BUFFALO, N.Y., July 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Cosmetic Vein and Laser Center located at 52 S. Union St. Williamsville, NY is very proud to announce that they have acquired clearance and are the only practice in Western New York to be able to treat stubborn belly fat with the revolutionary CoolSculpting technology which literally melts fat without surgery.
On May 10, 2012 ZELTIQ® Aesthetics, Inc., a medical technology company and the makers of CoolSculpting technology announced that they were now cleared by the US FDA for the non-surgical reduction of fat for the abdomen area. This is the latest clearance for the company, which received FDA clearance for non-surgical reduction of fat for the flank area (or love handles) in September 2010.
CoolSculpting has been clinically shown to reduce fat in the treated area without surgery or downtime. In a recent study of CoolSculpting physicians, 95 percent of patients who had just one CoolSculpting treatment were satisfied with the reduction of fat in the treated area, and because of its effectiveness, patients have been very eager to return for additional treatments in other areas or for a more pronounced reduction in the same area. In a nationwide survey of adults, 59 percent reported the abdomen is the area of the body they are most interested in having treated with CoolSculpting.
"Although we have been safely treating patients with unwanted body fat of the abdomen, it is exciting to have official FDA approval for abdominal treatments. Other areas we treat include the flank area (love handles) and thighs. Our patients will be refreshed and more confident about this new FDA announcement," says Dr. Lisa Brauer of Cosmetic Vein and Laser Center in Williamsville, NY.
According to Dr. Daniel Buscaglia of Cosmetic Vein and Laser Center, this machine will do in half the time what normally would take two sessions to accomplish. "We were getting more and more requests from our patients to help them with the ever present and hard to remove 'belly fat' that gets so much press these days. As soon as we could, I purchased and upgraded to the newly developed larger abdominal applicator, called the CoolMax handpiece. We are always prepared to deliver what our patients need and want - and I must say, I am happy with the results."
Patients who have had this procedure are reporting what can only be described as miraculous results in the area of belly fat removal.
'I have been trying for years to get rid of this ugly roll of fat around my belly with no results. I have tried sit-ups, dieting, etc. I have had CoolSculpting in other areas of my body, so when I heard about the new abdomen applicator, I couldn't wait to try it! It's so simple and really works," says one very satisfied patient who wishes to remain anonymous.
CoolSculpting cools fat cells to temperatures that trigger their natural death, shrinking the cells that are then eliminated naturally by the body over the following weeks and months. During the procedure, a non-surgical applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area to specifically target underlying fat, without damaging the skin.
CoolSculpting does not involve needles, surgery, pain medication or downtime. Patients typically return to normal activities immediately following treatment, which lasts one to two hours. Developed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, the CoolSculpting breakthrough is based on extensive scientific research that demonstrates that fat cells are particularly susceptible to cold and are selectively and permanently destroyed. This process is known as Cryolipolysis (cold lipolysis). Starting several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis (natural cell death) and begin to shrink and disappear. Comprehensive multi-center clinical studies submitted to the FDA validated that CoolSculpting kills fat cells in the area treated based on independent blind photo reviews and ultrasound assessments.

About ZELTIQ
ZELTIQ® Aesthetics, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ 's first commercial product, the CoolSculpting® System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat bulges that may not respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting utilizes patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as apoptosis.
