Many patients visit the California Skin and Laser Center to learn about the best methods of improving body contours as well as the health and wellness of the skin with the latest technologies. Dr. Gerald Bock is a dermatologist who provides some of the latest, cutting edge solutions for patients ready to enhance their body contours by addressing areas of unwanted fat.
 
Studies had shown that using cryolipolysis was a wonderful way to target and destroy fat cells while maintaining nerves, muscles, and the skin. Cryolipolysis is done by cooling the skin at an even 68 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce areas of fat and provide better body contours. This is how CoolSculpting treatment evolved as one of the best body contouring solutions for patients in the Stockton area seeking a non-invasive alternative to traditional liposuction.
 
Not everyone is a proper candidate for this procedure, so it is important for patients to speak with Dr. Gerald Bock of the California Skin and Laser Center in Stockton to discuss this treatment and find out if it is best for their specific needs and desires. Both men and women can take advantage of this treatment and there are no age limitations. Patients who are significantly overweight are not recommended for this procedure as this is not a weight loss solution for those who are obese. Instead, it is best used on patients who have specific areas of the body where they want to address extra fat such as the buttocks, thighs, and tummy areas. Patients are also advised that this procedure takes some time to show results as the fat cells are destroyed and flushed through the body. Many months go by while this entire process takes place.
 
Dr. Gerald Bock is a dermatologist who believes in providing his patients with a variety of ways to improve and accentuate the positive features of their body, and CoolSculpting is one of many solutions available to new and existing patients. Our team recommends patients contact us to book a consultation appointment and determine if they are the best candidates for this amazing technological solution to unwanted areas of fat.

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary, non-invasive fat removal solution for adults who are looking to address small areas of fat deposits.

Patients can speak with their doctor to determine if CoolScultping is the most beneficial services for their specific needs and concerns.
 
CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, a treatment developed by Dr. Rox Anderson that freezes the fat cells and allows them to be removed naturally through the body’s system. These unwanted fat cells can be reduced without the need for general anesthetics, incisions, or needles. Instead, this treatment uses a special device that draws the fat into specialized cooling panels to cool the tissue and freeze fat cells. This is still relatively comfortable and many patients only have to undergo treatment for approximately one hour depending on the treatment area. Patients can return to their every day activities immediately after their CoolSculpting session, making it a treatment that benefits those with busy, social lifestyles who cannot take an extensive period of time off f work.

Many adults have trouble spots or problem areas they wish they could fix. A lower abdomen pooch, love handles, saddle bags – no matter what fun name you give them, those areas can cause a person to feel self-conscious or hide their body under loose fitting clothing. Unfortunately, exercise and diet don’t always lead to the desired results. In the past, the only way to address these trouble spots was through surgical procedures. However, even with the best and least invasive procedure, the patient was required to rest and recover for several days.
 
Now, patients in Stockton, CA, have another option. At the California Skin & Laser Center, Dr. Gerald Bock provides CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat removal procedure, to help them achieve the results they want without incisions or downtime.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared device that removes unwanted fat cells from the body. The process is effective on many areas of the body including the stomach, thighs, obliques, and back. These areas are especially hard to target with exercise, yet perfect for the CoolSculpting procedure. With the procedure your jeans may fit better, you may feel more confident at the beach, and you may feel more confident overall.

How does CoolSculpting work?

The CoolSculpting device uses two cooling panels. Dr. Bock will position the device on the problem area. The device then pulls the area of the body up between the two panels. Patients will feel a tugging and pulling sensation and a moment of intense cold. The cold sensation soon diminishes and as the device works, the patient can sit back and relax, read, or listen to music. The entire process will take approximately one to two hours.

How long do the results last?

Patients will begin to see results several weeks after treatment, as the fat cells are flushed from the body. While results vary from person to person, most patients see complete results within two to four months. As long as patients maintain a healthy diet and don’t gain additional weight, the CoolSculpting results should remain consistent.
 
If you want to deal with your trouble spots without surgery, call the California Skin & Laser Center today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bock.
