Summer Body Ready with CoolSculpting at the Marcus Medical Spa

BeautyCandy Washington1 Comment

Hi lovelies,

With bikini season upon us, I decided to visit my favorite place, the Marcus Medical Spa, for my beauty and body needs, because I trust them the most when it comes to creating the body of my dreams. As always, I was greeted by the always lovely Dr. Keith Marcus and Danica for my upcoming CoolSculpting treatment.

I work-out a few times a week and I eat consciously, but there’s a few spots on my outer thighs that just won’t budge no matter how many squats I do or how clean I eat. That’s why I wanted to try the non-invasive CoolSculpting procedure to remove stubborn fat pockets without having to undergo surgery.

Dr. Marcus and Danica talked me through what to expect during the treatment, so I wasn’t scared or nervous to start the process of CoolSculpting on my outer thighs. First, they examined my thighs to see where I needed the treatment. Next, I laid down and they applied the the CoolSculpting device on the designated areas. It was painful, just cold, which is to be expected!

Then the device worked its magic over the next 60 minutes or so, per target area, to easily and safely freeze away my fat cells. I watched a TV show during the procedure and time flew by. Once the procedure was complete, Danica massaged my treated area which felt cold and numb, after the massage it tingled a and I can’t wait to see my results.

It’s recommended to get at least two sessions, at about 6 weeks apart, to achieve your optimal results, so I can’t wait to go back and do it again, just in time for my ultimate summer body to be rocking in a bikini.

What is CoolSculpting?

Developed by a Harvard scientist, CoolSculpting is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared treatment that reduces unwanted fat cells on your body, achieving a slim and contoured appearance. It works by delivering cooling energy to unwanted fat cells underneath the skin, causing the cells to freeze and allowing your body to naturally remove them.

An extremely versatile procedure, CoolSculpting can be used to treat unwanted fat on multiple areas of your body.

At Marcus Medical Spa, we routinely deliver CoolSculpting in Los Angeles, using this technology to reduce stubborn fat on the:

  • Tummy
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Love Handles
  • Back
  • Arms
  • Bra Line

If you are looking to sculpt smaller areas of the body or the face and neck area, look into CoolSculpt Mini. At Marcus Medical Spa, we offer some of the best looking results from CoolSculpt Mini Los Angeles has to offer. Using CoolSculping technology, the CoolSculpt Mini can deliver similar results to liposuction, a neck or facelift without invasive surgery. Ask about CoolSculpt mini during your CoolSculpting consultation if you think you would like to target smaller areas, the face or the neck in addition to larger body parts.

CoolSculpting Benefits

While most procedures designed to reduce unwanted body fat involve invasive surgery, harsh lasers and a lengthy recovery period, CoolSculpting is completely noninvasive. It’s precise cooling energy only reduces unwanted fat cells, while ensuring that the healthy surrounding tissue is preserved.

As such, CoolSculpting achieves smooth, contoured and long-lasting results – without any downtime, bruising, pain or negative side effects.

Why You Should Trust Your Summer Body To Cellfina With Dr. Marcus

BeautyCandy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

It’s mid-January, which means that it’s the perfect time to work on getting our summer bodies ready for the beach, bikinis, and booty shakin’.

As always, feeling confident, happy, and strong starts from the inside-out and with knowing that we’re all valuable and worthy, just the way we are, but it also comes from being able to proactively take the initiative to create the life, career, and bodies that we want in a safe and healthy way.

One thing that empowered to take control of my body was knowing that having cellulite was nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, up to 80% of all women have some form of cellulite. Plus, it’s hereditary, which means that it’s not my fault that I have it and no amount of squats, hours at the gym, or eating clean will get rid of it. But one thing that I do have is the power and resources to improve it.

That’s why I decided to get rid of the dimples, waves, and cellulite on my thighs and derriere with Cellfina®, which is the only FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for at least three years.

Cellfina stands so strongly behind its award-winning innovative technology that it provides its patients with a Cellfina Yearlong Assurance (CYA) Guarantee. So if my unwanted cellulite returns within a year, I can return to my trusted doctor, Dr. Keith Marcus, and Cellina will cover the costs of have my problematic areas re-treated. If you want to know if you qualify for the guarantee, simply visit CellfinaGuarantee.com within 30 days of your procedure date to register.

Speaking of my trusted Dr. Marcus, having my Cellfina performed at the Marcus Medical Spa was more like a friendly party than a scary procedure. From the moment that I walked into the door, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and at-ease. I was greeted with warmth and friendliness that made my entire experience go smoothly and I left feeling informed and confident in my results.

Sarah, Nicole, and Danica, who all work at the medical spa, made sure that I was always taken care of during each part of my experience. We talked, laughed, and shared stories, which naturally calmed my nerves so I went into the procedure in a peaceful and positive mood.

Dr. Marcus was equally amazing and talked me through what to expect before, during, and after my procedure and he patiently answered all of my questions. He made sure that I felt 100% comfortable and confident before we started the procedure.

Once we were in the room and started the Cellfina treatment, Dr. Marcus graciously explained exactly what he was doing and what was happening to my body during the procedure so I never felt scared but rather, I felt prepared for what would happen next which made my experience as enjoyable as possible.

The ladies in the room with me also eased my nerves by playing my favorite music, talking with me, and giving me stress balls to squeeze to relieve any tension or pain during the procedure. I felt completely supported and informed during the entire process and I’m so excited to show off my summer body in the upcoming weeks!

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AND AFTER THE CELLFINA PROCEDURE

"A minimally-invasive procedure, Cellfina is performed in one of our soothing and comfortable med spa in Redondo Beach. To begin, we will administer a local anesthetic to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. We will then place the Cellfina handpiece firmly on the treatment area, before inserting an ultra small microblade (the size of a needle) underneath your skin. This blade will cut through the bands of connective tissue that form the cellulite, releasing the dimples and creating smoother skin.

You can expect your entire Cellfina treatment to last approximately one hour, at which point you will return home to begin the very brief healing process. After the procedure, you may experience minor soreness and bruising, though it will resolve quickly and you’ll be able to resume your normal activities the very next day. However, you will be advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least a few days to ensure an optimal result."
