Are you bothered by the presence of stubborn fat that you just can't seem to shake off? CoolSculpting Elite is an innovative approach to body sculpting, offering a nonsurgical solution to get rid of those fatty deposits with little to no downtime. At Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine in San Diego, CA, Dr. James D. Fontaine brings this innovative treatment to patients looking to refine their body contours. If you're wondering whether CoolSculpting Elite is the right choice for you, here are some points to consider.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is a cutting-edge fat-freezing procedure designed to reduce unwanted fat in specific areas of the body. This treatment works by targeting and freezing fat cells, which are then naturally removed by the body over time. It's a noninvasive alternative to traditional body sculpting methods, making it a popular choice for those looking to contour their bodies without surgery.

Is CoolSculpting Elite right for me?

  • You have stubborn fat you can't seem to get rid of: If you've tried dieting and exercising but still have pockets of fat that refuse to disappear, CoolSculpting Elite might be the solution. This treatment is particularly effective for those who struggle with areas like love handles, belly fat, or thigh fat. The precision of fat freezing allows for targeted treatment, making it easier to achieve a more sculpted look.
  • You're close to your ideal weight: CoolSculpting Elite is best suited for individuals who are near their ideal weight but have specific areas of stubborn fat. It's not a weight loss solution but rather a body contouring treatment that enhances the shape of your body. If you're looking to fine-tune your physique and address those last few trouble spots, this procedure can help you achieve your goals.
  • You're interested in body sculpting without surgery: One of the biggest advantages of CoolSculpting Elite is that it offers body sculpting without the need for surgery. There are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime required. This makes it an appealing option for those who want to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. You can resume your normal activities almost immediately after treatment.

Which areas can you target with fat freezing?

CoolSculpting Elite is a versatile treatment that can target a variety of areas where stubborn fat tends to accumulate. Some of the more common treatment areas include:

  • The abdomen: Send those love handles packing and feel more confident and comfortable the next time you step out.
  • The buttocks: Many men and women struggle with "banana rolls," or rolls of fat that rest just underneath the butt. CoolSculpting Elite allows us to get into those areas to spot-reduce troublesome fat.
  • The chest: If your bra straps are putting a squeeze on your chest and allowing fat to bulge out, CoolSculpting Elite can help.

While diet and exercise are both important ways to keep in shape, they don't allow you to target specific areas for fat reduction. CoolSculpting Elite offers a solution so you can finally attain your desired shape.

Is CoolSculpting permanent?

CoolSculpting Elite's fat-freezing process destroys fat cells in the target area, meaning they will not return. However, maintaining a stable weight is essential to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding. A healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet will help preserve your results. This ensures that you continue to enjoy the benefits of your body sculpting treatment for 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!

N.B. Yelp

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.
