CoolSculpting® is the world’s number one body sculpting procedure, so it’s not surprising that couples CoolSculpting is emerging as the hottest trend for people who want to enjoy the transformation together. Our practice is seeing a significant jump in the number of couples who desire a safe, non-surgical approach to eliminating fat for good and improving their appearance. Most want to turn back the clock and look as young as they feel, or re-ignite the spark that brought them together in the first place. If you’ve never heard about freezing the fat, CoolSculpting is based on the process of cryolipolysis, a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells. It’s basically controlled cooling to just above freezing for non-invasive localized reduction of fat. With more than 3.5 million procedures performed worldwide, CoolSculpting is rapidly becoming the preferred method for eliminating fat for good. Most importantly, it requires no needles, no surgery and no downtime for patients. CoolSculpting technology features a variety of applicators that are placed on a patient’s fatty areas. The machine’s cooling plates then crystallize lipids in the fat cells. This causes the slow collapse of the cells, resulting in cell death, called cellular apoptosis. Since fat freezes before other surrounding tissues in the body, CoolSculpting only targets fat cells in the superficial fat layer, close to the skin. The body then naturally eliminates the dead cells gradually, resulting in long-lasting reduction of stubborn fat. Patients turned away for surgical procedures are usually perfect candidates for CoolSculpting. PureLife is proud to be one of a select group of practices in the country to offer the new break-through applicator know as the CoolAdvantage. Recently redesigned for maximum results, the CoolAdvantage brings patients more effective fat reduction and faster treatments times. “We are very excited to be one of an elite group of practices in the PureLife Medi-Spa Wellness & Skincare 12442 Indian Rocks Rd., Largo FL 727.595.3400 www.PureLifeMediSpa.com EDITOR’S NOTE: Dr. G.
