New Procedure Offers Non-Surgical Option for Weight Loss by Marcie Fraser YNN 9 News

A major difference between men and women is the rate at which they gain weight, and the location where weight is gained. "I do have some trouble spots I am not proud of," said one patient. "The love handles they will not go away no matter how much they exercise and it's very typical and in men that fat maybe a little different because it's firmer and more persistent," explained Dr. Alain Polynice, a Williams Plastic Surgery specialist. No matter how healthy you eat, or how much you exercise, some men will not get rid of that spare tire. This particular patient didn't want to take time off of work, so he opted for a non surgical approach to lose that body fat. It's called cool sculpting, which simply freezes fat. "It applies cold energy directed toward the fat without damaging the skin. When you freeze fat to a certain temperature some of the fat cells, in this case 20 to 25% of them will undergo accelerated cell death, that means they will actually die and then your body will clear out them naturally," said Polynice. Once the areas are marked, the patient lies down, a protective sheath with gel is placed is adhered to the skin, next the vacuum like machine sucks in the fat and the freezing process beings. After the one hour session, the area is massaged and your free to go unless you have other areas treated. "The ideal person is someone who does has trouble spots; lower tummy, love handles and inner thighs," said Polynice. Although the procedure is relatively safe, there are some people who are not candidates. People with hernias or people who are very overweight can not get the procedure. You can go back to work right after the treatments, but there are some minor side effects such as itchiness or bloating. Results take about three months. Some patients don't lose actual weight, but there is a visible difference.
