THE COOLEST SOLUTION
TO ONE OF LIFE’S
STUBBORN PROBLEMS
State-of-the-art applicators with
proprietary cooling technology can
treat areas including upper arms,
bra fat, belly fat, outer thighs, inner
thighs and love handles. A specialized
mini-applicator treats double chins. To
date, CoolSculpting boasts more than
seven million treatments world wide.
It’s considered the “gold standard” in
non-surgical body contouring. In fact,
Allergan, the manufacturer of Botox,
purchased the patents for CoolSculpting
for $2.48 billion.
Since results from the procedure are
gradual, PureLife Medi-Spa offers a
complimentary weight loss program
in combination with CoolSculpting. An
eight-week detoxifying B12 LipoPlex

By Dr. Joseph Fitzgerald
Medi-Spa can treat multiple areas simultaneously with four
machines. This is a time-saving benefit to patients with multiple
problem areas and busy schedules.
Let’s face it, over time we all start to lose the battle with age
and gravity. Even people who diet and exercise regularly have
areas of fat they just can’t seem to lose. Instead of committing
to those same old resolutions that you never keep, get your
complimentary consultation to see if CoolSculpting is the
answer for which you’ve been looking. It’s your turn to do
something…for you! Call (727) 595-3400 or visit purelifemedispa.

As we start off 2019 with
motivation to tackle those
resolutions, I want to remind
you that by March, those
resolutions have typically fallen to the
wayside. Of course as a physician, I
strongly urge you to lose that extra
weight with a comprehensive exercise
regimen and to cut back the saturated
fats and alcohol. However, the reality
is that most people give up after a few
weeks and resort back to their old habits.
Time and time again my patients have
set lofty personal goals and are left
feeling badly after they still can’t fit
into their clothes. My advice? Never
give up, and take advantage of science.
Perhaps it’s time to think outside the
box. As Tampa Bay’s premier medical
spa, PureLife Medi-Spa’s CoolSculpting
can eliminate fat in problem areas with long-lasting results,
offering patients a simple and effective way to slim down
gradually without diet and exercise. Eliminate that double
chin, muffin top, love handles and upper arm fat in as little as
35 minutes. The best part? The treatment requires no needles,
no surgery and little to no downtime.
But how does it work? CoolSculpting technology crystallizes
lipids in fat cells through the process of cryolipolysis. This
crystallization of lipids causes the slow collapse of the fat
cells and results in cell death, called cellular apoptosis. Since
fat freezes before other surrounding tissues in the body,
CoolSculpting only targets the fat cells in the superficial fat
layer, close to the skin. The body’s lymphatic system naturally
eliminates the dead cells gradually over a 60-90 day period,
resulting in a reduction of fat in the problem areas we hate.
