ThermaLipo vs. CoolSculpting: What’s Right For You?

You’re eager to slim down for the summer – but there are certain pockets of fat that just aren’t responding to all your diet and exercise. No matter how hard you work out, you just can’t seem to get rid of those extra bulges and rolls. It’s enough to make you want to stay inside and cover up for the rest of summer.

Fortunately, Nowak Aesthetics of San Diego, CA is here to save your summer with two new body contouring treatments: ThermaLipo and CoolSculpting. One is a treatment that combines liposuction techniques that minimizes bruising and swelling; the other is a non-invasive procedure that freezes and destroys fat cells.

But which procedure is right for you?

The Benefits of ThermaLipo

Meet one of the most powerful ways to shape and contour your body – without requiring incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia. ThermaLipo combines tumescent liposuction with Thermage skin tightening to produce dramatic contoured results after just one treatment.

ThermaLipo works by using a water solution to break up fat deposits in the treatment area(don’t worry – it’s not painful!). This is different from traditional liposuction procedures, which use brute force to break up fat. After the liposuction procedure, Thermage technology is used to gently heat the dermis, creating a skin-tightening effect while boosting collagen production. Benefits of ThermaLipo include:

• No need for general anesthesia or sedation – only a local anesthesia is used on the treatment area;

• Shorter recovery times, with less bruising and blood loss; and

• Smoother, more controlled results.

ThermaLipo is a great option for patients who have a significant amount of body fat they’d like to be removed.

The Advantages of CoolSculpting

Got a few rolls and bulges that are keeping you from that skimpy summer dress? CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved body contouring treatment that freezes and destroys fat cells, resulting in a slimmer appearance. There are no incisions required, as the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells.

CoolSculpting is perfect for patients battling stubborn rolls and bulges. Benefits of CoolSculpting include:
• No incisions or stitches – it’s a non-invasive procedure;

• Comfortable procedure – many patients nap or read a book;

• Excellent patient satisfaction ratings.
