Removing skin tags is something I've held back on doing for a long time, but really glad that I found Clear Lake Dermatology through one of my daughters. She had a pleasant experience as well as myself. With most of the staff being young, they were all very friendly and professional. The doctor was my favorite as she asked concerning questions about my health, and explained all details of my procedure clearly and concisely, with plenty of empathy and concern for discomfort. The procedure was simple and with minor stinging at the very most. This dermatology office does a lot more than removing skin tags, such as Cool Sculpting, and Botox just to name a couple. I am highly recommending Clear Lake Dermatology, and will return with any other skin issues, if any, in the future. Two thumbs up for the doctors and their team! More
Had a couple of cool sculpting appointments and a few follow ups for photos. Each time I was there, all of the staff were very nice and welcoming. The actual cool sculpting wasn't painful and it was all explained very well for me before the procedure. Highly recommend!! More
I have been going to this practice for a 1 year now. My first treatment was Coolsculpting in my belly area. I was having fat that even with a lot of exercise I couldn’t get rid off. My first provider was great, the results were fantastic. My next treatment was a Coolsculpting in my inner leg. I also did Morpheus 8 body and currently I am having under my eye. Natali is an excellent provider, she always explains me the treatment in detail and has a lot of patience. The front desk is amazing, always with a smile and always willing to find you an appointment that fits your availability. I love this practice and I really recommend it. More
Tired of working out and the diet thing with obvious areas still bugging me. Cool sculpting is painless and hopefully I will get the results I want. My abdomen shows no improvement over the years. A tummy tuck 20 years ago, I still had zero contour in my stomach region. Wanted some definition. Should see results in two months. I will continue with my exercise and diet. More

I've had liposuction many years ago with a breast reduction but decided this time to try Coolsculpting because of not being invasive and no downtime, FDA accepted and I could even drive myself. I'm also an RN. If you're having some anxiety....I had both love handles down first. The only thing that got me was when she put the first one on, I was expecting a slow squeezing and it clamped down fast and hard lol so I kind of winced. But as stated elsewhere, within a couple of minutes it was fine. The other side wasn't as bad since I knew what to expect. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly during this process may help. Strangely the larger abdomen wasn't bad at all. Afterwards there was some redness, of course cold, and some bruising in the love handle areas. The esthetician massages all these areas after the treatment to break up the 'frozen' areas back down, although there will probably be some swelling and slight tenderness to the skin post procedure for a while. You may want to take something over the counter for pain before hand. Afterwards, I took some aleve and went and had a nice dinner before driving home. I knew from reviews to expect some discomfort around 5-7 days post treatment. I did have something sort of like menstrual or gas cramps for a few days around that time. The technician did say to call in if I needed the doctor to call in something stronger but I did not, I just took aleve. I'm now a month post treatment and going to get my second set of treatments next week. I also started wearing a firm compression garment as I did after my liposuction as I think it will help with the shaping. Women are even wearing them post delivery of babies these days for the same reason. I'll also mention toward the end of my love handle treatments I felt a strange horizontal 'tugging' sensation through my abdomen and around the naval but it was just a novelty not uncomfortable. The last eight minutes of the hour treatment the machine massages the area, again not uncomfortable at all. I'm not going to go into results just yet. I will get a set of photos and measurements next week and then probably 8 weeks post the next treatments although she said allow 12 weeks for full results. The cost is for two treatments of each area a month apart. The love handles together count as one and the large abdominal counts as one at this practice. Some practices count small and large. Always ask for promotional rates or rates for more than one area and rates for more than one treatment and mention you saw their info on RealSelf if that is true for a free office consultation and other specials. And read read read reviews and rates for your area before choosing your provider. 5 stars by multiple clients is always a good sign! I hope this answers some questions and alleviates some anxiety about the procedure. More

Treating my lower stomach with Cool Sculpting gave me the motivation I needed to eat healthier and exercise more. I can already see some results and it has only been a week. I treated my lower stomach with 3 large applicators. It took about 3 ½ hours to complete but I brought a book to read and homework to do during the treatment. The staff made sure I felt comfortable by adjusting the seat and placing pillows where needed. There is also cable television in the room. When placing the machine on my belly, I felt a little discomfort from the pulling of my fat into the machine; this discomfort lasted only about 5 minutes. I was explained before hand that when the treatment is done I might experience numbness, soreness and bruising that could last up to 2 weeks. I have experienced all three. It has been a week since, and I am still slightly numb, sore and have light bruising but it has not at all inhibited my daily routine. I was able to go on with my daily activites like normal. I feel my experience at Clear Lake Dermatology was superior and would recommend this office for your Cool Sculpting treatment. I can’t wait to see my after photos! More
My experience with Clearlake Dermatology was outstanding...from the consult to the procedure to post treatment! I was explained throughly what to expect, how it works, when to expect to see results. I've always been insecure about my tummy bulge & found a non-invasive solution to that problem at Clearlake Dermatology! I would 100% recommend Dr. Joe & his staff & CoolSculpting! More

My inner thighs and lack of waist line always bothered me, but I was not ready to go through a surgery. When I heard abut CoolSculpting is offered at Clear Lake Dermatology. I met with Dr.Joe for a free consultation. I was so excited with his knowledge behind the technology. I bought the coolsculpting for my flank areas. After two months of the initial treatment, I was so happy with the result. I bought few more treatments for my waist line and inner thighs. Now, I love my body. More
