Dr. Duffy of BayCare Clinic's Advanced Cosmetic Solutions joined us on “Wisconsin Tonight” to discuss a "cool" option for addressing those troublesome areas proving highly resistant to diet and exercise.
It's called CoolSculpting. It's essentially a procedure that freezes fat cells for targeted fat reduction. The treatments work best for people who are near their ideal body weight but still have unwelcome pockets of fat. The procedure can help you effectively say, "goodbye" to the following problem areas:
* Love handles
* Abdomen and "muffin top"
* Back fat or "bra roll"
* Inner thighs and upper arms
How does it work?
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and crystallize or freeze fat cells in targeted areas. In the weeks and months after, the crystallized fat cells die off permanently and are naturally eliminated from the body. This technology definitely helps people slim down.
There is no surgery involved. It's FDA-cleared, safe and proven effective.
Patients can expect to see full results in about four months. The body just needs time to breakdown the fat and remove it from the body. The effects should last 10 to 15 years for people who maintain normal weight and good health.
The first few minutes may be uncomfortable, but there is no pain. Within five minutes, most patients feel comfortable enough to chat on the phone, read, or even take a short nap. There's no needle, no special diet, no supplements, and no surgery or downtime.
Almost anyone is a reasonable candidate. For some of our satisfied clients it's about reasonable expectations. Not everyone is looking to fit into a string bikini but perhaps just feel better about how they look in certain clothes. And even more importantly, about feeling better about themselves.
