CoolSculpting Elite
CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-cleared system for body contouring in Winston-Salem that permanently reduces fat in targeted areas for a more slender silhouette.
In a process called cryolipolysis, the CoolSculpting Elite device suctions the skin above unwanted fat pockets and freezes the targeted fat cells, permanently damaging them.
The body then eliminates these weakened tissues and produces more collagen and elastin, providing the skin with strength and elasticity. This slims the body and minimizes loose skin.
Restoration MedSpa is proud to be a CoolSculpting Certified Practice, CoolSculpting University Trained, and part of the CoolSculpting Club 1000.
What to Expect at Your CoolSculpting Appointment
During your appointment for body contouring in Winston-Salem, your medical provider marks the areas of stubborn fat you want them to target. Then, they apply a gel pad and place the applicators to begin treatment.
The CoolSculpting Elite gently suctions the skin above fat pockets, freezing the fat cells. This prompts the body to naturally eliminate these cells for permanent fat reduction. Clients describe this experience as a moderate cooling sensation with a slight pinching or tugging sensation for the first 5 to 20 minutes. Once the treatment area numbs, these sensations subside.
At the end of your treatment cycle, your provider removes the applicators and massages the frozen fat crystals under the skin to aid the body’s natural elimination process.
CoolSculpting has no downtime, so clients can immediately return to their daily routine. You may, however, experience a slight numbing sensation or bruising for 1 to 2 weeks following your appointment. We recommend taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen or aspirin, to relieve any discomfort.
Benefits of CoolSculpting Elite
CoolSculpting permanently reduces 20-25% of fat in the following areas:
- Chin and jawline
- Arms
- Abdomen, including “love handles” and back fat
- Buttocks
- Thighs
Initial results typically appear 3 weeks after your first CoolSculpting Elite appointment, and full results develop after 8 to 12 weeks after your final session. This occurs once the body purges damaged fat cells and reveals a slimmer silhouette.
CoolTone
CoolTone is an FDA-cleared device that strengthens and firms the buttocks, thighs, and abdominal muscles, giving you a more toned physique.
Utilizing magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) through multiple applicators, CoolTone’s electromagnetic waves directly target muscular tissues and avoid skin and fat. These magnetic pulses trigger involuntary muscle contractions, toning and strengthening the targeted tissues.
Restoration MedSpa has over 5 years of experience with the CoolTone device, being one of the first 500 practices to offer CoolTone when it debuted in Spring 2020.
What to Expect at Your CoolTone Appointment
When you arrive at your CoolTone appointment for body contouring in Winston-Salem, a Restoration Med Spa provider gets you comfortably seated on our treatment table before placing the CoolTone applicators.
The device then delivers electromagnetic waves that prompt the body’s muscles to contract up to 25,000 times in a single session. This treatment exercises your abs, glutes, and/or thighs beyond what can be achieved during a standard workout.
CoolTone has no downtime, so you can immediately return to your daily routine. You may experience muscle fatigue or soreness, which typically subside within 1 week following treatment.
Benefits of CoolTone
CoolTone yields both aesthetic and functional benefits, such as:
- Enhancing muscle definition
- Building weak or underdeveloped muscles
- Strengthening the core postpartum
- Improving mobility by enhancing stability and balance
Clients begin to see results on their abdomens, buttocks, and thighs 2 to 4 weeks after their initial appointment. Full results appear 2 to 4 months after completing the entire treatment plan, which includes 4 to 6 sessions, 2 to 3 times per week. Results last 3 to 6 months.

Laser Liposuction
Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment. At Restoration MedSpa we use the I-LASER from Promoitalia, with three dedicated programs—the I-LIFT, I-MELT, and I-CELL—to reduce fat, tighten skin, and minimize cellulite.
- I-MELT: I-MELT utilizes coaxial suction, or a tube within a tube, and laser lipolysis to remove stubborn fat pockets from multiple areas of the body. This tones and shapes the figure for a slimmer appearance across the neck, arms, abdomen, and legs.
- I-CELL: I-CELL is a microsurgical treatment that minimizes the appearance of cellulite. The device separates the skin from the connective fibers that cause dimpling, then injects a specialized formula to prevent further fibrous tissue growth, minimizing lumps or puckering.
- I-LIFT: Primarily used in facial balancing, I-LIFT is a non-surgical, minimally invasive facelift that utilizes laser liposuction to melt small fat pockets under the chin and in the lower abdomen. The I-LIFT simultaneously promotes collagen and elastin production to tighten loose skin for body contouring in Winston-Salem.
What to Expect at Your I-LASER Appointment
During your laser liposuction appointment, your Restoration MedSpa medical provider takes “before” photographs, then guides you to the treatment room..
Next, they have you lie on one of our treatment beds so they can carefully inject a numbing agent to ensure your comfort. Your provider may also offer a mild sedative like Pro-Nox or nitrous oxide to alleviate any anxiety surrounding treatment.
After your appointment, your provider applies butterfly bandages on the I-LASER’s near-invisible entry points. If compression garments are necessary, we can help you into them to promote optimal results and minimize swelling.
We recommend clients refrain for vigorous activities and wear compression garments for at least 1 week after their appointment. After the first week, patients only need to wear compression garments at night for another 3 weeks. You may experience mild swelling or bruising 1 to 2 weeks immediately following your treatment. We recommend taking a mild pain-reliever, such as ibuprofen, to alleviate discomfort.
Benefits of I-LASER
The I-LASER goes beyond body contouring in Winston-Salem by reducing stubborn fat, tightening skin, and minimizing the appearance of cellulite.
Initial results appear once any swelling or bruising subsides (about 1 to 2 weeks after your I-LASER appointment) with final results developing after 3 to 6 months. Result duration varies by client. We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle as weight gain can minimize your results.
Medically-Guided Weight Loss Injections
Medically-guided weight loss injections regulate your appetite on a cellular level to combat obesity in adults and act as an ongoing weight management tool.
These injections mimic a naturally produced hormone that regulates your body’s hunger cues. When you take weight loss medications, they create the same effects, such as slowing down the digestive process and increasing satiety.
- Managing Blood Sugar: Medical weight loss injections modify insulin and glucagon production, two hormones responsible for your blood sugar levels. Having low blood sugar prompts the body to consume sugary foods, so we use these injections to increase your blood sugar levels. This minimizes sugar cravings and lowers calorie intake.
- Slowing Digestion: Slowing digestion slows stomach emptying, keeping food in the stomach longer, and increasing satiety.
- Altering Hunger Cues: Weight loss injections alter how the hypothalamus, or the brain’s control center, processes hunger cues to keep you feeling fuller longer.

What to Expect at Your Weight Loss Injection Appointment
At your first appointment, a Restoration MedSpa provider guides you through the injection process. They highlight optimal injection sites, explain how to administer the correct dosages, and answer any questions you may have.
Once your medical provider delivers your weekly weight loss injection, you can return to your normal activities.
Benefits of Medically-Guided Weight Loss
Weight loss injections are a long-term weight management strategy that allows clients to adopt positive, sustainable habits during treatment to maintain their weight loss results after tapering off the medication.
Clients begin to notice weight loss 3 to 4 weeks after their first dose and continue to lose weight throughout the duration of their treatment. Maintaining your weight loss relies on healthy habits, including proper diet and exercise.
