IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Allergan
Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), announced the
partnership between actress and producer Malin Akerman and the Allergan Aesthetics body
contouring portfolio. Akerman is named the first Allergan
Aesthetics body contouring partner in support of both
CoolSculpting®, the #1 nonsurgical fat reduction
treatment used most by doctors, and CoolTone™, the latest treatment
in the portfolio used to strengthen, tone, and firm the abdomen,
buttocks, and thigh muscles.
"CoolSculpting® was a treatment I had been
researching before this opportunity presented itself!" explains
Malin Akerman. "I couldn't pass up
the opportunity to speak to experts in body contouring. For me, it
was important to maintain the figure I have now, while shaping and
contouring those trouble areas that have bugged me for quite some
time now. Like any working woman, I have a lot to juggle daily. On
top of that, I do my best to eat right and maintain an active and
healthy lifestyle, but even so, I have some stubborn areas of fat
just won't budge and muscle groups I would like to tone and
strengthen."
Akerman worked with her doctor to devise a treatment plan custom
to her unique body contouring goals. Akerman was treated with
CoolSculpting® to help reduce troublesome fat on her
belly and flanks. She was also treated with CoolTone™ to help
improve muscle tone and strength in her abdomen.
"People want non-surgical options to reduce fat and tone muscle.
In fact, over 4 million people are considering noninvasive body
contouring treatments within the next year1*," says
Carrie Strom, Senior Vice President,
AbbVie and President, Global Allergan Aesthetics. "We're pleased to
have Malin Akerman as the first U.S.
ambassador for our body contouring portfolio to provide education
and a first-hand look at the results that our proven treatments can
provide."
As the U.S. ambassador, Akerman will be supporting the two new
Allergan Aesthetics body contouring campaigns and encouraging
consumers to take their body contouring goals further with
CoolSculpting® and/or CoolTone™. Consumers have the

known as banana roll) and upper arm. It is also FDA-cleared to

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR

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.
Tell your doctor if you have any medical conditions including
recent surgery, pre-existing hernia, and any known sensitivities or
allergies.
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

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 or submandibular area treatment.
Rare side effects may also occur. CoolSculpting® may
cause a visible enlargement in the treated area which may develop
two to five months after treatment and requires surgical
intervention for correction.
Please see full Important Safety Information for
additional information.

pregnancy.
CoolTone™ should be used with caution in patients
with Graves' disease (an autoimmune disorder that causes overactive
thyroid), active bleeding disorders, or seizure disorders.
Women who are close to menstruation may find that it comes
sooner, or cramping is increased or intensified with
