Thigh Lift vs Thigh CoolSculpting
As non-surgical options become more commonplace, it’s possible to consider treatments other than just surgery for the inner thighs. It comes down to a few things. Your expectations. Aversion to surgery. Cost. Downtime. In other words, if you want to avoid “the knife,” then CoolSculpting will do the trick. If you want […]
The CoolSculpting Machine [video]
We often discuss how CoolSculpting provides non-surgical fat reduction but we seldom discuss the actual machine and how it provides treatment. In the video below, we discuss the CoolSculpting machine itself and how it pulls skin into the suction cup and starts the “programmed cell death” of unwanted fat in the abdomen, thighs and love […]
The Benefits of Two CoolSculpting Machines (DualSculpting)
Since I started providing CoolSculpting in my practice in early April, there’s one thing I’m particularly happy that I did. I bought two machines! This was a gamble of sorts.

What you can do while CoolSculpting!
Now that I’ve been offering CoolSculpting for the last several months, I’ve noticed something very funny. CoolSculpting patients take full advantage of their time while receiving treatment.

Bay to Breakers 2014: Do these runners need a nip and tuck?!
Just kidding…this post won’t perseverate on what plastic surgery is needed by the participants of the 103rd annual running of San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers 2014! The only reason cosmetic enhancements even came to mind is the extent of nudity that is part of this annual road race. For those of you not familiar, […]
CoolSculpting Your Thigh Gap Away!
By now you’ve heard of the non-surgical fat reduction technique called CoolSculpting. One of the things that separates CoolSculpting from all other non-surgical fat reduction treatments is that it works! And not only does it work to non-surgically reduce pockets of stubborn fat in the abdomen or love handles but it can also give you […]
Calling All Men: CoolSculpting
Men are not looking for invasive cosmetic procedures. On the whole, they don’t want down time and they don’t handle pain as well as women. When it comes to pain, women get their “street cred” from childbearing whereas men obviously lack that experience. Now there’s CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting for Men This new technique […]

So I’m officially a graduate of CoolSculpting University! Over the last 2 days I was in lovely Pleasanton, worldwide headquarters of Zeltiq, the makers of CoolSculpting for an in-depth review of all things CoolSculpting.
