Weight loss vs Fat loss


Struggling to lose those "Love Handles"?

Noone loves them. They are only the distant cousin to the despised "Funny Bone" that we all no isn't funny at all. Did you know that the number of fat cells in our bodies typically becomes a fixed number sometime in our teenage years? Losing or gaining weight generally does not increase or decrease the number of fat cells. No wonder getting in shape is so hard.

With weight loss, it is the size of fat cells simply change. With CoolSculpting - the world’s #1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment - fat cells are frozen, die and then are permanently eliminated from the body. The latest CoolSculpting technology offered at The Preserve Med Spa & Wellness can treat a patient in as little as 35 minutes! Our patients see an average of 20-25% reduction of fat in a single treatment. It is clinically proven to be safe and with a patented built-in safety feature, is the only cold-based, non-surgical body contouring treatment cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. CoolSculpting requires no surgery, no needles, no anesthesia and little to no downtime, and it is an alternative to invasive liposuction procedures. With little to no down time, results can be seen as early as three weeks, with peak results seen 1-3 month after treatment. It's easy to see why more than six million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed in more than 80 countries worldwide. Sound like magic? There is nothing but science behind it.

Researchers from Harvard University, Drs. Dieter Manstein and R. Rox Anderson, began to study popsicle panniculitis after reading a case in the New England Journal of Medicine - a case of which children developed dimples and loss of subcutaneous fat after eating popsicles. Their research resulted in Cryolipolysis, the proven science behind CoolSculpting treatments. CoolSculpting works because the fat cells are frozen and destroyed without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. These fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body via the lymphatic system. Fellow researchers and doctors have published more than 100 clinical publications on this FDA-cleared fat reduction treatment. After many years of research, you can feel confident that the CoolSculpting treatment is safe and based on sound science.

Total transformation, body and all!

If you want to lose unwanted fat and look slimmer in your clothes, then CoolSculpting may be right for you. CoolSculpting has the ability to contour specific areas of the body, for both men and women. It is truly a one-of-a-kind treatment that can help reduce those pesky pockets of fat and obnoxious bulges that seem resistant to a healthy lifestyle and exercise. It is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in eight areas, including: abdomen, flank, submental (chin), bra fat, back fat, upper arm, thigh and underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll).

Debra Messing is an actress, mother and spokesperson who has partnered with CoolSculpting because she knows that the FDA-cleared treatment has proven results. After experiencing results herself, she can easily answer, "Yes," when asked, "does CoolSculpting work?"

CoolSculpting patients have expressed that they get more than just a physical transformation from the treatment. When you like the way you look, love how your clothes fit, and feel more confident in your own skin, your outlook on life can change.

For Debra, CoolSculpting is all about empowerment and confidence. Like most of us, she has areas on her body she would like to "smooth out." She knows that maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle are vital while managing her busy schedule, and loves CoolSculpting because it is specially designed for those who desire a solution for unwanted fat with no downtime. Debra found that CoolSculpting was a proven, safe and effective treatment that froze away her unwanted fat. She did CoolSculpting for the same reason she makes healthy diet choices, she wants to feel better about herself.

"I am proud of my body and I work hard to maintain a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, but let's face it, everyone has those stubborn areas that resist all of your hard work," explained actress Debra Messing, the Global Brand Ambassador for CoolSculpting. “It’s wonderful when you can find something that makes you feel confident. That is absolutely what CoolSculpting has done for me.”
