How does Dr. Shah and Dr. Chughtai differ in their CoolSculpting FX practice?

Dr. Shah and Dr. Chughtai are the developers of CoolSculpting FX. They are the only office to date that uses this protocol. The CoolSculpting FX protocol is a combination of two leading therapy treatments.
Step 1: BodyFX Fat is heated to 42 degrees centigrade. The use of electroporation allows for rupture of the adipocytes and at a depth of 2mm fat is heated and remodeled.
Step 2: CoolSculpting FX then freezes the tissues to -7 degrees Centigrade using the newest advantage applicators and protocol. Fat that lies deeper than the Radio Frequency is targeted allowing for two levels of fat reduction.
Step 3: Forma Radio Frequency massage is used at 38 degrees centigrade to promote greater absorption of the fat cells. Forma has created more profound results in patients seeking to get rid of stubborn fat.

Different clinical tissues respond to cold. Fat cells are susceptible to cooling compared to other cells and can result in loss of fat. the cooling triggers apoptosis of the adipocytes and this causes an inflammatory response and promotes slow eating by the macrophages.
After an intervention the apoptosis of the fat cells causes collagen to increase and thickening of the fibrous septa resulting in fat layer reduction.
Typically it takes about 4 months where patients can see about 20-26% reduction in the treated area.
