THE SCIENCE AND ART OF COOLSCULPTING
"With our new comprehensive and customized patient treatment plans, our patients have been ecstatic with their CoolSculpting results. In the last 3 years, our practice has seen a dramatic increase in patients requesting non-surgical body contouring, many of which are men. In my opinion, CoolSculpting should be a part of every plastic surgeon's practice" - Grant Stevens, M.D., F.A.C.S., Marina Plastic Surgery Associates
The SCIENCE of Cryolipolysis for Fat Elimination
Cryolipolysis
• Derived from two case reports– 1970 - Popsicle panniculitis1
– 1980 - Equestrian cold panniculitis2
• Key findings– Fat cells are more susceptible to cold than
Skin, Nerve, Muscle
– Possible to trigger (apoptosis) natural cell death by delivering cooling through the skin surface

2. Beacham BE, Cooper PH, Buchanan CS, Weary PE. Equestrian cold panniculitis in women. Arch
Dermatol 1980;116(9):1025–1027.
Developed from breakthrough research from Dieter Manstein, MD, PhD
and R. Rox Anderson, MD at Massachusetts General Hospital
Proven Evidence of Fat Layer Reduction1
UltrasoundPre-treatment and 3-month post-
treatment images of subcutaneous
fat showed 0.7 cm or >40%
decrease in thickness of fat layer

Gross PathologyGross pathology from the same
treatment site showed superficial
fat layer at the center of treatment
site reduced 1 cm or 50% at 90

• Each cooling cycle is 60 minutes
• The applicator contains 2 opposing cooling
panels that perform a precise energy extraction
(cold) optimized to injure only adipocytes
Post-Treatment Massage
• On average, at two months post-treatment, the fat layer reduction was 68% greater in the massaged side than in the non-massaged side

Clinical Publications
• More than 30 published
clinical papers and
abstracts
• Findings conclude:
• No rise above normal levels
for triglycerides or cholesterol
• Histologic evidence shows skin &
surrounding structures are safe
• MD observable reduction in
80% of subjects
• Overall patient satisfaction
from self-assessment“Cryolipolysis is a very low risk, no downtime procedure
that produces consistent observations of modest, gradual
fat layer reduction in properly selected patients.”

CoolSculpting Safety MechanismsThermal Coupling Gel Pad
• Unique patented formula
• Applied to the skin surface before placement of applicator
• Ensures consistent thermal contact
• Insulates skin during treatment
Freeze DetectTM Sensors and Software
• Patented technology detects changes in skin temperature
• If freeze is detected, treatment stops immediately

The ART of Treatment to Transformation
Reflecting on the Approach with Fillers Today
• With experience, physicians have changed the approach with fillers
– One syringe does not equal full correction
– Full correction can take 3+ syringes

Customized CoolSculpting® Treatments
• Wide range of CoolSculpting® applicators available
• Applicators are essential tools for customized body sculpting
Where We’ve Been: Localized Bulge Reductions
• Excellent results following our original protocols
• Single treatment in as little as one hour
• Diet and exercise-resistant fat
• Well defined fat bulges with borders
• Treat at the peak of the bulge

Treatment to Transformation
• Global body assessment of all potential treatment areas
• Customized treatment plan based on individual patient’s shapes, needs, and goals
• Set expectations upfront for follow-up visit to re-assess, re-plan and re-treat
Treatment to Transformation (T2T)
T2T is an advanced concept that allows our practices to successfully
treat patients that they may have previously turned away
• What is Treatment to Transformation?
– An advanced treatment plan focusing on enhancing CoolSculpting® outcomes
– A global approach to assessing the body; addressing all potential treatment areas
– Prescribing a sufficient number of hours in a given treatment area to achieve
desired results
– Re-assessing, re-planning, and re-treating
• Why is it important?
– It leads to more pleasing outcomes
– It’s likely to create the “wow” factor
– It results in greater patient satisfaction and word-of-mouth referrals
T2T Treatment
Plan Example
Treatment to Transformation (T2T) is an advanced
CoolSculpting® concept
• What are the risks of under-treatment?
– Can lead patients to believe that the treatment did not meet expectations
– Increased chance of demarcation or step off
– Non-cosmetically pleasing outcomes that require correction
