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?

Would you like a new you
in 2017? 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!
