The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen, chin, jawline, back area, bra area, below the buttocks, and both inner and outer thigh. With over one million CoolSculpting treatments performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction.

As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment.

Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), your body processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

Consultations and follow up appointments are free of charge. To schedule a treatment, 25% down is required and payment must be made in full by the day of service.  In the unlikely event of a cancellation, the downpayment would be forfeited unless the appointment was rescheduled within 30 days from the original appointment.  Platinum Sculpt also offers patient financing.

We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. We may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals.  Generally one session runs 35-75 minutes. With express CoolSculpting treatments, treatment times can be sped up reducing the overall time necessary to complete desired results. Appointments can be scheduled in the evenings or on weekends and spread out over a number of days if necessary to meet your demanding schedule.

The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. We will help create a customized treatment plan, in person, that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget. We accept cash, credit, and Care Credit.

Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Request a one-on-one consultation with us to determine if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.

During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. Rare side effects such as PAH may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask us if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.

Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Often times, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting session is over.

You may start to see changes as quickly as four weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two-three months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start new again by taking even better care of themselves.

Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas.*

While rare, roughly 1 in 4,000 treatments could result in the development of PAH Paradoxal Adipose Hyperplasia.  Allergan has a Cool Confidence Warranty where if PAH were to occur, a clinical diagnosis would be made, and the event would be corrected via liposuction with no cost to you.

KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine and is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”

Submental fullness is a gathering of excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as “double chin.” It can be something you’ve had your whole life due to genetics, or start to appear as you get older or if you gain weight.

If you’re bothered by fullness under your chin and wish to avoid surgery, KYBELLA® could be right for you!

The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, and once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, revealing an improved chin profile.

Your specialist will create a tailored treatment plan based on your chin profile. At each treatment, you will be given multiple small injections under your chin. You can receive up to 6 treatment sessions, spaced at least 1 month apart. Many patients experience visible results in 1 KYBELLA® treatment with an average treatment plan being 2 to 4 KYBELLA® treatments. 59% of patients received 6 treatments in clinical studies.

When injected into fat under the chin, KYBELLA® causes the permanent destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After reaching your desired aesthetic, further treatment is not expected.

The most common side effects of KYBELLA® are temporary swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area.

Your cost not only includes the price of the product, but more importantly, the skill and expertise of the healthcare professional who is administering your treatment. Look for someone who is licensed and trained and has experience treating patients with KYBELLA®. It is important to find an experienced specialist who will take the time to understand your treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.

Patients who purchase more than one treatment are eligible for savings. You can also join Allergan's loyalty program, Allē, to combine savings on future KYBELLA® treatments.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that helps gradually replace lost collagen. As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume.

Sculptra is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist.

The specialist injects Sculptra into the appropriate dermal plane where strands of collagen support your skin's structure. Over time, Sculptra helps the body reproduce lost collagen. The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months.

Results appear gradually and can last two to five years with full correction.

Sculptra can be used for a wide variety of issues. When treating the face, a good rule of thumb is a vial per decade (5 vials if you are 50 years old). The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost.  On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months.

Sculptra is used to stimulate collage in areas with visible volume loss. It can be used for mild-severe signs of aging in the face. It can also be used for volume loss in the neck, chest, arms, glutes, and even cellulite!

Sculptra addresses an underlying cause of facial aging, not just the symptoms.

If you want to appear more youthful-looking — without appearing like you’ve had work done — then chances are, Sculptra may be a good choice for you.

If there are side effects, the most commonly reported are: redness, swelling, tenderness, injection site pain, bruising, bleeding, itching and lumps.

Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deep dermis that gives skin structure and supports the functions of elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps maintain the skin's shape, while keeping it smooth and hydrated. A healthy supply of collagen makes for a more youthful-looking complexion.

Collagen is the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissue.

Starting at age 20, YOU LOSE ABOUT 1% OF COLLAGEN PER YEAR.  For example, by age 45, you face up to 25% collagen loss.

Sculptra is FDA approved in the U.S. and has been used worldwide since 1999.

Botox & Dysport are both Neuromodulators that are used to temporarily relax muscle contractions in the face that cause wrinkles. Making moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, lip lines  and forehead lines look better in adults.

Neuromodulators target one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your provider will inject these muscles  to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice your wrinkles  temporarily look better.

Yes! By relaxing the contraction of the muscles that cause wrinkles, your wrinkles will slowly start to soften and improve the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles.

Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, one percent of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow's feet studies, and one percent of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead lines studies. These are not all of the possible serious side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Please see the Important Safety Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide and talk to your specialist.

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 14 days, with results lasting up to four months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient though, so your provider will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.

Botox is FDA approved for aesthetic use in moderate to severe wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows and crow's feet. Botox & Dysport can also be used in other advanced areas for other medical and aesthetic purposes. Discuss your areas of concern with your medical provider to customize your treatment plan.

Cost is variable based on areas treated and amount of product used. Platinum Sculpt offers free consultations.

Dosing varies drastically from patient to patient based on your goals and areas of concern. Talk to your medical provider about your goals and budget prior to scheduling your Botox/Dysport appointment.

Both products are designed to work the same. While dosing varies slighting between the two,  they both relax muscle contractions to improve the appearance of wrinkles. Talk to your provider about what your goals are to determine which product best fits your needs.

Treatment requires little to no downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave our office.

Botox & Dysport relaxes muscle movement in the upper face that causes wrinkles, while dermal fillers help restore  lost volume in areas like the lips, cheeks, temples and under eyes. Both treatments work great together, but can not be substituted for one another.

Dermal Fillers are used as  a non-surgical treatment to restore lost volume in the face. They are made from a modified form of hyaluronic acid (HA), to smooth lines and enhance  your cheeks & lips. HA is a naturally occurring substance found in your skin. As you age, you start to lose HA, which causes the skin to lose structure and volume, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds.

As you age, your skin loses HA resulting in facial wrinkles and folds, like those “parentheses” lines around your mouth. Fillers can also be used to enhance the lips, improving the definition of the lip lines or adding more volume. Talk to your provider to determine which filler is best for you.

Temporary side effects associated with the injection include localized pain, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness and or bleeding/bruising. The mild redness and swelling at the injection site is temporary. Other side effects may occur, talk to your health care provider prior to receiving dermal fillers.

Rare but serious risks include vascular occlusions (loss of blood flow) in the area injected (1 in 100,00 risk). At Platinum Sculpt we have highly trained providers to handle emergency situations with the appropriate resources to manage and reverse serious risks.

Depending on the treatment area, most patients experience results for 6 to 24  months; your own results may vary. We recommends enhancing your results with proper skin care. Our practice offers a full line of ZO Skin Care Products.

This injection treatment can be used for virtually all facial areas. It can improve the look of scarring (including ones caused by acne) and can be used to smooth creases and lines around the nose, mouth, and cheeks. It can also be used for facial contouring and to enhance the lips. In some circumstances, Fillers  can be used under the eyes or in your temples to restore lost volume.

Bruising is an expected side effect of any injectable procedure. Here are a few tips to help minimize your bruising risk:

  • One week prior to injections avoid the following medications/supplements: aspirin, NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin etc.), St. John’s Wort, Vitamin E, Multivitamins, Krill Oil, Fish Oils, Flaxseed Oils, Omega-3, Gingko, Ginseng, Garlic and Glucosamine.  *Consult your primary care physician before discontinuing any normally prescribed medication.
  • Eat FRESH pineapple twice a day for two days as it contains bromelain that has been known to decrease bruising. You can also take bromelain supplements 2 weeks prior to injections.
  • No alcohol consumption 2 days prior to injections.
  • We also recommend taking Arnica Montana for 3-5 days prior to your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.  We recommend 4 tablets, four times a day.
  • Do not use Arnica if you have active heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or are taking Coumadin, Lovenox, Heparin, or Xarelto. If you have a medical condition that affects clotting or are on a medication which affects bloods clotting, you must get your primary care doctor’s approval before taking arnica.
