Introduction to CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting
The original CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is a breakthrough, non-invasive fat reduction procedure that uses cooling technology to noticeably eliminate fat without surgery. It is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, but it can be a non-surgical substitute for liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they would like to get rid of.

CoolSculpting® is US FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen (belly) and thigh and is proven to be a safe and effective treatment to reduce stubborn and unwanted fat. Typically, there is minimal to no downtime after the treatment.

During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or slight discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain that will later subside. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity.

Dr. Sylvia Ramirez of Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, an award-winning aesthetic clinic in Singapore, will determine if you are a good candidate and work with you to determine the best treatment plan during a one-on-one consultation.

The CoolSculpting treatment starts by marking and measuring the targeted area. The treatment is done while the patient is lying down. The CoolSculpting device is then placed on the marked area and a strong vacuum pressure gently draws tissue between the cooling panels.  As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This will soon dissipates.

Many people read, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment. The sensation is a gentle pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour later, depending on your needs, you’re done. As the procedure is completely non-surgical, you can typically return to normal activities immediately.

Is IPL Effective For Your Skin Pigmentation?

 IPL Treatment
Intense Pulsed Light [IPL] is one of the laser treatments; however, it is quite different from the others. The produced light-rays have different wavelengths that penetrate deep within the skin & provide effective treatment. The good thing about IPL treatment is that it can be used for the benefit of the skin in different ways.

IPL treatment is commonly preferred laser-light treatment because a number of skin problems can be dealt with at once. The different wavelengths are effective in the treatment of broken capillaries, age spots, and sun spots. Skin pigments can be aligned by more collagen production. Collagen is the natural protein which makes the skin elastic.

During the skin pigment treatment using IPL, the light produced is normally filtered before reaching the skin. Filtering ensures correct light wavelengths reach the skin. The type of light that the body-substances respond to is the one that is normally allowed in. Hemoglobin, blood vessels, and melanin are the substances that are mostly found in age spots. IPL treatment heats the cells that contain more hemoglobin or melanin, & terminates them.

The process does not take a day alone, it involves many hours of check-ups and exposure to the Intense
Pulsed Light. The steps that are followed include 2 to 3 sessions of treatment which are scheduled 3-weeks apart, to protect the skin, a cooling gel is normally applied, a hand-piece that is chilled is applied on the skin gently, and the deep and superficial layers are rejuvenated by applying light pulses. This process normally takes thirty minutes. During the process, do not strain yourself; for you shall be uncomfortable and it will be less effective because the laser light shall be absorbed by the melanin in the skin.


After the laser treatment, the skin becomes dry for some time and with time; it will appear to be much smoother.
