Zeltiq™ Body Contouring
Choosing Zeltiq™
Discover Zeltiq™, a new Sacramento area fat reduction alternative. There are many body contouring methods available, the vast majority of which involve surgery. Among these procedures, Zeltiq stands out as a completely non-surgical body contouring method. Our Sacramento patients come in for a simple office visit, with no anesthesia or incisions, and are on their way to firmer, more sculpted body contours.
With unique technology called Cryolipolysis™, the Zeltiq device destroys fat cells through a controlled cooling process. The outside skin and surrounding tissues remain unharmed. Your improvements appear gradually within 2 to 4 months as the treated fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body.
Candidates for Zeltiq
Like liposuction, Zeltiq is not designed to be a weight loss method; it is appropriate for adults who are at or near their ideal body weight. Zeltiq is an effective, non-surgical way to reduce specific areas of unwanted fat, such as love handles or a belly bulge, that remain in spite of a healthy diet and consistent exercise program.
Talk to Your Plastic Surgeon
During your consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will ask you about the areas you'd like to reduce and then determine whether Zeltiq can treat the areas effectively. You can also find out about the tradeoffs between Zeltiq and liposuction (for example, liposuction provides more significant results immediately, but also involves incisions, anesthesia, and recovery time). If you are interested, you can learn about the many cosmetic procedures we perform including tummy tucks and breast augmentation.
Recovery
Because Zeltiq does not involve anesthesia or incisions, there is no required recovery period. You may have some initial redness and mild bruising after the procedure, but you won't need to restrict your regular activities after treatment.
For more information about this liposuction alternative in Sacramento, request a cosmetic consultation online with Dr. Kaufman or Dr. Clark. You can also call our office to learn more about special summer pricing packages.
