What to expect during CoolSculpting Elite:

CoolSculpting Elite is a non-surgical procedure that may take from one to several hours, depending
on your treatment plan.
No general/topical anesthesia or pain medication is required.
As the procedure is initiated, vacuum pressure draws tissue into an applicator cooling cup. The
vacuum pressure may cause sensations of deep pulling, tugging and pinching in the area being
treated.
You also may experience intense stinging, tingling, aching or cramping. These sensations generally
subside as the area becomes numb.
You may feel a sense of nausea or dizziness during the post-treatment re-warming massage and as
your body naturally warms and sensation returns to your treatment area. These are normal reactions
that typically resolve within minutes.

Immediately after the procedure, your treated area may look or feel stiff and transient redness may
occur.
The treated area may be red for up to a few hours after the applicator is removed. This is an
expected but temporary effect after CoolSculpting Elite.
Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur in the treated area. This typically resolves within a week
or two.
Tingling, stinging and cramping in the treatment area are often reported on treatment day.
You may feel a temporary dulling of sensation (numbness) and/or tenderness in the treated area. This
is normal and typically resolves within a few hours but may last for several weeks after your
procedure.
There typically is little to no downtime with Coolsculpting Elite. Most patients are able to return to their
daily routine immediately after the procedure.

It is common for the treated area to feel bloated and look swollen in the first few days and weeks
after CoolSculpting Elite.
You may experience a temporary dulling of sensation that can last for several weeks.
At some point within the first two weeks following the procedure, you may experience one or more of
the following sensations: deep itching, tingling, pain in the treated area, strong cramping, muscle
spasms, aching and/or soreness. Please call our providers if these conditions occur.
Following the procedure, a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer will take place. You
may start to see changes as early as four weeks after CoolSculpting Elite and you will experience the
most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body will continue naturally to process the
injured fat cells from your body for approximately four months after your procedure.

Weight gain will prevent you from appreciating your full results. Maintaining your weight and a
healthy diet and exercise routine after your procedure can help prevent this.
Plan to attend your upcoming appointments for additional treatment and/or follow-up evaluation.
Please call us if you have any concerns following your treatment.
