were the first physicians in the mid-Atlantic and DC Metro area to offer CoolSculpting by

Zeltiq™, a revolutionary, non-invasive way to eliminate unwanted fat bulges. In fact, the

Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery participated in the first clinical studies

that led to the FDA-approval of the device. As one of the first practices to use CoolSculpting

by Zeltiq™ in the world, we have the experience to deliver safe and effective results.

dermatologists at Harvard Medical School. Their research demonstrated that fat cells are

naturally more sensitive to the effects of cold. By using advanced tissue cooling technology,

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq™ can destroy fat cells through a controlled cooling process leaving

the surrounding tissues unharmed. In clinical research performed at the Washington Institute of

Dermatologic Laser Surgery, Drs. Alster, Tanzi, and MacGregor have shown that, for properly

selected patients, the Zeltiq procedure resulted in a noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction

in targeted areas without the need for needles, incisions, anesthesia, or recovery-time. After a

virtually painless procedure, clinical improvement is evident within 2 to 4 months. Additional

treatments can be performed to attain additional fat destruction. After the treatment, normal

activities can be resumed immediately-- there is no recovery time. Fat reduction with no cutting, no needles, and no recovery? How cool is THAT?
