HEALTH & WELLNESS
THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING:
LOOK GREAT IN 90-120 DAYS
Are you a Candidate for Treatment?
CoolSculpting is a wonderful option
for people who are not candidates for
surgical procedures. Even diabetics and
patients with heart conditions are able to
have CoolSculpting. I have had five heart
catheterizations and a cardiac ablation
prior to getting my double chin treated
with CoolSculpting and now I’m an
Allergan male model with impressive
before and after photos. During your
consultation, our CoolSculpting-certified
specialist will discuss your goals and
recommend the number of treatments
needed to achieve them.

I can’t stress this enough. Practice
makes perfect. When you are considering
CoolSculpting, do your homework.
The more treatments a practice has
completed, the better the results they
can offer to patients. We often help
with corrective procedures for patients complaining that
their first treatments with inexperienced technicians left them
with undesirable results. With more than 3,600 procedures
performed and four CoolSculpting machines, PureLife Medi-Spa
is consistently recognized for excellence. I’m very proud that
Tampa Bay Magazine has awarded us “Best Medi-Spa” for five
years in a row. Our CoolSculpting Specialists complete master
courses at CoolSculpting University and PureLife offers the
newest applicators for optimal body sculpting results. It also
packages a medically supervised weight loss program such
as Lipo-Plex B12 with CoolSculpting purchases for enhanced
results. 9

Since its launch in 2010,
CoolSculpting has taken the
body contouring industry by
storm. Allergan’s CoolSculpting
is currently the most popular method
on the market for noninvasive fat
reduction. The results from fat freezing
are changing the minds of naysayers one
sculpted body at a time. Many patients
who want to avoid the operating room
and still reduce fat bulges are turning
to CoolSculpting for spot reduction of
unsightly fat. The procedure requires
no needles or anesthesia with little to
no downtime. When you consider that
fat can be eliminated in as little as 35
minutes without undergoing a surgical
procedure, the results are unprecedented.
It’s no wonder pharmaceutical giant
Allergan bought CoolSculpting in its
infancy for $2.48 billion to add to its
aesthetics line.
Here’s the skinny on CoolSculpting:
Everyone is a potential candidate for CoolSculpting, especially
individuals who have stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and
exercise. You are born with a finite number of fat cells. They do
not divide after adolescence. CoolSculpting utilizes technology
that uses proprietary cooling to destroy fat cells. This treatment,
based on cryolipolysis, causes fat cells to be exposed to cold,
to crystallize and to die off. These cells can then be naturally
metabolized and eliminated from the body, allowing tissue to
return to its formerly taut appearance. Watch the fat melt away
over 90-120 days after squeezing and freezing your stubborn
areas.
To date, after more than six million CoolSculpting treatments
worldwide, people everywhere are getting a better view of
themselves. The one-of-a-kind CoolSculpting procedure is
considered to be the “gold standard” in noninvasive body
sculpting because it has been clinically proven safe and effective
time and time again. The procedure can treat the abdomen, love
handles, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, back fat and double
chins. From freezing to results in 90-120 days, it has never been
easier to transform your body.
