Cryolipolysis Fat Freezing

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, during which practitioners place a small suction cup on the client’s skin. The device gradually extracts body heat until the subcutaneous fat is frozen. During the procedure, the applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling conditions that have been proven to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of the body.

When fat cells are exposed to precise cooling, it triggers a process of natural removal that gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer for effective fat reduction. Fat cells, according to researchers at Harvard Medical School, are very sensitive to the cold. Intense, localised freezing kills adipocytes – the fat cells involved in forming fat tissue.

Low temperatures bring about fat reduction by damaging the fat cells. The fat cells gradually die and are then naturally metabolized by the lymphatic system. The rate of energy extraction or cooling is controlled during the procedure, resulting in a reduction in fat bulges that is visible in most patients within 2 to 4 months.

The fat cells in the treated area are gradually eliminated through the body’s normal metabolic processes. The only drawback of cryotherapy treatments is that you can’t see the results immediately. It will take a few months for the entire process to be completed, including metabolising dead fat cells. Each treatment lasts about an hour, and a series of 1 to 3 sessions may be required for effective body contouring.
