CoolSculpting Elite: How Long Do the Results Last?

Sometimes, regardless of how diligently you exercise and cut calories, fat bulges in a few areas simply won’t budge. This is mostly common in the belly or midsection, but can also occur in the thighs, upper arms, and under the chin. Fortunately, CoolSculpting Elite in Singapore can contour different trouble zones for a more sculpted physique.

One of the main concerns, of course, is how long the results last. As CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive procedure, many are wondering how soon the results show up and whether they are temporary or permanent. Continue reading as we dive a little deeper and answer these questions. 

So, what is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is the revamped version of the original or the first CoolSculpting machine. It is US FDA-cleared for treating visible fat bulges in areas that don’t respond well to diet and exercise. Using fat freezing or controlled cooling, it targets, freezes, and eliminates fat cells, which then reduces the fat layer thickness in the area.

Fat freezing causes the fat cells to crystallize and die. The body will then process and remove these cells over time, resulting in a more sculpted appearance. It is also good to know that CoolSculpting Elite has features that can take your fat freezing treatment further. These include: 

• Dual sculpting – the device has two cooling panels that enable the treatment of two areas in a single session. This reduces overall treatment time.
• C-shaped applicators – (previously U-shaped) these complement the body’s natural curves, as well as increase patient comfort.
• Increased fat reduction – delivers up to 27% fat reduction in the area of concern after a single session.
• 18% more skin coverage – the revamped applicators can cover 18% more surface, which enables the treatment of more fat cells.
• Can treat 9 areas – CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in 9 different areas, including the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, buttocks, and under the chin.

How long do the results last?

One important thing to remember about CoolSculpting Elite is that its results are permanent. Once it targets, freezes, and eliminates fat cells, they are gone for good and will not migrate to other areas of the body. The longevity of your results, of course, will still be up to you, so it is best to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Do take note that the remaining fat cells in your body can expand with weight gain. This is especially true if you eat lots of unhealthy and processed foods, as well as maintain a sedentary lifestyle. Failing to engage in healthy habits will negate the results of fat freezing and you’ll soon gain what you’ve lost. 

You can maintain or improve the results of your treatment with:

• Eating a balanced diet (with fiber/whole grain, lean protein sources, and healthy fats)
• Exercising regularly or at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity every week
• Drinking lots of water and replacing soda and other sugary beverages with water
• Getting repeat treatments if needed

How soon can I see the results?

In about three to four weeks, you can see initial results that will continue to improve over the next few months. More significant results show after two to three months, and this will continue to develop four to six months after your CoolSculpting Elite treatment. It is important to be patient with your body and continue to live healthily. 

You can also enhance the results of your procedure with acoustic shockwave therapy. This uses shock waves and targeted vibrations to help break up frozen fat cells underneath. It can also break down fat and tissues that cause cellulite, as well as stimulate collagen to make the skin firmer and more elastic.
