Coolsculpting: Fat Reduction for a Slim Summer Look

WHAT AREAS CAN BENEFIT FROM COOLSCULPTING?

The summer season is fast approaching, leaving many of us thinking about what shape our bodies are in. Frantically, we develop a fat reduction plan for losing weight. No matter how closely we stick to our regimen, there always seems to be that last bit that defies our best efforts. You’ve done a great job, but you’re looking for help with trouble spots. That’s where CoolSculpting comes in.

WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING?

The latest advance in easy fat reduction, CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared procedure to eliminate fat. Can you believe it all started with a popsicle? Scientists at Harvard realized that the cold popsicles were actually freezing fat cells in the cheeks, and that these fat cells soon disappeared. They developed a safe and painless technology which freezes fat cells. The body then processes the fat and eliminates it, leaving you looking trim and fit. CoolSculpting can be tailored to your individual needs and is performed on an outpatient basis, making it the most convenient option out there. You can relax, surf the web on your phone, and in as little as 35 minutes the procedure is done and you’re on your way.

IS IT SAFE?

As with any new technology, you might be worried about safety. You can put your mind at rest, CoolSculpting is as safe as it is convenient. Here’s why.

It’s FDA-cleared.
It’s non-surgical.
Over 6 million procedures have been performed.

CoolSculpting is provided only by licensed professionals who have gone through training to administer the procedure. The procedure takes place in the comfort of a medical office and there’s no need for anesthesia. The cooling devices have built in sensors that will shut down automatically if your skin is getting too cold. The technology targets the fat underneath the surface, leaving your skin completely unharmed. The bottom line is that CoolSculpting is a safe and comfortable way to lose that stubborn fat that defies even the most intense workouts.

FAT REDUCTION VS. WEIGHT LOSS

Ever wonder why, after dedicating yourself to losing weight, the fat just seems to come right back? That’s because you’re not actually losing fat cells, just shrinking them. With diet and exercise, the number of fat cells in your body stays the same. Deviate from your plan and they plump right back up. That’s what makes CoolSculpting so effective. It actually eliminates the fat cells by 20 to 25 percent. You also don’t have to worry about the fat cells migrating to another part of your body. CoolSculpting eliminates the cells, leaving you looking slimmer.

AM I A CANDIDATE?

CoolSculpting is designed for people who want to lose small amounts of fat in targeted areas. Do you have any areas that you look at and say, “If I could just get rid of that little bulge?” The stomach, sides of the waist and upper arms are common areas for treatment. Now ask yourself what a new you would look like. Can you envision yourself losing an inch here or there? Then CoolSculpting might be for you. If you’ve thought about liposuction but hesitate because of the invasiveness, then CoolSculpting might be your answer.

Dr. Konsgiri and her staff can answer all your questions and determine if CoolSculpting is right for you. It’s such an easy procedure, there’s no reason to put it off. Call or contact us today to schedule a consultation. Get ready to uncover the new you!

Improved Patient Convenience with New Mobile App

visagederm — Mon, 13 Jul 2015 17:27:39 +0000

Iagnosis, the nation’s leader in online dermatology solutions, announced today that it has partnered with Visage Dermatology and Laser Center to create a mobile app, making it even easier for patients to conduct online visits for dermatological care. Visage Dermatology and Laser Center will now be able to offer online visits with a board-certified dermatologist to patients across the state of Florida using a smartphone, tablet or computer through its website link www.visagedermatology.com or the new Visage Dermatology and Laser Center mobile app – for Apple and Android devices, available for free in the iTunes App Store or the Google Play Store.

With a shortage of board-certified dermatologists in the U.S., some patients wait up to three months or longer for in-office appointments. Additionally, of the more than 100 million dermatological conditions and diseases diagnosed each year in the U.S., only 35 million are treated by board-certified dermatologists, while 65 million are treated by primary care physicians, walk-in medical providers or via over-the-counter medications.

“Our new mobile app provides patients with a very convenient way to access board-certified dermatological care online,” said Alexandria Kongsiri, MD of Visage Dermatology and Laser Center. “Patients who can’t easily make it into the office or who desire a quick diagnosis for a variety of conditions will appreciate the flexibility of an online visit.”

To use the service, patients simply visit www.visagedermatology.com or launch the mobile app to provide a brief medical history, information about their condition and upload photos. After review, the dermatologist provides a diagnosis, comprehensive treatment plan including necessary prescriptions within 24 hours on average. When medically necessary, the patient will be referred for an in-office visit.

Among the more than 3,000 conditions for which patients access the system are acne, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, shingles, melanoma and other skin cancers.

“We are excited to be working with a progressive group like Visage Dermatology and Laser Center. Their new mobile app makes it more convenient than ever for patients to access a board-certified dermatologist, especially in today’s digital age,” said Mark P. Seraly, MD, founder and chief medical officer of Iagnosis. “Kids do not have to miss school and parents will not miss work to initiate an online visit for a variety of conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, or suspicious moles.”
