As a
board-certified dermatologist I practice both general and cosmetic dermatology From general skincare and skin cancer
surveillance, to non-surgical cosmetic procedures, we offer a multitude of
services for all ages. One of my favorite procedures is one that works
phenomenally, and yet it seems to stay under-the-radar: CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting is
a non-surgical fat reduction procedure. Performed right here in my office, this
procedure is non-invasive. It is so easy that people come in on their lunch
breaks for treatments and return to work! This treatment permanently kills fat
cells on areas of the body where people do not want fat bulges, such as the
abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, and back. This treatment changes people’s
lives. The most amazing thing about CoolSculpting, however, is how quickly it
improves the self-confidence of my patients. People struggle with weight loss
and body image for years and CoolSculpting improves their attitude almost
instantly. In 8-12 weeks a reduction of inches is seen at the treated sites.
Patients are
always surprised at how well CoolSculpting works for them. I am often told that
people are able to wear bikinis for the first time since they had children,
when they were too embarrassed previously. Men tell me that their clothes fit
better and that they can pull their belt loop a notch tighter. They are often
so impressed that they refer their spouses, their friends, neighbors…everyone!
CoolSculpting is
not a surgical treatment. There are no needles or down time. It does not make
you gain more weight in other areas of the body, as many have noticed about
liposuction. CoolSculpting is the only FDA-approved fat reduction treatment.
