Zeltiq Coolsculpting – patient satisfaction is very high

Filed under: Non-invasive body contouring — Tags: , , , , , — seattleskindoc @ 9:29 pm

I was reviewing patient satisfaction rates on RealSelf.com – the website is a patient portal for news/reviews/Q-A for cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Here is the link

Zeltiq is running a 83% patient satisfaction rate on realself.  In terms of patient satisfaction scores on Realself, Coolsculpting is tracking along with ‘Breast Augmentation’ and ‘Facelift’ – that’s pretty amazing for a non-invasive body contouring procedure. Certainly, these types of satisfaction surveys are biased toward either high or low scores (delighted or unhappy patients, but few ambivalent ones)- but reading the patient reviews, the ‘positive’ trend is really there.

Zeltiq has been in our office for about 10 months now. We are seeing nice Coolsculpting results with male ‘lovehandles’, and thin women with stubborn fatty regions along the lower abdomen and flanks. Treatments take just a couple of hours, and there is no ‘downtime’ or recovery after Coolsculpting.

Give our clinic a call and schedule a free consultation to see if Zeltiq Coolsculpting is right for you !

Zeltiq ‘Coolsculpting’ technology is now FDA approved for non-invasive fat reduction.

Filed under: Liposuction, Non-invasive body contouring — Tags: , , , — seattleskindoc @ 6:49 pm

We’ve learned from Zeltiq that their exclusive ‘Coolsculpting’ fat reduction technique is now FDA approved. We’ve been using the device in an off-label capacity for fat reduction. But now its official. Expect some marketing in the various media outlets for Coolsculpting.

To review- the Zeltiq device uses carefully controlled tissue cooling to induce a fat reduction that occurs over the course of several months. It works. I’ve treated myself (love handles) and dozens of other patients.

The ideal candidate for Zeltiq Coolsculpting is a person at their ideal body weight, with just a bit of stubborn abdominal or flank fat. The result is a very moderate reduction in fattiness.

Patients with more diffuse regions of fattiness should consider liposuction for a more comprehensive result.

There are a few other non-invasive fat reduction devices out on the market, or soon to be appearing.  Zerona, a low-level laser therapy, has been reviewed extensively. Patient satisfaction is low- only 34% of patients reviewing the treatment on Realself.com thought it was ‘worth it’. That’s lower than Obama’s approval rating!

Compare Zerona’s consumer satisfaction rate with Zeltiq- over 80% of patients reported that Zeltiq was ‘worth it’ !!

Stay tuned for more info about Zeltiq in the upcoming weeks!
