Want a better shape? You’re not alone.
Surveys have shown that over 17% of people would trade years of their life to achieve their dream physique. Not only can it be difficult to stick to a balanced diet and exercise routine, some fat pockets seem unaffected (thank you, genetics).
Body sculpting with CoolSculpting Elite helps patients at the beginning of their body contouring journey and those who want to perfect their efforts.
What is body sculpting?
Body sculpting (also known as body contouring) involves the use of specific treatments to reshape an area of the body, and it’s especially popular to target fat that lingers even after diet and exercise.
When a treatment re-contours those trouble spots, people discover:
- An expanded choice of fashion for work and play.
- More confidence to wear any swimsuit they want on our Florida beaches!
- The ability to look in the mirror with appreciation instead of trepidation.
It’s Not Weight Loss
Body sculpting like CoolSculpting in Lake Placid, FL, isn’t a weight loss program. Yes, it may remove fat cells in the treatment location. However, the surviving fat cells can continue to grow in size—so without a healthy diet and exercise regimen, weight can continue to increase even without that destroyed fat.
How CoolSculpting Elite Works
It’s called “CoolSculpting” because the technology literally freezes fat using a process called cryolipolysis. After those frozen fat cells die, your body naturally eliminates them over a few weeks.
During treatment, your provider uses specialized CoolSculpting Elite applicators that comfortably target specific areas of the body. There’s no surgery, no injections, and no need for stitches or scarring.
Because CoolSculpting Elite has multiple applicators that can be used simultaneously, you have the additional option to address more than 1 area in a single session.
After the procedure, CoolSculpting typically delivers a 20% to 25% reduction in fat in the treated area that helps achieve a more sculpted and toned appearance.
The CoolSculpting Process
Our CoolSculpting in Lake Placid gets rid of stubborn fat, but your treatment will start with a conversation.
Consultation
Your personal consultation allows our expert providers to get to know you in a safe, non-judgmental conversation. We’ll openly and honestly talk about your concerns, realistic goals for the treatment, and your medical history.
As part of this discussion, we’ll go over your lifestyle choices and current eating habits, and your provider will examine the fat deposits you want to get rid of. If CoolSculpting Elite proves to be the best solution for your needs, we’ll schedule your sessions.
Treatment
During your first appointment, your provider will mark the targeted treatment areas using a washable marker and specific measuring devices from CoolSculpting Elite. This provides a precise template to place the applicators.
We’ll cleanse the skin in your treatment area with a protective wipe and then apply a gel pad. The applicator sits at the center of the gel pad, and vacuum suction will draw in the skin and adipose (fatty) tissue up into the applicator.
Next, the provider applies controlled cooling to the treatment area. During this time, you may feel any or all of these sensations:
- Pulling.
- Intense cold.
- Mild pinching.
- Tingling.
- Stinging.
- Cramping.
These effects are normal, and our patients find them quite tolerable. Usually, those sensations alleviate after 10 minutes once the treatment area becomes numb. For the next 1 to 2 hours, you’ll relax and spend the time reading, using a phone or tablet, listening to music on earbuds, or just resting.
Once the freezing process ends, your provider will massage the affected tissue to enable your body to break up and dispose of it.
Post-Treatment
After your treatment, you can return to your daily routine. The targeted areas may be tender, but you won’t have specific restrictions. The results of CoolSculpting in Lake Placid won’t be immediately visible, because it may take 3 to 4 months for the body to flush away the dead fat cells so that the reduction becomes fully visible. Most patients start to see results from CoolSculpting Elite around the 3-week mark after your last treatment!
To make sure that your results last, we will be happy to talk about other options that support your body contouring and weight loss goals—including recommendations for diet and lifestyle habits that will help you keep the fat off.

CoolSculpting in Lake Placid, FL, offers several benefits as a fat reduction treatment.
Non-Invasive
As one advantage, CoolSculpting doesn’t require any incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery periods. You can come in, complete a treatment session, and then get on with your day. You won’t need to change dressings, wear bandages, or have stitches removed.
Highly Targeted
CoolSculpting Elite focuses on specific areas of stubborn fat that may not respond to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, and even the submental region (double chin). By eliminating fat cells in these areas, patients achieve a more contoured and sculpted appearance.
Safer Choice
CoolSculpting in Lake Placid is safe and has fewer (if any!) complications compared to surgical options like liposuction. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness or swelling in the treated area.
Natural-Looking Results
This non-surgical fat reduction delivers gradual, natural-looking results. Since the fat is reduced over time, your appearance transitions smoothly, making it less obvious that any cosmetic work has been done. This approach appeals to our patients who want subtle yet noticeable improvements to their physique.
Increased Confidence
Everyone struggles to love their entire appearance.. For many, aspects like stubborn, unwanted fat cause concern. CoolSculpting Elite offers a way to address those trouble spots without surgery, helping you achieve a more sculpted and contoured body.
Beyond the physical transformation, the boost in self-esteem can be life-changing. Feeling comfortable and confident in your body can enhance your self-image, improve your mood, and even positively influence other areas of your life, such as relationships and career.

How many CoolSculpting Elite treatments will I need?
Your exact treatment plan depends on the progress of your initial treatments and on your goals.
We schedule your 2nd appointment for 4 to 6 weeks after your initial session. During that time, your body can flush out most (or all) the dead fat cells. During that appointment, we’ll examine the treated area, measure your progress against your goals, and proceed with the 2nd treatment.
After another 4 to 6 weeks, you’ll return for a 3rd appointment, but we’ll only do the treatment if it’s necessary.
