Woodbury Dermatologists Offer ‘Cool’ New Way To Shed Pounds

The Woodbury office of , will host an upcoming event about a “cool” new fat-burning technology.

An open house about “CoolSculpting” will run from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on March 7 at Dermatology Consultants, 587 Bielenberg Drive, suite 200, in Woodbury.

The event will feature a demonstration of the non-surgical procedure, which “cools unwanted fat cells in the body thereby inducing a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells,” according to a release.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the procedure, based on techniques developed by the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the release says.

“Starting several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called ‘apoptosis’ and begin to shrink and disappear,” according to the release. “The body proceeds to naturally and gradually eliminate the cooled fat cells, reducing the thickness of the fat layer.”

The event is free to attend and specials will be offered. For more information, visit the Dermatology Consultants website or find the company on Facebook.
