The Zeltiq CoolSculpting procedure is a new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of the body. SkinSmart Dermatology is the first medical facility on the West Coast of Florida to offer the Zeltiq procedure!
The result of the Zeltiq CoolSculpting procedure is noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in areas like the abdomen, back
fat, and love handles. The procedure is NOT a way to lose weight or treat obesity. It works best in patients who are relatively fit, but have some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise.
What makes Zeltiq CoolSculpting different is that it uses advanced cooling technology to selectively target fat bulges and eliminate fat cells through a gradual process that does not harm the surrounding tissues. Fat bulges are visibly reduced in two to four months.
(The Zeltiq Procedure for non-invasive fat layer reduction is available on a limited basis in Canada, the European Union and other international markets. The Zeltiq device is also cleared by the FDA in the United States for various applications related to skin cooling during dermatologic treatments, with a pending application for non-invasive fat layer reduction.)

How Does Zeltiq Work?
The science behind the Zeltiq CoolSculpting Procedure, Cryolipolysis, was developed by world-renowned dermatologists of Harvard Medical School. Their research showed that fat 
cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other surrounding tissues, and that fat cells can be safely eliminated without harming the overlying skin. This scientific discovery led to the development of the non-invasive Zeltiq CoolSculpting Procedure.
How is the Procedure Performed?
The Zeltiq CoolSculpting procedure is performed with a non-invasive applicator that delivers precisely controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of your body without harming the surrounding tissues. A specially designed applicator cup uses a gentle vacuum pressure to draw tissue between the cooling panels.
Does the procedure hurt?
Zeltiq CoolSculpting procedure is comfortable for most patients. No anesthesia or pain medicine is required. Typically, patients are comfortable enough to read, work on their laptop computers, listen to their IPod, or just relax and fall asleep during the procedure. We offer personal DVD players and a selection of movies and shows.
Does it really work?
Yes! This technology has shown remarkable efficacy in early research and clinical trials and more recently has been used in clinical practice by leading specialists in aesthetic medicine with great success. Research studies show an average reduction of 22% of the fat layer with a single Zeltiq CoolSculpting treatment.
