I had done Fraxel a year ago to take care of some dark aging spots on my face. The result was good, but it was actually really painful. I’m very pleased that I found clear + brilliant as a substitute for this. When I think about all the agony I have to go through for Fraxel, it’s not worth it. Clear + brilliant is much less invasive and not painful at all. I only did it once, and I’m already seeing a difference, but I know it’s going to be even more of a full effect as the months go by. When you wake up in the morning and your skin is glowing, you feel much better than before. The Dr. Brilliant staff was really nice in working with me too. They listened to what I wanted, and they explained everything in a lot of depth and with patience. I don’t even remember how long the procedure took because to be honest, we were talking so much that I didn’t notice the time go by. That took the edge out of it, and the whole treatment process was really smooth. No side effects, just a little redness,… but that didn’t last very long. I’m pretty pleased with my results now, but going back to Dr. Brilliant for more treatments will make me even happier.

I came to Dr. Freeze to get rid of this annoying fat around my entire waist and abdomen. My wife had came here and got amazing results and after her hearing me complain to much about my never ending gym efforts, she referred me to Coolsculpting. I've tried pretty much every fad workout routine, expensive supplements and even got a personal trainer but none of that seemed to work. I've never had this hard of a problem trying to lose fat in these areas especially since I've always been been pretty active since high school (some time ago) having been on the football team and now participating in my son's high school football team as a coach. Unfortunately none of my same7 exercise efforts work as dramatic as they used to so I needed some extra help. When I visited Dr. Freeze I was a bit hesitant being a male and didn't even know if guys got this type of procedure done but the staff here made me so comfortable and assured me that tons of guys get this and this center actually treats… the most males in all of orange county! After hearing that I was preety much sold. Besides that fact, I found out they solely concentrate on Coolsculpting which gave me even more assurance that this place has the experience and focus to give me the results I needed. I purchased a couple packages that included the reatreaments, I did not want to skip out on the extra help I needed and I recommend everyone to do so. The treatment was painless and their office is pretty iimpressive. I'm 6'4 and I definitely appreciated their tall ceilings, huge treatment rooms and large treatment chairs, it was like a man's cave while getting treated. So far I've had great results and I am so glad my Wife encouraged me to get coolsculpting. We're a happier more sculpted couple because of Dr. Freeze.

I got my entire abdomen (lower and upper) treated here as well as my flanks and I’m in love with my results! I visited multiple centers from the most lavish spas to centers practically giving it away because of how low their prices were but once I came to Dr. Freeze I knew this was the place. They are a dedicated Coolsculpting center so they primarily focus on Coolsculpting which is a good thing. They have much more experience then any center I visited and it shows. Their nurse Marissa knew so much then even some of the doctors I had consulted with at other places and it felt like a much more in depth and personalized consultation. I met with Angel who went over my different pricing options and packages and their pricing structure is so much more clear and concise (I wouldn’t expect any less from a center who does this often). I got packages that included retreatments to get a much more dramatic result. Definently upgrade to get their LipoEdge injections that help get faster… results!

I had a remarkable experience at Dr. Freeze and here is why: 1. The procedure was simple and surprising comfortable.  There was some initial discomfort when the tissue got pulled into the treatment device, but after a few minutes I got used to it and the rest of the procedure was pain-free. 2. Dr. Freeze's treatment rooms are the biggest I have seen (literally twice the size of other cool sculpting centers), which is awesome because I am a little claustrophobic. 3. Each cool sculpting room also comes with a ton of options to keep you entertained during the procedure.  They played a movie and I lost track of time - next thing I knew the procedure was done. 4. I cannot say enough about how nice and friendly the staff is.  5. Dr. Freeze is the only center in Orange County that offers the option to upgrade to Hyper Sculpting (which combines Cool sculpting with fat burning Lipo Edge injections). 6. Dr. Freeze has a great collection of treatment packages.  Each package focuses on a different… area of the body and with these packages you get a 40% reduction pinchable fat vs. the 20% you get with just one round of cool sculpting.  Best of all, you can get discounted pricing when you buy multiple packages at the same time. 7. Most importantly, my results with Dr. Freeze were amazing! I went back to Dr. Freeze once a week for my Lipo Edge injections to increase my metabolism for 4 weeks following the procedure.  When I completed the injections, I literally missed going there and talking with the staff. After just four weeks of Lipo Edge injections my results were astounding (with just cool sculpting alone seeing the results can take 8 weeks or more).  The pinchable fat on my lower abs has been reduced permanently by at least 20%.  The results were so good that I started having ice cream and I see a bit of increase in my upper belly fat only, but not on the lower belly (treated area) which stayed the same. This proved to me that I actually lost fat cells for good. I can't wait to go back to Dr. Freeze and get my upper belly treated.  I also plan on retreating my lower abs so I can get a 40% reduction and be ready for bikini season. Throughout my adult life, despite exercising up to 4 days a week, my belly fat never got smaller and was always hanging.  With Dr. Freeze, however, I got clearly visible results with only one round of treatments and I can say that I am addicted considering how easy it is.  No more crunches for me!

Being fit and in shape has always been very important to me. But even though I was working out every day, once I hit my 50s I developed a small bulge of fat below my belly button. To supplement my workout routines, I tried different diet programs, like Nutrisystem. Those helped me lose a few pounds, but my belly fat persisted. Then I heard about cool sculpting, a procedure which reduced fat cells without any surgery. I went to a few consultations at various offices, but all of them told me that even though Coolsculpting would take off inches from my waistline, the procedure wouldnâ??t help me drop the 10 lbs. I wanted to lose. Then I came across Dr. Freeze and I was thrilled to learn that they could combined CoolSculpting with a comprehensive physician supervised weight loss program. I went in for my coolsculpting consultation, and just like the other centers they advised me that cool sculpting alone would not help me lose weight. But then the team at Dr. Freeze started… discussing their Dr. Food 12-week weight loss program which could help me lose some weight (in addition to freezing some of my belly fat away). I signed up for the Dr. Food 12-week program ($2,500) and purchased Dr. Freezeâ??s lower ab treatment package ($2,400). They call this the Dr. Food + Dr. Freeze package and let me tell you it is worth every penny. 12 weeks after my treatment my lower abdomen was noticeably flatter and I had also lost more than 10 pounds! Keep in mind, the other centers I went to before Dr. Freeze told me to expect No significant weight reduction with cool sculpting. Today I am ecstatic with my results. Not only does my stomach look thinner, but I also feel healthier and more energetic thanks to the weight I lost with Dr. Food.

For most of my adult life, I have struggled to lose weight. Then after a prolonged period of work-related stress and comfort eating, I decided I needed professional help from an expert. I had a goal: I wanted to feel comfortable in my bathing suit again. I love going on tropical vacations, but for the past few years I have been feeling less comfortable in my bathing suit. So I had a specific timeline and I needed to lose weight very quickly. Some people believe that itâ??s safer to lose weight slower. I have tried the slow and steady approach in the past, but it doesnâ??t necessarily keep the weight off. When I first started with Dr. Food, I was a little nervous and apprehensive about how specific the meal plan was. But I quickly adjusted to the reduction in food intake and with the help of appetite suppressants and I was able drop 8.2 pounds in the first week. I kept losing weight and by the end of the 12 weeks, I lost a total of 31.4 pounds and 5 inches off my… waist! Before Dr. Food, I used to be focused on a lot of protein and no carbs. In fact, and I was afraid of eating fruit for so long since a lot of other diets, like the Atkins diet, cut out fruit because of the amount of sugar in it. But the Dr. Food plan provides a nice balance between everything. I can eat apples and berries, which I havenâ??t eaten in so long! Sticking with the plan and talking to Dr. Haque and his team every week on very specific details on my progress kept me on track. Much to my surprise I consistently lost between .8 pounds to 5.2 pounds every week. As I continued to lose weight week after week, I became even more committed to the program. Remember how I love vacations? Well, during Dr. Foodâ??s 12-week program I went on a couple trips and I was nervous about not having access to my kitchen and my food. I was in Vegas one time and I thought, â??Where am I going to eat? Where am I going to get my apple?â?? But I actually found a Trader Joeâ??s nearby, brought an ice chest and made it work out. After I completed the 12 week program, I joined Dr. Food maintenance membership to make sure I stayed thin and healthy. Now, I actually weigh myself every day to make sure that Iâ??m maintaining my weight or even dropping a few more pounds. If my weight goes up half a pound, I ask myself why and keep myself mentally on track. All this effort paid off. I lost ANOTHER 18 lbs. during the first eight weeks on the maintenance program. So that means 20 weeks after starting with Dr. Food I have lost about 49 lbs. To be honest, I wasnâ??t expecting to feel as good and as confident as I do right now. I thought I would just lose some weight with Dr. Food and my clothes would fit better. Now, Iâ??ve lost so much weight that I donâ??t even fit in any of my clothes! Dr. Food has taught me that youâ??ll never know what you can achieve unless you try. I was sensitive to the fact that Iâ??m getting older and everybody talks about how challenging it is to lose weight as you get older. But Dr. Food made my age irrelevant and it made me believe in myself again. The Dr. Food program is so unique that you have to try it to fully appreciate what it can do for you. For me, it gave me a level of commitment that was hard to achieve by myself.

I used to be bullied as a kid. I remember a group of boys on the first day of 6th grade who said, â??Hey guys, want to see fat? Look at that,â?? and they pointed at me. As I started to get more active and played sports, I lost a lot of weight. However, the older I got, the more my weight yoâ??yoâ??d up and down despite trying various exercise and diet regimens â?? Iâ??ve done marathons, Olympic weight lifting and CrossFit, and Iâ??ve tried Weight Watchers, Shakeology and Paleo. But over the past three years, even while doing these activities and diets, I still gained weight. I finally realized that my old diets and exercises just didnâ??t work anymore. At the same time, a few life changes happened with contributed to my weight gain. I found my husband, and got married this past April. I became very comfortable with him and didnâ??t hold myself accountable for any bad eating habits. The following month, my mom had a stroke. Even though she was very healthy, her high cholesterol… probably contributed to her stroke. I started thinking more about my own health and I decided to make a serious change. I came across the Dr. Food website and decided to sign up for their 12-week program (the shortest program for new patients). During the first week they drew blood for an in-depth analysis, which was something I never did in previous programs. The results of the blood work showed that my cholesterol levels were very high, which caught me off guard because I was so active. This proved that I didnâ??t even know what was happening to my own body. Also, talking to a real doctor was exactly what I needed â?? I was looking for an actual doctor to talk to about my weight loss who I could check in with regularly (once a week actually!). That first week of the program I actually lost 7.9 pounds! Each week after I would lose anywhere between half a pound to three pounds. If I gained a little bit of weight one week, Dr. Haque would ask me several questions to find out what happened and gave me suggestions on what I could do to continue to lose weight. This included different food items I could substitute if I was craving food or even providing supplements to boost my metabolism and further drive my weight loss. The food items were limited, which I liked. Dr. Haque and his team took time to explain why specific food options were available and how every single ingredient that goes into meals can affect my progress. Dr. Haque and his team kept me focused on losing weight for those 12-weeks. They also reassured me that after I shed the pounds their maintenance program would help me keep the weight off. At first, I did struggle â?? after the first two weeks, I started to have really low energy and felt very tired - but I did lose 10 pounds during that time, which kept me going. When my body adjusted to the changes, I got my energy back and now I feel more energetic than ever. I needed Dr. Food because I was unhappy and I needed to make a change. I had high cholesterol and I just wanted to do everything possible to lower it. Well guess what? After just 12 weeks with Dr. Food my cholesterol had dropped to the normal range. Today, my clothes fit better, I feel better and I feel stronger. I feel like I took control of my life and that I did something about it. Since my weight has been a lifelong struggle, I know the struggle wonâ??t end. But Iâ??ve dedicated three months into Dr. Food and Iâ??ve had so much success that Iâ??m just going to keep sticking to it.

Iâ??ve tried almost every program and method to lose weight â?? acupuncture, juicing, Lindora, Jenny Craig and CrossFit, just to name a few. Although these programs did help me, they never worked as well or as quickly as Dr. Food. After starting the 12 week program, I lost 7.7 pounds in the first week. By the end of the second week, I was down a total of 12.9 pounds.Many factors have contributed to my weight gain: 1. I come from a Mexican family where there is a lot of social eating. We had gatherings every weekend where a lot of rich foods were served. 2. When I was younger I also ate a lot of fast food because that was affordable for my family at the time. 3. Then once I started college, I was homesick. So I mostly ate for comfort. 4. After I graduated and started social work, I would work long hours, not eat the whole day, and then eat a large meal for dinner and go right to bed. During this whole time I kept trying different weight loss programs and diets but none of them… gave me the definitive results I needed.I wanted to change the way I viewed food and started researching nutritionists. I saw reviews on Dr. Food from people who had similar weight loss issues as me. I messaged some of the women, and they verified that they had great results with the program. I decided to go in for a consultation, and I thought the program was a bit similar to Lindora, but with Dr. Food you have a specific list of food items and you have to prepare your own food. Dr. Haque and his team actually take time to teach you what you should be eating and why. Unlike all the previous programs Iâ??ve tried, Dr. Food gave me a deep understanding of nutrition and taught me how keep the weight off with a sustainable lifestyle.Besides the weight loss, Dr. Haque also helped me in another major way. At the beginning of the program the Dr. Food team does a weight-loss focused blood test. Dr. Haque found an abnormality in my blood test and sent me to get further testing to evaluate my thyroid. I had always thought that something was wrong, but my doctors never did any tests until Dr. Haque specifically asked for it. Just as Dr. Haque suspected, I found out that I had hypothyroidism, which slows down metabolism, decreases energy levels, and causes weight gain. I was put on thyroid medication and it has made a huge difference.For years I was fighting an uphill battle with obesity, but thanks to Dr. Haqueâ??s thoroughness I now had the tools to fight back.That is also how I know Dr. Food works - because in the first two weeks of the program, before I was taking my thyroid medication, I lost over 20 pounds. So even though I had an undiagnosed condition, which slowed my metabolism, I still lost more weight with Dr. Food than any other diet I have tried before.After I started taking my thyroid medication, I got more energy, my workouts were easier to do, and I lost even more weight with Dr. Food. At the end of my first 12-week program with Dr. Food I lost more than 32 pounds. Iâ??ve never felt this much energy before. Dr. Haque really cares about his patients. His team will check in with you often and make any adjustments necessary to keep the pounds coming off. I feel more of a personal connection with the Dr. Food Team and it helps motivate me. I used to think that being heavy was just in my culture â?? it was in my family and this was just the way I was going to be. But now I know that I can lose the weight and I am convinced that Dr. Haque and his staff can help me overcome any obstacle between my goal and me.
