by freezing unwanted fat cells. The process can permanently remove 20-25% of treated fat cells with little to no recovery time. It can be used to treat the following areas
Under the Chin and Jawline
CoolSculpting® ELITE targets the “double chin” and fat along the jawline for a more defined profile.
Thighs
Reduce stubborn fat on your inner and outer thighs for smoother, more sculpted legs.
Abdomen and Flanks
Trim your middle by tackling love handles and belly fat to get a flatter, more streamlined shape.
Bra Fat
Get a smoother look by reducing the small, stubborn pockets of fat that can appear around the bra line.
Back Fat
Create a sleeker look by targeting unwanted bulges on your upper or lower back.
Underneath the Buttocks (Banana Roll)
This treatment targets the fat roll under the buttocks to create a more defined and lifted look.
Upper Arms
Reduce unwanted fat in your upper arms so that you can feel more confident in short-sleeved shirts and tank tops.
Benefits of CoolSculpting® for Men
CoolSculpting® ELITE offers a simple way to reduce unwanted fat without surgery or downtime. Here are some of the main benefits for men:
Targets Stubborn Fat:
The treatment specifically targets and reduces fat cells in areas that are often resistant to diet and exercise, such as the stomach, love handles, chest, and chin.
Non-Surgical and Non-Invasive:
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical procedure, which means no cuts, no anesthesia, and no recovery time. You can get back to your daily routine right after your session.
Natural-Looking Results:
The fat reduction occurs gradually, allowing the results to appear over several weeks. This allows for a natural-looking change in your body's shape.
Boosts Confidence:
By helping you gain a more defined body, CoolSculpting® can increase your self-confidence and desire to keep up a healthy lifestyle.
Convenient and Efficient:
ELITE technology enables us to treat multiple areas simultaneously, allowing you to accomplish more in a single, time-saving session.
What to Expect During CoolSculpting® for Men
Your comfort is our primary goal. Here’s a simple look at what to expect during your CoolSculpting® ELITE appointment.
Step 1: Consultation
First, we talk about your goals to make sure CoolSculpting® is the right treatment for you. We’ll then create a custom plan to target the areas you want to treat.
Step 2: Treatment
During the procedure, a gel pad is placed on the skin, and an applicator uses suction to target fat. You’ll feel an intense cold that quickly goes away as the area becomes numb.
Step 3: Post-Treatment Massage
After the applicator is taken off, a technician will massage the treated area. This step is crucial for breaking up frozen fat cells and enhancing your results.
Step 4: Return to Daily Activities
There is no downtime after the session. You can go back to work, exercise, and all your normal activities right away.

frequently asked questions
How does CoolSculpting® work?
CoolSculpting® works by using controlled cooling to freeze and get rid of unwanted fat cells.
Does CoolSculpting® hurt?
Most people experience a cold sensation and some pressure, but this feeling typically subsides as the area becomes numb within the first few minutes of the treatment.
When will I see the results?
Initial changes are often visible around three weeks, but the most dramatic results will be evident in one to three months.
Is CoolSculpting® permanent?
Yes, once the treated fat cells are frozen and removed from the body, they are permanently gone. However, remaining fat cells can still increase in size if you gain weight, so it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
