CoolSculpting Elite Vs Liposuction – Which Option is Best For You?

CoolSculpting Elite vs Liposuction: Both treatments are effective, but which one you select depends on your timeline and expectations. Take into account any downtime, recovery time or cost involved before making a final decision.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can efficiently eliminate more fat in one session than CoolSculpting Elite, but it carries with it more risk and requires longer recovery time than CoolSculpting does.

The surgical treatment can take up to an hour and requires anesthesia, is more invasive and requires little downtime than CoolSculpting Elite. This makes it a great option for patients who want results quickly but don’t mind the discomfort that liposuction often causes.

Liposuction is a safe and effective alternative for those with stubborn fat pockets that won’t respond to diet or exercise. This treatment can reduce fat in areas like the abdomen, arms, hips, and thighs.

Invasive fat reduction treatments

Liposuction, which removes fat from the body, is not a non-invasive fat reduction treatment. Instead of targeting fat cells beneath the skin with needles or surgery, non-invasive fat reduction treatments target fat cells in the subcutaneous layer and eliminate them through controlled cooling – with an impressive success rate!

When selecting between liposuction and CoolSculpting Elite, the first question to ask yourself is if you want immediate results or would prefer gradual progress over time. If the latter is your preference, liposuction could be a better fit.

CoolSculpting Elite Non-invasive body sculpting

CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-approved body contouring treatment that uses cryolipolysis (fat freezing) to target stubborn fat without surgery. This process freezes and kills fat cells while protecting nearby skin, nerves, blood vessels and muscles – with minimal comfort or downtime required afterward.

Up to 25% of treated fat cells can permanently eliminated, giving you a toned and leaner figure. Plus, it targets stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise so your results last longer.

During the procedure, you’ll placed in a comfortable reclined position as the applicator applied to your targeted area. It is common for patients to experience a sucking sensation and slight pinching at the treatment site as it cools, but these feelings should subside quickly.

Your skin will then feel numb, and you can relax as the device continues to freeze away unwanted fat. Once the procedure is complete, your provider will massage the treatment area to break up and remove any remaining crystals of fat.

Non-invasive fat reduction treatments

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, meaning there’s no risk of scarring or surgical complications. After your treatment, most patients can return to normal activities right away and most see visible results within three weeks of their initial treatment. It may take up to several months for your body to naturally rid itself of dead fat cells.

CoolSculpting is the ideal solution for patients searching for a long-term solution to lose unwanted body fat. Unlike liposuction, which may pose serious risks and side effects, CoolSculpting is safe, effective, and requires little or no downtime afterward.

It not recommended for removing large areas of fat, but it can help slim and tighten the stomach area, hips, flanks, back, thighs, chin and arms. This method works best when patients are already at a healthy weight but have stubborn deposits of fat that resist exercise or diet changes.
