Welcome to the Utah Botox Blog

I named this blog the Utah Botox Blog because Botox injections are the most popular procedure at my medical spa and the most popular cosmetic treatment in the entire country. My goal with this blog is to share pearls, knowledge, and wisdom about Botox injections. I believe that we continue to offer the best Botox injection experience in Utah at my medical spa - The Spa at the Utah Dermatologic & Medical Procedures Clinic.

But this blog isn't only about Botox. I will also share information about the wide variety of Aesthetic and Non-Surgical Cosmetic procedures that are now available. This field of medicine is growing rapidly and I want to keep everyone well-informed about your anti-aging options. A complete list of everything we do at my medical spa can be found at http://www.udmpc.com/

I also intend to use this blog as a forum to keep all our clients regularly updated on what's new, what's happening, and what's on sale at The Spa.

So check in regularly! If you are interested in Looking Younger, it will be worth your time.

What is Coolsculpting?

You May Be Asking yourself, "Is this For Real"



CoolSculpting is the new cool way in Utah to gently reduce fat in targeted areas of the body.  This non-invasive procedure results in a noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas without the need for needles, incisions, cannulas, anesthesia, or pain medication.  And there is no recovery time!

CoolSculpting is unique because it uses an advanced tissue cooling technology to gently target and eliminate fat cells without damaging the skin.  In just a few months following the CoolSculpting procedure, there is a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer resulting in significant cosmetic improvement of treated fat bulges.

In my office, the abdomen and flank (better knows as love handles) are the most popular areas to treat, however we are seeing really great results in areas that have not been FDA cleared yet.

Those areas are the inner thighs, banana rolls, and bra fat. These areas are being studied now, but to get FDA clearance in can take some time. What we know is that again, we are seeing good results and controlled cooling of the CoolSculpting targets and eliminates only fat cells. There is no need for concern for surrounding tissue damage.

Other treatment modalities such as lasers, radiofrequency, and focused ultrasound
affect fat cells and may affect other adjacent tissue in a way that is not comparable to
the CoolSculpting method of cryolipolysis.

Ideal candidates for the CoolSculpting are relatively fit, but have
some modest-size fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise.
They are seeking spot reduction for specific areas of fat, but are not considering
a surgical procedure.  CoolSculpting is not a way to lose weight or treat obesity,
and it is not a substitute for invasive methods like liposuction.

This is one of my favorite pictures of an actual patient just 2 months after her first treatment. Every one will have results that vary, but this gives you an idea at how great this treatment truly is!
