CoolSculpting® Elite: Refining Your Shape Without Surgery
We have all been there. You stick to a healthy diet and never miss a workout, but certain areas just will not budge. It is incredibly frustrating when your hard work isn’t fully reflected in your silhouette.
You might be dealing with a stubborn “pooch” that ignores every sit-up, or love handles that make your favorite jeans feel tight. Sometimes it’s fat pads under the chin or along the thighs.
At Le Rêve Med Spa, we get that these pockets of stubborn body fat are often just biological. We use CoolSculpting® Elite body sculpting to help bridge that gap.
Before & After Photos
How CoolSculpting® Elite Body Sculpting Works
CoolSculpting® Elite is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical way to target unwanted fat using cryolipolysis. Basically, it freezes fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin. Once those cells are crystallized, they undergo natural cell death and your lymphatic system clears them away gradually.
- Dual Applicators: The Elite system lets us treat two areas at once, which really cuts down your time in the office.
- Quick Sessions: Some treatments take as little as 35 minutes.
- No Downtime: There are no needles or surgery, so you can go right back to your life in Pasadena.
Why Choose Le Rêve Med Spa: Experience Matters
What really sets us apart is physician-led care. Dr. Hany K. Zaki has decades of clinical experience. Under his guidance, your body sculpting is strategically planned to complement your natural features. It is not just about placing machines; it is about medical oversight and ensuring safety and balance.
We customize the applicator placement specifically for your concerns to get a harmonious result.
What Results Look Like
You’ll start to see changes as soon as 1-3 months post-treatment. Final results may take 6 months or more. Because your body has to process the dead fat cells, results evolve over time. Most patients notice a visible reduction in fat layer thickness and a more refined silhouette.
- Timeline: You will likely start seeing changes within 1-3 months.
- The Feel: Expect pressure and intense cold for the first few minutes, but that fades fast. Most people just read, work on a laptop, or nap.
- Side Effects: Temporary numbness, swelling, or discomfort can happen.
It is important to remember that this is not a weight loss solution for obesity. It is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for people with stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise. You can still gain weight post-treatment if you don’t keep up healthy habits.
Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite body sculpting?
Good candidates are men and women who want to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat in certain areas of their body.
The CoolSculpting® Elite body sculpting procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, CoolSculpting® is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however, a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
“No two bodies are alike! Due to the patience of the staff at Le Rêve, I was able to implement a customized treatment plan for my abdomen. I am using a combination of Velashape and Coolsculpting to perfect the size, shape, and texture of this trouble spot. Thank you, Le Rêve!”

How long is each session? How many sessions will I need?
We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. Each CoolSculpting® Elite treatment is different, so it depends on which areas of the body and how many of them you plan on doing.
Depending on the area, treatment can be done in as little as 35 minutes. If you opt to do multiple treatments in a session, expect to spend more time.
The CoolSculpting® Elite machines feature dual applicators, allowing patients to do multiple treatment areas at once, reducing the amount of time spent in-office, as compared to using one CoolSculpting® applicator.
