Cool Lipo

Cool Lipo differs from other types of laser assisted lipolysis in that it has 2 different modes... one for tightening and one for Lipo. You can either get tightening by itself or can get Lipo plus tightening. Other methods rely on just doing the lipo and getting the collagen remodeling to do the tightening. This laser does both. If one chooses the lipo plus tightening, the lipo is performed with a very small tube and afterwards a second treatment is performed with a different setting on the laser to do the tightening. If one just chooses tightening, a small tube is introduced into the skin and the tightening, without the fat removal, is performed. This is good on areas where there is just loose skin but no fat!

Cool Lipo uses a 1320 wavelengh which is safe for all skin colors and is the ideal wavelengh  for this procedure!
Cool Lipo is definitely the "lunch time lipo"

How does it work?
Cool lipo uses 2 different sizes of tubes to liquefy the fat. One is small for smaller areas (jowls, neck, male breasts (gynecomastia), knees and other small fatty areas) and a larger tube for bigger areas (stomach, arms, inner and outer thighs, back fat). The tube is moved back and forth in the skin (not in the rugged fashion associated with traditional liposuction) and the fat is liquefied. The Cool Lipo is different than other models in that it does not just rely upon this liquefying of the fat for the skin retraction but also has another mode on the laser and the skin is further tightened after the fat destruction process. Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, there are few side effects, minimal swelling and very little, if any, bruising.

Who would be a good candidate for this procedure?
If you have dieted and exercised and still have fat that has not responded, you would be a perfect candidate. Normal body weight individuals with realistic expectations are the best candidates.  

If a person doesn't have fat but wants tightening, can this be done without the lipo?
Cool Lipo is the only system that offers the dual mode! Yes, if you have no fat in an area but just want tightening, Cool Lipo is perfect for this. Areas such are chicken skin on arms or back of arms (tricep and bicep areas), inner thighs, stomach, jawline, neck and buttock droop are all areas that respond well to just tightening. No other laser lipo can do this!

How many treatments are necessary?
Usually just one Cool  liposuction treatment is necessary. Sessions last for 45 min. to 2 hours depending on how many areas and how much fat or tightening is needed.

What type of aftercare is necessary?
For jowls and neck, it is usually necessary for a head band for 24 hours. With other areas a garment is usually suggested for a week to 2 weeks. After the treatment there is basically no pain and minimal bruising. It just feels like the ache after an intense workout. 1-2 days downtime with no intense activity is suggested. You can return to work the next day if you do not have a strenuous job.

What can I expect in regards to cellulite?
There will definitely be an improvement with the lipo and with the additional tightening mode with Cool Lipo, even better effects will be seen with cellulite!

Will I see results quickly?
Results are immediate but there is a little swelling so full results are seen over several days to a few months for the total effect!

What is the cost?
Cost depends on the amount of fat, the number of areas being done, and if you want the additional tightening mode used after the laser is done. There are no anesthesia or hospital costs involved since this is done in the office.
