Diet and exercise are key components of body wellness, but they do not control where your body stores stubborn fat. Stubborn pockets in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms can persist regardless of how consistently you work out or how carefully you eat. That is where CoolSculpting® Elite comes in.
Clair De Lune Aesthetics & Wellness offers CoolSculpting® Elite, one of the most advanced FDA-cleared fat-freezing treatments available in Boston, MA. Dual-applicator technology allows multiple treatment areas to be addressed efficiently, while cryolipolysis freezes and eliminates resistant fat cells without surgery or extended recovery time. We serve patients seeking body contouring in Boston, Newton, Back Bay, Cambridge, Brookline, and surrounding communities.
Patients trust Clair De Lune for personalized treatment plans, transparent pricing, and results that look and feel natural. Whether you want subtle refinement or a more sculpted silhouette, our team will design a plan tailored to your body and goals.
What Is CoolSculpting® Elite and How Does It Work?
This FDA-cleared body contouring treatment works by applying controlled cooling to stubborn fat deposits beneath the skin, causing the fat cells to crystallize and break down. The body then flushes the treated cells through its metabolic processes.
The Elite upgrade features two applicators that can be used simultaneously, allowing two areas to be treated at once. This makes treatments faster and more efficient than the original CoolSculpting® system, with improved applicator shapes that conform more precisely to body contours for better coverage and more consistent results.
Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not come back. As long as a stable weight is maintained, the results are permanent.
Abdomen
Persistent belly fat above and below the navel responds well to CoolSculpting® Elite. This is our most requested treatment area, where patients consistently see significant visible improvement.
Flanks (Love Handles)
The flanks are a common area for persistent fat accumulation that may not respond to traditional weight-loss efforts.
Inner and Outer Thighs
Both thigh areas can be treated to create leaner, more defined legs without the risk or recovery of surgical procedures.
Upper Arms
Loose or soft tissue along the upper arms can be reduced with CoolSculpting® Elite for a sleeker, more toned appearance.
Back and Bra Area
Excess fat along the upper and lower back or around the bra line responds well to targeted cryolipolysis.
Under the Chin and Jawline
Reduce submental fullness and refine the chin and jaw profile without injectables or surgery.
Underneath the Buttocks (Banana Roll)
The area directly below the glutes can be treated to create a smoother, more lifted appearance.

A full, personalized cost estimate is provided at your complimentary consultation. There are no hidden fees and no pressure to commit on the day.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Most patients see meaningful improvement after a single session per area. However, the number of treatments recommended depends on the area size, the amount of fat present, and the results you want to achieve.
One session
Suitable for smaller areas or patients who are close to their target and want subtle refinement
Two sessions
Often recommended for larger areas such as the abdomen or for patients who want a more significant reduction
Three or more sessions
May be recommended for patients with multiple areas or those who want to maximize their results over time
All recommendations are made at your consultation based on a physical assessment. We never recommend more sessions than are clinically appropriate for your goals.
Results Timeline
CoolSculpting® Elite works with your body’s natural fat elimination processes. Most patients notice progressive changes as the treated fat cells are naturally removed from their bodies over several months.
3 weeks
Initial changes may become visible as your body begins eliminating treated fat cells.
6 to 8 weeks
Fat layers begin to visibly thin, and body contouring becomes noticeably more defined.
3 months
Final results are typically visible, revealing a firmer, more sculpted physique.
Ongoing
Results are permanent for eliminated fat cells. Weight gain can affect remaining fat cells in untreated areas, so maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your outcome.
Both CoolSculpting® Elite and weight loss injections, such as semaglutide-based treatments (Ozempic®, Wegovy®), reduce body fat, but they work in fundamentally different ways and are suited to different patient profiles. Understanding the difference helps you choose the approach that is right for your body and your goals.
| CoolSculpting® Elite | Weight-loss Injections | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Freezes and permanently destroys fat cells in targeted areas | Reduces appetite and promotes overall weight loss. |
| Best for | Stubborn localized fat in specific areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs) | Patients with a higher BMI seeking overall weight reduction |
| Effect on fat cells | Permanently eliminates treated fat cells | Shrinks fat cells; does not destroy them |
| Results type | Targeted body contouring and sculpting | Overall body weight reduction |
| Downtime | None | None (injections administered weekly) |
| Lifestyle dependency | Low; results maintained with stable weight | Ongoing; weight may return if medication is discontinued |
| Ideal candidate | Near goal weight with localized fat pockets | Overweight or obese patients seeking medical weight management |
| Available at Clair De Lune | Yes | Consult with the provider |
Many patients use both approaches at different phases of their body transformation. Your Clair De Lune provider can help you build a plan that makes sense for where you are right now.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Consultation
A specialist assesses your goals and body composition to determine the ideal treatment areas and number of applicators needed.
Personalized Plan
A customized CoolSculpting® Elite treatment plan is built around your target areas and desired outcome.
Cooling Application
The applicator is positioned over the target area and delivers controlled, precise cooling to the fat layer beneath the skin. You will feel a cold sensation and mild suction, which typically subsides within the first few minutes as the area becomes numb.
Treatment Duration
Each applicator cycle takes approximately 35 to 60 minutes. Because CoolSculpting® Elite features dual applicators, two areas can be treated simultaneously, significantly reducing total session time.
No Downtime
You can return to work, exercise, or normal activities immediately following your session.
Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting® Elite?
CoolSculpting® Elite is most effective for patients who:
- Have stubborn localized fat that does not respond to diet or exercise
- Maintain a stable body weight and are generally within 10 to 20 pounds of their desired weight
- Want visible body contouring without surgery or recovery time
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking results over an extended timeline
While CoolSculpting® Elite can reduce stubborn fat in specific areas, it is not a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle. For safety reasons, treatment is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or who have certain cold-sensitive medical conditions, including cryoglobulinemia and cold agglutinin disease.
Before and After Care
Before Your Appointment:
Proper hydration and a light meal beforehand are recommended to help you feel comfortable throughout treatment

After Your Treatment:
Mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tingling in the treated area is normal and resolves within a few days to weeks
Gently massage the treated area as directed to support fat cell elimination
