Get Beach Body ready with CoolSculpting and Cooltone:

Advanced Options for Facial Contouring

Beach season is on the horizon…..but you’re in luck, WDC has some great options for helping you look and feel your best in your bathing suits!

There are some truly amazing options when it comes to treatments for the body, with major advancements in recent years. One of our patients’ favorites is the latest evolution of CoolSculpting®, CoolSculpting® Elite. Providing the ability to achieve better results sooner AND with the ability to treat multiple areas at the same time. CoolSculpting® Elite harnesses proven CoolSculpting® technology to target, freeze, and eliminate treated fat cells. It uses controlled cooling to target and kill these fat cells, after which they’re eliminated through the body’s natural processes. CoolSculpting® Elite is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in nine areas of the body including the inner and outer thigh, abdomen, and flank, along with bra fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll), upper arm, and the submental area under the chin. The procedure time varies on the area and number of applicators needed for an efficient treatment but can be as little time as 35 minutes. While you may be a little swollen and tender to the touch, there is no real downtime after the procedure allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately after.

The results for CoolSculpting® Elite take about three months to see results, so schedule your appointment ahead of bathing suit season!

One of the best kept secrets is CoolTone™ by Coolsculpting. CoolTone™ body contouring by the makers of CoolSculpting® offers individuals a treatment that strengthens, lifts, and defines the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. It uses magnetic muscle stimulation technology, or MMS, to penetrate through the skin and fat layers to target only the muscle layer. MMS uses an electromagnetic field to stimulate your “fast-twitch” muscles, causing them to contract, which strengthens the muscle fibers and leads to a more toned appearance. CoolTone™ works to strengthen these muscles and therefore works best for patients who are already in shape, but are looking for a little extra definition, not a weight loss solution. Just as your muscle definition will fade if you stop working out for a few weeks, CoolTone™ requires maintenance! The initial treatment is usually two sessions per week for two weeks, and the frequency of your maintenance sessions afterward will be determined by your treatment plan and goals.

These two amazing body contouring procedures are also used for combination therapy in order to give you the best results possible. Your treatment plan may consist of a Coolsculpting treatment to eliminate some excess fat to an area, followed by CoolTone™ to strengthen and tone the area post CoolSculpting®. Our cosmetic team is some of the most experienced in the surrounding area, ensuring you have the most results-driven treatment plan available.

There is almost an endless list of options to help you look and feel your best for the warm weather attire! Let us help you meet your goals starting with a no-cost consultation and trust your results to the leading cosmetic providers in the region!
