Dreaming of Summer 2.0- Body - Appalachian Spring Dermatology

Week Three: Get Your Body Ready

Are you dreaming of Looking Good This Summer? COOLSCULPTING is the answer!

I must admit that when I first heard about CoolSculpting years ago at a conference, I was a bit skeptical. Could it really work and provide results? Would patients be satisfied and happy?

So, for years now, I have been waiting in the wings, watching, and waiting some more for the dust to settle. The answer to all my questions seemed to be yes! CoolSculpting is a well-researched and proven effective procedure with over 6 million treatments done to date.

Once I started to look closer, my next question was, is there anything else that could provide a similar result? When considering the efficacy, safety, simplicity, lack of downtime, minimal discomfort, and minimal risk that CoolSculpting provides, nothing else really compared. I have tried a few other devices and procedures over time, but none compared on paper. So, I went and had it done! I went to one of my friends, a dermatologist in Huntington, who I greatly trust. I had my dreaded inner thighs treated first. Wow! I quickly decided that Coolsculpting was not only great on paper but in practice as well.

So, we started performing Coolsculpting procedures at Appalachian Spring Dermatology! We have not one but TWO machines so that we can treat both sides at the same time, often referred to as “dual-sculpting.” I have now treated my abdomen and flanks as well. I am so excited!

Here are the questions I am commonly asked:

Does it really work? Yes. The scientific evidence is great, and many before and after pictures tell a great story!

Does it hurt? Not really. It is uncomfortable for the first few minutes until the area is frozen. It is also uncomfortable in the last few minutes when the treated area is massaged. Otherwise, it really is a piece of cake.

Will I lose weight? No. Fat does not weigh very much.

What if I gain weight? Weight will likely be gained in untreated areas only.

What happens to the fat? It is eliminated naturally. The fat cells simply die.

Will it work for me? I recommend anyone interested in CoolSculpting have a consultation first. At the consultation, we can assess your needs and desires and provide an individualized plan. But, a simple answer is that it treats pinchable fat on the chin, arms, flanks, back, abdomen, and thighs.

Who does the procedure at the office? The treatments will be done by our trained staff, including an RN. All staff doing the procedure have undergone extensive training and certification. In most cases, Dr. Rosenberger will not be performing the procedure but will be on-site for supervision.

Are there ever any specials? Glad you asked! Pricing is somewhat fixed by CoolSculpting; however, the parent company Allergan often offers specials through their rewards program Brilliant Distinctions. Right now, they are offering $500 off when you purchase six cycles or more. ADDITIONALLY, and for a limited time, we are offering a deal unique to Appalachian Spring Dermatology: BUY THREE CYCLES AND GET ONE FREE. So, when you combine these offers (which you can!), you’ll get $2,000 off on CoolSculpting!
