A new national survey of dermatologic surgeons (ASDS ) reveals fat-freezing is the most popular among body sculpting options. Dr. Richard Buckley discusses the appeal of today’s hottest fat-freezing approach, CoolSculpting.
Milford, PA – May 06, 2016
Fat-Freezing, which is what today’s popular technology CoolSculpting does to reduce fat areas around the body, is the most popular among body sculpting options, according to a new survey of dermatologic surgeons. The survey results just released make perfect sense to cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richard Buckley, medical director of MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center. Dr. Buckley recently added two CoolSculpting machines to his Milford, Penn., practice because of high patient demand for a non-invasive body sculpting option to liposuction.
“All indications are that CoolSculpting is hot. Recent RealSelf ratings give CoolSculpting an 83 percent ‘worth it’ rating, which is a strong showing for a fairly new technology,” Dr. Buckley says. “Patients want results without the downtime, and CoolSculpting offers just that.” Billed the world’s #1 non-invasive fat-reduction procedure, by parent company Zeltiq, CoolSculpting allows physicians, including Dr. Buckley, to contour body areas by freezing unwanted fat without any surgery involved. Doctors need not make incisions to gain access to the fat.
In fact, “fat-freezing” made up 100,000 of the reported 230,000 body sculpting procedures that members of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) reported doing in the new 2015 survey results. The next most popular body sculpting option, according to the ASDS survey, is radiofrequency at 66,000, followed by tumescent liposuction and laser lipolysis.
As the CoolSculpting story goes, Harvard University scientists noticed years ago that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. These researchers and physicians soon realized that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells. They created and trademarked Cryolipolysis, which is focused on eliminating areas of fat cells by freezing them. The treated fat cells crystallized and died and the body responded by naturally eliminating the dead cells.
