HEALTH & WELLNESS MAKE YOUR COMEBACK WITH COOLSCULPTING 88 TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017 What does the treatment feel like? CoolSculpting uses applicators that attach to fatty areas with vacuum suction. Proprietary cooling plates are activated and after a few minutes the area goes completely numb. After 35-60 minutes (depending on the area and applicator), the applicator is removed and the area is massaged for two minutes. Patients typically relax and watch movies during treatments (I fell asleep while treating my goat throat double chin) and can return to their normal routine afterward. The body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the affected cells from your body over the next 12 weeks. Are the results permanent? You are born with a finite number of fat cells that do not divide after adolescence. Permanently eliminate unwanted areas of fat. Results appear as early as three weeks and the most dramatic results after one to three months. Are you ready to make your comeback this year? Had enough of those New Year’s resolutions to get fit that never seem to stick? If you’re interested in contouring areas of stubborn fat for a more toned figure, consult with PureLife Medi-Spa at (727) 595-3400 to learn if you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting.

The start of a new year is an opportunity for each of us to make changes that will increase our health, happiness and well-being. Positivity is in the air, and the roaring twenties can come back and beyond. Of course, I always recommend a healthy diet, lifestyle habits and physical activity, but I also want you to know a little secret. If you want to destroy fat for good, CoolSculpting can help…in as little as 35 minutes! It’s true, and it works. Here are some of the questions I often get asked about the world’s number one noninvasive body sculpting procedure… Does CoolSculpting really work? By now you have probably heard about CoolSculpting, the technology for freezing fat. It was developed by two Harvard physicians who invented Fraxel laser hair removal technology. CoolSculpting requires no surgery, no anesthesia, no knives, and most importantly, no downtime. It has been FDA-cleared since 2010, and can treat love handles, belly fat, inner and outer thighs, back fat, bra fat and those stubborn lumps and bumps. We’ve also seen excellent results for arm fat and for male breasts. Can I have CoolSculpting? Everyone is a potential candidate for CoolSculpting, including individuals who have stubborn fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise. It’s a great option for people who are not candidates for surgical procedures. Even diabetics and patients with heart conditions are able to have CoolSculpting. During your consultation, our CoolSculpting-certified specialist will discuss your goals and recommend the number of treatments needed to achieve them. As the only practice in Southwest Florida with four CoolSculpting machines, we are able to treat multiple areas simultaneously. This is a tremendous benefit for patients with hectic schedules. If you can squeeze it, we can freeze it!
