Can CoolSculpting® Help You Get Rid of Your Muffin Top?

Our bodies accumulate fat in certain areas, especially around the abdomen. If a muffin top is ruining your sculpted look, you can get rid of it with CoolSculpting® Elite. This effective fat reduction treatment freezes away unwanted fat without surgery or injections. 

What is CoolSculpting® Elite for Fat Reduction? 

CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive method of fat reduction and body sculpting. This non-invasive treatment freezes fat cells without affecting the skin, giving you a smoother, more contoured figure. At New York Skin & Vein Centers, we offer the advanced CoolSculpting® Elite system to achieve your best results more quickly. 

Can CoolSculpting® Help You Get Rid of a Muffin Top?

CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA-cleared to treat nine areas of the body, including frustrating spots like your muffin top. You can have CoolSculpting® Elite in these areas:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Back fat
  • Bra fat
  • Upper arms
  • Under the chin or jaw
  • Under the buttocks (banana roll)

Each muffin top is different so treatment may involve the abdomen, flanks, or both. These are among the most popular CoolSculpting® Elite treatment locations, and this advanced system allows your New York Skin & Vein provider to treat two areas simultaneously. 

How Does CoolSculpting® Elite Work?

CoolSculpting® Elite works because fat cells freeze to death at a different temperature than skin cells. This treatment uses external cold technology to freeze the fat cells till they break down. The skin remains unaffected, making CoolSculpting® Elite a non-invasive, no-downtime option for fat reduction. Your lymphatic system will filter away the dead fat cells over time. 

Is There Any Downtime After CoolSculpting® Elite?

CoolSculpting® Elite requires no downtime. The skin is not damaged during treatment, so it requires no special care. You may experience redness, sensitivity, or numbness in the treated area that typically fades within a few days. The lack of downtime contributes to the popularity of CoolSculpting® Elite as a body sculpting treatment.

What Results Will I See With CoolSculpting® Elite?

Fat cells treated by CoolSculpting® Elite leave the treated area gradually after treatment. Most people will start to notice results within a few weeks. Full results take three months or more to develop. 

Some people will achieve the results they desire with a single treatment. Many others benefit from two sessions to see more fat reduction. CoolSculpting® Elite can remove up to 25% of fat from targeted areas with each session. 

Since fat cells will not grow back after treatment, CoolSculpting® Elite results can last a lifetime. Maintaining a stable weight will maintain your sculpted look, while significant weight changes can alter the appearance of the treated area. 

Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite?

CoolSculpting® Elite works safely on all skin types and tones. Almost anyone is a good candidate, especially those who want to target stubborn fat. Ideal candidates have specific spots they want to treat and are close to their goal weight. While others can benefit from CoolSculpting® Elite, their results may not be as dramatic.
