Warmer months and more revealing clothes go hand in hand, so if you\u2019re self-conscious about the way your body looks, it\u2019s time to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>Whether due to aging, major weight fluctuations, childbearing or medical conditions, it\u2019s completely normal to gain weight throughout the course of your life. Sometimes a healthy diet and exercise aren\u2019t enough to tackle those stubborn fat bulges though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebodydoc.com\/blog\/houston-plastic-surgeon\/\">Dr. Michael Ciaravino<\/a> now offers CoolSculpting as an effective solution for patients wanting to eliminate their unwanted fatty areas.<\/p>\n<h2>What is CoolSculpting?<\/h2>\n<p>This FDA-approved procedure is a great option for those seeking a less-invasive alternative to liposuction and abdominoplasty. Since it is nonsurgical, CoolSculpting takes place entirely in-office and can be used to treat pretty much any body part, but the most popular areas include the chin, arms, stomach, back, hips, thighs and buttocks.<\/p>\n<p>The treatment works by using a cooling technology, called Cryolipolysis, to freeze and eliminate the targeted fat cells. Over the next several months, the treated cells will gradually die off\u2014leaving you with a more desirable, leaner frame.<\/p>\n<p>When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Ciaravino will take the time to thoroughly discuss the procedure. He will listen to your questions and concerns and help you determine which areas of your body require treatment.<\/p>\n<p>An individualized treatment plan will be drawn up for you during your appointment, but most of our patients only require one CoolSculpting session. We recognize that everyone\u2019s aesthetic goals are different though, so if you seek more dramatic results, we can discuss additional sessions after the initial treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Is This the Procedure For Me?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best things about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebodydoc.com\/blog\/body-contouring-houston\/coolsculpting-houston\/\">CoolSculpting<\/a> is that it offers realistic results with a safe technique, making it ideal for both men and women. If you already eat healthy and practice an active lifestyle, but just can\u2019t target those fat bulges, CoolSculpting may be the solution for you.<\/p>\n<p>This treatment requires no incisions or anesthesia, so it\u2019s perfect for those who don\u2019t have time for a recovery period. In fact, most of our patients go back to their everyday routine the same day as the procedure.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do I Learn More?<\/h2>\n<p>Feeling confident about the way that you look is a crucial part of living a happy life. When unwanted body fat leaves you feeling unattractive, trust in Dr. Ciaravino for your body contouring needs.<\/p>\n<p>Although no actual surgery is involved, we understand that receiving treatment can be a little intimidating, so we want you to ask all the questions that come to mind. You can rest assured, though, knowing that you are in good hands with Dr. Ciaravino.
