Below are answers to the questions patients ask most about CoolSculpting® Elite.

How does CoolSculpting® Elite work?

CoolSculpting® Elite uses controlled cooling to target and freeze unwanted fat cells beneath the skin. Once crystallized, the treated fat cells are gradually eliminated through your body’s natural processes over the following weeks.

Every treatment at Gerrish MedEsthetics is personalized to your anatomy, body contours, and aesthetic goals.

What makes CoolSculpting® Elite different?

CoolSculpting® Elite is the next generation of CoolSculpting technology.

Its redesigned dual applicators treat more surface area with improved fit and efficiency while maintaining the precision that has made CoolSculpting the world’s leading non-surgical fat reduction treatment.

Clinical studies have demonstrated up to a 25% reduction of treated fat following a single treatment in many patients.

Why choose Gerrish MedEsthetics for CoolSculpting®?

Experience matters.

Dr. Scott Gerrish is a nationally recognized leader in non-surgical body contouring and formerly served as Medical Director of CoolSculpting University East, where he trained physicians and medical professionals in advanced treatment planning and technique.

Am I a good candidate?

During your consultation, Dr. Scott Gerrish and our experienced clinical team will determine whether CoolSculpting® Elite or another body contouring treatment is the most appropriate option for your goals.

• Outer thighs
• Upper arms
• Under the chin
• Jawline
• Bra fat

• Beneath the buttocks (banana roll)

Every treatment plan is customized to your anatomy and desired outcome.

When will I see results?

Many patients begin seeing improvement within 4 to 6 weeks, with continued refinement over the following 12 to 16 weeks as the body naturally eliminates treated fat cells.

Is CoolSculpting® Elite safe?

Yes.

CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA-cleared and has been performed millions of times worldwide.

Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or numbness may occur following treatment and generally resolve on their own.

What does treatment feel like?

Patients typically experience intense cooling and firm pressure during the first several minutes of treatment.

As the treatment area becomes numb, most patients relax comfortably, read, work, or use their phone during the remainder of the session.

Is there downtime?

Very little.

Most patients return to work and normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

Are the results permanent?

Yes.

Once treated fat cells are eliminated, they do not return.

Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your long-term body contouring results.

How much does CoolSculpting® Elite cost?

Pricing depends on:

• Number of treatment areas
• Amount of fat being treated
• Your personalized treatment plan

A detailed recommendation and exact pricing are provided during your consultation.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Experience Matters. Planning Matters Even More.

Successful body contouring isn’t determined by the device alone.
