CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment designed to target stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks. It helps you achieve a more sculpted, contoured body without surgery or downtime.
Freeze Away and Eliminate
Excess Fat Deposits
CoolSculpting in San Antonio is an advanced, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn fat. Utilizing controlled cooling technology, it safely freezes and destroys fat cells in specific areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks. The body processes and removes these dead cells over time, resulting in a more sculpted and contoured appearance. Unlike traditional liposuction, CoolSculpting Elite requires no surgery, incisions, or downtime. It’s an ideal solution for those seeking a slimmer, more defined physique without surgery.
What Areas Does CoolSculpting® Elite Treat?
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Upper arms
- Bra fat
- Back fat
- Underneath the buttocks (banana roll)
- Submental area (double chin)
- Jawline
How Does CoolSculpting® Elite Work?
CoolSculpting Elite works through a process called cryolipolysis, which targets and freezes fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. During treatment, applicators deliver controlled cooling to the fat layer beneath the skin. Fat cells are more susceptible to cold temperatures, so they crystallize and undergo apoptosis (cell death). The body’s natural processes gradually metabolize and eliminate these dead fat cells over the following weeks and months. This results in a noticeable reduction of fat in treated areas.

CoolSculpting® Elite vs. CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting Elite is the latest advancement in non-invasive fat reduction, offering several improvements over the original CoolSculpting technology. It features dual applicators, which allows for the simultaneous treatment of two areas and reduces overall treatment time. The Elite model also has enhanced applicator shapes for better tissue contact, leading to more efficient fat reduction. Additionally, CoolSculpting Elite provides more consistent cooling. While both treatments effectively eliminate stubborn fat, CoolSculpting Elite offers a more comfortable and quicker experience, making it the superior choice for body contouring.
What to Expect During Your CoolSculpting Elite Session in San Antonio
During CoolSculpting in San Antonio, you’ll discuss your goals with a trained specialist who will identify the treatment areas. You’ll then relax as the applicator is placed on your targeted area, delivering controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells. You may feel intense cold initially, followed by numbness. The treatment typically lasts 35-60 minutes, during which you can read, work, or rest. After the applicator is removed, the specialist will massage the area to enhance fat reduction. You can resume your daily activities without any downtime.
What Is Recovery & Aftercare Like for CoolSculpting® Elite?
After your CoolSculpting Elite session, you can resume your normal activities immediately, as there is no downtime. You may experience temporary side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which typically subside within a few days. To enhance recovery, gently massage the area and stay hydrated. It’s also important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to support optimal results. Follow-up appointments with your specialist will help monitor your progress and address any concerns.
When Will I See Results from CoolSculpting® Elite?
Results from CoolSculpting in San Antonio typically begin to appear within three weeks, with full results visible after two to three months as your body gradually eliminates the frozen fat cells. Clinical studies have demonstrated that CoolSculpting Elite can reduce fat in the treated area by up to 20-25% after a single session. Most people achieve their desired outcome with one to two sessions per treatment area, but your specialist may recommend additional sessions for optimal results. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they are permanently eliminated.
CoolSculpting Elite FAQs
How many treatments of CoolSculpting Elite do I need?
The number of CoolSculpting Elite treatments you’ll need depends on your goals, the areas being treated, and how your body responds. Many patients see noticeable improvements after one session per area, with clinical studies showing up to a 20-25% reduction of fat in treated areas. However, some individuals benefit from a second session to further refine their results.
During your consultation in San Antonio, your provider will evaluate your anatomy and aesthetic goals and create a customized treatment plan for natural-looking contouring.
How long do the effects of CoolSculpting Elite really last?
CoolSculpting Elite permanently eliminates targeted fat cells, meaning those cells do not return once removed. As long as you maintain a stable weight, your results can be long-lasting. That said, the remaining fat cells in untreated areas can still expand with weight gain.
CoolSculpting Elite is not a weight-loss solution; rather, it is a body-contouring treatment that can enhance your shape and proportions if you’re already close to your ideal weight.
How much does CoolSculpting Elite cost per session?
The cost of CoolSculpting Elite varies based on several factors, including the size and number of treatment areas and the number of recommended sessions. Pricing is typically determined per applicator or treatment area rather than a flat fee. Because everyone and their goals are different, the most accurate way to determine cost is through a personalized consultation.
Who is a candidate for CoolSculpting Elite?
Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting Elite are adults who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. It works best for those seeking subtle to moderate fat reduction rather than dramatic weight loss.
The ideal candidates for CoolSculpting Elite should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what non-invasive body contouring can achieve. A consultation helps determine whether CoolSculpting Elite is the right option for you.
What are the risks of CoolSculpting Elite?
CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared and safe when performed by trained professionals. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, or numbness in the treated area. These effects typically resolve on their own within days or weeks.
Rare complications can occur and will be discussed during your consultation so you can make an informed decision. Choosing an experienced, medically supervised practice helps ensure safety and optimal care throughout your treatment.
