ZL Medspa

Safe and Effective Fat Reduction without Surgery

CoolSculpting is an innovative, FDA-approved process that can reshape the chin, jawline, upper arms and other areas through the freezing of unwanted fat. The results can be long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are destroyed and then escorted out of the body as waste. The technology has been rigorously studied and is proven to be both safe and effective*. Best of all, CoolSculpting in Tucson requires no anesthesia, no incisions, no recovery or downtime, and no discomfort.

Effortlessly Melt Away Stubborn Fat

ZL Medspa is excited to announce the latest addition of the CoolSculpting Elite, a brand new, cutting-edge device. The newest applicators come in seven different shapes and sizes to accommodate your unique contours. This is ideal for treating hard-to-reach spots such as the chin, jawline, upper arms, and abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, and other areas. Thanks to the CoolSculpting Elite technology, clients can now achieve remarkable fat loss results in far less time.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

As the next big thing in fat loss technology, the CoolSculpting Elite system is designed for maximum comfort with no downtime. The multi-shaped, curved applicators can target, freeze and remove fat bulges in multiple regions where fat can be stubborn, including the chin, the jawline, and the upper arms. The CoolSculpting Elite has two applicators on each machine instead of one, expediting your fat loss process so you can get in and out of the office faster than ever.

What is CoolSculpting Legacy?

Cryolipolysis is the scientific name for the fat-freezing mechanism that makes CoolSculpting such a compelling resource for clients who want to safely and non-invasively sculpt the body. Through cryolipolysis, fat cells are targeted for destruction, while the surrounding healthy cells are well preserved. 

The original CoolSculpting Legacy is among the most popular FDA-approved treatments in the world for trimming away stubborn fat that is so resistant to dieting and exercise. With CoolSculpting, you can read, rest, relax, watch tv, or make phone calls while the painless panels target your trouble zones. After treatment, you can simply return to your normally scheduled routine.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

Your body has a limited number of fat cells, and the number is set sometime during your teenage years. These fat cells merely enlarge and shrink as you gain or lose weight – they don’t leave. Reducing the total number of fat cells present in specific body areas means that even with some weight gain, fewer enlarged cells in the treated area and any weight will be more evenly distributed, rather than continuing to accumulate in one spot. Each CoolSculpting treatment reduces the number of fat cells by between 20 and 25 percent* – a significant change. Don’t worry about any health risks related to losing some of your fat cells; your body has plenty to spare!

Our clients have been thrilled with the results of CoolSculpting and are excited to have finally found a painless, non-invasive way to reduce fatty deposits! No incisions and no recovery time means a stress-free and comfortable way to slim and trim your body.

During your private consultation at our Tucson CoolSculpting clinic, we will be happy to share our portfolio of before and after photos, so you know what to expect in terms of your results. During your consultation, our highly experienced specialist will advise you on which areas might be best to treat. We see the absolute best results in certain areas of the body.  Your consultation is key to obtaining results that exceed expectations.

ZL Medspa’s Triple Threat Treatment

TRIM AWAY EXCESS FAT:

The CoolSculpting Elite is used for two sessions to freeze fat cells to the point of rupture. We use radial shockwaves to break up stubborn fat blocks further.

TIGHTEN:

The tightening process starts right away when we apply clinically-studied Alastin Body Transform and send a full bottle home with you to keep improving the quality of your skin over time. Shortly after completing your first CoolSculpting session, we begin treating the skin with our innovative radiofrequency technology. These treatments are very comfortable and feel like a hot stone massage. The skin will grow stronger and tighter over the course of six months. Also, the treatment promotes lymphatic drainage, further helping your body clear away unwanted fat cells.

TONE:

Once the fat is reduced, we’ll really be able to see improved definition. We use CoolTone to strengthen and firm the target area. The CoolTone treatment will supplement your gym efforts to get you to peak tone as fast as possible. The device will directly stimulate your muscles with electromagnetic energy.

How is the treatment performed?

We will begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and prepare your treatment plan. We see the absolute best results on certain areas over others. This consultation with an experienced specialist ensures we target the right areas of your body, and is key to obtaining results that exceed expectations. Your consultation is done with Laura Zimmerman, Nurse Practitioner and certified CoolSculpting specialist, or Dr. Ethan Larson, a board-certified plastic surgeon,

We will create precise markings on your target areas according to your treatment plan. This is only done by Laura Zimmerman or Dr. Ethan Larson. You can feel confident that only adequately trained and licensed medical providers are guiding your CoolSculpting procedure.

Immediately following your CoolSculpting Legacy or CoolSculpting Elite session, the area is treated with radial shockwaves. This was previously done through manual massage, but it was very uncomfortable for patients and yielded variable results. We use radial shockwaves to deliver energy deep into the connective tissues to increase circulation, destabilize fat structures, and promote skin tightening through collagen and elastin stimulation. This is very relaxing for patients and improves results significantly.

What to expect from a consultation?

  • Virtual – We offer free virtual consults to allow you flexibility and privacy. While you won’t be able to experience our beautiful office and first-class treatment suite firsthand, we can still determine if you are a good candidate, provide quotes, and schedule your CoolSculpting Legacy or CoolSculpting Elite sessions. 

  • In-person – A free in-person consultation is the best way to start your CoolSculpting treatment. You will meet with Laura Zimmerman, Nurse Practitioner and certified CoolSculpting specialist, or Dr. Ethan Larson, a board-certified plastic surgeon, to assess your body and aesthetic goals. We will create a customized action plan to resolve your cosmetic concerns.

We stand behind our results

At ZL Medspa, our protocols consistently deliver superior, natural-looking results, and we have delivered hundreds of successful outcomes to patients in and outside the Tucson area. Worldwide, over 4 million CoolSculpting treatments have been performed, and the number continues to grow because CoolSculpting truly works. 

Because our integrity demands that we are fully transparent with our clients, we want to briefly discuss PAH (Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia). This is a rare side effect with a 0.025% chance of occurrence after CoolSculpting. With PAH, the patient experiences an enlargement of the treatment area rather than a reduction. If you believe that you have PAH, it is suggested that you wait at least 6-9 months after your CoolSculpting treatment, as for many patients, the condition resolves on its own. PAH is treatable with a combination of liposuction and radiofrequency skin tightening.

FAQ

Am I a candidate?

If you have unwanted, stubborn pockets of fat on your face or body that concern you and you’re unable to improve your appearance through diet and exercise, then YES!

What is the difference between CoolSculpting and liposuction?

When patients think of fat loss solutions, liposuction often comes to mind. While liposuction is a popular and effective way to reduce fat, it is an invasive surgical procedure that involves small incisions and anesthesia, as well as some recovery time. While the results of liposuction can mean a dramatic improvement in body shape, it is a far more disruptive procedure than CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target fat cells with extreme cold. The cold temperature effectively kills the unwanted fat cells without requiring any incisions or fat extraction techniques. After your fat cells die, your body naturally metabolizes the cell debris, and they are gone forever.

CoolSculpting is not a procedure with immediate results, as it takes time for the body to metabolize the fat cells. Patients will usually see results after four weeks, and then another noticeable change at two months. It takes about six months for the full results to be achieved, with many improvements along the way.

Is CoolSculpting painful?

CoolSculpting is not painful. Most patients report that there is very little discomfort. Some may experience a slight amount of pressure and a cold sensation, while others may find the procedure so pleasant that they take a nap during their treatment.

Because CoolSculpting is non-invasive, patients do not report a painful recovery process. Once the fat cells are frozen, your body metabolizes them naturally. This will happen as you are going about your daily activities and will not leave you feeling pain or discomfort during the process.

What happens during the CoolSculpting procedure?

At ZL Medspa, our Nurse Practitioner, Laura Zimmerman, oversees your CoolSculpting procedure. She has over a decade of body contouring experience and is a dedicated professional committed to producing excellent results.

The CoolSculpting procedure requires about one hour to perform. During this time, a cool gel pad is placed on the target area. Next, a CoolSculpting applicator is applied. This device uses suction to access the fatty deposits beneath the skin. It is normal to feel the sensation of pulling, although it is not painful or unpleasant. As the procedure continues, the cold temperature tends to numb the area.

After CoolSculpting, the area is treated with radial shockwaves to break up stubborn fat blocks further.

How long does a CoolSculpting Legacy or Elite session last?

One of the many benefits of CoolSculpting technology is that it can be completely customized to fit your unique body shape, treatment areas, and desired outcome. As such, the length of each session can vary. Sessions will typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule. Without harsh side effects or pain, CoolSculpting can even be completed during your lunch break.

Is there any downtime or side effects?

Side effects, if any, are usually mild and quickly resolve. You may notice some mild discomfort in the treatment area, residual numbness, swelling, redness, or mild bruising. You will have no restrictions following treatment, and most clients return to their normal activities immediately. At ZL Medspa, we use the latest version of CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting Elite, to help minimize side effects and maximize results.

What kind of results can I expect?

Results may appear in as little as four weeks, but the most dramatic changes are usually visible after about three months.* Patients typically lose approximately 24% of the fat cells in the treated area. However, CoolSculpting is meant to contour the body and diminish the look of stubborn fat deposits for a more sculpted look. It is not a weight loss procedure, and those looking to lose a significant amount of weight may not be candidates for CoolSculpting.

Will I need multiple treatment sessions?

CoolSculpting is completely safe, so you can have multiple sessions to help you look and feel your best. After your initial CoolSculpting treatment plan, you can also opt for additional treatments to help maintain your outcome.

How much weight can I lose with CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss method per se, but rather a technique for removing stubborn fat. Patients typically lose approximately 24% of the fat cells in the treated area. Those seeking to lose a significant amount of weight may not be candidates for CoolSculpting.

When can I return to work after CoolSculpting?

There is little to no pain associated with CoolSculpting treatments. Without incisions or injections, this non-surgical procedure involves virtually no downtime. The lack of negative side effects will allow you to resume your daily routine right away, including work and exercise.

How do I start the process?

To experience a more sculpted body contour, we make it easy for you. You can schedule an online appointment or call us directly. You will meet with Laura Zimmerman, Nurse Practitioner, who will do a formal assessment and develop a treatment plan specifically for you. We recommend starting the process three months prior to an important event such as a wedding, reunion, party, or other gathering where you need to look at your absolute best.
