Zeltiq Illinois - How Do Zeltiq Treatments Work?

Many individuals who turn to Derick Dermatology in Illinois want to rid themselves of unwanted, stubborn fat in specific areas of their body without undergoing invasive, expensive plastic surgery or liposuction. For Derick Dermatology patients, there is an alternative! One of our most popular procedures is CoolSculpting® by Zeltiq®. Known as "cryolipolysis," CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved way to rid the body of certain fat cells that accumulate in unwanted areas, such as “love handles” or around our stomachs.

Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting treatments are today’s high-tech way to eliminate fat cells permanently from our bodies. The Zeltiq machine is used on a targeted area of treatment while the patient lies on the exam table or sits in a chair. The CoolSculpting machine cools the targeted area of the body to a temperature at which fat cells are frozen and (over time) destroyed. Typically, a 20% reduction of fat is achievable over several CoolSculpting treatments.

A CoolSculpting treatment usually lasts one hour (or less) and performed without the use of needles, anesthesia, or medication. Many patients are extremely comfortable during their treatment and can read, make phone calls, or watch television all while the Zeltiq machine freezes fat cells and works its magic.

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is a great alternative to liposuction. CoolSculpting is fast, does not leave scars, and does not require anesthesia or extensive downtime afterwards. CoolSculpting is great for patients who follow active, healthy lifestyles and are unable to eliminate unwanted fat with diet and exercise alone. With just a few CoolSculpting treatments, you will see and enjoy a more beautifully sculpted body.
