By Freezing Away Stubborn Fat With CoolSculpting® You Can

REDISCOVER YOUR TRUE LOOK AT DERMMEDICA

Most of us have to deal with areas of stubborn fat that we just can’t get rid of no matter what we do. It keeps us from feeling our best and feeling confident in ourselves – how rude! Thankfully, we now have CoolSculpting, a revolutionary new technology that can eliminate fat permanently by freezing it.

CoolSculpting® is a procedure that requires no downtime and that permanently zaps fat without any fuss or muss on your tummy, love handles, flanks, back, thighs, arms and more. As the first Kelowna CoolSculpting provider in 2011, we are uniquely qualified to perform treatments while you sit back, relax and wait for your fat to disappear for good.

Non-surgical
No incisions needed

Are you a man or woman who is sick and tired of hating how you feel when you get dressed in the morning? Is your body image negatively impacting how you interact with others in your life? Have you almost given up hope about feeling good in your own skin? If so, don’t give up, we can help with one of the top body shaping treatments available today.

This dermal filler provides terrific results when used by itself, but also can be used with a wrinkle smoothing injectable (Botox® Cosmetic) to provide a more balanced, refreshed look because it treats all areas of the face.

WHOLE BODY TREATMENT

CoolSculpting’s fat freezing technology can be used to treat most areas on the body, including the abdomen, belly, love handles, muffin tops, back fat, inner & outer thighs, banana rolls and excess male chest fat (gynecomastia).

CoolSculpting is popular with men, as well as women. Males often prefer to use this treatment to target the chest, back of arms and chin.

Double chins and the area under the chin is best targeted by our Belkyra treatment.

COOLSCULPTING TREATMENT IN KELOWNA

The applicator is placed on the area with unwanted fat. When the treatment begins, skin and fat are gently, but firmly, pulled closer to the chill plates which remove heat from the tissue to just above zero degrees Celsius. The targeted area of your body is then kept at this temperature for about half an hour.

For many patients at our Kelowna clinic, CoolSculpting results in natural and noticeable fat reduction in treated areas in two to four months. This is without the risks and recovery time of more invasive treatments.

CoolSculpting is not suited to those looking to lose weight or with obesity. It is for those looking for a body-shaping procedure that can get them the smooth and slim body surfaces they’ve always wanted. Liposuction often results in lumpy or uneven fat removal, whereas CoolSculpting achieves even results. CoolSculpting gives the treated area a smooth, lean and natural look. Our patients have been very satisfied with their results.

COOLSCULPTING RECOVERY TIME

Since there is no cutting, injections, or anesthesia, patients can return to their everyday life after their appointment. They don’t have to plan for downtime to recover. Redness, numbness or bruising in the treated area is common.

With our CoolSculpting treatment plans, you will generally see between 20 and 25 percent of fat cells disappear over the next few months. This relies on a natural mechanism within the body. If the patient has the same diet and exercise as before the procedure, the results should be long-lasting.

What happens to the fat? The fat will die off and be removed by a natural process in your body, making it a safe and non-invasive fat control method. Each treatment can remove as much as 25 percent of the fat layer.

COOLSCULPTING CERTIFIED PRACTICE

Cryolipolysis is the technical name for the CoolSculpting treatment, and DermMedica is a certified practice. We were the first clinic in the BC Interior to receive this distinction.

RELATED TREATMENTS

Our laser hair removal treatments work much differently than traditional hair removal practices such as shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles on a specific area of the body and the procedure damages these follicles. Over a number of treatments, the root will become permanently damaged and will prevent the hair from growing back.

Belkyra is a naturally occurring chemical (deoxycholate) that can help shrink fat deposits by permanently eliminating fat cells. Any patient with troublesome fat deposits, particularly under the chin, back of the shoulder, front of the shoulder and other areas where fat accumulates more than desired.

Botox is for anyone who wants to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on their face. It relaxes muscle movement to smoothen the skin over time. Dr. Crippen has over a decade of experience injecting Botox for thousands of his patients. You will be in very experienced hands.

Some of us lose volume more quickly, while others hold onto it quite well into our middle age, but all of us lose volume as we age. Adding a little volume here and there with precise injections can reshape our face back to where we need it to be. The beauty of injectable treatments is there is no surgery and no downtime required, but results that normally last years.

CoolSculpting® is a procedure with no downtime that permanently zaps fat without any fuss or muss on your tummy, love handles, flanks, back, thighs, arms and more. As the first Kelowna CoolSculpting provider in 2011, we are uniquely qualified to perform treatments while you sit back, relax and wait for your fat to disappear for good.

A DermaSilk Microdermabrasion treatment is a pleasant, relaxing, non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a mechanical method of gently exfoliating the superficial layer of the skin. The top layer of dead skin cells are gently removed to leave the skin feeling smoother and more refreshed instantly.

The DermaGlow procedure uses an Erbium laser to gently remove a very superficial amount of skin, leaving you with smoother, fresher skin and minimal downtime. This treatment is not meant to reduce lines, wrinkles and scars, a DermaPeel treatment is required for that amount of skin smoothing.

Peeling is usually a bad side-effect from too much sun exposure, but a chemical peel is a great way to remove sun damaged skin to reveal brand new soft skin underneath. Chemical peels are for any patient who wants to even pigmentation, soften and smoothen their skin.

We may be able to help you completely recover from skin damage that has become permanent scarring. Using lasers and/or dermal fillers, we can target scars by diminishing their colour and/or encouraging the development of new smoother skin.

A Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser is similar to an Erbium Laser in that they both vaporize water to remove layers of problem skin and stimulate collagen growth. A Fractional CO2 laser, however, is a much better skin tightening laser and therefore is used for the treatment of deeper skin problems.
