CoolSculpting Elite: Freeze and Eliminate Unwanted Fat

For those who maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise, realizing that the body can still retain stubborn fat deposits that are difficult to eliminate through these methods alone can be discouraging.

If you're dealing with persistent bulges, uneven contours, or specific areas that seem resistant to change, CoolSculpting presents an innovative solution for achieving a more defined and attractive figure. We offer CoolSculpting services to residents in Richmond, Northern Virginia, Tyson's Corner, Charlottesville, and Washington, DC. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and discover more about this transformative treatment!

CoolSculpting Technology

CoolSculpting is a unique body contouring method that harnesses the effects of cold to effectively reduce unwanted fat cells. Through a groundbreaking technique called cryolipolysis, this treatment freezes and destroys the fat cells, contributing to stubborn and undesirable fat deposits.

After the fat cells are frozen, your body naturally processes and eliminates them over time. The recovery period following the treatment is minimal, allowing you to achieve remarkable results without disrupting your daily routine.

We also offer an applicator suitable for smaller regions.

Common areas that can be effectively treated include the following:

  • Thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Love Handles
  • Flanks
  • Back Fat
  • Bra Fat

Rest and Recovery After CoolSculpting

Aside from experiencing some tenderness in the treated area, you won’t have significant downtime. You can resume your normal daily activities almost immediately after your session. Since CoolSculpting gradually reduces fat cells, you can expect to see initial results within three weeks.

Complete results typically begin to emerge between two and four months after the treatment. While individual outcomes may vary, many patients achieve up to a 20% reduction in fat with CoolSculpting. Following your treatment, adhering to a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential to maintain your newly contoured appearance.

The CoolSculpting Advantage

CoolSculpting logo

In simple terms, CoolSculpting is becoming one of the most effective methods for eliminating stubborn fat deposits and achieving a more toned, contoured physique. Its growing popularity as a body contouring option can be attributed to several key benefits:

  • It can provide a fat reduction of 20% to 25% in challenging “trouble zone” areas
  • It has minimal impact on your busy lifestyle
  • Treatments can be completed in our office in approximately one hour
  • The procedure is entirely non-invasive, meaning no scalpels, injections, anesthesia, incisions, or painful suction are involved
  • There is no risk of surgical complications
  • No downtime is required after the treatment
  • Unlike some heat-based technologies, there is no risk of burns

Why Opt for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia Treatment at Little Lipo?

The good news is that paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) can be effectively treated with surgery. Our board-certified (ABPS) surgeons are experienced in performing liposuction to remove the tissue mass associated with PAH, helping patients achieve their desired outcomes. In many cases, CoolSculpting may cover the cost of liposuction as a rebate.

Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, both board-certified plastic surgeons, specialize in cosmetic body contouring and are experts in addressing complications related to CoolSculpting. With over a decade of experience and more than 10,000 procedures performed, the Sundin brothers are among the largest CoolSculpting providers in the United States. They have been invited to lecture on CoolSculpting and serve on expert advisory panels for Allergan, the parent company of CoolSculpting.

Here’s why we are the best choice for your treatment:

  • Over 14 years of experience in CoolSculpting and managing PAH
  • Specialization in advanced liposuction techniques and body contouring
  • A proven track record of successfully treating many patients with this condition
  • Assistance with facilitating reimbursement through the CoolSculpting insurance provider

If you are experiencing complications from CoolSculpting, please contact Little Lipo for an evaluation. We will review your case and determine if liposuction is the right solution for you.

CoolSculpting FAQ

Is CoolSculpting painful?

While some patients may experience discomfort during the procedure, most report only mild to moderate sensations of pulling, tugging, or coldness.

Can CoolSculpting Elite eliminate my cellulite?

CoolSculpting Elite is not specifically designed to treat cellulite. However, it can help reduce excess fat in the targeted area, potentially leading to a smoother appearance of the skin.

Will CoolSculpting assist with weight loss?

CoolSculpting is not intended for weight loss but focuses on reducing localized fat deposits in specific body areas.

How long does swelling last after a CoolSculpting session?

Swelling may persist for up to two weeks following CoolSculpting but generally diminishes within a few days.

Can CoolSculpting reduce saddlebags?

Yes, CoolSculpting is an effective non-surgical option for minimizing saddlebags and contouring the thighs.

Is CoolSculpting effective for gynecomastia?

Yes, CoolSculpting can help reduce excess fat in the chest area associated with gynecomastia. However, it may not be suitable for severe cases or those primarily caused by glandular tissue enlargement, where surgical options may be more appropriate.

How old do I have to be to get CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for adults 18 years and older. Although there’s no upper age limit, candidates should be in good overall health, close to their ideal weight, and have areas of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise.

Where does the fat go when it's removed by CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, which are then gradually broken down and processed by the body’s lymphatic system. Over the next few weeks to months, the body naturally eliminates these dead fat cells, reducing the fat layer in the treated area. Once these fat cells are removed, they are gone for good, leaving a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

How often can you get treated with CoolSculpting?

The frequency of CoolSculpting treatments depends on your individual goals and treatment plan. Most people see results after one or two sessions, spaced about 1-3 months apart.
