Body Fat
Exercise and diet are often not enough to get the shape and look that you want. And not all body fat is due to overeating. A new procedure such as the Zeltiq procedure will help reduce bulges and remove fat cells from your body. Traditional Tumescent Liposuction is also available through Shideler Dermatology. Dr. Shideler has done in-office liposuction for 15 years and will be happy to discuss liposuction and other options during a consultation. Areas of the body suitable for liposucton and/or Zeltiq include the neck, gynecomastia in males, the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs and the inside of the knees.
What is the Zeltiq Procedure?
The Zeltiq Procedure is a new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of your body, resulting in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas.
What makes the Zeltiq Procedure different is its advanced cooling technology that targets and eliminates fat cells.
Unlike traditional invasive surgical procedures, the Zeltiq Procedure is non-invasive, with no needles and no incisions. Some of the benefits of this procedure are:
- No need for anesthesia or pain medications.
- There is no recovery time.
The procedure is performed at Shideler Dermatology and Skin Care Center, under the supervision of Dr. Shideler or one of our other physicians.
How Does the Zeltiq Procedure Work?
Early research done by world-renowned dermatologists at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, showed that fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to cold than other surrounding tissue. This scientific principle is called “Cryolipolysis™.”
During the procedure, a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of your body. When fat cells are exposed to cooling during the Zeltiq Procedure, it triggers a process of natural fat cell removal. This gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The result is a reduction in fat bulges.
What Happens to the Fat Cells?
The exposure to cooling causes the fat cells to begin a process of natural removal, which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The fat cells in the treated area are gently eliminated through the body’s normal metabolic processes, like fat from food.
How Long Until I Notice Results?
In properly selected patients, the Zeltiq Procedure results in a noticeable, measurable reduction in fat bulges in two to four months. At that time, you and your doctor can meet to assess your cosmetic improvement and consider additional Zeltiq Procedures to achieve greater fat reduction.
