Award-Winning CoolSculpting(R) procedure now FDA-Cleared to reduce fat

Portsmouth, NH, July 18, 2016 – Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center is excited to announce the expanded clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of visible fat bulges of bra fat, back fat and underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll). The CoolSculpting procedure is already FDA-cleared for treatment of the double chin (submental area), thigh, abdomen and love handles (flank).

Market research shows that excess body fat is a concern for 88% of U.S consumers. In fact, 69% indicate they are ‘very bothered’ by this issue.”According to recent market research, 29 million people in the U.S. market alone are interested in CoolSculpting. Of these 29 million people: 12 million believe they have excess bra fat, 11 million believe they have excess back fat, and 9 million believe they have excess fat underneath the buttocks. The CoolSculpting procedure is proven to be safe and effective with over 60 peer-reviewed clinical papers and abstracts and supported by millions of treatments performed in over 70 countries around the world.

“Many of my patients are bothered by excess localized fat”, states Dr. Lawrence Gray. “Being able to treat fat on the back, around the bra straps and underneath the buttocks with CoolSculpting is very exciting for those patients who do not want liposuction.”

NewBeauty, a recognized authority in the beauty industry, recently named the CoolSculpting procedure The Best Non-Invasive Fat Reducer in its Choice Awards’ Supercharged category, which includes products and treatments that reach next-level status thanks to their powerful blend of ingredients and cutting-edge technology. The NewBeauty Choice Awards are a collection of the best beauty products, treatments, breakthroughs and beauty innovations.

The CoolSculpting procedure results in a noticeable and measurable reduction of fat in the treated areas, and the treated fat cells are gone for good. Most patients can start to see results as soon as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results occurring over a period of one to three months. Every patient is unique, so patients are encouraged to talk to their physicians about a customized treatment plan as part of the initial consultation. Additional treatments in the same or multiple areas may enhance the desired aesthetic effect.

The CoolSculpting procedure is a non-surgical, clinically proven procedure that selectively reduces unwanted fat using a patented cooling technology. The CoolSculpting procedure is cleared by the FDA. The CoolSculpting procedure works by gently cooling targeted fat cells in the body to induce a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells without affecting surrounding tissue, and the treated fat cells are gone for good. Millions of CoolSculpting treatments have been performed by nearly 4,000 CoolSculpting systems in over 70 countries. Market research indicates up to a 95 percent customer satisfaction rate with the CoolSculpting procedure. The CoolSculpting procedure is available through an elite network of CoolSculpting Centers worldwide.
