00:02 - Hello, I'm Dr. Patrick Basil,
00:07 board certified plastic surgeon from Jacksonville, Florida,
00:10 who specializes in body contouring.
00:12 Today I'm teaming up with Allergan Aesthetics
00:14 to talk about one of the most popular procedures
00:17 in our practice, CoolSculpting Elite.
00:19 I'm joined with one of my CoolSculpting Elite
00:21 patients, Remus.
00:22 CoolSculpting Elite is the only FDA cleared,
00:26 cold-based, non-surgical treatment
00:28 that uses a process called cryolipolysis
00:31 to permanently remove fat
00:32 from nine FDA cleared areas of the body.
00:36 A typical session can last anywhere
00:38 from 35 minutes to several hours,
00:40 depending on the number of areas we were going to treat.
00:42 We also have dual applicators
00:44 and can treat multiple areas of the body at once.
00:47 Typically, we can expect to see the results
00:50 at about one to three months after your last treatment.
00:53 A common question we get is,
00:55 who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting Elite?
00:57 And the answer is anybody that has stubborn areas of fat
01:01 that are non-responsive to diet and exercise.
01:04 Remus was an excellent candidate for CoolSculpting Elite
01:07 because he maintains a very healthy lifestyle,
01:09 is active, but just had those stubborn areas of fat
01:12 in his flank and abdominal area that wouldn't go away.
01:16 - As I got older, my metabolism started to slow down
01:19 and I had a lot of competing priorities
01:20 between work and starting a family.
01:22 So it was hard to find time to follow a serious diet
01:25 and to increase the number of workouts I did per week.
01:27 Once I learned about CoolSculpting Elite,
01:29 I thought it would be a good addition to my overall journey,
01:31 especially when I was informed
01:32 that there was little to no downtime,
01:34 so I'd be able to go about my day after treatment.
01:37 About two months ago, I was evaluated to ensure
01:39 I would be a good candidate for the treatment.
01:41 After being approved, Dr. Basil and I worked together
01:44 to create a unique treatment plan just for me.
01:46 I received my first CoolSculpting Elite treatment
01:48 on my flanks, and so far I'm really happy with the results.
01:52 These results inspired me
01:52 to come back to Dr. Basil's office today
01:54 to work on another area, my abdomen.
01:57 During the treatment, there's a sensation of coldness.
01:59 After about 10 minutes or so, the area goes numb.
02:02 Once the area's numb, I can relax and just hang out.
02:04 And at the end, there's a short massage
02:06 that some people find uncomfortable,
02:07 but to me, it's similar to a sports massage.
02:10 A common question we get is how many sessions
02:12 someone's going to need with CoolSculpting Elite.
02:15 Usually I tell my patients to expect about two sessions,
02:18 separated about six to eight weeks apart,
02:20 but it really depends on how many areas
02:22 we're going to treat, and you should really work
02:24 with your licensed healthcare professional
02:26 to come up with a tailored plan for you.
02:28 If someone's interested in CoolSculpting Elite,
02:30 I recommend going on CoolSculpting.com
