How Dr. Flex Works

Step-by-Step

Electromagnetic Pulses

During a Dr. Flex session, a specialized device known as a MagnoFlex applicator is placed on the area of the body you want to treat, such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, or legs (the “target areas”). Depending on the target areas, one or two applicators may be placed on your body at the same time. Once the treatment starts the applicator will emit high-intensity magnetic pulses.

01
02

Intense Supramaximal Muscle Contractions

The rapid and powerful contractions created by Dr. Flex result in micro-tears in the muscle fibers. As the body repairs these micro-tears, it leads to muscle growth and increased muscle mass. This process is similar to the way muscles respond and grow after an intense workout.

Magnetic Pulse Modulation

Your Dr. Flex specialist may adjust the intensity of the magnetic pulses and muscle contractions according to what you can tolerate. Since optimal results requires a series of 4 to 8 Dr. Flex treatments, it is important to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

03
04

Muscle Adaptation

The rapid and powerful contractions created by Dr. Flex result in micro-tears in the muscle fibers. As the body repairs these micro-tears, it leads to muscle growth and increased muscle mass. This process is similar to the way muscles respond and grow after an intense workout.

05

Fat Reduction

In addition to muscle benefits, Dr. Flex sessions can lead to localized fat reduction. The intense muscle contractions stimulate metabolic activity in the treated area, causing fat cells to break down over time. The broken-down fat is then naturally cleared by the body, contributing to a more sculpted appearance.

No Downtime

Dr. Flex is a non-invasive procedure, which means it doesn't require incisions or anesthesia. There's also no downtime or recovery period, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately after a session.

06
07

Multiple Sessions

To achieve optimal results, most individuals typically undergo a series of 4 to 8 Dr. Flex procedures, usually scheduled up to 7 days apart. The exact number of treatments can vary depending on the specific goals and the area being treated.

1

Many of us have stubborn subcutaneous fat that persists even when we eat right and exercise.

2

CoolSculpting precisely freezes and kills these unwanted fat cells without permanently affecting any other tissue.[7][8]

3

With each round of CoolSculpting, 20% to 25% of the targeted fat cells shrink, disintegrate, and eventually disappear.[7][8]

4

8 to 12 weeks after the procedure, your body naturally eliminates the remnants of the dead fat cells leaving you with a slimmer physique.[5][8]

Magnetic Muscle Toning is indicated to be used for improvement of abdominal tone, strengthening of the abdominal muscles, development of firmer abdomen; strengthening, toning, and firming of buttocks, thighs, and calves; and improvement of muscle tone and firmness, for strengthening muscles in arms.

NOTE: Chest treatments with our Hercules® package are Not FDA-cleared.  Nevertheless, Dr. Freeze offers this package as an “off-label treatment” because it has a track-record of delivering positive results for our patients.

Step 1

Schedule a Consultation
This is the easy part. Just give us a call or use the Schedule a Consultation function here on this website and you will hear back from us soon.
To be eligible for CoolSculpting you must:
  • be 18 or older
  • Not be pregnant
  • have NO disqualifying medical conditions such as:
    - Allergy or sensitivity to cold temperatures
    - Cryoglobulinemia
    - Cold agglutinin disease
    - Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
    - A history of Paroxysmal Adipose Hyperplasia
  • Have NO serious medical conditions (e.g. active cancer), or provide us medical-clearance from your primary care provider or specialist that specifically states CoolSculpting is safe for you.
  • have a BMI of less than 30 or be willing to combine CoolSculpting with a professionally-supervised weight loss program
  • have an interest in reducing stubborn pinchable fat from any of the areas Dr. Freeze treats.

Step 2

Initial Consultation
During your first visit, you’ll work with a CoolSculpting specialist to:
  • Discuss your body contouring goals.
  • Determine if you’re a candidate for CoolSculpting.
  • Determine if you’re a candidate for the Physique Hero program.
  • Answer your questions about the procedure.
  • Physically examine the specific bulges of fat you want to target.
  • Identify which Dr. Freeze treatment packages are best suited to meet your goals.
  • Then, after you purchase your Dr. Freeze packages our staff will book your first round of CoolSculpting treatments.
    [Patients typically purchase two Dr. Freeze packages at a total average cost of $5,200]

Step 3

Procedure Day

NO SURGERY. NO ANESTHESIA. MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Your CoolSculpting professional will start by taking photographs to help track your progress, publish potential results achievable with our services, and promote our capabilities.
[Ask your Dr. Freeze team member about the Physique Hero™ program which allows us to share your Dr. Freeze journey with the general public and grants you with desirable perks that are hard to resist.]
Next, your Dr. Freeze specialist will mark the target areas, apply a gel pad to create a barrier between the applicator and your skin, and then place the applicator(s) on your body. As the applicator pulls in targeted skin, you’ll feel a light vacuum pressure.
As the procedure starts, you’ll feel intense cold. Approximately 10 minutes into the treatment, however, the sensation of intense cold will subside as the area being targeted becomes temporarily numb.
Each patient has their own individual sensitivity to cold and discomfort, but most patients do NOT describe the procedure as painful. In fact, most Dr. Freeze patients read, catch up on email, watch TV shows, or even take a nap during the procedure.
At the end of each treatment, the applicator(s) and gel pad(s) are removed. Then each treated area is massaged for about 2 minutes to help break up the fat cells and support the fat reduction process.[3][4][5][6][8][9]
Each treatment takes 35 to 75 minutes to complete (depending on the type of applicator used). During a typical procedure day 2 to 4 areas can be successful treated. Some Dr. Freeze centers offer “dual sculpting” that allows the treatment of two areas simultaneously.

Step 4

Resume Your Daily Activities
There is typically minimal downtime after CoolSculpting. This means you can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Patients often return to work right after CoolSculpting and some even go to the gym later that same day.[3][4][5][6][8][9]

Step 5

Witness Undeniable Results
CoolSculpting results do NOT happen overnight. In fact, the process of naturally eliminating 20-25% of the treated fat cells typically takes 1-3 months.
Since CoolSculpting results occur gradually over time, it is often hard to visually appreciate the subtle day-to-day changes that are slowly enhancing your physique. In fact, some patients who look for changes on a daily basis are unable to fully recognize the magnitude of fat reduction that is evidenced in their before and after pictures. Fortunately, even these patients often comment: “I know it worked, because my clothes fit better!”
Furthermore, patients consistently report a more meaningful and dramatic fat reduction after at least two rounds CoolSculpting. That is why, all Dr. Freeze CoolSculpting packages include at least two rounds of treatment for each targeted body area. Therefore, it is important to remember that the final results of a Dr. Freeze CoolSculpting package are achieved 3 months after the SECOND round of CoolSculpting.
Which brings us to our next step: Re-Treatment
NOTE:

Measuring your waistline is NOT a reliable method to track CoolSculpting results, because the accuracy of such measurements is compromised by the following:
  • From one measurement to another, it is impossible to consistently place the measuring device in the exact same position all the way around your waist.
  • Even a minuscule variation in the position of the measuring device can have a large impact on the measurement.
  • Inhaling and exhaling can have a dramatic effect on waistline measurements.
  • It is impossible to remember or recreate the precise degree of inhalation or exhalation that existed during the original measurement.
  • The constantly varying amount of bloating, amount of stool in a person’s bowels, and amount of urine is a person’s bladder can dramatically change waistline measurements.
  • To state something that should be painfully obvious to everyone: it is impossible know or recreate the precise level of bloating (if any), stool retention, and urine retention that existed when the original measurement was taken.

Step 6

Procedure Day - Round 2
All Dr. Freeze CoolSculpting packages include TWO rounds of treatment for a more meaningful transformation.
The second round of CoolSculpting is usually performed 8 to 12 weeks after the initial treatments. Patients who want accelerated results may request their second round of CoolSculpting as early as 6 weeks after the initial treatments.
At the start of your round 2 procedure day, our CoolSculpting specialists often take photographs to track the results from the initial treatments.
The rest of the procedure day will go as expected: (i) your Dr. Freeze specialist will mark the target areas, (ii) apply a gel pad to create a barrier between the applicator and your skin, and (iii) then place the applicator(s) on your body. As the applicator pulls in targeted skin, you’ll feel a light vacuum pressure.
As the procedure starts, you’ll feel intense cold. Approximately 10 minutes into the treatment, however, the sensation of intense cold will subside as the area being targeted becomes temporarily numb.
At conclusion of your procedure day, you will schedule a follow-up appointment 8 to 12 weeks out.

Step 7

Round 2 Follow up

[8-12 weeks after the second round of CoolSculpting]

During this appointment our specialists may offer to take photographs to track the final results you achieved after the second round of CoolSculpting.
This follow-up session is also an opportunity to:
  1. Discuss sharing your Dr. Freeze experience with the public by enrolling in our Physique Hero™ program. Being a Physique Hero comes with perks that are worth considering.
  2. Discuss your future physique enhancement goals. Are there other body areas you want to target with CoolSculpting?
  3. Schedule your annual Physique Touch Ups™ session.

Step 8

Annual Physique Touch Ups
First, let us get one thing straight: the fat cells killed and eliminated with CoolSculpting are gone for good. It is important to acknowledge, however, that over time the remaining fat cells may become larger, particularly with significant weight gain. Furthermore, your body does produce new fat cells some of which may be deposited in the body area you targeted with CoolSculpting.
So, for any of our patients who have gain 10 pounds during the holidays, or gone through prolonged period of stress-eating, we created our Physique Touch Ups. With these annual sessions, Dr. Freeze re-targets the body areas we previously treated with CoolSculpting to help revitalize any results you have lost over the previous year.
Members of our Physique Hero program can purchase Physique Touch Ups at special pricing.

  4. Sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental area treatment
There are other side effects that can happen with submental and submandibular area treatments (under the chin/double chin treatments):
  1. Cold exposure to the hypoglossal nerve may cause tongue deviation following treatment of the submental and submandibular areas.
  2. Cold exposure to the marginal mandibular nerve may cause lower lip weakness following treatment of the submental and submandibular areas.
  3. Cold exposure to the submandibular gland may cause dry mouth or decrease in saliva production following treatment of the submental and submandibular areas.

Rare Side Effects

The following side effects can happen in the treatment area, during and after a CoolSculpting treatment. The risk for the side effects listed below is small, but possible. We have provided estimates for how likely it is that you could have a certain side effect. These are listed in the parentheses below.
  1. Paradoxical hyperplasia: [About 1 out of 3,000 treatments, 0.033%]
    The gradual development of a visibly enlarged tissue volume, of varying size and shape, in the treatment area two to five months after the treatment. This is distinguished from temporary swelling and will not resolve on its own. Surgical intervention may be required.
  2. Severe pain: [About 1 out of 6,000 treatments, 0.017%]
    Patients may experience pain of varying severity, which more commonly can be described as mild to moderate, and in rare instances, can be severe.
  3. Late-onset pain: [About 1 out of 6,000 treatments, 0.017%]
    A typical onset several days after a treatment and resolution within several weeks.

Very Rare Side Effects

The following side effects can happen in the treatment area, during and after a CoolSculpting treatment. The risk for the side effects listed below is very small, but possible. We have provided estimates for how likely it is that you could have a certain side effect. These are listed in the parentheses below.
  1. Hyperpigmentation: [About 1 out of 11,000 treatments, 0.009%]
    Dark coloration of the skin may happen after treatment. Typically, it resolves spontaneously.
  2. Freeze burn (“frostbite”): [About 1 out of 15,000 treatments, 0.006%]
    First- and second-degree freeze burn which may happen during treatment. It typically resolves without additional side effects with proper care.
  3. Treatment Area Demarcation (TAD): [About 1 out of 20,000 treatments, 0.005%]
    An aesthetic outcome of treatment in which the patient experiences excessive fat removal in the treatment area, resulting in a visible disruption to the continuous contour of fat, or unwanted indentation in the treated area.
  4. Vasovagal symptoms: [About 1 out of 30,000 treatments, 0.003%]
    Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, flushing, sweating, or fainting might happen during or immediately after the treatment.
  5. Subcutaneous induration: [About 1 out of 30,000 treatments, 0.003%]
    Generalized hardness and/or discrete nodules within the treatment area, which can develop after the treatment and be accompanied by pain and/or discomfort.
  6. Cold panniculitis: [About 1 out of 60,000 treatments, 0.002%]
    Cold panniculitis results from injury to adipose tissue exposed to cold and may result in a mild to severe inflammatory response. In mild cases, the symptoms are self-resolving and may include redness, swelling, skin nodules, warmth, tenderness, and possible low-grade fever. These cases typically resolve without long-term side effects. In more severe cases, an intense inflammatory response may result in more extensive tissue damage, including fat tissue death, which may require medical or surgical intervention.
  7. Hernia: [About 1 out of 185,000 treatments, 0.001%]
    Treatment may cause new hernia formation or worsen preexisting hernia, which may require surgical repair.

Step 1

Schedule a Consultation
This is the easy part. Just give us a call or use the Schedule a Consultation function here on this website and you will hear back from us soon.
To be eligible for DR. FLEX you must:
  • be 18 or older
  • Not be pregnant
  • have NO disqualifying medical conditions such as:
    - Electrical or Electronic implanted devices such as pacemakers, implanted hearing devices, implanted defibrillators, implanted neurostimulators, implanted drug pumps, or unremovable hearing aids placed ANYWHERE in your body
    - A metal implant or metal device positioned within 12 inches from the treatment area

Schedule a Consultation

Step 2

Initial Consultation
During your first visit, you’ll work with a specialist to:
  • Discuss your physique enhancement goals
  • Determine if you’re a candidate for Dr. Flex
  • Determine if you’re a candidate for the Physique Hero program
  • Answer your questions about the procedure
  • Physically examine the specific body areas you want to target.
  • Identify which treatment packages are best suited to meet your goals.
  • Then, after you purchase your packages, our staff will book your first round of treatments. [Patients typically purchase four to eight Dr. Flex treatments at a total average cost of $2,800 to $5,600]

Step 3

Procedure Day

NO SURGERY. NO ANESTHESIA. MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Your Dr. Flex professional may start by taking photographs to help track your progress, publish potential results achievable with our services, and promote our capabilities.
[Ask our team about the Physique Hero program which allows us to share your Dr. Flex journey with the public and grants you desirable perks that are hard to resist.]
Next, your specialist will strap one or two applicators on your body depending on the size and location of the treatment areas. For example, treatments targeting the arms, buttocks, and legs typically require two MagnoFlex applicators, whereas treatments targeting the abs typically require only one applicator.
As the procedure starts, you’ll feel intense contractions from the targeted muscles. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes into the treatment, however, the perceived intensity of the contractions will subside as your mind acclimates to strength of the contractions the targeted muscles are experiencing.
As the perceived intensity of the contractions diminish, your specialist may ask you if it is ok to increase the intensity of magnetic pulses which in turn will result in even stronger contractions from the targeted muscle.
You should only agree to such an increase in intensity if you are comfortably tolerating the procedure. Dr. Flex will feel distinct and more intense than body building at the gym, but this procedure is NOT supposed to be a painful experience. Therefore, if the contractions you experience during a Dr. Flex treatment are painful, you should request your specialist to dial down the intensity.
For example, during the procedure your specialist may ask you to rate the level of discomfort or pain associated with contractions from 1 to 10 with 10 being painful or unbearable and 1 being little to no discomfort. If you rate the discomfort/pain level at 5 or more, you can opt to decrease the intensity of the magnetic pulses. Conversely if you rate the discomfort level at a 1, you may want to increase the intensity of the contractions until you arrive at a discomfort rating of 3-4 out of 10.
Each patient has their own individual sensitivity to Dr. Flex’s magnetic pulses and the intense muscular contractions they create, but most patients do NOT describe the procedure as painful. In fact, most Dr. Flex patients relax or watch TV shows during the procedure. NOTE: We strongly advise all our patients to NOT use or wear any electronic devices during the Dr. Flex procedure as the strong magnetic pulses emanating from the MagnoFlex applicator and the Dr. Flex device may permanently damage your device, for which we cannot be held responsible.
At the end of each treatment, the applicator(s) are removed.
Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. During a typical procedure day 2 to 4 areas can be successfully treated.

Step 4

Resume Your Daily Activities
There is typically minimal downtime after a Dr. Flex treatment session. This means you can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Patients often return to work right after their Dr. Flex procedure and some even go to the gym later that same day.

Step 5

Witness Undeniable Results
For optimal Dr. Flex results you will need to complete a series of four treatments that are typically performed 5-10 days apart. Some patients who want more significant muscle growth can opt for a second series of four Dr. Flex procedures that can start 2-4 weeks after completing the first series of procedures.
Since Dr. Flex results occur gradually over the course of a series of procedures, it is often hard to visually appreciate the subtle day-to-day changes that are slowly enhancing your physique. In fact, some patients who look for changes on a daily basis are unable to fully recognize the magnitude of muscle growth that is evidenced in their before and after pictures. Fortunately, even these patients often comment: “I know it worked, because I feel stronger!”
Since Dr. Flex results require the patient to complete a series of four procedures, all Dr. Flex packages include at least four rounds of treatment for each targeted body area.
Which bring us to our next step: Re-Treatment
NOTE:

Measuring your waistline is NOT a reliable method to track abdominal physique enhancement, because the accuracy of such measurements is compromised by the following:
  • From one measurement to another, it is impossible to consistently place the measuring device in the exact same position all the way around your waist
  • Even a very small variation in the position of the measuring device can have a large impact on the measurement

Step 6

Procedure Day - Follow up sessions
All Dr. Flex packages include at least FOUR rounds of treatment.
Follow-up rounds of Dr. Flex are usually performed 5 to 10 days after the proceeding treatment session.
Follow-up treatments will go as expected: (i) your specialist will strap one or two MagnoFlex applicators on the treatment area(s), and (ii) during the 30 min procedure, you’ll feel intense contractions from the targeted muscles.
The perceived intensity of the contractions will subside approximately 5 to 10 minutes into the treatment as your mind acclimates to the strong contractions emanating from the targeted muscles. As this occurs, your specialist may ask you if it is ok to increase the intensity of magnetic pulses which in turn will result in even stronger contractions from the targeted muscle.
You should only agree to such an increase in intensity if you are comfortably tolerating the procedure. Dr. Flex will feel distinct and more intense than body building at the gym, but this procedure is NOT supposed to be a painful experience. Therefore, if the contractions you experience during a Dr. Flex treatment are painful, you should request your specialist to dial down the intensity.
At conclusion of procedure, patients will often schedule their next a follow-up Dr. Flex session 5 to 10 days out.
Patients who want even more significant results may purchase an additional series of four Dr. Flex procedures that can be started as early as 2 weeks after the proceed series treatments have been completed.

Step 7

Follow up

[4-8 weeks after completing the series of four Dr. Flex treatments]

During this appointment our specialists may offer to take photographs to track the results you achieved with Dr. Flex.
This follow-up session is also an opportunity to:
  1. Discuss sharing your Dr. Flex experience with the public by enrolling in our Physique Hero™ program. Being a Physique Hero comes with perks that are worth considering.
  2. Discuss your future physique enhancement goals. Are there other body areas you want to target or other services you want to try (e.g. Dr. Freeze or Dr. Vigor)?
  3. Schedule your annual Physique Touch Ups™ session.

Step 8

Maintain your gains with Physique Touch Ups
Over time the muscle gains you achieved with Dr. Flex may fade.
So, for patients who want to maintain their enhanced muscle strength and tone, we created our Physique Touch Ups.  With these sessions, we re-target the body areas we previously treated with Dr. Flex to help revitalize any results you have lost over time.
Members of our Physique Hero program can purchase Physique Touch Ups at special pricing.

Possible Dr. Flex Side Effects

Possible Dr. Flex Side Effects

The following effects can occur in the treatment area during and after a magnetic muscle toning procedure. These effects are temporary and generally resolve withindays or weeks.
  1. Muscular Pain: Discomfort, soreness, or pain in the targeted muscles several hours after the procedure. Typically, such muscular pain subsides in several days.
  2. Temporary Muscle Spasm: Involuntary spasmodic muscle contractions several hours after the procedure. These muscle spasms typically subside in several days.
  3. Temporary joint or tendon pain: Feeling of discomfort or pain in the joint or tendon several hours after a procedure. This side effect typically subsides in several days.
  4. Local erythema or skin redness: Red skin at the treatment area several days after a procedure. This side effect typically subsides in several days.

Possible Rare Dr. Flex Side Effects

Although rare, Magnetic Muscle Strengthening can cause tears or damage to the targeted muscles and any connected tendons and bones.

Dr. Flex Cautions and Considerations

Dr. Flex is a medical procedure that uses magnetic pulses to enhance, strengthen, and tone muscles. The following is NOT a comprehensive list of Dr. Flex cautions, clinical considerations, and/or contraindications. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if magnetic muscle toning is right for you.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used near your heart. Therefore, this procedure should NOT be used to enhance or strengthen your chest muscles such as the pectoralis major.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used in patients with a history of cardiac arrythmias, heart attack, or other heart problems.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used on patients with a history of seizure disorders such as epilepsy.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used on or over the head areas, the neck, the carotid sinus nerves, or mouth.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used on patients with hemorrhagic conditions, active bleeding disorders, and/or a history of blood clots or thrombophilia.
  • The DR. FLEX procedure should NOT be performed ANYWHERE on a patient who has implanted electrical or electronic devices. Examples of implanted electronic devices that would disqualify a patient for any magnetic muscle toning procedure include pacemakers, implanted hearing devices, implanted defibrillators, implanted neurostimulators, implanted drug pumps, or unremovable hearing aids regardless of where they have been implanted in your body. This is an absolute contraindication that should NOT be overcome, overruled, or negated even with written clearance by a healthcare professional or by a waiver or release of liability signed by the patient.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used within 12 inches of a metal implant.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used within 12 inches of Intrauterine Device (IUD) for birth control unless the patient has provided written documentation from a qualified healthcare provider that confirms the IUD has absolutely NO metal components. So, if you have an IUD, you CANNOT have DR. FLEX treatments on the abdomen, buttocks, or inner thigh.
  • Woman should consider avoiding DR. FLEX treatments over a menstruating uterus. Furthermore, women who are close to menstruation may find that it comes sooner, or cramping is increased or intensified with DR. FLEX abdominal treatments. Therefore, it is recommended to not undergo DR. FLEX treatments targeting the abs during this time of the month.
  • DR. FLEX should NOT be used over areas of the skin that lack normal sensation.
  • DR. FLEX treatments should NOT be applied over swollen, infected, inflamed areas or skin eruptions.
