FDA-cleared fat reduction with no needles, no downtime

At Holcomb - Kreithen Plastic Surgery & MedSpa in Tampa, we’re proud to offer CoolSculpting Elite—the newest generation of cryolipolysis technology designed to reduce stubborn fat in up to nine areas of the body. With dual applicators and enhanced contouring precision, CoolSculpting Elite in Tampa helps you achieve a smoother, slimmer figure without surgery.

What Is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to target and freeze fat cells. Once frozen, those fat cells die off and are naturally eliminated by your body over the next several weeks. The procedure is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia or downtime, and delivers long-lasting results.

This upgraded system improves on the original CoolSculpting technology with:

  • Faster treatment times thanks to dual applicators
  • 18% more surface coverage per applicator
  • Enhanced contact with skin for better fat reduction
  • Improved comfort and fit for various body shapes

Areas CoolSculpting Elite Treats

CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared for more treatment areas than any other non-surgical fat reduction technology:

  • Chin and jawline
  • Upper arms
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks/love handles
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Banana rolls (under buttocks)
  • Bra fat
  • Male chest (pseudogynecomastia)

What Makes CoolSculpting Elite Different?

Compared to its predecessor, CoolSculpting Legacy, the Elite system offers a higher fat reduction rate (20–25%), a more ergonomic fit, and the ability to treat multiple areas at once.

At our Tampa office, we perform dual-sculpting and quad-sculpting, meaning we can treat both thighs or both flanks at the same time—cutting your session time in half while delivering symmetrical results.

CoolSculpting EliteFrequently Asked Questions

How many CoolSculpting Elite treatments will I need?

Most patients see noticeable results after just one session per area, but depending on your goals and how your body responds, multiple sessions may be recommended. During your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan that outlines the number of cycles needed for optimal results.

Does CoolSculpting Elite hurt?

CoolSculpting Elite is generally well tolerated. You may feel intense cold, tingling, or slight pressure for the first few minutes, but the area typically becomes numb quickly. After treatment, you might experience mild soreness, swelling, or cramping—similar to the feeling after a tough workout.

How long do CoolSculpting Elite results last?

CoolSculpting Elite permanently removes treated fat cells. Once eliminated, they do not return. As long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your results can be long-lasting and even permanent.

Is CoolSculpting Elite safe?

Yes. CoolSculpting Elite is FDA-cleared and has been extensively studied for both safety and efficacy. At Holcomb–Kreithen in Tampa, your treatment is performed by trained professionals under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeons.

What’s the difference between CoolSculpting and liposuction?

CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment with no anesthesia, incisions, or downtime. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes more significant fat volume and may be better for patients seeking more dramatic reshaping. We offer both and can help determine which is right for you during your consultation.

Can I combine CoolSculpting Elite with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many of our Tampa patients pair CoolSculpting Elite with skin tightening treatments like Morpheus8, EvolveX, or BodyTite for enhanced results. We can design a comprehensive body contouring plan tailored to your goals.

When can I return to work after treatment?

You can return to work or normal daily activities immediately following your CoolSculpting Elite session. There’s no downtime, which makes it an excellent option for those with a busy schedule.
