Patients are willing to wait a few months for the result because there is no down time and no recovery time; the fat melts away naturally as patients get on with their daily lives.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 17, 2011
Dr. Gerald Pitman is a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, specializing in liposuction. He is announcing the recent implementation of the latest surgery-free alternative to liposuction known as Zeltiq Coolsculpting™. Dr. Pitman says this cutting-edge technology requires no surgery, no needles, and no anesthesia; instead, the Zeltiq method allows body contouring by targeting fat cells with extreme cold in a procedure that lasts only one hour.
Dr. Pitman says one treatment with Zeltiq Coolsculpting™ can remove up to 20% of the fat from the treated area. While this is less than the amount of fat that can be removed with traditional liposuction, Dr. Pitman says multiple treatments with Coolsculpting can achieve results equivalent to surgery. “Patients like Coolscupting because it removes fat without any surgery.”
Zeltiq allows specific targeting of fat because fat is more sensitive to cold than other tissue. Dr. Pitman says the intense cold applied to the fat causes the fatty tissue to gradually die. After the procedure, the fat is removed by the body’s natural cleansing mechanism for removing non-functioning tissue. The fat gradually disappears over 2-4 months. According to Dr. Pitman, “Patients are willing to wait a few months for the result because there is no down time and no recovery time; the fat melts away naturally as patients get on with their daily lives.”
