Do you have stubborn belly fat that won't go away no matter how much you diet or exercise? At Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine, we offer advanced treatments like CoolSculpting Elite to help you address localized fat and achieve your ideal body shape.

So, what is CoolSculpting Elite, does body contouring work, and how soon can you notice results after treatment? Individual timelines vary, but you may notice a slimmer appearance in as little as three weeks. The most dramatic outcomes can be seen in about 1 – 3 months.

Below, we'll explore what you can expect from this innovative treatment and why CoolSculpting Elite is a top choice among patients in San Diego, CA. Call now to book an appointment with Dr. James D. Fontaine.

The problem with localized fat

Localized fat, also known as "stubborn" or "problem" fat, is caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, hormones, and lifestyle habits. This type of fat is often resistant to standard diet and exercise methods. While many people turn to liposuction for stubborn belly fat, invasive procedures are risky, expensive, and require significant downtime. Methods like CoolSculpting Elite, on the other hand, are noninvasive and require no downtime.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

You may have heard of CoolSculpting before, but what is CoolSculpting Elite? This advanced treatment is an upgraded version of the original CoolSculpting technology, using a better applicator to deliver improved results in less time. It works by targeting and freezing fat cells, causing them to crystallize and eventually die off. These dead fat cells are then expelled from the body, leaving behind a slimmer and contoured appearance.

How soon will I notice CoolSculpting results?

As mentioned, individual timelines vary. However, most patients begin to see a difference in their body shape within three weeks. This is because it takes a little time for your body to get rid of the dead fat cells. The most noticeable CoolSculpting results are seen between 1 – 3 months after treatment. During a consultation in San Diego, CA, Dr. Fontaine can provide a more accurate timeline based on the following:

  • The target area(s)
  • The amount of fat present
  • Your natural response to CoolSculpting Elite
  • How well you adhere to a healthy lifestyle after the procedure

Does body contouring work on localized fat?

So, does body contouring work when it comes to hard-to-reach fat in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the buttocks? The answer is yes! CoolSculpting Elite has been clinically proven to reduce fat in a wide range of targeted areas. This treatment has become a popular choice at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine because it is noninvasive and provides noticeable outcomes with little to no downtime.
