Unlike many other methods of fat reduction, the Zeltiq procedure involves no needles, surgery or downtime.  During the procedure a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area thereby specifically targeting fat.  Treatment cycles last between 45 minutes to an hour and patients typically require 2-4 treatment sessions depending on the area being treated. Fat gradually reduces over a period of two to six months in most patients.

While DLVSC is well known for its Dermatologic care, Vein Clinic, and Mohs Skin Cancer Center, it is gaining national recognition as being at the leading edge of technology and clinical research for minimally invasive and advanced cosmetic surgical procedures. The center currently houses over 40+ lasers and energy-based devices for physician-performed, FDA-approved treatments ranging from fat reduction with conventional and laser-assisted liposuction, skin tightening, fully ablative and fractional laser skin resurfacing, acne, and laser hair removal.
