DUBLIN, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Television
personality on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York City", philanthropist, fashion
lifestyle entrepreneur and mom, Sonja
Morgan, is partnering with CoolSculpting, owned by Allergan
plc (NYSE: AGN), as the face of the brand's latest "Let's Get Real
About Self-Care" campaign. CoolSculpting, the FDA-cleared
non-surgical, clinically proven treatment that eliminates stubborn
fat using a patented cooling technology, recognizes that self-care
is no longer considered an indulgence, it's essential. Morgan joins
CoolSculpting in its mission to encourage women across the country
by moving self-care to the top of their to-do list, including
learning more about personalized body contouring as an option to
reduce stubborn pockets of fat and look better in clothes
again.
In her partnership with CoolSculpting, Morgan will share her
self-care tips and her own personal CoolSculpting story. As the
brand's latest spokesperson, Morgan will appear in marketing
materials, digital advertising and on CoolSculpting social
channels, as well as participate in public relations activities. A
U.S. sweepstakes, offering consumers the chance to win a free
treatment, and new television ad will coincide with the start of
the partnership in January 2019.
"I'm thrilled to be partnering with CoolSculpting and to talk
honestly about taking the time to care for oneself," said Morgan.
"I'm proud of the body I have at my age, and I work hard to stay
active and healthy. But sometimes, one may want a little extra help
– for me, CoolSculpting is the perfect complement to my existing
self-care routine! It helps me look good on-and-off camera."
Through various media channels and at an in-person event in
New York City on March 20, Morgan will share her self-care journey
with fans and discuss her top beauty and wellness tips – from how
she preps for red carpet moments in her own life to how she battles
bikini denial. She'll be joined by dermatologist Dr. Daniel Belkin of Laser & Skin Surgery Center
of New York to educate attendees
on the proven science behind the more than 7 million CoolSculpting
treatments worldwide1.
"We're incredibly excited to have Sonja
Morgan as the face of our 'Let's Get Real About Self-Care'
program," said Brent Hauser, Vice
President, Sales and Marketing, Body Contouring, Allergan.
"Patients want to understand every detail of CoolSculpting – how
the treatment feels, what results to expect, and more. With Sonja's
help, CoolSculpting will educate women about freezing away stubborn
fat and the value of self-care."

About the CoolSculpting Treatment
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, clinically proven
treatment that selectively reduces unwanted fat using a patented
cooling technology. Cleared by the FDA, CoolSculpting works by
gently cooling targeted fat cells in the body to induce a natural,
controlled elimination of fat cells without affecting surrounding
tissue, and the treated fat cells are gone for good. In 2018,
CoolSculpting was recognized for the fifth consecutive year by
NewBeauty as a Choice Award winner. Millions of CoolSculpting
treatments have been performed in more than 80 countries.
CoolSculpting is available through a network of
CoolSculpting Centers worldwide. Dermatologists, plastic
surgeons and aesthetic specialists that offer CoolSculpting can be
found at www.coolsculpting.com.
In the U.S., the CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the
treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental and submandibular
areas, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat,
underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll) and upper arm.
It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with
submental area treatments.
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling,
tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching,
and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the
area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects
include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness,
tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin
sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat
after submental area treatment. Rare side effects may also occur.
The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not
have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from
cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold
hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for
obesity. Please see full Important Safety Information for
additional information.
