Zeltiq looks promising. The procedure is an alternative to liposuction and is currently being tested. Zeltiq promises to eliminate fat, but unlike liposuction, there are no incisions.
This procedure kills fat cells by freezing them, and then your body flushes them out.
You won't find a lot of reviews about Zeltiq since the procedure is very new.
It's not for the person who's obese. It's for the person who's pretty close to their ideal body weight and just wants to lose the love handles, back fat, belly fat.
This is a before and after picture of a patience that underwent the Zeltiq procedure.
As you can see the results are amazing.
The ZELTIQ system utilizes a patented method called Cryolipolysis (the use of precisely controlled cooling to remove fat) that is designed to only kill fat cells. Cryolipolysis is the latest in a series of innovations by Dr. Dieter Manstein and Dr. R. Rox Anderson that originated from The Wellman Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate for Harvard Medical School.
Within several days the destroyed fat cells begin to shrink, and are then digested by and removed from the body through metabolic processes. Usually within two to four months, patients see a reduction in the area of fat targeted and an improvement in body contour.
Zeltiq is non-surgical. No needles, incisions, pain relievers, or recovery time are needed. Risky side effects are not a problem. The procedure is performed in the doctor's office, and when it is finished the patient can resume his or her normal life without missing a beat.
The cost for Zeltiq isn't cheap. It's about $500 a treatment, and you may need several treatments to notice results.
