Pure Dermatology/Dr. Mann do an excellent job keeping my skin looking refreshed and natural. I greatly respect the team's advice and suggestions and I trust their suggestions implicitly.

I had obsessively researched and combed through reviews and photos on here before finally deciding to try Coolscupting on my stubborn "mom belly", aka the area around my middle abdomen. I'm 39 yo and have two young kids-lost the pregnancy weight but developed a new "spare tire" type fat distribution around my belly button that extends out to almost my flanks/love handles. I consider myself to...

I have never met Dr. Mann, but have heard good things about her. I have only seen Elizabeth twice and within the 1st visit, she was able to cure my acne with her treatment plan. I had been seeing another dermatologist in town for YEARS, had tried at least a dozen different medications including Accutane (which did not work and gave me horrible headaches). Within 6 weeks my acne was 90% better...
A: Cryoglobulinemia and Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) are both relatively rare autoimmune disorders that are exacerbated with cold exposure. Patients with cryoglobulinemia often have symptoms that include skin lesions (lower leg ulcerations), joint pain, and peripheral neuropathy (numbness in hands and feet). Cold Agglutinin Disease causes destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) triggered by cold temperatures and leads to anemia, dizziness, fatigue, dark colored urine, jaundice, cold hands and feet, vomiting, and diarrhea. Both diseases get worse in the colder winter months and require a number of different blood tests to properly diagnose. Both tend to occur in people 50 years or older. The cold exposure associated with CoolSculpting can trigger these diseases with symptoms and complications as referenced above. It is possible, though highly unlikely, that an individual could have one of these two diseases and not yet have a diagnosis. However they would likely have a history of recurrent leg ulcers (cryoglobulinemia) or anemia in the case of Cold Agglutinin Disease.
I think you are an excellent candidate for CoolSculpting given the localized area of your fat. Liposuction is another option though it is much more invasive and can leave the area with contour defects that appear "lumpy." Good luck!
A: In my opinion, you are a good candidate for either CoolSculpting or Kybella for the double chin issue. Both are FDA approved to help reduce moderate to severe fat under the chin, also known as submental fat. Both of these procedures work well though one involves cryolipolysis (freezing the fat) and the other is performed by multiple small injections of deoxycholic acid (Kybella) into the treatment area. Individuals who do not like needles prefer CoolSculpting. Either technique is safe, dependable, and similar in cost. Your submental fat pad is relatively small and you may only need one treatment with either of these techniques. Larger fat pads often require a series of 2-3 treatments.
For the jowl area, your best results would be a combination using a dermal filler along the jawline in what we refer to as the "pre-jowl sulcus" and the use of Kybella injected into the small fat pad of the jowl itself. Again, both dermal fillers and Kybella are safe and produce good results in individuals such as yourself.
A: Hello,
It is fine to shave after your laser hair reduction treatments. I advise my patients to avoid shaving after treatment if they are experiencing any irritation in the treated areas and to wait until the irritation subsides. Shaving will not negatively affect the outcome of your results. Regards,
A: Hello, I would advise seeking out a Dermatologist in your area to properly diagnose these capillaries. Once diagnosed, their office can guide you to a Practitioner who specializes in laser treatment of the broken capillaries that are bothersome to you. There are different types of lasers that will address this condition. You may require more than one treatment initially to achieve the desired result you are looking for as well as maintenance treatments throughout the years. Regards,
A: Hello, after only one laser hair reduction treatment you shouldn't notice a significant difference in hair reduction. You may notice stubble growing back after shaving. This will growth out to normal length and go back to baseline. There is no need to worry.
