Coolsculpting by Zeltiq is an amazing non-surgical technique, which basically freezes your fat. The theory behind Coolsculpting is it utilizes what's called the principle of Popsicle panniculitis. Meaning that, it freezes your fat. They observed small children who were eating popsicles and over a period of time, while they were eating the popsicles, the buccal mucosa, which is the fat pocket inside their mouth, got frozen and was temporarily diminished. They realized based on those principles that actually fat could be frozen. They've adapted that technology into something that can permanently freeze your fat. The best patients are patients who are physically fit. It is not a weight loss device. It is designed for patients who have been exercising and dieting, but they have a bulge either in their abdomen, their love handles or their buttocks that they can't seem to get rid of. That's the perfect patient for Zeltiq. You come into the office and you tell me which area you're unhappy with, either the abdomen, the thighs, the buttocks, the love handles and we mark and measure those areas. We then fit the adapter to that given area and you'll feel a suction when the adapter is applied to your skin. The first few moments, four or five minutes, you'll feel some tugging, you'll feel the suction of the machine. It'll feel a tiny bit uncomfortable, but within five or six minutes, you're completely froze in that area. You won't feel anything. Most patients bring their iPad, bring their work, text, call people on the phone; you can do whatever you want during that hour. If you're doing one area... Say the abdomen, you'll be here for one hour. If you're doing the flanks, which is two sides, or you're doing your buttocks , which is two sides, you'll need two hours. Traditionally, I tell patients to come for an hour and a half for a given area so that we can mark them, we take before and after photographs, and make sure that they're massaged at least five minutes after the procedure. Then, you can resume normal activity. If you go to the gym everyday, you can go back to the gym the same day. Zeltiq is amazing in the sense that it works on everyone. It will freeze the fat in a given area by twenty percent. It takes about three to four months to see that area diminish. It's not a weight loss device, but what patients normally note is that their pant size has decreased maybe by a size or two sizes depending on the inch or two that you lost from that twenty percent of the fat. I've had so many patients who've been so happy with the one procedure, that they've come back three or four months later to do not only a second area, but sometimes to repeat that same area because they want even more definition. If they do it twice, they'll get forty percent of the fat frozen in a given area, so they have remarkable results. I know that patients really love it because they come back to do another area, or they've sent their friends to get it done.
