3 4 PROSPECTIVE PATIENT MESSAGING PROSPECTIVE PATIENT MESSAGING CONT. 5 Does your office offer CoolSculpting?» Yes, we ve had incredible interest in CoolSculpting since we first started offering the procedure [last month, six months ago, last year, etc.]! I d be happy to schedule a consultation with you and [insert physician name]. He/she can answer all of your questions and determine if you are a good candidate for losing stubborn fat with CoolSculpting. Do mornings or afternoons work better for you? [If the practice is certified, it would be great to drop this and identify itself as a certified CoolSculpting Center.] Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?» CoolSculpting is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, or a substitute for surgical methods such as liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they d like to get rid of. [Insert physician name] will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation. What are the specific areas of the body that are being treated with CoolSculpting?» CoolSculpting may be performed on multiple body areas. During your consultation, [insert physician name] will be able to determine your treatment plan based on your assessment. THE MAIN COOLSCULPTING MESSAGE What is CoolSculpting? Can you tell me more about it?» CoolSculpting is a breakthrough, non-invasive procedure that uses cooling technology to noticeably eliminate fat without surgery. [Insert physician name] will determine if you are a good candidate and work with you to determine the best treatment plan during a one-on-one consultation. IT ALL BEGAN WITH NOT-SO-CHUBBY CHEEKS CoolSculpting is the safe, non-invasive way to reduce fat in common trouble areas that tend to be dietand exercise-resistant. Researchers at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, developed the patented technology behind CoolSculpting that cools fat and destroys fat cells, resulting in an undeniable reduction of fat in the treated areas. What happens during the procedure?» Using a technology developed by Harvard scientists, CoolSculpting targets and freezes fat cells causing their natural death in the treatment area. It s completely non-invasive so there is no cutting, no needles and no anesthesia. Patients typically read, work on their laptops, listen to music or relax during the procedure. Is CoolSculpting safe? Painful? Are there side effects?» CoolSculpting is medically cleared for the flanks and proven safe. Some patients may experience temporary pain or discomfort. [Insert physician name] can talk to you more about what to expect during and after treatment when you meet for your consultation. How long is each treatment?» During your consultation, [insert physician name] will discuss how much time should be allotted based on your individual treatment plan. A typical treatment can last between one and three hours. How much does CoolSculpting cost? How many treatments will I need?» The price for CoolSculpting varies, depending on your areas of concern, the number of treatments needed and your ultimate goals. [Insert physician name] would need to assess you in person to help estimate the cost. [Reference any discounts/specials if appropriate.] Typically, you ll see a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area after one visit, but you may appreciate even more fat reduction with additional treatments. Are CoolSculpting results permanent? How long do results last?» CoolSculpting results are lasting, as long as you maintain your healthy lifestyle. The fat cells that are eliminated from CoolSculpting do not return. HERE S THE SKINNY ON COOLSCULPTING The revolutionary technology behind CoolSculpting was born from the simple observation that children who ate a lot of popsicles had dimpling in their cheeks due to a loss of fat from the excessive exposure to cold. This idea led to the innovative cooling process developed by scientists at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. As we age, we all store fat in certain areas that just won t go away. CoolSculpting is a proven, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that freezes stubborn fat, which is then naturally eliminated from your body. No needles, no special diet, no supplements, no surgery. And most importantly, no recovery period. CoolSculpting is safe, medically-cleared and does exactly what it s supposed to do. Treatment works best on those who enjoy a healthy lifestyle, but can t seem to shake those pockets of fat in problem areas. Backed by clinical data, CoolSculpting delivers undeniable, life-changing results in as little as one treatment. With more than 230,000 treatments performed worldwide, CoolSculpting is proven safe and effective for getting you back the body you deserve. IT S TIME TO SHOW OFF THE BODY YOU DESERVE AND GET RID OF STUBBORN FAT.

4 CONSULTATION GUIDELINES How do I know which applicator to use? 7 Assess the patient A proper assessment is crucial to the success of CoolSculpting outcomes. When assessing the patient, remember that a good vacuum draw will allow maximum tissue exposure to the cooling panels 2 The ez App is appropriate for fitting tightly curved contours The ez App treats the same amount of tissue as the, but it is designed for small to medium bulges 2 3 The ez App 8 is typically used for large sections or bulges» Talk to your patient about their medical history to ensure no contraindications» Ask them how they heard about CoolSculpting» Educate your patient on what to expect before, during and after a CoolSculpting procedure 3 4 Applicator Planning Templates» Color coded planning templates are included with your applicators and help you mark your patient for optimal treatment planning Liners and Gelpads» These match up with the series-specific applicator and are required for every treatment Consumable Cards» A series-specific cycle card that is inserted into the applicator to start treatment» Ask your patient to stand so that the fat is subject to gravity» Ensure that patient clothing is not affecting the assessment area» Ask patients to touch and identify their problem areas and visually confirm if a bulge is present 5» Assess the treatment area by pulling fat away from the body forming a C shape with your hands. This will help you determine if the patient is a good candidate by assessing how much tissue can be drawn into the applicator cup 6 EXAMPLE OF A GOOD TISSUE DRAW This is critical to optimal treatment outcomes. Cooling Panel Tissue Draw The more contact tissue has with the cooling panels, the more fat we can cool.

The suction pressure may cause sensations of deep pulling, tugging and pinching. You may also experience intense stinging, tingling, aching or cramping as the treatment begins. These sensations generally subside as the area becomes numb. Initial:» Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may look or feel stiff and transient blanching (temporary whitening of the skin) may occur. You may feel a sense of nausea or dizziness as your body naturally warms and sensation returns to your treatment area. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within minutes. Initial:» Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur in the treated area. In addition, the treated area may appear red for a few hours after the applicator is removed. Initial:» You may feel a dulling of sensation in the treated area that can last for several weeks after your procedure. Other changes including deep itching, tingling, numbness, tenderness to the touch, pain in the treated area, strong cramping, muscle spasms, aching and/or soreness also have been reported after a CoolSculpting treatment. Initial:» Patient experiences will differ. Some patients may experience a delayed onset of the previously mentioned occurrences. You should contact your physician immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.

BEFORE AFTER Photo courtesy of Meridian Plastic Surgeons EXAMPLE I feel confident in a two-piece bathing suit for the first time in years. CoolSculpting is probably one of the best things I ve ever done for myself. - Sara COOLSCULPTING MESSAGING: BUTTER ANALOGY Our technology is built upon the fact that fat freezes at a higher temperature than our other water containing cells, a principle that is illustrated in our refrigerators. Follow-up Medical Assessment 2 3 If we leave a stick of butter out at room temperature it is soft and easy to spread. If we take that same stick of butter and put in the refrigerator it becomes hard and rigid, just like the fat that we see when we remove our CoolSculpting applicator. This is because the lipid molecules within the fat cells crystallize. Like our fat, butter responds differently to cooling than anything else in the fridge (or our bodies).» Weigh the patient and record in the Treatment Planning Form» Take post-treatment photos using the original photos as a reference for consistency» Patient should be wearing the same clothes as pre-treatment photos» Discuss the patient experience to-date HOW COOLSCULPTING WORKS Through CoolSculpting, fat and overlying skin are placed between two cooling metal plates using a vacuum applicator 3 Following treatment, fat cells enter apoptic death sequence and are gradually removed in the next few weeks and months by the immune system CoolSculpting targets and cools fat cells to temperatures that trigger fat cell apoptosis. Lipids in fat crystallize at a warmer temperature than water in other cell types 4 Fat layer thickness is significantly reduced» Compare pre- and postprocedure photos with the patient» Reassess the treatment area and determine if additional treatments are needed for the desired outcome» Look for additional treatment opportunities for enhanced outcomes» Congratulate the patient on their successful completion of CoolSculpting
