COOLSCULPTING TREATMENT CONSENT FORM

 

The CoolSculpting® procedure uses a non-invasive vacuum applicator to draw in tissue and deliver controlled cooling

at the surface of the skin. The procedure is for spot reduction of fat. It is not a weight-loss solution and it does not replacetraditional methods such as liposuction. Someone who is overweight can expect to see less visible improvement than someonewho has smaller fat deposits. Clinical studies have shown that CoolSculpting will naturally remove fat cells
