“He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!”We all know the famous poem describing Santa as a chubby and plump old elf, but when you look in the mirror do you really want your belly shaking like a bowl full of jelly?
This holiday season, unwrap a whole new you. Now it’s easy to get rid of the love handles, muffin top and other unwanted bulges comfortably, conveniently and naturally. The process is called CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ.™ and I am proud to be the only dermatologist in South Carolina offering the service. It’s the “cool” way to effectively and permanently reduce fat.
Unlike traditional invasive surgical procedures, Zeltiq is an FDA cleared technology that uses no needles and there is no need for surgical incisions, anesthesia or pain medication. During the procedure, our patients rest comfortably as a non-invasive applicator is applied to the skin surface. This delivers precisely controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of the body.
Most people ask, ‘Well if you’re freezing fat, then why can’t I just put a 20-lb bag of ice on my muffin top?’, however, Zeltiq is not actually freezing the fat but taking away the energy from the fat cell, causing it to die over a period of 2-4 months. It crystalizes the lipids in the fat cells causing the slow breakdown of the cells and then is released through your body’s normal metabolic processes.
The CoolSculpting procedure is comfortable for most patients; they can read, work on their laptop computer, listen to music or just relax. Most patients typically resume their routine activities, including returning to work and exercise regimens on the same day as the procedure.
