PLEASANTON, Calif.,
Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- ZELTIQ® Aesthetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZLTQ), a
medical technology company focused on developing and
commercializing products utilizing its proprietary
controlled-cooling technology, today announced that it is
partnering with actress and model Molly
Sims. Sims will serve as ambassador for the CoolSculpting
brand and share her personal experience with CoolSculpting in
various public relations and marketing activities.
Recognized for her work as an actress, model and active
humanitarian, Sims is often noted for her savvy sense of style and
fashion. She recently expanded her list of credits with her
New York Times bestseller "The Everyday
Supermodel," and was just named a contributor for ABC Television
Network's "The View." The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model
is open about the challenges that she faced in trying to maintain
her body shape while balancing family life with the demands of a
career, and she is collaborating with ZELTIQ to inspire women to
help them achieve their goals.
"I have always worked hard to be healthy and stay fit, but my
body changed after having a baby and there were areas that would
not respond to diet and exercise no matter how hard I tried," said
Molly Sims. "I believe women want to
look and feel their best in every situation, and I encourage doing
something that will help you improve your self-confidence. I chose
CoolSculpting because it was a completely non-invasive way to help
me get rid of stubborn fat that remained after having a baby. Also,
because there was no downtime, I was able to resume my everyday
activities immediately after treatment."
Sims was introduced to the CoolSculpting procedure by her
dermatologist after the birth of her first child in 2012. Despite a
consistent exercise regimen and healthy diet for months, she still
struggled with slimming down specific areas of her body that had
changed after baby. Sims had the CoolSculpting procedure twice on
her abdomen and saw results a few weeks following the procedure.
After several months, she was able to fit into her pre-baby clothes
again.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Molly Sims to talk about the benefits of
CoolSculpting for women who are looking for a safe and effective
way to eliminate unwanted fat," said Mark
Foley, President and CEO, ZELTIQ. "Many women turn to
CoolSculpting because they cannot afford the risk and recovery time
often associated with more invasive fat reduction treatments. Molly
is a perfect example of a very busy mom who sought a little extra
help to slim down after having a child. We are thrilled that she
has the ability to reach other women in the same situation who may
also benefit from CoolSculpting."
The unique CoolSculpting procedure was developed by Harvard scientists and is based on the proven
scientific principle that when fat cells are exposed to extreme
cold, they die and are eliminated naturally from the body. Fat
cells treated and eliminated by the procedure are gone for good,
and patients can expect long-lasting results.
The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA cleared. It is available in
the United States for the
non-invasive treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area,
thigh, abdomen and flank. In other international markets, it
is approved for general non-invasive fat reduction. The
CoolSculpting procedure results in a noticeable and measurable
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 three
weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results occurring
over a period of one to three months. Every patient is
unique, so patients are encouraged to talk to their physicians
about a customized treatment plan as part of the initial
consultation. Additional treatments in the same or multiple
areas may enhance the desired aesthetic effect.
The CoolSculpting procedure is available through an elite
network of CoolSculpting Centers worldwide. Dermatologists, plastic
surgeons and leading aesthetic specialists that offer CoolSculpting

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.
