Like necessity, sometimes experience is the mother of invention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Casey Whitney, a registered nurse, might have never opened the new Dynamix Body Solutions Studio were it not for her less than stellar visit two years ago to another service provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was having a lot of trouble losing weight from my fourth kid\u2014then somebody mentioned Cool-Sculpting to me,\u201d she said. <\/span><\/p>\n

That proprietary nonsurgical fat-freezing procedure, the only technique of its kind to be cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, had been making its way into the body-sculpting industry for a few years\u2014but Whitney found the associated customer service to be almost as cold as the high-tech applicators attached to her body.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was one technician, who was not trained medically at all,\u201d the businesswoman recalled. \u201cEvery time she got a phone call, she had to leave. She left the applicators on longer than they should be on. They didn\u2019t have pillows or a blanket. I had to walk to the elevator to get to the bathroom. When I left, they handed me a bag of chips.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Since lighting the new Dynamix in Centennial six months ago, Whitney has striven to ensure that her own studio\u2019s customer experience is more dynamite than mix-up. If the equipment is to be state of the art, she figured, so should the service levels. <\/span><\/p>\n

For one, clients get undivided attention from two trained specialists\u2014graduates of CoolSculpting University in Pleasanton, Calif., no less. A dietician and medical doctor are also part of the studio\u2019s part-time staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople say how much better they feel here. It\u2019s because of our staff. We hand-select people and that\u2019s very important,\u201d Whitney said, noting Dynamix\u2019s rare use of multiple treatments conducted simultaneously. \u201cYou just kind of lay back\u2014we have Netflix.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Such appointments also include a free trip to the studio\u2019s Netflix-equipped infrared dry sauna.<\/span><\/p>\n

And as for that bag of chips on the way out\u2014Dynamix clients get a complimentary lunch from the studio\u2019s neighboring Mad Greens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamix specializes in CoolSculpting, a popular noninvasive high-tech way to freeze fat cells, the only technique of its kind to be cleared by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

CoolSculpting, an increasingly popular body-sculpting technique is not just known for its \u201ccoolness.\u201d The procedure literally uses \u201ccold\u201d to kill fat. The machine invented by a Harvard scientist was based on the simplest of scientific observations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey realized kids were getting dimples from sucking on Popsicles in the summer,\u201d Whitney said. \u201cThey realized the cold was actually freezing fat cells, killing them. The effect is fewer inches and a smaller sculpted body. I had always been a little bit self-conscious, but I got the CoolSculpting done, it changed the shape of my body. People noticed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The result, the nurse says, is something physical trainers have said for years was impossible\u2014the spot reduction of fat in select problem areas of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people say it\u2019s kind of relaxing,\u201d she said, noting the ad hoc ways some people have tried to get the same results less effectively. \u201cThere are people who have tried to freeze their fat by sitting in a tub of ice\u2014you can go on YouTube.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Other more conventional treatments available at Dynamix include temporary cellulite reduction through what is called the Z Wave machine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a jackhammer, but it actually feels really good,\u201d Whitney said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamix similarly offers skin tightening through something called micro-needling, which the nurse says is not as scary as it sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe create little holes in the face and it creates collagen production, so it will fill in wrinkles, as well as acne scars,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are 12 microneedles in the pen and we rub it across the face. I don\u2019t feel it at all when it happens to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the studio offers a wide range of services, the owner stresses that the products are not for everyone and says she sometimes turns down business when she does not think the client would see any benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"dynamix-box\"\u201cWe\u2019re very realistic. This is not a life changer in and of itself,\u201d Whitney said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to have to change your diet. You\u2019re going to have to continue to exercise. I would say 90 percent of our clients are very healthy already. They just have problem areas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The client base is about 80 percent women.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a studio sitting on the cusp of technological advance, Whitney expects new and improved services in the months and years ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are constantly evaluating new technology,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention old habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever I want to define my cheek, I suck on Popsicles,\u201d Whitney said with a laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
