Men and women worldwide are flocking to board certified dermatologists for an innovative fat removal treatment called CoolSculpting. Created by two Harvard doctors, the treatment can deliver results such as a reduction in waist size. CoolSculpting gained popularity because there are no needles or incisions. Unlike surgery, patients can return to work or resume other activities immediately after a treatment session.

Utilizing innovative technology

Dr. Gerald Bock, a highly respected board certified dermatologist with more than 40 years of expertise, remains on the forefront of innovative technology. Dr. Bock and the team proudly offer CoolSculpting at California Skin & Laser Center; conveniently located in Stockton and Lodi. CoolSculpting can be ideal for treating stubborn fat deposits when dieting and exercise have not delivered the desired results. We utilize CoolSculpting technology to treat the abdomen, thighs, back, “love handles,” and the arms.
 
During the CoolSculpting procedure, we place cold applicators onto the treatment area. Patients compare the cold sensation to a thin sheet of ice placed on the localized area. While they sit back and relax, fat cells are destroyed and then they are naturally eliminated by the body. Patients can read a book while innovative technology is utilized.
 
Some patients may see results after one treatment. However, in other cases, we recommend up to four treatment sessions. Results can include losing up to an inch in the waistline, clothes that fit better, increased self-esteem, and a rejuvenated appearance.

Exploring CoolSculpting

To explore your candidacy for CoolSculpting, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Bock, a board certified dermatologist who has more than 40 years of experience treating patients of all ages. Dr. Bock will discuss your goals and expectations, review your medical history, and examine the areas you want treated. If you are a candidate for treatment, Dr. Bock will tailor a plan to meet your needs that highlights the number of sessions required to achieve your goals. In addition to CoolSculpting, Dr. Bock would be happy to discuss other treatments that can rejuvenate your appearance and deliver natural results.

Dr. Gerald Bock in Stockton is a quality doctor who helps patients in and around the community with their medical and cosmetic dermatology concerns. When patients are interested in body sculpting with non-invasive fat removal, he often suggests a revolutionary treatment known as CoolSculpting.
 
CoolSculpting is a quality, FDA-approved treatment that uses cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis is a way of freezing fat cells and allowing the body to flush them out naturally. The result is less fat, better body contours, and a better-looking body!
 
Dr. Gerald Bock at California Skin and Laser Center reviews with his patients the ways in which CoolSculpting outperforms traditional plastic surgery. When patients think of body contouring with surgery, they often associate it with liposuction and tummy tucks. The midsection is a common area of complaint for both men and women who are interested in improving the shape of their body. Abdominal fat can be difficult to target with diet and exercise, making it a more desirable area for CoolSculpting treatment.

Advantages of CoolSculpting include:

• No downtime, recovery, or healing
• No anesthetics
• No knives and scarring
• Fast, relaxing appointments
• Comfortable treatment
• Gradual results
• Safe and effective

Treatment with CoolSculpting is appropriate for many patients. It is desirable on patients who are at their ideal body weight but are interested in targeting a specific area. Those considering treatment must understand that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution and it should not be used as such. Instead, it is to target unwanted fat on the body to improve body contours.
 
At California Skin and Laser Center, we encourage both men and women who want to learn about treatments such as CoolSculpting to make an appointment at our practice to educate themselves further on the benefits of cryolipolysis and the treatments that can provide better body contouring. If you are interested in CoolSculpting, contact our team today to book a consultation appointment and initial evaluation to determine if you are an ideal candidate for treatment.

Traditional liposuction has become a treatment of the past for Stockton area patients thanks to the introduction of amazing technology such as cryolipolysis. Patients in the community who are interested in achieving a more attractive body contour by eliminating specific areas of unwanted fat may find that this technique, achieved with a device called the CoolSculpting machine, is a wonderful method of enhancing one’s appearance.
 
CoolSculpting is a great alternative to traditional liposuction. Liposuction is invasive and may be needed in situations where very large areas of fat needs to be removed from a specific area of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and buttocks. However, it carries risks, and it can be pricier than alternative solutions such as CoolSculpting. Many patients shy away from considering liposuction because of these concerns. CoolSculpting works differently though and can provide results by cooling the fat cells to freeze them and allow the body to flush them out naturally. While the results are not immediate, they occur gradually over time and can provide patients with an improved body contour that makes them feel more confident in their own skin.
 
Dr. Gerald Bock of the California Skin and Laser Center works with patients in and around the community of Stockton to determine if they are candidates for CoolSculpting therapy. Many patients are interested in finding out where the treatments can be used, and a popular area is that of the thighs. The handpieces are shaped to allow enhanced contours on both the upper and lower parts of the body, producing a more appealing look.
 
Are you interested in liposuction but turned off at the idea of the costs and risks? Are you seeking an alternative that can allow you to achieve a more desirable look when diet and exercise have failed? Do you want to work with a quality dermatologist who can administer treatment with safe, effective devices such as the CoolSculpting machine? If this sounds like you, contact the team of California Skin and Laser Center today to book a consultation appointment with Dr. Gerald Bock and his team of professionals to educate yourself further on the advantages of treatment in our state-of-the-art practice.

Dr. Gerald Bock is one of the best dermatologists “near you” in the Stockton area who can perform quality laser and skin care services for both men and women. When patients come to his practice interested in ways to reduce fat on the body without undergoing liposuction, they are often told about an FDA-cleared device known as the CoolSculpting machine.
 
CoolSculpting is a wonderful alternative to liposuction for patients who are interested in sculpting the body into a more pleasing shape and enjoy a more attractive appearance without plastic surgery. Liposuction can be invasive, expensive, and risky, leaving many patients feeling as though they have no affordable options available to them outside of traditional diet and exercise. However, no matter how much someone watches their calorie intake and regardless of how many sit-ups they do, certain areas of the body may still retain unwanted fat. Localized treatment is the best way to target these problems.
 
CoolSculpting works differently from liposuction. Instead of invasive removal of fat cells using cannulas inserted through skin incisions, CoolSculpting uses an applicator that provides cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis is the freezing of fat cells in the body, which allows them to be flushed out and provide permanent reduction of fat deposits. Cryolipolysis treatment has been proven to provide long-term results for patients who are within the normal weight range. Patients should understand that this treatment is better for sculpting specific areas instead of for weight loss. Patients can use this treatment on many areas of the body including the back, thighs, arms, legs, love handles, and abdomen.
 
Dr. Gerald Bock encourages patients to consider CoolSculpting when seeking bodycontouring options that may provide them with the results they truly want. If you live in or around the Stockton area, and want to learn about cryolipolysis and the results you can achieve with treatment, contact the California Skin and Laser Center today. We can discuss the benefits of treatment and determine if patients are appropriate candidates for CoolSculpting services.

When you hear the words “body sculpting,” liposuction may immediately come to mind.
 
Dr. Gerald Bock was one of the early adopters of what is considered among the safest of cosmetic procedures, tumescent liposuction. While this option has resulted in decreased bleeding, made general anesthesia unnecessary, and has sped up recovery times by minimizing these types of risks and considerations, it’s time to change your conception of fat removal and body sculpting.
 
Today there are many noninvasive ways to remove fat. Dr. Bock may apply intense cold to “freeze” fat cells. This process takes into account that fat cells respond differently than other cells to outside stimuli, including heat. The “freezing” process is known as “cryolipolysis.”
 
Cold is delivered precisely and in a controlled, safe fashion to a targeted area via a handheld device. Different applicators are available for different parts of the body. For example, one type of applicator is available for those areas that have “pinchable” fat, such as the inner thighs. The applicator is designed in such a way to securely isolate the target, so cold is distributed evenly and accurately. Another type of applicator is designed to wrap around those areas that can’t be pinched, such as the outer thigh.
 
One of the (many) great things about CoolSculpting is California Skin & Laser Center can treat more than one trouble area during the same session, be it hips, abdomen, sides, and thighs.
 
Regardless of where fat is being removed, the cold temperatures go to work in much the same way: Fat cells are frozen. Over time, they are naturally eliminated from the body.
 
In addition to some of the advantages mentioned above, the non-surgical CoolSculpting also:

• Boasts minimal unwanted side effects, limited to the treated area and to temporary sensitivity, numbness, discoloration, sensitivity
• Doesn’t require painkillers or antibiotics during or after treatment
• Allows you to return to work, normal activities post-treatment, so no downtime!

It’s also an option for those who can’t undergo surgery due to pre-existing medical problems or those who simply don’t want to “go under the knife.”
 
Additionally, it’s important to note that both more invasive (lipo) and less invasive (CoolSculpting) body shaping techniques are not substitutes for overall weigh loss techniques. If your goals for fat removal are significantly greater, other diet and exercise programs and procedures may best meet your needs.

When you search for CoolSculpting online, you may see many comparisons to liposuction. This technique can achieve the same effects as lipo without the surgery. Yet CoolSculpting has another edge over its surgical alternative: cost.
 
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average liposuction fee charged by surgeons and physicians across the U.S. was two to three times that of other minimally invasive fat-reducing techniques.
 
Since CoolSculpting is a noninvasive treatment administered at California Skin & Laser Center, the expense and downtime typically associated with surgical procedures is eliminated.
 
This treatment involves precise and controlled application of cold to a targeted area. The cold freezes fat cells, which are naturally eliminated from the body over time as part of the cryolipolysis process. With this approach in mind, CoolSculpting costs are determined by the area to be treated. The company behind the CoolSculpting system, Zeltiq, reports more than 7.2 million people seek to treat their thighs with this option.
 
Zeltiq offers an applicator designed to treat the outer thighs, and another device designed to recontour the inner thighs. While the process of eliminating fat cells takes time and results are gradual, it takes just one session to reduce inner thigh fat. This minimizes another factor responsible for CoolSculpting costs: the number of treatments needed.
 
If you wish to remove more fat, we may need to schedule more sessions. Dr. Gerald Bock and his team at California Skin & Laser Center will discuss your goals to develop a treatment plan that works for you and your budget.
 
It should also be noted inner thigh lifts are another, related invasive procedure. This surgery involves removing excess skin and lifting remaining skin to recreate a smooth inner leg. Adding to costs associated with the lift is the potential need for lipo to reduce the volume of fat along with the lifting procedure itself. The Mayo Clinic reports healing in the inner thigh area can require extra time, because of friction and moisture in this region. Stitches may separate, necessitating a return trip to the doctor.
 
CoolSculpting avoids all of the potential side effects and risks as well as the additional expense. It can also provide a contoured shape to an area that doesn’t seem to shrink even with consistent exercise and diet. The natural process of aging and even weight loss can create sagging in the thighs that can’t be corrected with proper nutrition and fitness regimens alone.
 
We can also treat the sides, abdomen, hips and other areas of stubborn fat during the same session.
 
Dr. Gerald Bock and his team at the California Laser Center will discuss the cost of CoolSculpting for inner thighs in Stockton with you. Call [phone] to schedule a cosmetic consultation that will help with the development of a treatment plan customized to your body and budget. This consultation fee is applied toward the cost of the procedure should you wish to move forward with CoolSculpting.

With today’s technology, we are able to achieve much more with less pain and invasiveness. Dr. Gerald Bock of the California Skin and Laser Center in Stockton provides patients with some of the latest methodologies for improving the health and appearance of the skin and body. When patients come to his practice asking of non-invasive alternatives to liposuction for fat removal, many are introduced to Coolsculpting.
 
Coolsculpting is a procedure done by freezing away the fat instead of removing it with a cannula, in the way traditional liposuction is performed. Patients are awake during their entire procedure as the device lowers the temperature of the deeper fat cells to freeze them away. While the results are not visible immediately, they occur over time as the body naturally flushes out the fat cells for gradual improvement over many months. Coolsculpting does not require any surgery, is comfortable, and does not leave scarring. The treatment is completely non-invasive yet effective, receiving FDA clearance for safe and effective fat reduction.
 
Dr. Gerald Bock of California Skin and Laser Center recommends Coolsculpting for patients who want to target specific areas of fat that have not been responsive to alternative methods of treatment including better diet and more regular exercise. Some areas of the body are more “stubborn” when it comes to fat reduction and may be better suited for Coolsculpting treatments.
 
Patients are often worried about the cost of Coolsculpting. A consultation appointment with Dr. Gerald Bock is recommended for individuals who are interested in getting a more accurate price quote for treatment, and there are several factors that can affect cost, including the treatment area, desired results, and how the body responds to the first Coolsculpting session. Some patients may need multiple treatment sessions for stubborn areas of the body. The cost per treatment cycle decreases when one initially signs up for an increased number of cycles. Speaking with a board certified dermatologist about the procedure and determining whether or not it is right for you is the first step. After that, cost differences between traditional liposuction and Coolsculpting can be compared to see if patients can save money with a non-invasive alternative.
