Designed to treat smaller areas on the body, such as the neck, jowls and chin, CoolTouch Inc.’s CoolLipo is an advanced technology that tightens skin while it eliminates fat during a procedure called laser-assisted lipolysis. Physicians report that CoolLipo delivers superior results for patients and medical professionals which include noticeably tauter skin, less pain, reduced bruising, better cost efficiency than a full face lift but most importantly the procedure requires minimal downtime, generally only a few days recovery.

CoolLipo features CoolTouch’s signature 1320 nm wavelength laser, which affects the skin by shrinking the dermal collagen layer with heat which stimulates collagen rejuvenation for up to six months after the procedure. According to a study conducted by Dr. Douglas Key, CoolLipo is effective for removal of small volumes of fat and for enhanced tightening, and is an optimum choice for small areas on the body, such as the face and neck.

“Patients are opting for CoolLipo for laser lipolysis because it’s more efficient, gentler, less invasive, and more sensitive to their time constraints,” said David R. Hennings, CEO of CoolTouch Inc. “Patients are getting better results – their skin is tighter, the procedure can be done in the office under local anesthesia, and they are through recovery in only a few days, as opposed to weeks. The ease and efficiency of the procedure appeals to patients whose bodies haven’t respond to diet and exercise and for those who aren’t ready for a full face or neck lift.”

Many physicians also use the CoolLipo laser system as an additional skin tightening procedure after performing conventional liposuction on larger areas of the body such as the abdomen, legs, hips or arms. In addition, some physicians will use the CoolLipo system alone to get rid of troubled areas such as saddlebags or smaller pockets of fat in localized areas.

“I took Saturday, Sunday and Monday off, and I went back to work on Tuesday. The excess fat that used to hang over my waistband is just gone. Anyone who wants to get rid of a little bit of fat can just go in and get great results without having a major to-do about it,” said CoolLipo patient Marilyn Zimmerman.

According to Dr. Robert Weiss, FACPh, Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, “CoolLipo technology provides smoother results than with traditional lipoaspiration alone, and makes these procedures significantly easier for both the patient and physician.”

CoolLipo is FDA cleared for general dermatological surgery and received FDA clearance for laser-assisted lipolysis in January 2008.
