Non surgical can reduce fat
...is a FDA approved non invasive treatment to freeze away fat cells. A suction cup like applicator is placed over the tissue for 35-45 minutes and causes 25% of the subcutaneous fat cells to die with results apparent at 6-12 weeks later .The treatment is comfortable and many patients watch tv or talk on their cell phones while the treatment is performed
What areas can be treated? Abdomens, love handles, hips, inner and outer thighs, bra rolls, arms, chins are some of the main areas treated
Who is a candidate? Coolsculpting is ideal for individuals close to their ideal body weight with little bulges, larger individuals may want a second round of treatments
What's the price? For proper fit most treatments involve the "Regular" size applicator $600/site which is 3 x 7 inches.... approximately the
size of a large iPhone 7plus or the large Android phones. This will usually cover each lovehandle, upper abdomen/ some lower abdomens, inner thighs, back of thighs, arms, knees, bra/back areas. (Most treatment areas will have 2 sites for example: a right lovehandle and left lovehandle, so $1200 for both) a larger applicator can be used for the lower abdomen which is approximately the size of 2 regular applicators but has a higher price point. For packages of 8 we offer over $1000 savings. For more info and photos click here

in-office surgical can reduce fat
... including regular liposuction is Performed in our surgical office setting, NO general anesthesia is required as the patient remains awake (or under light sedation) and with minimal discomfort during the treatment session. Dr. Varano uses local or tumescent anesthesia, by infusing a lidocaine mixture, then inserts the laser into a few small incisions smaller than the width of a pencil. The laser then not only liquefies fatty tissue, but also helps tighten the surrounding skin. Treatment times average 2 hours. Most people return to work 2 days later. Since sutures are not required, once the treatment is completed there are no disfiguring scars where the procedure was performed. In general 60-80% of the subcutaneously fat is removed and results can be dramatic and noticeable in 1-2 weeks
What areas can be treated? Typical areas are upper & lower abdomen, love handles, hips, inner and outer thighs, upper or lower back, neck/chin, and upper arms.
What does it cost? Prices depend on areas treated and BMI, but average about mid $4000’s for abdomen & flanks . 50% discounts for additional areas
Who is a candidate? Liposuction is best for individuals who have diffuse amounts of fat covering multiple body areas, BMI below 33. Obviously every individual is different and he/she must choose which is the best fit for their goals, lifestyle, budget, etc. Here at Medical Cosmetic Enhancements we seek to achieve your goals. We offer several ways to treat your stubborn fat and ultimately you will come up with a potential treatment plan with Dr. Varano after your consultation. If you are not a candidate for any numerous possible reasons as previously mentioned, we will let you know that during the consultation and alternative surgical or non-surgical treatments may be suggested.

Non surgical can BUILD MUSCLE
CoolTone device is the newest in non-invasive body sculpting gaining FDA clearance in 2019. It has been clinically proven to increase muscle mass and reduce fat for the abdomen, buttocks, arms and thighs, and it is Pain Free!! We are the first practice in Washington DC to have the CoolTone device will be available to only a limited number of practices in the United States in late 2019. Cooltone uses high-powered coil electromagnetic stimulation applicators to induce nerve action potential depolarizations for supramaximal contractions in muscle tissue resulting in increase muscle mass and strength. The frequency of muscle contractions produced by Cooltone are at a supernatural level that cannot be achieved by normal exercise. We recommend the treatment for "athletic toned individuals" who want more definition and tone.
CoolTone can build and tone muscles in the abdomen, buttocks, arms and legs. During a Cooltone treatment, an applicator is used to deliver energy to contract the muscle tissue. Approximately 25,000 supramaximal muscle contractions will occur during a single session. During treatment, the muscles respond to this intensity and begin to remodel and develop muscle tissue, similar to intense exercise. The process allows patients to receive natural looking tone and contours without a surgical procedure. Typically the best results are obtained with four 30 minutes treatments. each applied twice a week for two weeks. Results can be maintained with a single session every few months.*
* individual results may vary
Coolsculpting is best suited for fat bulges and is not a substitute for liposuction. We generally recommend it for individuals with a BMI <27, and a few trouble spot areas. For larger individuals Coolsculpting can be used for "Lipo-Like" results but will generally require multiple treatment sessions.
Below is a comparison of Coolsculpting vs Laser Liposuction when treating a full abdomen (both Upper and Lower abdomen) and Flanks:*

Non-Surgical | Minimally invasive surgery |
| Anesthesia Type | None/in-office | Local (awake)/in office |
