ZeltiQ/ FREEZING FAT

Zeltiq

Zeltiq is a new way of sculpting. It works by the mechanism of "FREEZING FAT"
* in the old days, women used to go out horseback riding in the cold weather and the inner thigh areas would be indented in losing the fat there
* some children got dimples due to eating popsicles. The idea that cold on selective fat can affect fat cells and this developed the insight behind CRYOLIPOLYSIS

Unfortunately, we all have stubborn fat. No matter how healthy we eat, or how many crunches we do(not that I do any) or how much beer we cut back on, there are areas that don't respond to these drastic changes.
With coolsculpting, the problematic area of fat is sucked into a hand piece thats attached to a machine. The machine delivers COLD temperature to the area. Mind you that there are two sizes of handpieces. A large which works on areas like the lower tummy, or the small which helps with lovehandles, upper abdomen, inner thighs, and backfat. The machine sucks the area in for one hour making the skin cold enough that after 7 minutes in, your NUMB!
The idea is that about 25% of the fat cells die with the cold. At the end of the session the machine gives you a little massage in the area which helps break down the fat cells even more.

This is one hour per area. Before pictures are taken from all different angles
No downtime, no cutting, no scars, no wound care, and no risks!
Price @ my office is Large: $1250.00 and Small $750.
We have packages that can save you some money when you need more than one treatment.

I had this done on a little bulge on my upper abdomen. The feeling is a little uncomfortable. You feel like you can't catch your breath, until the provider tells you to breath in and out and then you relax. The nice things is that while hyou have the machine attacted, you can be reading, sleeping, watching a movie etc.
Once the hour is up, the machine lets go of the suction and someone massages down your skin which ends up looking like a "stick of butter" LITERALLY.
The skin is red and sometimes a little bruised which really looks like a big hicky.
The only bad part is that this can sometimes be annoying afterwards because it feels numb and the tingling INSIDE of the area makes you feel wierd.

The results are not immediate. AT our office we have patient's follow up 2.5 months later and do the after pictures.

I was very happy with my results. I can not have another treatment done in the same area because there is nothing to pinch

Have in mind that not everyone is a candidate for this procedure. It is not a weightloss procedure but meant for people who are at their ideal body weight that just need help CONTOURING the bumps. Look at it as not having to wear SPANX anymore.
Zeltiq was on national TV on Dr. Oz and Oprah. We were the first office in Tucson AZ to have this machine and have had alot of success stories.


Not only am i a firm believer in Zeltiq, but I was lucky enough to be trained to use the machine and be the operator.
