Are you hanging onto your old favorite jeans or the most amazing little black dress in hopes of someday fitting in them again? Doing all the right things with your eating habits and exercise but still at a plateau and unable to change those trouble spots on your body?  If you are someone who is carrying a stubborn 10-15 pounds more than your ideal weight, you are a great candidate for Coolsculpting to lose fat the safe way.  Coolsculpting works by using a type of cold energy to remove your fat cells permanently by freezing them.  A very high-powered vacuum holds your skin and fat cells in place while the plates get activated to a low enough temperature for the fat cells to die. During this process, only your fat cells are destroyed and patients report that the discomfort level during treatment is low and tolerable.
Below are the top 5 reasons to choose Coolsculpting to shape your body into the physique you desire.

1. 1. Zeltiq Coolsculpting requires no recovery time! Immediately after the procedure, you will be able to return to work, your social activities, and family.
   2. This is an FDA-cleared procedure that is natural in its foundation and helps both men and women feel confident once again.
   3. Considering the most popular alternative, liposuction, which is a type of surgery, Coolsculpting is a very attractive option because it is minimally invasive. Liposuction involves pain, bruising and soreness, as well as swelling and compression garments to be worn.
   4. Coolsculpting results can be permanent when combined with long-term healthy dieting and exercise. Results begin to arise within a few weeks of the procedure.
   5. It is a quick procedure for stubborn fat elimination that can be executed in one or more sessions, depending on the amount of fat in the targeted area.

Coolsculpting is a great option to regain confidence and attain that slender and fit body you have always desired. Come in to see us for a free consultation or to learn more in person about the safe way to lose fat!

How to get Summer Smooth Skin 
Top five things you can do now to get your face and body ready for summer.
Finally the weather’s warming up and you’re ready to put away your sweaters and pull out your shorts and tank tops.  With summer right around the corner, now’s the time to take action to get summer smooth skin. With these five skincare guidelines you’re sure to look your absolute best this summer!
1) A Chemical Peel: Long, cold winters can be brutal on your skin. Exfoliating the face and body is the best first step to younger, healthier looking skin. A chemical peel will give you a healthier, younger looking glow with little to no down time. To find out which chemical peel is best for you, set up a complimentary consultation with one of our skilled and experienced Estheticians.
2) Laser Hair Removal: Spring is a good time for Laser Hair removal as you can avoid the temptation of basking in the summer sun. While legs and bikini area are most popular for laser hair removal, anywhere you have unwanted hair is a good place to begin. Belladerm uses the Lumenis LightSheer™; for Laser Hair Removal and it is the Gold Standard laser system for providing permanent hair reduction. The LightSheer laser provides a non-invasive treatment that is nearly pain-free and entails virtually no patient downtime. A well-designed treatment regime can result in long-lasting hair reduction.
3) Cool Sculpting: You can exercise and eat right but some stubborn fat bulges simply will not go away!  One sure way to rid unsightly fat is with CoolSculpting®.  Cool Sculpting is a non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. There are no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.
4) Sun Protection Products: What a difference a good skin care regime can make in terms of healthy younger looking skin. While you do not necessarily need to make any drastic changes to your skin care routine to get your skin summer ready, it is extremely important to use a top quality, broad spectrum sun screen with a SPF of at least 30. At Belladerm we have a great selection of Sun Protection products.
5) Spider Vein Therapy: Approximately 50% to 60% of men and women have unsightly leg veins. While sclerotherapy is still considered the treatment of choice for the removal of superficial leg veins, many vessels may be too small to inject or patients may have an aversion to this invasive procedure. The IPL™ laser system can provide an alternative method of treatment.

Warm weather is here and we’re no longer able to cover up our love handles with bulky sweaters like we could in the colder months.  Many men and women struggle to fight off the last 5-20 lbs on the way to their goal.

How does it work? CoolSculpting is a breakthrough, non-invasive procedure that uses cooling technology to noticeably eliminate fat without surgery.

Now, on to those tips for battling the bulge:
Solo or with a Diet Buddy?
Getting support from a diet buddy, especially one you live with, helps you soldier on when you’d rather skip your daily walk and eat a double cheeseburger and fries instead.
Help for Emotional Eaters? 
If you ARE getting support from someone else who is dieting, alert your buddy when you feel a binge coming on. If possible, take a short walk or a bike ride together to take the focus away from food.
Make a list of non-food related activities to do together or alone when you have the urge to drown your sorrows in food.

To Weigh or Not to Weigh?
Is it a good idea to weigh yourself every day when you are on a diet? It turns out that daily weighing may benefit your waistline. Researchers at the University of Minnesota monitored the weigh-in habits of about 1,800 dieting adults and found that those who stepped on the scale every day lost an average of 12 pounds over two years, while weekly scale watchers lost only six. Daily weigh-ins also meant dieters were less likely to regain lost weight.
It Just Isn’t Fair!
Losing weight is often a slower process for women then for men, making daily weigh-ins frustrating for women who have male diet partners. To avoid tension with your partner, try to avoid comparing your weight loss pound for pound and really concentrate on how clothes are fitting and how you feel, rather than just what the scale reads.
