About
So what is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is a convenient, effective, and safe body contouring solution.
It’s no wonder that this is one of the fastest growing segments of the cosmetic aesthetic industry.(1) It’s a life-changing transformation for both men and women.
So how does it work? CoolSculpting, or cryolipolysis, freezes away fat cells.
This technology addresses specific areas of the body that have troublesome excess fat. Fat cells are less resistant to cold than other living body cells. CoolSculpting exposes these fatty areas to extreme cold temperatures by targeting them with a specially designed applicator. As the fat cells freeze, they experience cell death. Your lymphatic system does the rest – flushing out the dead fat cells and leaving you with a trim, toned appearance. Unlike Liposuction, or other fat-removal aesthetic procedures, there’s no risk of scarring or other tissue trauma to the treated area. CoolSculpting can help you achieve your aesthetic goals without regrets.

Benefits
CoolSculpting permanently addresses common abdominal fat deposits and the appearance of cellulite.
Coolsculpting was FDA approved for use on the abdomen in 2012. Since then, extensive clinical studies have proved its efficacy. They’ve also proved that in fact, the abdomen required the fewest number of treatments to achieve significant results. This makes it one of the most responsive areas of the body to treat.(2) There’s no need to let the appearance of your abdomen hold you back. Contact our office in Los Gatos to get started on your transformation now.
Although cryolipolysis results are not instantaneous, studies have also proved that a statistically significant reduction can occur in just two months from just one CoolSculpting procedure. (3) CoolSculpting offers permanent fat removal with no surgery. Patients may experience temporary redness or tingling at the site of their treatment. But, patients typically endure little or no downtime after a procedure. Read some of Dr. Bitter’s glowing reviews from over 150 different patients here.

Procedure

Each CoolSculpting session takes only 35 minutes. You can drop into our beautiful new offices and enjoy a state of the art aesthetic procedure on your lunch break. Our Los Gatos office is conveniently located to serve the Palo Alto, Mountain View, and San Jose areas. During your CoolSculpting procedure, a gel pad is applied to the area to be treated. Dr. Bitter then applies the CoolSculpting applicator. The round applicator attaches to the gel pad and begins to freeze away belly fat.
Dr. Bitter uses the latest technology to give you the optimal experience when you come in for your CoolSculpting procedure. The innovative DualSculpting process is ideal for areas of the body like the abdomen, where symmetry is essential for an ideal aesthetic appearance. His Silicon Valley office boasts two CoolSculpting machines, allowing remarkable results with double the fat loss in just one session.
Recent developments in CoolSculpting technology have also led to the CoolAdvantage applicator. This larger applicator allows Dr. Bitter to treat a larger area more comfortably in less time. These advantages mean more efficient fat removal, and a faster track to achieving a smooth, lean physique.
Recovery
Patients love CoolSculpting because there’s no lengthy or painful recovery.
You’ll feel a mild tugging sensation when the CoolSculpting applicator is attached. Some patients also report slight tingling, coolness, tugging, or aching at the site, but within minutes, the area will be numb due to the low temperature.
Remember, CoolSculpting is non-invasive and non-surgical. That means little to no downtime. You’ll be able to go about your day and look forward to your leaner physique.
Results
CoolSculpting delivers. You’ll notice results in as early as 1 to 3 months after treatment. And, after just one session, patients routinely see a 20-25% reduction in fat thickness.
Dr. Bitter’s patients are consistently thrilled with their results and Dr. Bitter’s professionalism.

Complementary Procedures
BBL HERO is the premier approach to improving the appearance of the surface of your skin, and restoring your youthful glow.
Once you’ve experienced the caring professionalism of Advanced Aesthetic Dermatology, you may not be able to resist some of the many other services that Dr. Bitter offers. He’s active in the Silicon Valley medical and research community and has also pioneered innovative dermatological technology. One of his groundbreaking advancements includes the use of pulsed light technology for skin rejuvenation. Dr. Bitter collaborated with Sciton Lasers to develop BBL Hero. This allows medical professionals to conduct the fastest, most efficient skin treatments utilizing broadband light (or BBL) to banish signs of aging from across the body. Unlike lasers, which use a narrowly focused wavelength, BBL HERO, or IPL uses a broad spectrum of light with a high energy rapid output (HERO). This innovation allows medical practitioners to conduct treatments faster than ever before.
