Excellent team of professionals! I was truly impressed by both the Doctor and the staff!
Very nice place and helpful staff. I was very pleased with my doctor and how caring they were with all my questions and concerns.
I love the care I get here. Everyone treats the patients with respect. Dr. Portela listens to my special needs and concerns. He gives all the information and lets me decide. His knowledge is extensive.
I came in worried about some skin issues, and they were very thorough and took time to talk to me about some concerns I had. I love the location and the staff. I’m always recommending them to family and friends.
Wonderful experience! The staff is great and knowledgeable. Mariyah Ostermiller has wonderful bedside manner and I would recommend her to anyone!
Pleasant and efficient staff. Great doctor. Top notch experience.
I had a good experience with Jacob Tebbs and the clinical staff who evaluated me. I was coming in as a new patient from out of state.. Jacob and his assistant were very thorough and very kind to me, I didn't feel hurried, and I'm very grateful I found this place, would recommend. The skin sample that was taken for diagnosis was not painful for me. Probably one of the best experiences I've had with a derm office.
I saw Jacob Tebbs, he and his assistant were very nice and personable. The check in process is efficient and I like their system for getting lab results. I will happily come back next year.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting® is a fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise. Utilizing the CoolSculpting device, this process is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment to reduce and eliminate this type of stubborn fat.
What does 'FDA-cleared' mean?
You might be wondering what the catch is. What do we mean when we say CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared? Fortunately, with CoolSculpting there is no catch, and we can proudly stand behind the quality and integrity of the CoolSculpting procedure.Here is exactly what we mean when we say CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared:“The CoolSculpting® procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental (under the chin) and submandibular (under the jawline) areas, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll) and upper arm. It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with submental area treatments. The CoolSculpting® procedure is not a treatment for weight loss.”
How does CoolSculpting work?
During your treatment, a gel pad and applicator will be applied to the targeted area. The CoolSculpting applicator delivers controlled cooling to the targeted fat. The CoolSculpting procedure safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Treated fat cells are crystalized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.Fat cells that are frozen during the CoolSculpting procedure gradually die off and leave the body through the body’s natural elimination process. That’s why the results are long-term.
Is CoolSculpting non-surgical?
No, CoolSculpting is not a surgical procedure. There are no needles, blades, or bandages. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure designed for body contouring.
How does a CoolSculpting treatment work?
When you are ready for a CoolSculpting treatment, we clean the skin and apply a specialized applicator which is designed to fit the size and shape of the area we are treating. Gentle suction draws the pocket of fat into the applicator. After making sure the applicator is secure we turn on the cooling and your treatment begins.
How long does a CoolSculpting treatment take?
Treasure Valley Dermatology is using the latest applicators for the CoolSculpting machine. The advanced technology with these newer applicators allow us to perform treatments in 35 - 45 minutes.
Is CoolSculpting painful?
CoolSculpting is not painful. You will feel some mild tingling or pinching in the area as the machine initiates the suction and cooling features. These sensations are temporary and subside for most patients within the first 5-10 minute.
When will I see results?
The best results with CoolSculpting will occur after completing all of the treatments recommended during your free consultation. Every body is different and we take the time to customize each treatment plan according to your specific goals. Each treatment can lead to a 25-30% reduction of fat cells in the area. Initial results will be visible in 30-60 days. The peak results will be seen about 12 weeks after your last treatment.
Am I a candidate for CoolSculpting?
Most patients are a candidate for CoolSculpting, that’s why it is such a great treatment! We like to say “If you can pinch and inch” then you are a candidate for CoolSculpting. It is important to remember that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss technique, and only works for fat that is below the skin (subcutaneous fat), and not for deeper fat around your internal organs. Patients who are physically active have the best results with CoolSculpting, but nearly anyone can benefit. There are a few medical conditions that may exclude a patient as a CoolSculpting candidate, but these are rare and will be addressed during your consultation.
How long do CoolSculpting results last?
CoolSculpting leads to a permanent reduction in fat in the area that is treated, which is why it is such a revolutionary treatment. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after CoolSculpting. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle before and after your treatment, you’ll see permanent results. If you eat poorly and don’t exercise you can still gain weight and your results may be difficult to see.
