About the DualSculpting Procedure

So many advancements are being made every day in the arena of body contouring. We are always working to make it safer, more effective, and faster. We have the amazing ability to deliver DualSculpting without the need to resort to general anesthetics or pain medication.

You will discuss with the provider precisely which two spots you find to be your trouble spots. During the body sculpting treatment, your practitioner will utilize two CoolSculpting machines. The CoolSculpting Elite applicators use advanced technology to streamline the process, achieving body sculpting at a high level of efficiency. This powerful, vacuum-like machine has been constructed to remove the excess fat tissue without harming nearby areas such as the surrounding skin. It works by gently suctioning the fat up into the applicator and freezing and destroying the fat cells.

The DualSculpting procedure is a very controlled cooling system, which targets these unnecessary fat cells. These fat cells are then frozen and broken down. From the cold temperatures, they deteriorate. During your Atlanta DualSculpting treatment, you may find that you experience a cool sensations in the areas that are being treated. This is totally normal and tends to only last for a few minutes while your body works to adjust.

As your body becomes acclimated to the temperature, this cool sensation will gradually diminish. Once your treatment is over, your body works to naturally process the dead fat cells and eliminate them from your body. Most patients are able to sit back and relax, read, maybe watch TV, or even catch a nap during their DualSculpting treatments. With double the action of a DualSculpting treatment, you can be out the door in an hour.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes cold temperatures to eliminate stubborn fat cells, effectively reducing fat in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. This results in an overall reduction in the fat layer. This treatment is non-surgical, non-invasive, and has minimal side effects with no downtime.

How does the CoolSculpting Elite procedure work?

Your body’s fat cells do not like the cold! The CoolSculpting Elite procedure works by precisely cooling fat cells to a temperature of -11 degrees Celsius. This cold exposure disrupts the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to become damaged and then eventually die. The targeted fat cells are then naturally eliminated through the body's normal metabolic processes in the weeks following the treatment. The body’s fat layer can be reduced by as much as 20-25% with CoolSculpting Elite.

What areas of the body does CoolSculpting Elite treat?

We like to say, “if you can squeeze it, we can freeze it!”. Our CoolSculpting Elite treatments can target fat in the flanks, abdomen, outer and inner thighs, arms, bra line, back, banana rolls, cami fat, knees, and chin. Learn more about each treatment area here.
