Can this machine really zap fat forever without going under the knife?
I saw the machine with my own eyes AND took a very close look at a friend who did ten body parts and WOWZA VON WOWZEE, his body is forever changed. It's kinda freaky.
I'll have to try a sesh and letcha' know what happens…I think I can find an area or two or ten, to sample.
I met with Kevin at AVA MD who explained it all to me. He is fabulous and soooo kind.
AVA MD IN BEVERLY HILLS is the only place I know of in L.A. that offers this.
It surely beats the price of surgical fat sucking, not to mention, it's totally safe and waaayy less $$$.

Here's some more to read about for yourself….
Zeltiq, also known as Cryolipolysis, is a breakthrough procedure for getting rid of fat permanently. The technology involves the rapid cooling of fat cells under the skin, and may be the next-generation technology for spot reduction of body fat. Unlike liposuction that involves inserting a cannula into the tissues to extract the fat, Zeltiq is completely non-invasive and virtually painless.
Zeltiq is designed to kill fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissues, and makes use of an innovative cooling method to break down fat cells so that they can be eliminated from the body, naturally. This method is known as cryolipolysis, and was presented by Dr. Manstein at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery meeting in 2008.
The procedure gently removes fat from targeted areas of the body that are not responding to diet and exercise. The result is a smoother, more contoured appearance, and the process does not involve any incisions. The Zeltiq system itself has been cleared by the FDA as a skin cooling device, but has not received approval as a fat reduction procedure.
The applicator is administered directly onto the skin and gentle vacuum pressure draws the tissue up between two cooling panels. This process stimulates the lymphatic system and helps break down the fat cells so that they can be removed through the natural metabolic processes. Within weeks, the body will appear slimmer and more defined.
Key Benefits of Zeltiq
Zeltiq has been deemed a safe and effective procedure for treating stubborn fat in areas such as the love handles, abdomen, back and arms. It is designed for people who do not want to undergo conventional liposuction because they only need to lose a modest amount of fat. During the treatment process, individuals are advised to follow a healthy diet and continue exercising, as these strategies will help the body release toxins and dead fat cells.
Some of the key benefits of Zeltiq include:
- No anesthesia required
- Painless procedure
- No downtime
- No incisions
- Comfortable and relaxing treatment
- No need for compression garments
- Can help tighten the skin
Drawbacks of Zeltiq
While Zeltiq offers several benefits and does not have any inherent risks, there are some drawbacks to consider with the procedure. Most people need to undergo several treatments in order to see significant results, and results are usually visible within two to four months, with continued improvements at the six-month mark. Some people experience slight soreness or redness in the treatment area, but this typically subsides within a few days after treatment. Any bruising also subsides within a few days or a week after the treatment.
