The Naficy Rejuvenation Center received the Zeltiq cryolipolysis device a couple of days ago. We’ve got it set up, and did our first consult and treatment today.
The cryolipolysis concept is simple: when fatty tissues are cooled to a critical temperature, selective death of fat cells is induced. The overlying skin and connective tissue remains perfused and viable. Several weeks later, there is a significant reduction in fat content within the treated area. No incisions are required. No anesthesia is required. The treatment takes about one hour. Most patients require two treatment cycles to contour the abdomen, love handle or back roll areas.
The non-invasive body contouring space is really going to explode in the next couple of years. There are some other emerging technologies, including highly focused ultrasound (HIFU) devices, which are also effective. There are issues with all of these devices. We’re excited about Zeltiq because of its demonstrated efficacy and zero down-time.
The great thing about the addition of Zeltiq to our clinic is that we are predominantly a SURGICAL practice. Which means that if you are not a good candidate for Zeltiq (too much fat, fatty regions other than belly/flanks/back) then we have a terrific alternative for you: liposuction, tummy tuck etc.
Call the clinic 425-450-0880 and schedule a consult with me. Visit www.seattleface.com and check out some before and after photos.
