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

and R. Rox Anderson, MD at Massachusetts General Hospital

• 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

• 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
