You are obviously one of the million people who search for Coolsculpting each month. You can do that procedure at almost a hundred places in NY. Everyone shows their best result so obviously, the top picture is the one in 3 million best result of coolsculpting. Thats how many treatments they claim and it’s the first picture they show on their website. They are proud of it. I think it’s lumpy and I know you can do better with a different nonsurgical method that’s been around for 15 years and the secret of Hollywood and wealthy people. The second picture is a before and after of Thermage. That only gets a few thousand searches every month but celebrities like Gwyneith Paltrow Demi Moore and Jennifer Aniston to name a few have admitted thats their go to treatment and actually millions more you can google that yourself. But Thermage is still relatively a secret, they dont advertise and they only gets a few thousand searches every month because the top doctors that have thousands of wealthy and famous clients are who Thermage quietly advertises to. So I apologize but not really because I am going to be honest about them both. And I am even going to give you a third alternative which I think is better. So coolsculpting, no surprise, freezes the fat. The fat cells die and in about two months you will see the results. But most people need 2 to three treatments, So now you are waiting 6 months. Then you find out if you need another treatment ( most do 2 or three) and if you are lumpy. Many doctors who offer coolsculpting do a Thermage treatment immediately afterwards because they know if you just kill fat cells you’re going to wind up with actually more loose skin. Its kind of logical if you think about it, so where is the savings ? More importantly be suspicious of doctors that dont offer a skin tightening treatment like Thermage or Exilis to help with the loose skin that just removing the fat creates. If you read Aesthetic Magazine ( where doctors publish research, the top doctors who offer Coolsculpting explain they offer Thermage or another smoothing treatment even on the same day). Thermage on the other hand create an immediate contraction of the collagen layer which holds back the fat. On the television show The Doctors they showed that they measured 5 inches immediately right off the table not 5 months later, and the side effects of Thermage is smoother tighter skin. So it’s almost the opposite of Coolsculpting and you must really read the side effects of coolsculpting on the next page or just look up hyperplasty. I directly copied the side effects from their website where you can see them and they are downright scary. Finally I want to talk to you about Exilis because Exilis is FDA approved for nonsurgical fat reduction in the US and is the most popular treatment in Europe and on the next few pages I’ll show you before and Afters of that as well. Exilis is the treatment that I would recommend to my best friend. Its incredibly popular in Europe and the first one was brought to NY by Precision Aesthetics in 2010. PS I don’t blame you with $50 million worth of advertising I am seriously considering buying coolscultping myself. Even one of my best friends wife who is a nurse got sucked in by the advertising it’s only been a few weeks for her I hope she doesn’t come out lumpy which she will not know for at least two or three months when the frozen fat cells die and then have more loose skin a few months later. Most people do not lose weight and there is a lot of excitement with the Coolsculpting people because it seems like your body starts depositing fat cells elsewhere so now you need to do treatments on other parts of your body which is great if you are a Doctor looking for a continuing cash flow. You have to realize this treatment has only been popular for only a few years. There is a reason why the leading edge technology is sometimes called the bleeding edge. I honestly hope that none of their side effects or the horrible negative reviews I have read on RealSelf are indicative of what happens to many people. But the point is there are safer (Thermage 15 years) More effective (Exilis FDA approved for nonsurgical fat reduction) treatments. And the results are even quicker. Thermage right off the table with continuing results for up to 6 months. Exilis 4 weeks for the face and 6 weeks for the body vs 2 months in between each treatment with coolsculpting. And Coolsculpting does absolutely nothing for the all important collagen layer, whereas Radiofrequency devices like Thermage and Exilis tighten loose, saggy skin, improves texture and even cellulite. Yes Coolsculpting kills fat cells, but do you really want to find out 6 months from now that you are like the skin of a sausage that just had its fat removed ? We are constantly treating people for lumps bumps and loose skin from lipo, and coolsculpting. Its actually a great new source of income for our practice. I wish I had less integrity so I could buy one and get some of the million people a month who are convinced from the advertising and the sheer number of people who are doing the treatment. But seriously to treat someone with a procedure that has only been on the market a few years with potential side effect list like we have never seen before and that will force them to not only have another treatment to smooth their skin but potentially more treatments because fat deposits elsewhere is immoral. Plus patients arent stupid. If i say you want to do this one ? It only takes 4 to 6 months for results,, if all goes well you will have more loose skin and then I am going to charge to do this other one ? They are going to say just give me the other one. Get it ? Most people I speak to already figured it out and have no interest in Coolsculpting.
