Did You Know…
Neurotoxins are medications developed from the bacteria known as clostridium botulinum. Researchers noticed that people infected with this bacterium had suffered muscle weakness. Dysport and Botox have been developed from this discovery.
The word “Cosmetic” is derived from the Greek word “Kosmos” which means “of this world.”
The idea behind the CoolSculpt machine started after doctors noticed that children who sucked on popsicles lost the fat in their cheeks without damage to the skin. It is amazing what can develop from a simple observation.
The same laser that is used for hair removal, can get rid of toe nail fungus.
In the past some doctors tried to dye the patient hair dark so that more of the laser energy would be absorbed by the hair and thereby the laser would more effectively remove the hair. Unfortunately, it did not work because the dye did not reach the hair follicle.
In the 1450s, women would shave their pubic hair to get rid of lice. And then they would have a pubic hair wig made as a replacement.
A tan can absorb some of the energy of laser light and prevent the laser light from reaching the hair follicle. Do not get a tan before laser hair removal.
Just before the laser is fired, a jet of frozen air is sent to the skin to protect the skin from the laser energy and to decrease the pain.
The light from a hair removal laser passes through the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicle and is destroyed. Since people have different skin colors, we need to have lasers with a variety of colors of laser light.

…With CoolSculpting for the Neck

coolscuplting can fix or repair a turkey neckAre you absolutely hating that “turkey neck” that has crept up on you? Do you find yourself stretching your neck muscles out to try and hide it? Or wearing turtlenecks? The dreaded “turkey neck” is anything but a joke and can chip away at confidence.

Fortunately, for this common problem, CoolSculpting is now available for treating the neck area. This quick treatment requires no needles, no surgery, no downtime, and takes years off your appearance. CoolSculpting reduces fat under the chin and contours the neck to achieve a significantly improved and streamlined neck line.

If you’re not familiar with the miracle of CoolSculpting, it’s a method that was discovered by scientific researchers at Harvard. No anesthesia, and no scars. It’s a clinically-proven, FDA-approved, totally non-surgical treatment with no recovery downtime. This procedure has become popular because it achieves some of the best results for non-invasive fat elimination.

CoolSculpting uses intense cold to target fat cells, eliminating them under the skin in a way that exercise and diet can’t. Fat cells are literally frozen away. Once crystallized, these unwanted cells die and naturally disappear from your body, leaving the treated areas contoured. And once these fat cells are frozen and eliminated, they don’t come back. All that’s left is the lovely shape you want.

This is a particularly good treatment for neck areas and other areas that can’t or don’t seem to respond well to diet and exercise, since it eliminates the fat in a whole different way.

Patients literally say this procedure is like magic. Each CoolSculpting appointment lasts about one hour—the same amount of time you’d probably spend at the gym. And after each appointment, you can get right back to your daily routine. Many patients take the hour to read, catch up on texts and emails, or even take a quick cat nap. The sensations you may feel during the procedure include pulling, mild pinching, and cold. Many patients see a bit of swelling afterwards, but this subsides and then you’ll start to see beautiful new contouring.

Everyone has a different body with its own unique quirks, so Fremont Laser’s CoolSculpting experts work with you on the best treatment plan for your specific needs. Some patients only need one session, and others require more. Results are revealed naturally and slowly, so you’ll notice subtle changes that truly astound you over the following post-procedure weeks.

This is a very popular treatment due to its results and extremely low downtime. It’s great for those who want to target a stubborn problem area, like turkey neck, rather than those who are trying to lose weight everywhere.

So, bid farewell to your double chin. If you live in Fremont or around the Bay Area and are interested in getting rid of your turkey neck once and for all, Fremont Laser can help!
