Got a little bit of stubborn fat that won’t budge, despite a healthy diet and exercise? Now, you can do something about it without surgery.
CoolSculpting Elite eliminates up to 20-25% of treated fat cells, for good! By freezing fat cells until they are damaged, your body can then break them down and eliminate them from the area naturally. Your skin, muscle, and other tissues stay healthy and unharmed. No needles, no surgery, and no downtime—just results. We perform CoolSculpting Elite for people from San Diego, Encinitas, Oceanside, and San Marcos at our La Jolla and Carlsbad medical spa locations.

CoolSculpting Elite uses a proprietary technology called cryolipolysis. It uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells to the point where they break down without causing damage to other tissues. Though results vary from person to person, cryolipolysis is one of the most studied nonsurgical techniques used for body contouring. It has proven very effective at reducing unsightly fat bulges that may have resisted diet and exercise in the past.
CoolSculpting Elite is the latest in CoolSculpting technology. The new applicators have more complete coverage of the treatment area and each machine has dual applicators, allowing treatment of multiple areas at the same time.
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for reducing fat bulges in the following areas:
It’s a fantastic option for both men and women. Many guys have fat that won’t budge no matter how hard they work in the gym (we’re talking to you, love handles). CoolSculpting Elite takes care of what diet and exercise do not.

One of the biggest benefits of CoolSculpting Elite? The recovery process is a breeze. You may have some tingling, redness, sensitivity, or bruising in your treated areas, but this typically goes away in just a couple of days.
You may see a reduction in as little as one month, as your body naturally gets rid of the fat cells. After 2 to 3 months, you should notice a real difference in how much slimmer you look and feel. Because the treated fat cells are gone for good, your results will last for as long as you’re able to maintain a stable body weight.
It’s important to “treat to complete,” meaning we want you to get the best possible results, which usually takes more than one treatment session. Some people are happy with the results they see after a single treatment. But typically, two treatment sessions, spread about 6 weeks apart, are needed to get people to their goal. If there is particularly stubborn fat in an area and after two sessions, you are not quite where you want to be, an extra treatment session might be recommended.
CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared to safely and effectively treat 9 areas of the body. The most common side effects are temporary mild bruising, numbness, redness, tingling, and swelling. More serious side effects are extremely rare.
Since 1988, more than 36,000 patients have had safe, successful procedures at La Jolla Cosmetic Medical Spa.
While both of these treatments are designed to reduce unwanted fat deposits, CoolSculpting Elite is best for those who are generally happy with their proportions but have modest yet pesky fat bulges.
Liposuction surgery may be better for those with larger fat deposits who could benefit from more dramatic reshaping, which a board-certified plastic surgeon achieves with surgery. Liposuction is still typically the best option for reducing fat on the face, neck, arms, or legs.
Here are a few ways we’re dedicated to giving you the best experience:

A: CoolSculpting works beautifully to minimize subcutaneous fat on the abdomen. This is the pinchable fat just below your skin that hides your hard-earned six-pack. However, it doesn’t work on visceral belly fat, the firmer fat stored deeper below your muscles. Diet and exercise are usually better solutions for this type of fat.
A: As long as you maintain a stable weight, your results will last for good. You will still be able to gain weight after your treatment, so it’s important to stay dedicated to a healthy lifestyle to preserve your new shape.
A: Skin irritation is a fairly common side effect, so you’ll want to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing or any material that may chafe or bother your skin in the treated area. This should subside within a day or so. Other than that, you’re free to resume all of your usual activities, including work and the gym.
A: The main sensation people describe is a feeling of intense cold at the beginning of the treatment. If you’ve ever put your hand in an ice bucket to pull out a cool drink, you’ll know the feeling. This only lasts a few minutes and eventually subsides to numbness. You may also feel some tingling or “thawing” as your treated area warms back up after your session.
A: CoolSculpting does not offer any skin tightening benefits, so it’s usually best for people who have good skin elasticity in their targeted areas. However, treatments such as NovaThreads® and ThermiTight® are excellent options for nonsurgical skin tightening that can be included in your treatment plan.
