Cool Care: Esprit brings chilling new technology to the Lakeway Area – Citizentribune

How to lose weight safely Comments Off on Cool Care: Esprit brings chilling new technology to the Lakeway Area – Citizentribune

If you notice a few of your hardworking, community-minded friends are looking a bit refreshed lately and you know darn well that with fundraiser season in full bloom, they havent had time to sneak in surgery then its probably the work of the team at Esprit Medical Spa.

CoolSculpting, is a great fat (and age) reducer in the chin area, and local women have discovered the process is pain-free and results happen within weeks, after multiple treatments.

And the chin is that special area that does not discriminate between women who are thin and those who are not.

When it comes to the chin, weight loss doesnt really matter. Its hereditary, Amy Renner Austin, MSN, FNP-BC, said Some can lose weight and still have the chin.

CoolSculpting is an innovative fat freezing technology designed to safely target and kill fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. Once fat cells are treated they are gone for good as the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells.

The team at Esprit has been booking appointments for beach season, as well; the most popular procedures at the spa are for the areas of the lower abdomen and the flanks (love handles).

There are lot of people interested in the treatment, Austin said.

There is no surgery, no needles, no downtime associated with the CoolSculpting treatments that are FDA-cleared as safe and effective. Most patients return to normal activity immediately after the procedures and most patients see results after one session. Some treatment plans may require multiple sessions just depending on desired results.

It is not weight loss. It is targeted fat reduction for those problem areas, Austin said. We can treat under the chin, back fat, bra fat, abdomen, flanks/sides, inner/outer thigh, underneath the buttock and the arms.

Esprit Medical Spa is operated by the medical professionals of HealthStar Physicians, including Austin, Mikki Brooks, FNP-BC and three trained nurses, under the supervision of Dr. Bonnie Vick. The spa is located in the Family Practice area of the main HealthStar facility at 420 W. Morris Blvd.

Pricing for the various CoolSculpting procedures is determined on a case-by-case basis.

It is priced by the applicator, Austin said. Someone may come in and need two applicators; someone else may need four applicators. There are different needs for different areas: abdomen, flank, banana roll (just below the butt) and bra fat, both front and back.

The FDA approval for CoolSculpting treatments means a number of trials were completed by the agency It means the procedure is safe, with no permanent damage, Austin said. There is very little discomfort, if any, experienced. Any redness dissipates within 15 to 20 minutes; there may be slightly more on the flank areas. Ive never had a patient have significant bruising.

Most of the procedures are completed within 45 minutes or less. The areas of the outer thigh can take up to 75 minutes, Austin said. The spa offers private areas with television screens and selections of movies for patients.

We turn off the lights; they watch a movie and then they go, Austin said.

Austin has been doing CoolSculpting for about six months and said the response has been good.

We have people who come in and get their belly done, then they want to have their flanks done, or vice-versa, Austin said. The oldest person was 85; the youngest was 23; we do all age ranges. It is safe for basically everybody and anybody.

The procedures are considered cosmetic and are not covered by insurance; however, Esprit Medical Spa offers Care Credit financing.

Consultations are free; the spa also offers Botox and Juviderm and other fillers.

For any spa service, we do free consultation, Austin said. We can talk to you about pricing, options and all that stuff. We discuss risks, side effects and look at your health history. We also talk about expectations. We will tell people who are very obsese, it will reduce some fat, but you are not going to see dramatic weight loss. It is targeted fat reduction.

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target and kill only these fat cells. Cooling is applied causing fat cells to undergo apoptosis (cellular death) and they begin to collapse. Over the next 8-12 weeks the body uses its natural macrophages to digest and consume the dead fat cells and lipids within the cells.It doesnt impact an individuals kidneys, liver or cholesterol.

After treatment, about 20 percent of fat cells are destroyed in the treated area. This means permanently less fat in the treated area. Untreated areas have no change.If an individual gains a lot of weight after his or her procedure, the remaining fat cells in the area can enlarge, but there will still be fewer fat cells present there.

HealthStar Family Practice is located near the west entrance of the main HealthStar building in downtown Morristown, first doors on the left. For more information, or to make an appointment for a consultation, call 423-586-2410.
