Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Offers CoolSculpting at Charlotte Practice

April 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology is offering the new non-surgical CoolSculpting procedure to treat stubborn back fat, love handles and isolated belly fat.  The FDA-cleared procedure uses a targeted cooling process that eliminates about 20 percent of treated fat cells through cold damage and causes a natural elimination of the cells while leaving your overlying skin untouched.  Results are not immediately visible, but within a few months, the full effects of the CoolSculpting treatment will be realized in the form of a flatter stomach and trimmer waistline based on your treatment site.  

This is one of the most effective non-surgical and painless treatments for reducing stubborn belly fat that can be done in one hour-long treatment with no downtime.  Over three to four months, the patient will see improvement as the body gradually eliminates the cooled fat cells, thus reducing the thickness of the fat later around the treated area.  

“There are constant advances in cosmetic surgery and we love to stay abreast of effective, safe and non-invasive treatments and procedures,” said Dr. Tonya McLeod of Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology in Charlotte.  “The results are quite amazing!  Unlike any other non-invasive procedures that treat fat, CoolSculpting results can be found in one treatment and the results will remain stable long-term with a healthy diet and regular exercise.”

A complimentary consultation is required to ensure CoolSculpting is the right treatment for a patient.  Appointments can be made by calling Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology’s Charlotte practice at (704) 542-2220.  For more information, visit www.ppsd.com.
