Freezing fat: Coolsculpting technology to shape the body

What is cryolipolysis?

Often referred to as "CoolSculpting" by patients, cryolipolysis uses low temperatures to break down fat cells and get rid of stubborn fat in targeted areas. Unlike other cell types, fat cells are especially susceptible to the cold, and as fat cells freeze, the skin and posterior structures are left unharmed, making it one of the most popular non-surgical fat loss treatments with minimal discomfort , high patient satisfaction. Clinical studies have shown that cryolipolysis treatments are effective in destroying 20% – 40% of the fat cells in the treated area.

CoolSculpting Program

Cryolipolysis is not a surgery. First, the therapist will locate the body parts that need to be treated, and then put on the antifreeze film and place the working handle. Next, the fat bulge is sucked or suctioned into the hollow opening of the working head. You will feel a pulling sensation when suction is applied. Start treatment about 35 minutes to about an hour. During this time, the procedure destroys approximately 20%-25% of the fat cells in the targeted area. After the treatment, you can leave without affecting your daily life.

Final results may not appear for several months, but you may start to see some changes within a few weeks. During this time, your immune system slowly removes the dead fat cells.
