PURE Medical Spa operates a dedicated CoolSculpting Elite programme in Chicago's Gold Coast, with a standalone web presence at coolsculptingpure.com reflecting the volume and specialisation of the clinic's body contouring work. CoolSculpting Elite is the second-generation platform from Allergan (acquired from Zeltiq Aesthetics), featuring dual applicators that allow simultaneous treatment of two areas and redesigned curved applicator shapes that improve tissue contact and increase the treatment surface area by approximately 18% per cycle versus the original CoolSculpting platform. CoolSculpting operates on the principle of cryolipolysis: the applicator draws the targeted tissue — typically a subcutaneous fat pad — between two cooling panels and reduces its temperature to a range between 0°C and -11°C, held for a controlled duration. Adipocytes (fat cells) are selectively sensitive to cold at this temperature range, undergoing apoptosis (programmed cell death) without damage to the overlying skin, nerves, or muscle tissue. Over 8–12 weeks following treatment, the body clears the apoptosed fat cells through the lymphatic system and hepatic processing, with final volume reduction visible 3 months post-treatment. Up to 20–25% reduction in the treated fat layer has been reported in clinical studies. Treatable areas at PURE include the upper and lower abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner thighs, outer thighs, knees, bra fat, upper back, lower back, and submental (chin/double chin). The dual-applicator CoolSculpting Elite system allows concurrent treatment of bilateral areas (e.g. both flanks simultaneously), reducing total appointment time for multi-area plans. Promotional pricing starts at $199 per area for qualifying applicator cycles; full treatment plans across multiple areas are typically $2,000–$4,000 depending on the number of cycles prescribed. PURE conducts a thorough body contouring consultation to assess candidate suitability — ideal candidates are at or near their goal body weight with discrete, pinchable fat deposits.
