ZELTIQ(R) Aesthetics Launches CoolSmooth(TM) Applicator
Newest Applicator Adds Non-Pinchable Fat to List of Problems
Areas Successfully Treated by CoolSculpting Procedure
PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 21, 2014) - ZELTIQ
Aesthetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZLTQ), a medical technology company
focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its
proprietary controlled-cooling technology, today announced the
global introduction of the CoolSmooth applicator, the latest
addition to the applicator platform for the CoolSculpting system,
at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), annual meeting in
Denver, Colo. The CoolSmooth applicator features non-vacuum
based cooling that easily treats non-pinchable fat bulges, and the
comfortable design adjusts to fit each individual
patient.
"The introduction of the CoolSmooth applicator underscores the
company's commitment to optimizing patient outcomes and expanding
CoolSculpting treatment areas," said Mark Foley, President and
Chief Executive Officer of ZELTIQ. "The ability for the
CoolSculpting procedure to treat non-pinchable fat will bring new
patients to -- as well as current patients back into -- the
practice."
"As a long-time user of the CoolSculpting system, I have
personally seen the reproducible, consistent results and high
patient satisfaction it can deliver. With the CoolSmooth
applicator, I can now confidently treat non-pinchable fat bulges
knowing that it can reliably deliver the same results and
satisfaction associated with the CoolSculpting procedure," said
Suzanne L. Kilmer, MD, director of the Laser and Skin Surgery
Center of Northern California in Sacramento, Calif.
In the United States, the CoolSculpting procedure is cleared for
non-invasive fat reduction in the abdomen and flank. In other
international markets, it is cleared for general non-invasive fat
reduction. The CoolSculpting treatment results in a noticeable
reduction of fat in the treated areas, and the treated fat is gone
for good. Most patients can start to see results as soon as 3
weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results occurring
over a period of 1-3 months. Every patient is unique, which is
why ZELTIQ recommends a customized treatment plan as part of the
initial consultation. Additional treatments in the same or
multiple areas may enhance the desired aesthetic effect.

About the CoolSculpting® Procedure The CoolSculpting procedure
is a non-surgical, clinically proven procedure that selectively
reduces fat bulges in problem areas using a patented cooling
technology. Cleared by the FDA for noninvasive fat reduction in the
abdomen and flank, it gently cools unwanted fat cells in the body
to induce a natural, controlled elimination of fat cell without
harming surrounding tissue, and the treated fat cells are gone for
good. Over 1,000,000 CoolSculpting cycles and 2,200 systems
have been shipped to more than 60 countries. The CoolSculpting
procedure is available through an elite network of CoolSculpting
Centers worldwide. Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and leading

About ZELTIQ® Aesthetics, Inc. ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc. is a
medical technology company focused on developing and
commercializing products utilizing its proprietary
controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ's first
commercial product, the CoolSculpting system, is designed to
selectively reduce stubborn fat that may not respond to diet or
exercise. The CoolSculpting procedure is based on the
scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than
the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. It utilizes
patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the
temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to
cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process
known as apoptosis. ZELTIQ developed the CoolSculpting
procedure to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat
layer.
