In fact, one recent case from Delray Beach, FL dermatologist Dr. Janet Allenby shows how the two can go hand in hand. On a recent episode of <em class=\"italic\">The Beauty Authority<\/em>, Dr. Allenby shared the results of a patient on tirzepatide who also underwent an extensive nonsurgical body sculpting treatment plan. Rather than focus on weight loss alone, the goal was to use CoolSculpting to help shape the areas that remained resistant as her body changed. \u201cShe got that body that was something that she couldn\u2019t have gotten without contouring with the weight loss,\u201d says Dr. Allenby. \u201cShe got her dream body.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-8\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Beauty Authority: The New Rules of Body Contouring\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pEpQqFV7Lmw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"a-chin-to-knees-treatment-plan\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">A Chin-to-Knees Treatment Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The patient, who was in her 40s, wanted to lose about 20 pounds, but Dr. Allenby didn\u2019t wait for her to reach her goal before starting body contouring. \u201cWe started her on GLP-1s and at the same time, because she wanted pretty quick changes, we started her immediately on CoolSculpting,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Over the next 18 weeks, the patient came in for four CoolSculpting sessions spaced about six weeks apart. \u201cWe treated her from the chin to the knees,\u201d says Dr. Allenby, who continued to reassess her shape as the weight came off. That was important because what bothers a patient at the beginning may change along the way. \u201cWhen you look at yourself in the mirror and you think it\u2019s all in your abdomen, once you get rolling and you see that maybe it\u2019s the flanks and the back, there are more things,\u201d she says. Spacing out the sessions also meant \u201cyou could target an area that just was more stubborn.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/a6fb20a3de77a1b6d244d933ee992cb87024963b-1920x1080.png?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-center text-sm italic text-gray-500\">Image \/ Allenby Cosmetic Dermatology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"the-joys-of-no-downtime-\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">The Joys of No Downtime <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">An extensive plan like this doesn\u2019t mean coming in for every individual application. Dr. Allenby has multiple CoolSculpting devices and can perform four applications at once. In this case, the patient spent four eight-hour days in her office over the 18-week period. For the patient, one of the benefits of going the nonsurgical route was being able to return to her routine between sessions. \u201cShe was back at work every eight-hour day that she\u2019s been in here,\u201d says Dr. Allenby. \u201cShe went right back to work the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/89f16cc36a80310f0edbf6304d55bdd0ade59581-1920x1080.png?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-center text-sm italic text-gray-500\">Image \/ Allenby Cosmetic Dermatology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"what-about-pah\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">What About PAH?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Any discussion of CoolSculpting also has to address paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, or PAH, a known complication in which the opposite of the intended effect occurs: Instead of shrinking, fat in the treated area grows. \u201cIt\u2019s something people have to know that it\u2019s a potential,\u201d says Dr. Allenby, who describes true PAH as having a distinctive appearance. \u201cIt matches the shape of the applicator where the fat grew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Dr. Allenby believes PAH may have been underdiagnosed before awareness of the complication grew but says the pendulum has since swung in the other direction. \u201cIt is now way over diagnosed because everybody who thinks they didn\u2019t have [a result], especially because of the old applicators, people didn\u2019t do enough treatments,\u201d she says. In other words, she believes some patients who suspect PAH may simply have had an inadequate response or been undertreated, something she says can be addressed with additional cycles when true PAH has been ruled out. \u201cEverybody\u2019s fat does respond a little bit different,\u201d she says. \u201cSome people don\u2019t need much treatment. Some people you do have to do multiple treatments to get them there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-combination-approach\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">A Combination Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">When it comes to getting these types of results, Dr. Allenby says it\u2019s really about knowing the right approach. While her patient underwent a significant number of CoolSculpting cycles, she was also taking tirzepatide and lost about 20 pounds during that time. Both were working at once, and Dr. Allenby says patients don\u2019t necessarily have to wait until they\u2019ve reached their goal weight to start contouring. \u201cYou can probably do it about 15, 20 pounds before your ideal weight is hit,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Her approach is also about avoiding weight loss at the expense of overall body composition. \u201cWe want you to have some muscle mass,\u201d she says. \u201cYou have to keep all those other pieces together.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/a9eed4763eb072467e6aed5d32ebfbdd433405bd-1920x1080.png?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-center text-sm italic text-gray-500\">Image \/ Allenby Cosmetic Dermatology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Watch the full episode of <em class=\"italic\">The Beauty Authority<\/em> above to hear more from Dr. Allenby about this case, CoolSculpting, PAH and the other nonsurgical body treatments she\u2019s using now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While GLP-1s have changed the way we think about nonsur [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2695,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2694"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
