Almost everyone has a few areas on their body they’d like to slim down or shape up, but diet and exercise don’t always do the trick. Even with a healthy lifestyle and dedicated fitness regimen, it can be exceedingly challenging to get rid of certain pockets of fat, whether due to genetics, age, or another factor. While cosmetic surgery is certainly effective for fat removal, many men and women prefer a more convenient and affordable fat reduction treatment that does not require time away from work and household responsibilities. To help these patients achieve their goals and feel more confident about their figures, board-certified physician Dr. James D. Fontaine and the team at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine in San Diego, CA are proud to offer the highly advanced and noninvasive CoolSculpting Elite fat reduction system.

How can I get rid of fat without liposuction?

Individuals seeking an alternative to liposuction that offers minimal downtime and long-lasting results may be excited to learn about nonsurgical fat reduction with CoolSculpting Elite. This state-of-the-art technology offers even more benefits than the original CoolSculpting system, including faster treatment times, wider coverage, and the ability to treat up to two areas simultaneously. CoolSculpting Elite removes diet- and exercise-resistant fat cells through the process of cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as “fat freezing.” During treatment, adipose (fatty) areas are cooled to a precise temperature, at which point the fat cells die. Over the course of several weeks or months, the body naturally disposes of these fat cells, leaving patients with a slimmer, more desirable figure.

Where can CoolSculpting Elite be used?

CoolSculpting Elite offers patients the unique opportunity to reduce bulging pockets of fat from head to toe, with some of the most popular treatment areas being:

  • Double chin
  • Upper arms
  • Upper back
  • Bra roll (bra line back fat)
  • Abdomen
  • Love handles
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Under the buttocks (banana roll)

Again, CoolSculpting Elite allows patients to treat up to two areas at once, meaning you can address your problem areas in half the time other treatments may take.

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting Elite?

Ideal candidates for CoolSculpting Elite nonsurgical fat reduction should be:

  • Near their goal weight
  • Frustrated with stubborn areas of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise
  • Committed to maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine after treatment
  • Desire a more convenient alternative to liposuction
  • Hoping for a long-term reduction of fat cells by up to 20 – 25%
  • In good overall health

Are the results of CoolSculpting permanent?

Fat cells treated with CoolSculpting Elite will be expelled from the body, but patients must strive to maintain a stable weight in order to preserve their newly slimmed physique. Gaining weight after CoolSculpting can reverse the results of treatment, but with a stable weight, the results of CoolSculpting Elite can last for many, many years to come.

When I came to Dr. Fontaine several years ago, I was going into early menopause and experiencing so many symptoms. Hot flashes, fatigue, pain, brain fog, and depression that were being dismissed by my regular doctors. Dr. Fontaine was truly a godsend. He listened, took my concerns seriously, and helped me create a plan that worked for my body. Over time, we adjusted my medication, and I now feel 100% better. I’m so grateful for his care and support!

Louise initially treated me with Botox at an MD clinic I had been using for years. I was so pleased with my results, when she moved to Fontaine MD I followed her even though it was much farther away. Recently, I decided to also get fillers and expressed to her my desire for a very natural and youthful look, and she nailed it! She is a licensed RN with an Art degree therefore she really understands the anatomy and symmetry of the face. She is welcoming, professional, never rushes and very skilled at injecting both Botox and fillers, I highly recommend Louise!I also highly recommend Fontaine MD, great Doctor, and staff in a lovely, serene setting. They were instrumental in aiding me in a 20+ lb weight loss (so easy) and I could not be more grateful. I feel and look so much better and have maintained my new weight. That is not easy for many 60-year-old females.

Louise is absolutely wonderful to work with! I have seen her for both an IPL facial and Botox (my very first time!). She took the time to answer my questions, address my concerns, and put my mind at ease. I could sense that I was in the hands of someone who was going to take care of me. Louise cares about her clients and their desired outcomes. I have done IPL facials in the past with other providers and the procedures felt very harsh on my skin. With Louise, my skin was not red, bumpy, or painful after and my sunspots were treated effectively! I also trusted Louise with my first Botox experience. Louise made me feel both comfortable and excited about the natural but effective results I was hoping to have! I am thankful I found Louise and will be a returning client!

Louise listened to my skin concerns, made recommendations and completed Botox and filler procedures that that made an amazing difference!

Before seeing Dr. Fontaine, I had no idea I could feel better. I just assumed that as I got older, low energy, hormonal struggles, and general decline were just part of life—something I had to accept. Looking back, I realize how much I had normalized feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and off-balance. My energy had dipped, my sleep was inconsistent, and no matter what I did, things like weight gain and mood swings seemed unavoidable. I wasn’t in crisis—I just wasn’t thriving. Dr. Fontaine completely changed that. From the first appointment, he took the time to listen, evaluate my symptoms, and explain what was really happening in my body. Seeing my lab results was an eye-opener—I finally had real data that explained why I felt the way I did. Within a couple of months of starting treatment, I started feeling like myself again. My energy improved, my focus sharpened, and I finally started sleeping through the night. Over time, the changes were undeniable—I was stronger, my mood was steady, and I didn’t feel like I was constantly fighting against my own body. Dr. Fontaine has been with me every step of the way, adjusting my treatment as needed and making sure I feel my best. He’s thorough, knowledgeable, and truly invested in his patients' well-being. I never feel rushed in my appointments, and he always takes the time to answer my questions. I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on until I started feeling this good again. Now, I feel like I’ve regained the energy, confidence, and vitality I thought were long gone. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Fontaine for helping me.
