Questions people actually ask
Do I qualify?
That depends on your BMI, your medical history and what else you are taking. A provider reviews all of it before writing anything, and some people are told no.
How fast will I lose weight?
One to two pounds a week is the sustainable range once you are at an effective dose. Anyone promising faster than that is selling something.
What are the side effects?
Nausea, constipation and fatigue are the common ones, and most of them track back to escalating the dose too quickly or not drinking enough water. Serious effects are rare and are exactly why the program is supervised.
Is it covered by insurance?
New Image Works is a cash-pay practice for these programs. Patient financing is available, and pricing is discussed up front rather than after you have committed.
Can I do this and body contouring?
Yes, in that order. Reach a stable weight first, then treat what is left with CoolSculpting Elite or CoolTone.
Next you might want injectables, which is the category most often combined with this one. To see where treatment happens, every clinic has its own page with hours, parking and photographs.
