Atlantic Plastic Surgery Finds Coolsculpting Effective Non-surgical treatment removes stubborn fat

Dr. Mark Ballentyne, Dr. Lawrence Gray and Dr. Brannon Claytor of Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center have found that patients are highly satisfied with CoolSculpting as a safe, non-invasive way to noticeably reduce localized areas of fat. Dr. Mark Ballentyne, said, “We have had this new, non-surgical treatment for a long enough period of time now that our patients are seeing their results clearly and they are quite happy. Back fat, love handles, isolated belly fat and saddlebags are responding well to Coolsculpting treatments”. Both women and men like this fat reducing treatment because it requires no needles, no cutting and has no downtime.

Dr. Gray states, “We are finding so much success with this patented cooling technology for fat reduction that we have purchased the two newest heads available. Our new flatter head accesses a greater amount tissue the selected area, such as the abdomen, which may have previously required more than one treatment. The second new head has a better curve for fat reduction on the hips.

Dr. Claytor reports that, “Many people exercise and follow a healthy diet, yet have persistent areas of fat. People who are good candidates for Coolsculpting treatment have a generally healthy weight with a body mass index of less than 30, but have at least an inch of pinch-able fat. I always emphasize the importance of a healthy and active life style, but the vast majority of people who inquire about Coolsculpting have specific areas of fat that have troubled them for a long time.

Coolsculpting has shown significant results in clinical studies for removing fat without the potential risks of damage to nearby tissues. Approved by the FDA, this cool technology is based on a large body of research that has shown that fat cells are more susceptible to cold and can be selectively and permanently destroyed. This new Coolsculpting technique of freezing fat is pain-free and reduces fat bulges by as much as 20-25%.

CoolSculpting works by gently cooling unwanted fat cells in the body, bringing about a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells. One to two months after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin the process in which the cells begin to shrink and are reabsorbed into the body through the lymphatic system. Approximately two to four months after the coolsculpting treatment, patients begin to notice significant results in the treated areas. The body continues to naturally and gradually eliminate the cooled fat cells, reducing the thickness of the fat layer.
