might need to cut back a little on their coffee or alcohol intake to get the best results.

Expectations: Vanquish is a circumferential treatment, which means you can’t spot treat small areas like you can with Coolsculpting. Vanquish will not tighten muscles or significantly improve loose skin. In short, it’s not a tummy tuck. Ask yourself what your goals are. What your recovery and financial expectations are. If what you want is a tummy tuck then move in that direction. If you are happy with the thought of a smaller abdomen and flanks and don’t want the recovery or expense of surgery then you should definitely consider the non-invasive options of Vanquish or Coolsculpting.

Coolsculpting

Fat freezing is hot! Coolsculpting was developed by two Harvard dermatologists and has quickly jumped to the forefront of body contouring. Why the excitement over Coolsculpting? Coolsculpting offers a 50% reduction in fat in the treatment area after 2 one hour treatments. It’s completely non-invasive. Like Vanquish, there is no anesthesia, no incision, and no downtime, and you can even stagger your appointments to meet your budget.

Coolsculpting is extremely popular with our clients. Clients like the ability to schedule their treatments without worrying about long recovery or downtime. They like not having to undergo surgery. They like being able to schedule treatments that fit into their lifestyle instead of putting their lifestyle on hold to have surgery....and they like the results. It sounds like we just stumbled onto the fountain of skinny, but Coolsculpting patients need realistic expectations about the results and costs required to get those results.

Expectations

I hate to repeat myself, but as good as Coolsculpting is, (and it is excellent) it’s not a tummy tuck. Again, look at our before and afters and ask yourself what your goals are. What your recovery and financial expectations are. If what you want is a tummy tuck then move in that direction. If you are happy with the thought of smaller abdomen, flanks, or thighs and don’t want the recovery or expense of surgery then you should definitely consider Coolsculpting.

Costs

Coolsculpting costs can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. A single treatment starts at $750 -$1500 per area (we offer discounts when treating multiple areas). Many clients end up treating multiple spots depending on the areas of concern and how much reduction they want clients will see significant reductions with this type of package without the cost and recovery of surgery. Coolsculpting is FDA cleared for treatment of the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. We just received our new CoolSmooth applicator for treatment of non-pinchable areas such as the outer thigh, providing one more option to freeze hard to treat fat!

Venus Legacy

The Venus Legacy™ is your best option for combating stubborn cellulite, tightening your skin and reducing small areas of fat. It combines VariPulse™ technology with proven 4D™ MP2 energy, causing it to travel deeper into the skin resulting in increased blood circulation, fat cell destruction, collagen formation and cellulite smoothing.

Expectations: Venus Legacy is a skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment. You will see smoother, tighter skin after a series of 6-8 weekly treatments. It can also reduce smaller pockets of fat that are too small for vanquish or coolsculpting. A lot of clients find it beneficial to add Venus Legacy treatments to Coolsculpting or Vanquish treatments whe they want smoothing and tightening as well as volume reduction.

Costs

Venus Legacy costs vary by area for a series of 6 treatments. We offer value packages at significant savings that combine 2 or more poplular treament areas into a single package.
