Now you can have the amazing body you want….flat abdomen, sculpted chest, thin legs, tight neck and chin….easily, safely, and virtually immediately. Cool Lipo is a new, cutting-edge liposuction procedure that uses minimally invasive technology to liquefy fat for easy removal. What’s more, the CoolLipo laser system has a unique wavelength that directly shrinks collagen and tightens the skin. This effect is not seen with standard liposuction. The skin tightening effect produces amazing results for individuals who want to see a reduction in fat and inches but may have loose skin that would not normally contour to a new, slimmer physique.
Dr. Prasad is a Cool Lipo Specialist who has helped countless individuals achieve the look they desire. Dr. Prasad performs the procedure without general anesthesia, which means you recover faster and will experience the best possible result. It is much easier to sculpt the body of a person who can move about on his/her own, than to manipulate a person who is under general anesthesia. The Cool Lipo laser-based liposuction procedure disrupts and removes fat cells. It is ideal for small areas such as under the chin, jowls, and neck, or for areas with loose skin such as the arms, abdomen or thighs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cool Lipo?
Cool Lipo is a laser based, minimally invasive procedure Dr. Prasad uses to aid in the removal of unwanted fat during a standard liposuction procedure. Most importantly, Cool Lipo provides skin tightening. It can be used to treat areas of lax skin that until this time were difficult to do or provided poor results post treatment with conventional liposuction.
How does Cool Lipo work?
Dr. Prasad, using a laser fiber held by a hand piece, directs the energy under the skin to the desired area. The laser energy destroys unwanted fat cells allowing for gentler removal when using conventional liposuction techniques. Dr. Prasad uses additional laser settings to target the laser energy to the dermal layer under your skin, causing the collagen in the sub-surface layer to shrink. It also stimulates new collagen production, providing an improvement in skin tightening over the next several months after the procedure.
Does the Cool Lipo procedure require general anesthesia?
No, one of the major benefits of Cool Lipo is that Dr. Prasad can perform the procedure under local anesthesia with light sedation, as needed.
Does the Cool Lipo procedure hurt?
In the vast majority of instances, there is either no or minimal pain. Dr. Prasad will use a numbing solution (tumescent anesthesia) injected under your skin to eliminate any sensation of pain. This anesthetic solution is given with a long but small needle through a site in the skin, previously numbed with a tiny amount of anesthetic solution. You might feel a sensation of pressure during the procedure, as the laser fiber is being advanced or retracted.
How long does the CoolLipo procedure take?
Procedure times vary in length depending on the size of the area being treated and the volume of fat that is removed. Typically, treatment times last from one to three hours.
How long will it take to recover from the CoolLipo procedure?
Usually you can return to work the next day if you so desire. The treated area is normally wrapped with a compression dressing which should be worn for a few days or as Dr. Prasad recommends. You might choose to have the procedure done on a Friday so that by Monday you can remove the compression dressing before returning to work.
Will there be any swelling or bruising?
This depends on your response to the procedure and the area treated. Normally if there is any swelling it will subside in a day or so. Bruising is usually minimal.
How soon will I see results from my CoolLipo procedure?
Most patients see an immediate improvement after their procedure. Improvement in skin tightening can continue for up to six months. Dr. Prasad will discuss and review what you should expect based on your individual situation.
Can I see the results of previous CoolLipo procedures?
Yes, Dr. Prasad has many before and after photos of previous patients who have consented to share their results.
Is Cool Lipo approved by the FDA?
Yes, the Cool Lipo received FDA clearance for laser-assisted lipolysis in January 2008.
