Losing weight, but still have trouble spots? Try CoolSculpting!

You get enough sleep, eat your vegetables and exercise on a regular basis. You’re proud of the diligence you undertake in caring for your body, and it shows! However, you still catch yourself looking back in the mirror, annoyed that your dedicated regimen has done nothing to shrink your love handles or to help you lose that last 10 pounds. You may think that surgery is your only option, but think again! Skip liposuction and other invasive surgical procedures and try CoolSculpting, an effective, non-surgical alternative.

What is it?

CoolSculpting technology is the only revolutionary, FDA-cleared method to reshape body contours. Available to both men and women, the procedure uses controlled cooling to target and kill stubborn fat cells, requiring no downtime and providing proven and long-term results. It literally freezes away those unwanted fat cells in as little as a single outpatient treatment.

How does it work?

After observing children who developed dimples from eating popsicles, Harvard University scientists Dieter Manstein, M.D., and R. Rox Anderson, M.D., developed a theory that turned into reality: Cold can selectively eliminate fat cells. This technology works by bringing the sub-dermal layer of fat to sub-zero temperatures, effectively targeting and eliminating unwanted fat cells. In the weeks following the procedure, the affected cells are naturally eliminated from the body. The procedure can be completed relatively quickly, in a lunch hour or other personal time, without any required downtime or missed work.

Who is it for?

The ideal CoolSculpting candidate has struggled with certain problem areas, in which pockets of fat resist change from diet and exercise. Common problem areas are “muffin tops,” “saddle-bags,” the inner thighs or any other area in which fat refuses to budge. CoolSculpting can give you the look you’ve wanted for years!

What are the risks?

After the simple procedure, some mild side effects may occur. Candidates may experience temporary numbness, swelling, redness, tingling, bruising and mild pain. In rare cases, as with any health procedure, there can be more serious side effects. It’s important to discuss the procedure with your doctor.
