For patients who want to get rid of stubborn body fat without resorting to plastic surgery, CoolSculpting Newcastle may be the solution you are looking for. Non-invasive fat removal has been growing in popularity for years. New advancements in the field of fat freezing have finally made it possible to remove pockets of fat when diet or exercise have only taken you so far in your weight loss journey. CoolSculpting may also be an option for patients who want to refine and contour small areas of the body after weight loss.

What is fat freezing?

CoolSculpting is a medical device that is clinically proven to reduce fat. It works by using cold hand-pieces placed on the skin surface that target and destroy target fat cells. Over the next few months, your body flushes away the dead fat cells naturally. The dead fat is gradually excreted by the liver. Most patients notice visible results within the first three months after treatment. Repeat treatments can be done for even better results and faster fat removal. It’s truly remarkable to see the before and after results from patients who have tried non-invasive fat reduction.

Benefits of fat freezing

Fat freezing with CoolSculpting in Newcastle is an attractive alternative to surgery or liposuction for many reasons. It is a safe, affordable, non-invasive procedure that is the perfect solution for men and women who do not wish to go under the knife. Whether due to the expense, pain and downtime that is associated with cosmetic surgery, there are many reasons why patients are seeking non-invasive alternatives to remove unwanted body fat. There is no need to take time off work, and no need for prescription painkillers. In fact, most patients resume normal activities or go back to work the same day.

CoolSculpting was the leader for more than 10 years, but new technology leaves CoolSculpting in the dust

CoolSculpting has earned a reputation around the world. It’s true that fat freezing technology has changed the way we look at non-surgical fat loss in many ways, opening doors we never thought possible a few decades ago.

However, there is a new revolution in non-invasive fat reduction today. TruSculpt ID, or fat melting. is the preferred treatment for many reasons. TruSculpt ID is vastly superior to CoolSculpting because it uses soothing heat to kill up to 24% of treated fat cells in just two 15-minute sessions. That is much faster and just as effective as CoolSculpting, minus the uncomfortable cold feeling. It’s even TGA and FDA-approved for fat loss. Click here to learn more about TruSculpt ID.

Trusculpt iD the next generation in non invasive fat reduction. FDA & TGA approved for up to 24% reduction in fat. With one 15 min pain free treatment.

CoolSculpting makes reducing body fat easy

It is recommended that patients reach a stable weight prior to CoolSculpting treatments. However, patients with stubborn body fat know that sometimes diet and exercise is not enough. Almost everyone has trouble spots that seem to accumulate fat no matter how hard they try to get rid of it. It is frustrating to see that despite all your hard work, there are some small areas of fat that never seem to fully go away.

With CoolSculpting Newcastle, all you need to do is sit or lie back on a comfortable treatment table and let the technician do all the work. In about one hour or so (depending on the size of the treatment area), you will be out the door and back to your daily life. In just a few short months, the fat will reduce in the target area, giving you the beautiful, slim, smooth body contours you have always wanted — all without lifting a finger or counting calories!

What body parts can CoolSculpting treat?

CoolSculpting is designed to treat a variety of problem areas nearly anywhere on the body. Almost anywhere you can grab a pinch or bulge of fat can be treated. Patients love the versatility of the CoolSculpting device for this reason.

So, which areas of the body can CoolSculpting treat? The love handles, belly fat, double chin, muffin top, chest, bra bulge, back fat, inner thighs, outer thighs and back of arms are some of the most common treatment areas.

What is CoolSculpting treatment like?

When you come in for a CoolSculpting treatment in Newcastle, the appointment should start with an assessment to determine which body part(s) are of concern to you. During the consultation, you can discuss your goals with the CoolSculpting technician. Pricing can vary depending on how many sessions are needed, along with how many areas you want treated.

The technician will guide you through what to expect during treatment and ensure that you are comfortable before beginning.

The areas that you wish to have treated will be marked before the procedure starts. You will sit or lie back on the treatment table, and the CoolSculpting provider will place the roll of fat between two cold hand-pieces. The machine is switched on, and you will feel vacuum-like pressure on the treatment area.

Aside from being cold, the sensation can feel a bit unusual at first. There may be some discomfort as you get used to the feeling of the hand-pieces. For most patients, this is not painful. Rather, it is more like a feeling of pressure. It may feel strange, especially the first time you have it done.

Any discomfort usually passes quickly, as the cold sensation will numb the skin slightly. Don’t worry though. The CoolSculpting machine won’t freeze your skin or cause frostbite. Instead, the coldness is designed to pass through the skin, freezing and killing fat cells alone.

Once the CoolSculpting machine is turned off, the technician may massage the areas treated. This helps achieves a smooth result. It is normal for the skin to appear pink or red afterward. Mild bruising, temporary numbness and swelling is also possible.

Treatment time varies depending on the size of the target area. Most treatments take about one hour to complete. When it is over, you may experience mild soreness. Most patients can get right back to their normal activities of daily living. There is no downtime with CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting results take time. Visible results can be seen in most patients within the first twelve weeks. Repeat treatments may be needed to get the desired result. Most patients return for 2-3 sessions.

More than 6 million treatments have been performed

Fat freezing has exploded in popularity since the early 2000s. Today, CoolSculpting is the leading non-surgical fat reduction procedure in the world. And it’s not a gimmick. CoolSculpting Newcastle is FDA approved and TGA approved to work. Millions of patients across the globe have seen the incredible results of fat removal with fat freezing technology. You could be next!

Non invasive fat reduction is a medical procedure in which patients can remove fat cells without going under the knife. The two most popular options are CoolSculpting and TruSculpt ID, both of which are FDA-approved fat removal devices.

The promise of laying back on a comfy treatment table while a doctor or clinician uses a machine to remove body fat with almost no pain, minimal discomfort and few side effects may seem too good to be true, but the fact is the best non invasive fat reduction devices do just that.

 Why try non-surgical fat reduction?

Skipping cosmetic surgery in favor of non-surgical options like TruSculpt ID has many benefits, such as:

  • No downtime
  • Minimal side effects
  • Safe and well tolerated
  • No need to take off work
  • Little to no pain during treatment
  • Easy and convenient
  • Affordable cost
  • Proven safety with fewer serious risks than lipo and surgery
  • FDA and TGA approved
  • Beautiful and permanent results without surgery

What’s the catch?

Non-surgical fat removal using FDA-approved devices has impressive results, tons of benefits and few risks. However, there are some limitations you should know about up front.

Non-invasive fat reduction is not a substitute for diet and exercise. Rather, it’s best to reach a stable weight before booking the appointment for fat melting or fat freezing. If you want to lose weight, do so before coming in to put the finishing touches on your dream body with fat reduction technology.

The treatment is best for men and women who want to remove small pockets of stubborn fat. A pinch of fat here, a small bulge of fat there — that’s what non-invasive fat reduction is designed to treat. Nearly anywhere on the body can be treated.

Keep in mind fat freezing and fat melting won’t give dramatic results like weight loss surgery, liposuction or a tummy tuck. TruSculpt ID patients ideally have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. Yet for patients who only have a small amount of fat that’s bothering them, the results are impressive. It can feel like a huge victory to say goodbye to small areas of fat like a bra bulge, muffin top, a handful of belly fat or pudgy inner thighs.

Patients with pacemakers, defibrillators, tumors or damaged skin at the treatment site, or certain kinds of metal implants might not be able to get treated.

Pregnant and nursing women are also advised against it, along with a laundry list of other cosmetic treatments they shouldn’t get (think hitting the hair salon for highlights or sitting in a nail salon with the smell of acetone lingering in the air).

That doesn’t mean fat reduction technology can harm the baby. To date, no medical studies have proven a link between harming the baby and non-invasive fat reduction. It’s just a matter of being cautious and erring on the safe side since many of these are newer technologies that need more time on their side to prove longterm safety.

The results of treatment are permanent. However, it won’t stop you from gaining new fat cells if you eat too many calories and don’t get enough exercise in the future. On the up side, treatments are affordable compared to invasive fat removal. Therefore, you can always book another appointment for a touch up in the future, if needed.

Learn about the latest non-invasive fat reduction technology

The weight loss market is massive, no pun intended. Aside from eating healthy and hitting the gym, there is no shortage of online fitness gurus, weight loss gimmicks, home exercise equipment and fad diets that promise to get rid of body fat fast. While some of these products and services are legitimate and can really help patients shed the pounds, others are hocus pocus to get you to part from your hard-earned money.

Yet there is hope for getting rid of stubborn fat virtually anywhere on the body that you can grab a pinch of fat. Non-Invasive fat reduction is perfect for that. The technology is always evolving. Today, we will discuss two of the most popular cosmetic fat reduction techniques that patients are booking appointments for in order to slim down.

TruSculpt ID is a new fat loss machine that boasts incredible results, while CoolSculpting continues to be a mainstay of cosmetic fat reduction, although the technology is older.

TruSculpt ID is the hot new way to melt fat fast

TruSculpt ID is the latest technology to remove stubborn fat in as little as 15 minutes. Heat is used to break down fat cells without harming underlying tissue and organs. It is TGA and FDA approved for lipolysis, which is the medical term for breaking down fat cells.

How does TruSculpt work?

TruSculpt ID uses heat to kill fat cells. Using heat administered with radiofrequency energy, it works by destroying fat cells. Then, the liver removes the dead fat cells from the body over a period of 1 to 4 months after treatment.

Nearly any area that has extra fat can be treated. During the procedure, the patient lies on a treatment table while small handheld pieces (about 8×8 cm or 3×3 inches) are placed on the target areas. Due to the convenient size of the handheld pieces, even small areas like the neck or double chin can be treated. Each device comes with 6 paddles, so larger areas with fat deposits like the love handles are no problem.

The device is then powered on and you will feel a warming heat sensation. Nearly 25% of fat cells in the treated area die the very same day as treatment, according to the device’s manufacturer, Cutera. Talk about fast!

It takes about 3 months for those cells to be removed from the body by the liver. Just 1 to 2 treatments are enough for most patients to see visible effects. Fast, easy, comfortable and effective — it’s no wonder patients are loving the results they get from TruSculpt ID.

How fast will I see TruSculpt results?

Is TruSculpt effective? The results from TruSculpt ID are no doubt impressive. But it is important to understand that results are not instant. It takes a few months for the liver to flush out the fat cells that were killed during treatment. Most patients notice full results about 3 months after treatment, but you may notice a difference as soon as 4 weeks later.

That time can vary from patient to patient since every person is unique. Not everyone’s liver works at the same speed, so this is normal. That is one big reason you’ll see some patients online talking about getting results quickly, while others take longer to see the effects.

TruSculpt side effects

TruSculpt ID is safe and effective, but temporary side effects are common after treatment. Usually, these side effects last up to a few hours. These includes:

  • Mild discomfort
  • Temporary skin redness
  • Skin warmth
  • Sweating during treatment

CoolSculpting was the cool way to get skinny before TruSculpt came along

CoolSculpt was once a pioneer in non invasive fat reduction procedures. Back then, CoolSculpting was on the lips of some of the best aesthetic clinics in the world.

Well, today things have changed. The technology has gotten better (ahem, thanks to TruSculpt ID), with less discomfort during treatment and fewer reported side effects than CoolSculpt. Still, freezing fat with cryolipolysis was truly revolutionary. The devices were expensive to buy, and they do work. That is why many clinics still offer CoolSculpting services today.

How does CoolSculpting work?

Fat freezing works by killing fat cells with frigid temperatures. Cold paddles are placed on the skin at the treatment site, and the technology goes to work freezing and killing fat cells to reduce fat in the treatment site. The paddles use controlled cooling so the skin doesn’t freeze. Instead, they target fat cells alone. Patients will feel a very cold sensation from the paddles, however.

Depending on the size of the treatment area, it can take about 1 to 2 hours for treatments to be completed. Meanwhile, TruSculpt ID gets the treatment done in about 15 minutes.

Like TruSculpt, not every single fat cell treated will die. But a lot of them will, and that gives patients visible fat freezing results. Over a period of several months, the dead fat cells are eventually flushed out of the body by the liver.

Similar to TruSculpt ID, the process of flushing out the dead fat cells killed by CoolSculpting takes the liver some time. Therefore, results aren’t instant. Most patients notice full effects in 3 months on average, some faster or slower than others since every patient is unique.

CoolSculpting side effects

Almost anyone can get CoolSculpting done to remove fat. But is CoolSculpting safe? As with any cosmetic procedure, there are some side effects, most of which are mild and temporary. The most common side effects are:

  • Mild to moderate discomfort
  • Temporary skin redness
  • Cold skin during treatment
  • Skin redness
  • Tingling sensation
  • Bruising, which should subside in about 2 weeks

TruSculpt & CoolScupting vs. liposuction

Fat freezing and fat melting technology work to get rid of fat, but they won’t have results as dramatic as invasive fat removal options like liposuction or surgery. Non-invasive fat removal is great for patients who don’t want the pain, cost and downtime associated with more aggressive procedures.

Not everyone can afford the cost of surgery. A big part of that fee is the anesthetist fee. Going under the knife or having liposuction done requires sedation. That is one reason why liposuction costs more than non-invasive fat reduction, which doesn’t require anesthesia.

Unlike liposuction, non-invasive treatments work over the skin. This causes little to no tissue damage because both devices use technology to bypass the skin layer and target fat cells alone. With TruSculpt, the device is self regulating to administer heat deep into fat cells without harming nearby tissue and organs at all, nor overheating the skin. The CoolSculpting paddles work in a similar way, using controlled cooling to target fat cells. While the skin feels very cold during treatment, it won’t freeze the skin itself.

Liposuction is aggressive by comparison. It works below the skin layer to access the fatty tissue in the subcutaneous fat layer. The fat is broken down and then manually removed with suction. Tissue damage occurs almost by definition. While lipo removes much more fat in a single treatment than either TruSculpt ID or CoolSculpting can, liposuction has more side effects like swelling that can take months to go away. You’ll also need to take time off work to heal from lipo.

If you are interested in lipo, VASER liposculpture is a more modern alternative that uses advanced technology and gentler suction to cause less tissue damage while removing the same, if not more, fat than traditional liposuction. Dr. Bernard Beldholm loves VASER, and his patients do, too. You can learn more about VASER here.

What other non-surgical fat reduction options are there?

Now that you know the two best ways to get rid of stubborn fat, you may wonder if you can get rid of fat with unapproved home fat removal devices or other treatments like fat reduction injections.

How can I remove fat at home with fat reduction technology?

While researching how to get rid of fat without diet and exercise, you may have come across home fat reduction devices for sale online.

These devices promise to reduce body fat without leaving the comfort of home. While it sounds convenient, are the results worth it? That’s debatable. From a medical standpoint, no home fat reduction devices have been approved by the TGA or FDA for fat reduction. Not only do they not work, but they have not been tested for safety. Don’t gamble with your health. Experimenting with medical devices at home can be dangerous.

The best thing you can do at home to reduce fat is dieting and exercising. If diet and exercise are failing to get the results you want but you don’t want liposuction, TruSculpt ID with fat melting technology is the best choice, according to Doctor Bernard at Specialist Skin Solutions.

Don’t try CoolSculpting at home

DIY CoolSculpting made an appearance on the internet, and that is truly unfortunate because the results can be scary. Home “CoolSculpting” had some pretty foolish internet users attempting to use ice cubes to freeze fat. There is no evidence to support using ice cubes to get rid of fat, plain and simple. Doing so freezes skin and not much else. That is, if you’re lucky. You can do serious harm to your skin or even end up damaging skin severely, enough to need medical care. Frostbite, pain, numbness and permanent tissue death are all possible.

DIY “CoolSculpting” is dangerous, won’t work and is definitely not something you should try at home.

Real CoolSculpting at a medical office is very different than using ice cubes. The paddles are regulated to prevent skin from freezing and they target fat cells exclusively.

Get rid of double chin with cosmetic injectables

While TruSculpt ID can treat a double chin, some patients choose fat reduction injections instead for this area. Injectable deoxycholic acid is a non-surgical double chin treatment that is FDA approved. This cosmetic injectable works by administering deoxycholic acid (also known as cholanoic acid) into the skin with a needle. This natural and safe substance is found naturally in the human body.

According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, it breaks down fat cells on contact, without migrating to nearby areas. Multiple injection points are made in the chin. Treatment causes little discomfort as local anesthetic is often used. It usually takes about 20 minutes per session, and 2 to 4 treatments (at 1 month intervals) may be needed for best results.

Side effects are typically mild and temporary. Mild swelling and numbness, redness at the injection site and bruising may occur. Serious side effects are less common. These include facial weakness and prolonged numbness, which are rare but possible. When this occurs, it usually resolves itself without needing medical attention. However, you should tell your doctor if these symptoms occur.

Note that this is the only FDA-approved injectable for fat reduction. This substance is only approved for double chin injections.

Summary

Fat melting technology offers many benefits compared to older fat freezing technology, such as quicker sessions and more comfortable treatments. While neither of these fat-busting solutions will remove as much fat as liposuction or body contouring surgery, the best non invasive fat reduction devices are an easy, fast and affordable way to remove small pockets of fat nearly anywhere on the body.

Would you like to remove fat on certain areas of the body without hitting the gym or getting  cosmetic surgery? If you’re interested in non-surgical fat reduction, you have probably heard about CoolSculpting or fat freezing.

So, is CoolSculpting effective? Freezing fat with CoolSculpting is FDA approved to work. Clinical trials have shown that the treatment removes up to 20% of fat cells in the treated area. Patients across the world have seen impressive results since the early 2000s, and the device continues to be popular today.

Let’s talk about the company’s history to discover more about who invented CoolSculpting, the leading fat freezing technology in the world.

Coolsculpting

How does CoolSculpting work?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved medical device that destroys fat cells with a process called cryolipolysis. It works by positioning a section of fatty skin between two cold paddles that work below the skin surface to freeze fat cells without harming skin, thanks to controlled cooling. It takes about 30 minutes for the device per area to work.

Once the fat cells freeze, they die permanently. Over the next few months, the dead cells are flushed from the body by the liver. As the cells are excreted, the treated area will appear slimmer, giving patients more thin and defined body contours.

The device is designed for body contouring, and is not meant for general weight loss. It works best to refine stubborn trouble spots that the patient cannot get rid of, particularly when diet and exercise have failed to give the desired result.

What areas can be treated with fat freezing?

Many areas of the body can have CoolSculpting treatments done to reduce fat in the treated area. Virtually anywhere you can grab a roll of fat, the procedure can treat. There are some exceptions, which we’ll talk about in the next section.

Upper arms

The upper arms are a body part that is known to store excess fat. The sides and back of arms can be a real trouble spot, especially for women since they tend to have less arm muscle than men. You don’t have to be overweight to have pudgy arms. In fact, even thin women may have a jiggle of skin as they hold their arm out to wave hello. CoolSculpting can easily treat this area, giving remarkable results in about 3 months.

Tummy

Putting on a few pounds almost always shows on the tummy first. Belly fat can be hard to get rid of. Whether it’s a small pinch of skin or a jelly roll, CoolSculpting works to treat stubborn belly fat. The roll of fat will be placed between two cold paddles and in less than an hour, the treatment is done. Full effects take a few months to see.

Flanks aka “love handles”

Many men and women store fat in the flanks. The flanks are on the side of the body, located between the lower rib cage and hip. It is also known as the lumbar region, or “love handles”. Many patients with love handles would love to see them go away for good. Hips store fat more than other areas of the body, so unfortunately it’s a common problem.

Working out and eating right can help you lose fat all over, but the love handles may have stubborn fat that just won’t go away no matter what you do. The pinch of fat on the side of the body near the hip bone can cause “muffin top”. That is a roll of fat that bulges out along the waist line, usually when wearing tight pants. CoolSculpting love handles makes the hips look thinner and more attractive.

Back fat

Back fat can affect anyone. The back covers a large area, so it’s no surprise that fatty tissue stores up easily here. For women, their choice of clothing and undergarments can make back fat more obvious.

Many women of all ages complain of “bra bulge”. That happens because bras are designed to fit snugly in order to give support to the breasts. The bra band digs into skin as a result. Even thin patients can have bra bulge. It is easy to spot under tight clothing or shirts made of thin materials. Many women are self conscious about it and seek CoolSculpting treatment for this area.

Knees

Everyone wants long, lean legs. Knee fat gets in the way of that. Knee fat can be unsightly and make walking uncomfortable. Knees rubbing together when you walk can cause skin irritation and chafing. Fat knees are also a problem from an aesthetic standpoint. Many patients interested in fat reduction would love to have less fat on their knees. Wearing long pants all year to cover up the knee area is not always practical, especially in the summer heat. CoolSculpting can help treat knee fat.

Inner thigh fat

If you have knee fat, it’s almost a certainty that inner thigh fat goes along with it. Thighs cover a large area. There is a lot of adipose tissue in the thighs. For people who work a desk job all day, thick thighs can seem to grow bigger by the day. Genetics also play a role in inner thigh fat. For these patients, no matter how much they diet or exercise, fat thighs never seem to go away. Fat freezing is perfect for slimmer thighs by treating the inner thigh area.

Outer thighs

Outer thigh fat can be caused by aging, weight gain and genetics. Women are more likely to have outer thigh fat than men since women’s bodies have a different distribution of fat. Luckily, CoolSculpting can help. CoolSculpting thighs makes the outer thighs look thinner, giving patients a big boost in confidence and more attractive legs.

Saddle bags

Also known as “banana rolls”, the area where the buttocks meets the top of the thigh is prone to weight gain and sagging skin. This causes a crescent-shaped area of fat located just below the buttocks. Aging, genetics, weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle are all contributing factors. CoolSculpting saddle bags can slim the area, though repeat treatments will likely be needed to achieve the desired result.

What areas can’t be treated with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting can’t treat small areas like the neck or a double chin. That is because the paddles are simply too large to position such a small area of fat between them. It is unfortunate because many women who have a double chin would do anything to make it go away. A double chin is commonly caused by aging and genetics. It can be a real blow to the patient’s self confidence, not to mention making the patient look older than he or she really is.

However, newer fat-melting technology like TruSculpt ID works well on small areas like the neck with ease. That’s because TruSculpt has smaller paddles that can treat large and small areas alike. Unlike fat freezing, TruSculpt uses fat melting to kill fat cells permanently with gentle heat. Fat melting is a good alternative for patients who do not wish to have a neck lift, neck liposuction or cosmetic injectables for double chin.

Heavy upper eyelids is another small area that CoolSculpting can’t treat. Over time, the skin below the brow can droop and sag. In severe cases, sagging brows can causes a hooded eyelid. That is when part of the upper eyelid is covered by hanging skin. Patients with sagging brows look old and tired, no matter how much sleep they got the night before.

Severe hooded eyelids can be dangerous. It can even cause accidents when driving or walking since the hanging skin may partially block the patient’s peripheral vision. Most patients with drooping brows simply want to look better.

Unfortunately, CoolSculpting won’t work on such a small and delicate area. There are better alternatives, however. A brow lift (aka blepharoplasty) can make eyes appear fresher and more awake for a more youthful appearance.

Coolsculpting

Who invented CoolSculpting?

Zeltiq Aesthetics is a leader in fat freezing technology. The company created CoolSculpting to help patients lose unwanted fat with non-surgical body contouring. Known as cryolipolysis, this is the medical term for killing fat cells with extreme cold temperatures. Zeltiq is the maker of CoolSculpting, one of the biggest revolutions in non-surgical fat reduction to date.

What is CoolSculpting?

While today there are newer and more modern fat-busting technologies that improve upon CoolSculpting in many ways, CoolSculpting earned a prestigious reputation by pioneering the field of non-invasive fat reduction. The company certainly deserves recognition for its achievements. CoolSculpting and newer alternatives are popular for removing fat without surgery in as little as 3 months.

How Zeltiq got its start

Zeltiq is best known for its developing the world’s most popular fat freeing technology, CoolSculpting.

It all began in 2005 when the company was founded as Juniper Medical by Mitchell Levinson. Levinson is considered Zeltiq Aesthetics’ founder. He was previously the head of Thermage, a cosmetic technology company that created skin tightening devices powered by radio frequency. In 2005, he introduced a new company called Juniper Medical.

In 2007, Juniper Medical changed its name to Zeltiq Aesthetics. Its work on developing fat freezing technology was the first of its kind.

Zeltiq is now a subsidiary of Allergan, which acquired the company in 2017. Many people know Allergan as a household name. It is a company that specializes in aesthetic medical devices and some of the world’s most popular cosmetic injectables.

Meet Dr. Anderson and Dr. Manstein, who invented CoolSculpting

Dr. Richard Rox Anderson, Dr. Dieter Manstein and their colleagues at Juniper Medical developed and licensed CoolSculpting, a non-invasive medical device for permanent fat removal that uses extreme cold temperatures to freeze and permanently destroy fat cells.

Dr. Anderson is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Medical School, a dermatologist and an entrepreneur. Dr. Manstein of Massachusetts General Hospital graduated from the University of Munster in Germany. Maintain is a dermatologist with a special interest in emerging technology. In addition to their work on CoolSculpting, the pair also also helped develop Fraxel skin rejuvenation.

While CoolSculpting is known as a fat removal device, that’s not how it started. In 2009, the team at Juniper Medical created a freezing device prototype that was clinically tested on pigs to numb the skin with cold temperatures prior to dermatological procedures. This was to be developed as an alternative to topical anesthetics for reducing pain during minimally-invasive procedures.

The team quickly noticed that the device worked well for fat removal as well,. They soon switched gears and began talking about their new fat-freezing device in the media. The device was the first of its kind to use selective cryolipolysis for targeting fat cells alone. The team worked on improving the device and submitted it to clinical trials. Finally, CoolSculpting was born.

Doctors around the world began purchasing the machine for “off label” body contouring use to reduce stubborn fat in certain parts of the body. The company raised a reported $75 million in sales by 2010.

The CoolSculpting investors were determined to prove the device’s effectiveness. In September 2010, CoolSculpting received FDA approval for fat removal on the love handles. In 2012, it was approved for use on belly fat. Patients around the world were loving the results. It became popular in the United States in 2011, the same year the company went public.

The inventors of the CoolSculpting procedure did not rest. They continued improving the technology further. In 2014, they introduced a new version that used suction cups rather than paddles, which the FDA approved for use on inner thigh fat. As a leader in non-invasive fat removal, Allergan purchased Zeltiq for a reported $2.48 billion.

About Zeltiq today

Zeltiq’s headquarters are based in Pleasanton, California. The current CEO is Mark J. Foley, who has held the position since August 2012. Zeltiq Aesthetics is still owned by Allergan. Today, Zeltiq continues to manufacture and sell CoolSculpting devices worldwide.

Trusculpt iD the next generation in non invasive fat reduction. FDA & TGA approved for up to 24% reduction in fat. With one 15 min pain free treatment.
