Drs. Alster, Tanzi, and MacGregor at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery were the first physicians in the mid-Atlantic and DC Metro area to offer CoolSculpting, a revolutionary, non-invasive way to eliminate unwanted fat bulges. In fact, the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery participated in the first clinical studies that led to the FDA-approval of the device. As one of the first practices to use CoolSculpting in the world, we have the experience to deliver safe and effective results.
The science behind CoolSculpting, called Cryolipolysis™, was developed by dermatologists at Harvard Medical School. Their research demonstrated that fat cells are naturally more sensitive to the effects of cold. By using advanced tissue cooling technology, CoolSculpting can destroy fat cells through a controlled cooling process leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed. In clinical research performed at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery, Drs. Alster, Tanzi, and MacGregor have shown that, for properly selected patients, the CoolSculpting procedure resulted in a noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in targeted areas without the need for needles, incisions, anesthesia, or recovery-time. After a virtually painless procedure, clinical improvement is evident within 2 to 4 months. Additional treatments can be performed to attain additional fat destruction. After the treatment, normal activities can be resumed immediately– there is no recovery time. Fat reduction with no cutting, no needles, and no recovery? How cool is THAT?
