The CoolSculpting Technology Shows Visible Results In Fat Reduction On The Body

Venice’s Contour Day Spa was founded one year ago this past October by Dave and Lori Bailey. At their gorgeous, welcoming and well-appointed spa, Lori treats clients with the patented, FDA cleared CoolSculpting technology that has been changing lives and making headlines around the world. CoolSculpting is a noninvasive fat reduction procedure that targets different areas of the body that may not respond to diet and exercise. The treatments are extremely effective, with more than eight million treatments performed worldwide in the 10 years since CoolSculpting came on the market. Over the course of just a few short months, clients’ bodies are sculpted in ways not previously possible.

CoolSculpting applies cold technology directly to fat cells, while not damaging any surrounding cells or tissue. In fact, patients often fall asleep in Contour’s relaxing treatment rooms as the procedure is conducted. The results can be dramatic and satisfying, removing fat from areas of the body that the patient had come to believe were impossible to change.

Contour Day Spa has worked hard to have a successful first year in business despite closing for a month when the state went into quarantine for the pandemic. The spa has had intense cleaning protocols in place since it opened to ensure the safety and health of all its clients and staff. They closely follow all CDC guidelines, and schedule only one client at a time to safeguard each person’s health while also giving them their undivided attention.

Lori, a recently retired labor and delivery nurse, thoroughly enjoys providing CoolSculpting treatments to her clients. She started the business with her husband out of genuine desire to help people feel better about themselves. A year in, she has become a true expert in providing the results people experience through the CoolSculpting technology.

“After my career as a nurse, I wanted to find something that would give me the same feeling of excitement that I had all those years delivering babies,” Lori explains. “There’s a euphoria when handing a new parent their baby. I wanted to continue to have that sense of joy in my life. Once I learned the CoolSculpting technology, I knew I would continue to have that feeling. The results of what we do can really impact people’s lives. I had one client who felt so good after her CoolSculpting results that she bought herself a convertible. She told me, ‘I look and feel so good. I needed a new car that would match my new body!’

Lori and colleague Wendy Rose are both certified CoolSculpting technicians. The pair has done hundreds of CoolSculpting treatments since the spa opened, giving them extensive experience in using the technology, so much so that they know the nuances of how to treat difficult spots on the body. Their clients range in age from older teens to folks in their 90s. Many have been returning to treat additional areas of their body, and referring their friends.

“We are the local experts in CoolSculpting,” says Wendy. “Our spa is special because CoolSculpting is all we do. If you go elsewhere, the person treating you may not be doing the procedure all the time. CoolSculpting is as much an art as a science. If you aren’t practicing daily how to properly cover a treatment area and place applicators the way Lori and I do, you may not get the best results.”

“This is all we do,” Lori says. “We are CoolSculpting day in and day out. We work as a team and always have two sets of eyes on a client. We work together to give our clients the best possible outcome.”

In addition to being the only spa in southwest Florida that specializes in CoolSculpting, Contour Day Spa is also the only provider in Florida that offers a guarantee. If the client does not see a 20% reduction in the treatment area, and has maintained their weight within three pounds, Contour will treat that area of the body again for free.

“Seeing the positive effects on my clients’ lives has been so incredibly rewarding,” Lori says. “We work everyday to keep our clients healthy and

safe, and our results simply speak for themselves.”
