TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Area residents will have the opportunity to learn how to can freeze stubborn fat cells away during the Aqua Medical Spa Open House at Gulf Coast Dermatology. Aqua Medical Spa is celebrating its grand opening on Thursday, Feb. 2, with day-long promotional discounts on popular cosmetic procedures and an evening open house from 5-7 p.m., which will feature a live demonstration of its exclusive CoolSculpting technology.

CoolSculpting is a new, non-invasive procedure that allows patients to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells in diet- and exercise-resistant areas such as the abdomen, “love handles” and back without undergoing invasive surgery. Fat cells are cooled to a temperature at which they are damaged and naturally expelled from the body. Because the procedure is non-invasive, no pain medications or recovery time are required.

“We are excited to offer residents this natural alternative to invasive procedures such as liposuction,” said Dr. Jon Ward, Gulf Coast Dermatology principal. “While CoolSculpting is not a substitute for healthy eating and regular exercise, it can be a great fat removal tool for women and men within 10 to 15 pounds of their ideal body weight that can’t seem to lose fat in those stubborn areas.”

Free drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served during the open house, and attendees can receive free CoolSculpting consultations with Gulf Coast Dermatology physician Dr. Candrice Heath and Aqua Medical Spa physician assistant Harmony Church.

In addition to the open house, Aqua Medical Spa is providing free consultations on cosmetic injectables and laser treatments from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; buy one, get one free Latisse; and 20 percent off CoolSculpting, laser treatments, Restaylane, Perlane and Drysport appointments all day.

Individuals wishing to schedule an appointment can call 386-3376 or visit the practice, located at 1350 Market St. on the second floor of the Market Street Plaza next to Atlanta Bread Co.
