Treatment Options
For patients who want help removing stubborn areas of fat that are difficult to control with diet and exercise, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego utilizes a number of effective fat-eliminating technique to help patients achieve a physique they’ll love.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is a non-invasive way to remove unwanted excess fat without ever undergoing surgery. Using a patented technology known as Cryolipolysis, this treatment works to freeze stubborn fat cells, ultimately resulting in their death and natural expulsion from the body.
A typical CoolSculpting treatment in San Diego may last anywhere from 1-3 hours during which time the patient must remain seated and hooked up to the machine. However, you will be free to read, work on a laptop, or even sleep during this time. The best results from CoolSculpting are usually appreciated after two treatments, though it is very possible to notice a reduction in fat only a couple of months out of treatment number one. CoolSculpting in San Diego is an ideal treatment for individuals who are looking to reduce a small amount of fat in the stomach, love handles, and back.
Liposculpture
For patients seeking a more drastic fat reduction, liposculpture in San Diego may be the best treatment. Our team of world-renowned dermatologists are experts in the performance of minimally-invasive liposculpture, meaning we use the latest and greatest technology to provide patients with a quick and easy procedure with minimal downtime.
If you’re unfamiliar with liposculpture, the main difference between this and liposuction is the type of tool used to complete the procedure. In liposculpture, a cannula is used, which is very thin and allows the doctor to remove fat and sculpt the area being treated for a very natural appearance. Liposculpture can address all of the same areas as liposuction, including:
- Love Handles
- Hips
- Abs
- Calves
- Back
- Arms
- Neck & Jowls
- Buttocks
CoolTone
CoolTone is the newest FDA-approved addition to the Allergan portfolio. It can be added to fat reduction treatments to further optimize results. CoolTone focuses on electromagnetic muscle stimulation to tone, firm, and strengthen muscles in the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- (Beneficial effects on other areas are presently under investigation)
