Eliminate fat without surgery: All about Coolsculpting Elite in Valencia

 Cryolipolysis is a process that takes advantage of the sensitivity of fat cells to cold, cooling them to temperatures that cause their destruction without affecting the surrounding tissues. As the body metabolizes the treated cells, they are eliminated naturally through urine, the lymphatic system and feces without affecting cholesterol or triglyceride levels, as it is a progressive and slow way of elimination.

Coolsculpting Elite is an evolution of traditional Coolsculpting, improved in effectiveness and comfort. It uses two simultaneous applicators to treat larger areas or multiple areas in a single session, allowing the patient to obtain visible results in less time.

The process of Coolsculpting Elite The session begins with an initial evaluation at Dr. María Dolores Antón's Clinic, where the areas to be treated and the patient's aesthetic goals will be determined. During the session, the specialist will apply a device to the skin, which gently suctions the treatment area. The applicator cools the fat cells until they reach crystallization temperature, causing their cell death.

The treatment is not painful; in the first few minutes you may feel intense cold, followed by a slight discomfort that disappears quickly. Each Coolsculpting Elite session lasts between 35 and 60 minutes, and once finished, the patient can return to their daily activities without the need for recovery.

Coolsculpting Elite offers multiple benefits for those who wish to reduce fat without surgery. Below we highlight some of the main ones:

1. Permanent fat reduction:Once removed, fat cells do not regenerate, meaning the results are permanent as long as the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle.
2. Non-invasive and without anesthesia: Since it is not surgery, Coolsculpting Elite does not require incisions, anesthesia or recovery time. It is a comfortable procedure that allows you to return to your daily activities immediately.
3. Natural and gradual results: The effects of the treatment become visible gradually, as the body eliminates fat cells over the weeks. This allows for gradual and natural improvement in the figure.
4. Treatment of multiple areas: Coolsculpting Elite is effective in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, back and double chin, adapting to the individual needs of each patient.
5. Safety and efficacy: Coolsculpting technology has been approved by the FDA and has been proven in multiple clinical studies to be a safe and effective method for localized fat reduction.
6. Visible results in a short time: Many patients begin to notice visible changes within the first few weeks, although the final result can be seen after 2 to 4 months.

Coolsculpting Elite is indicated for people who are looking to reduce localized fat in specific areas, but who do not require significant weight loss. This treatment is ideal for those who, despite leading a healthy lifestyle, have fat accumulations that are difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise.

However, not all patients are candidates for Coolsculpting Elite. It is not recommended for obese people, as its goal is not general weight loss. It is an aesthetic treatment aimed at those who are close to their ideal weight and wish to shape their figure in specific areas.

Coolsculpting Elite is a quick and easy procedure. Each session can last between 35 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The fact that it uses two applicators allows the total procedure time to be reduced when treating multiple areas in one session.

Most patients require between one and three sessions to achieve their goals, although this can vary depending on the amount of fat and the patient's expectations. At Dr. María Dolores Antón's Clinic, the medical team creates a personalized plan for each patient, establishing the number of sessions necessary to obtain the best results.

One of the biggest advantages of Coolsculpting Elite is the visibility of the results.. Fat is reduced progressively and patients notice improvements in their body contour in just 3 to 4 weeks after treatment. The fat removal process continues for a few months, until the body has completely metabolized the treated cells.

It is important to note that although the results are permanent, maintaining them will depend on leading a healthy lifestyle. The removed fat cells do not regenerate, but if the patient gains weight, fat cells in other areas may increase in size.

Below we answer some of the most common questions that patients interested in Coolsculpting Elite have:

• Is Coolsculpting Elite painful? No, although it may cause a sensation of coldness and pressure at the beginning of the session, most patients find it tolerable.
• How long do the results last? The results are permanent, as long as the patient maintains their weight and lifestyle.
• How many sessions are needed? This varies depending on individual needs, but one to three sessions is usually sufficient.
• Can I exercise after treatment? Yes, Coolsculpting Elite does not require recovery time, so you can resume your physical activity immediately.
• Are there any risks or side effects? Side effects are usually mild and include temporary redness or swelling in the treated area, which disappears within a few days.

Comparison with other fat reduction treatments?

There are several fat reduction methods on the market, but Coolsculpting Elite stands out in several key ways:

1. Coolsculpting Elite vs. LiposuctionLiposuction is a surgery that involves incisions, anesthesia, and recovery time. While effective, it has a higher risk of complications. Coolsculpting Elite, on the other hand, is noninvasive, does not require anesthesia, and allows you to return to your daily activities immediately.
2. Coolsculpting Elite vs. UltrasoundUltrasound is another noninvasive technique for fat reduction, but it uses sound waves instead of cold. Although it is also effective, it usually requires more sessions to obtain visible results and the results are not definitive.
3. Coolsculpting Elite vs. Radiofrequency: Radiofrequency heats the cells of the deep dermis and does not affect the fatty layer, thus producing a tightening of the skin, which is why it is not a treatment indicated for the elimination of fat.

Post-treatment care?

Coolsculpting Elite does not require any special care after the procedure, but some patients may experience swelling or redness in the treated area. It is recommended to stay well hydrated and avoid alcohol in the following days to facilitate the elimination of fat cells through the lymphatic system.

It is important to remember that Coolsculpting Elite does not replace a balanced diet or exercise program. To maintain long-term results, it is recommended that the patient take care of their diet and maintain a stable weight.

If you want to eliminate localized fat effectively and without resorting to surgery, Coolsculpting Elite can be an excellent option. This treatment offers visible, natural and permanent results, without the risks or recovery time that a surgical intervention entails.
