If you’re researching CoolSculpting and wondering what all the buzz is about with “Elite,” this blog breaks it all down for you.
At Element Body Lab, we’ve been all-in on CoolSculpting since day one. And when the next generation of technology hit the market in 2022, we upgraded immediately. Why? Because the Elite is faster, more efficient, and more effective than the original device — and we’re committed to offering our clients the very best.
🔗 Learn how CoolSculpting Elite works
What Makes CoolSculpting Elite Different from Regular CoolSculpting?
The biggest differences? The applicators, the comfort, and the efficiency.
The Elite version uses:
- 18% larger handpieces
- That can treat up to 30% more tissue per cycle
- Dual applicators (instead of just one), which means double the areas treated in the same amount of time
Think of it like upgrading from your Nokia flip phone from middle school to the newest iPhone. Sure, both make phone calls… but only one has facial recognition, a camera that rivals a DSLR, and seamless multitasking. The Elite is just that much better.

Side-by-Side Comparison: CoolSculpting Legacy vs. CoolSculpting Elite
| Feature | CoolSculpting Legacy | CoolSculpting Elite |
| Applicator Size | Standard | 18% Larger |
| Tissue Treated | Moderate | Up to 30% More |
| Applicators Used | One at a time | Two simultaneously |
| Session Length | Longer | Shorter |

| Manufacturer Support | Phasing out | Fully supported |
Does CoolSculpting Elite Work Faster Than Traditional CoolSculpting?
Yes — both in treatment time and potentially in how quickly results are noticed.
- Larger applicators = fewer sessions for some clients
- Dual applicators = treat more areas in a single visit
- More comfortable = less downtime
While full results still develop over 6–12 weeks, many clients report feeling improvements earlier. The newer applicators use less suction, conform better to the body, and are easier on the skin.

🔗 What to expect after CoolSculpting
Is CoolSculpting Elite More Expensive Than Regular CoolSculpting?
Not at Element Body Lab.
We price our treatments by the body area, not the number of cycles. That means no surprise fees — just clear, upfront pricing whether you’re treating your abs, arms, or love handles.
Because Elite treats more tissue with greater efficiency, some clients even end up needing fewer sessions overall, which makes it a better value long-term.

Which Is More Effective: CoolSculpting or CoolSculpting Elite?
Cryolipolysis has always worked — but the newer technology takes things to the next level.
- More fat treated in each session
- Better sculpting control and contour fit
- More comfortable experience for the client
That said, the most important factor is still your provider. Technology matters, but so does the training and expertise of the person using it. The Elite is just a more advanced paintbrush — your results still depend on the artist behind it.
📍 Fast Fact: We upgraded to the Elite version in 2022 — before most providers in Dallas. That means we’ve spent years perfecting results using the latest tech.

Why We’ll Eventually Stop Saying “Elite”
Right now, the manufacturer (Allergan Aesthetics) still supports both CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite machines. But that won’t be the case for long.
Over the next few years:
- Legacy CoolSculpting machines will be phased out
- Manufacturer support for older devices will end
- CoolSculpting Elite will become the only version of CoolSculpting available
This isn’t just a branding shift — it’s because Elite offers:
- More reliable cooling delivery
- Safer treatment designs
- Better fit to natural body curves
Eventually, when every provider is using the new technology, we’ll all go back to calling it simply CoolSculpting again.
