CoolSculpting™, an innovative technology that freezes away unwanted fat, is now available at The Skin Spa of Newnan Dermatology, making it the first practice in South Atlanta to offer this breakthrough in non-invasive fat reduction.

Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ gently cools unwanted fat cells in the body thereby inducing a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells.  Based on science developed by the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass., in the United States, this breakthrough is based on a vast body of research that demonstrates that fat cells are more susceptible to cold and are selectively, painlessly and permanently destroyed.

Starting several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called “apoptosis” and begin to shrink and disappear. The body proceeds to naturally and gradually eliminate the cooled fat cells, reducing the thickness of the fat layer.
