CoolSculpting is the #1 way to reduce stubborn fat without having surgery or downtime. Certified Coolsculptor, Reilly Hartman, sits down with Susan Casper on Sonoran Living to talk about why CoolSculpting differs from other fat-reduction treatments.

What is CoolSculpting?

The CoolSculpting procedure eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. CoolSculpting results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle.

Treatment areas include:

  • Flanks (hips or “muffin top”)
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Submental area (“double chin”)
  • Bra area
  • Underneath the buttocks (“banana roll”)
  • Inner thighs
  • Outer thighs (“saddle bags”)
  • Upper arms
  • Under arms
  • Knees

How is the treatment different from other fat reduction procedures?

CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to freeze that stubborn fat that just won’t budge with diet and exercise. It comes down to science. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues.

CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you. The biggest difference with Coolsculpting is that this treatment is a non-invasive procedure with little to no downtime!

How much does CoolSculpting cost?

The price of Coolsculpting all depends on what areas you want to treat and how many treatments you have. Many patients choose to do CoolSculpting on multiple areas to reach their ultimate body goals. When you meet with our Certified CoolSculpting Technician, Reilly, she will work with you to find a personalized treatment that fits your body and your budget. We also offer financing options to help you get the results you want without having to pay the full cost upfront.

What is a typical patient going to experience after they have received the CoolSculpting treatment?

Affiliated Dermatology CoolSculpting Provider, Reilly Hartman will develop a customized CoolSculpting treatment plan that addresses your problem areas. Additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your individualized treatment plan will be tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget. It’s easy to sit back, relax and say goodbye to stubborn fat. After Reilly selects the area(s) to be treated, the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied. During your procedure, you may choose to read, check email, or even take a nap.

The CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure is completely non-surgical, so you can typically return to work and normal activities immediately. You will like what you see. In the weeks and months following your procedure, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

Are you ready to love every view of you?

The sooner you set up your consultation, the sooner you’ll see results in the mirror-long-term results in those areas that have resisted all efforts through diet and exercise.

[00:00:00] Are you sick of hiding stubborn fat that just won't budge with diet and exercise?

[00:00:05] Well, if you are ready to say bye-bye to arm jiggle, jelly belly, and saddlebags,

[00:00:10] it all comes down to science.

[00:00:12] Certified cool sculpting provider, Riley Hartman from affiliated dermatology, is here to help.

[00:00:17] And cool scopting, it's been around such a long time.

[00:00:20] Why do you think it's so effective?

[00:00:22] The science is there.

[00:00:24] It works.

[00:00:24] It's been around actually 10 years.

[00:00:26] It's done all over the world.

[00:00:28] So it's tried.

[00:00:29] It's true.

[00:00:29] it's FDA cleared.

[00:00:31] I mean, it freezes and kills your fat cells.

[00:00:33] It's a permanent change to what's bothering you.

[00:00:35] So we're going to look at an animation of kind of how all of this is happening.

[00:00:38] So what is cool sculpting?

[00:00:40] And why do you feel that this particular treatment is so different than other fat reduction procedures?

[00:00:45] Some other procedures use radio frequencies and they use heat and that,

[00:00:49] you know, if you can't tolerate those temperatures, then you're not going to get the results you need.

[00:00:53] Whereas with cool sculpting, it's a very tolerable treatment.

[00:00:56] You might feel a little stinginess for a few minutes.

[00:00:58] for a few minutes initially when it first starts, but it's really easy to do.

[00:01:02] I've treated thousands and thousands of patients and, you know, you go back to real life afterwards,

[00:01:08] to be a mom, to going to work, to go to the gym, you know, whatever you need to get to your day.

[00:01:14] We asked you how many folks have you done and you said it's been thousands.

[00:01:18] And interestingly, you say that consultation when they first come in to see you, it is so critical.

[00:01:24] That's where you talk about your treatment plan, the applicators, right?

[00:01:27] Right?

[00:01:28] Exactly.

[00:01:29] Yeah.

[00:01:30] Everyone's individualized.

[00:01:31] What I would do on myself, on you, on the cameraman, if he's willing.

[00:01:34] They would all be different.

[00:01:36] Everyone's a different size, things like that.

[00:01:38] So people often ask me, how much is it going to be?

[00:01:41] How long does it take?

[00:01:42] I don't know until, honestly, I get my hot little hands on you, is what I always say.

[00:01:45] Yes.

[00:01:46] So really important.

[00:01:47] That's why consultations are free at affiliated dermatology for coal sculpting.

[00:01:50] It's so I can give you all the information and make sure it's exactly what's going to be for you.

[00:01:54] Can you walk us through the treatment?

[00:01:55] What can a patient expect at during this?

[00:01:57] experience? Well, we put the applicator on, we put a gel pad on first, that protects your skin

[00:02:02] from the colds, in case you're wondering why you don't get frostbite, that's why. And then it's going

[00:02:06] to bring on some cold, you're going to feel it. And then actually about after 8, 10 minutes,

[00:02:11] the nerves become anesthetized by the cold. So that's why you don't have discomfort like you

[00:02:16] would with, you know, heat-related, you know, fat-killing procedures, is that the nerves become

[00:02:21] anesthetized. You'd sit and watch Netflix. I literally feel cool sculpting is the original Netflix

[00:02:25] and show procedure.

[00:02:27] People bring books. They just kind of just go away. How long is a treatment?

[00:02:32] It kind of depends on how many areas. Again, that's, you know, it could be as quick as like an hour.

[00:02:36] So I've had people spend all day with me. Right. Because you can do multiple parts, body parts.

[00:02:41] Exactly. So let's look at some of those, some of those before and afters. And these results are not instant.

[00:02:47] Nope. No, no. It does take, you know, definitely a few weeks to sometimes be on to get that full end result, which again, I explain that that ever so important consultation.

[00:02:57] This is some, some love handles that have smoothed out nicely.

[00:03:00] Yeah.

[00:03:01] And will it continue well even, this is 13 weeks, but it'll go even past that a little bit?

[00:03:05] It can.

[00:03:05] I have had patients come back and tell me between month four and six.

[00:03:09] They've noticed a difference improvement.

[00:03:10] And what about doing multiple areas the same day?

[00:03:13] You said we can do that.

[00:03:15] Yeah, we can absolutely do it.

[00:03:16] You know, whatever the patient schedule allows is what I'm going to work with just to get everything done.

[00:03:22] But yeah, all of our affiliated offices, we have two machines.

[00:03:25] So my little rain joke, so I can do twice as much fat.

[00:03:27] and half the time. Right, and you aren't certified. So this is something that you know very,

[00:03:31] very well. And I know you said a lot of people call you and say, I want to talk about pricing.

[00:03:35] I want to talk about financing options. And you offer all of that at affiliated dermatology.

[00:03:39] We do. We do. When you come in for the consultation, I will be able to lay out how long it's going

[00:03:44] to be, how much it's going to cost you, things like that. We do have interest-free financing

[00:03:49] as well. So it definitely makes it easier to kind of get where you want to be in life without

[00:03:54] having to put out too much right away. Because I'm sure a lot of people,

[00:03:57] People say I should have done this a lot sooner.

[00:03:59] And a big open house you guys have coming up.

[00:04:01] Yes, we have a wonderful aesthetic open house coming on Tuesday, August 20th,

[00:04:05] and it's going to involve our injector, our fabulous injector.

[00:04:09] Trish, that's been here, our fabulous esthetician, Kenzie that has been here and me.

[00:04:13] And then we're all just, anything you want to know, aesthetic, just drop in, come see us.

[00:04:17] And you guys do multiple services.

[00:04:19] I mean, we're talking cool sculpting today, but affiliated dermatology, head-to-to-toe beauty.

[00:04:23] Oh, gosh, yeah.

[00:04:23] I mean, it is a one-stop shop because you can come in and have.
