CRYOLIPOLYSIS (FAT FREEZING)

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis (cryo-li-polysis) is a non-invasive procedure for the reduction of fat that uses a controlled cooling process to destroy the fat cells and reduce their volume.

Cryolipolysis can also be referred to as ‘Cold Lypolysis’, ‘Lipo Freeze’, or ‘Cool Sculpting’. This fat freezing treatment is a non-surgical procedure that is used to freeze your fat cells from localised areas. The revolutionary and advanced cooling technology called ‘Cryo Lipo’ targets and carefully freezes fat cells underneath your skin (this process is called lipolysis).

Cryolipolysis is not intended to treat obesity and should not replace a healthy lifestyle. To maintain results, it is critical to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

What areas of the body can the cryolipolysis treatment be performed on?

This popular treatment can be used for both men and women who want to lose weight from specific areas of the body such as:

Lower & upper abdomen, Hips, Back, Upper Arms, lower arms, forearms, elbow area, outer Thighs, inner thighs, bra or back rolls, upper legs, armpit area, bellybutton area. chest area. Waist area.

• Arms : reduce underarm fat and the appearance of bingo wings
• Chin : break down submental fat in the double chin area
• Stomach / belly fat : break down fat stores that obscure your abdomen and ‘six-pack’ muscles Legs: remove fat across problem-prone areas of your legs, like the banana roll
• Love handles / flanks : redefine and sculpt your love handles by reducing fat stores in this core area
• Thighs: remove fat from your outer thighs inner thighs Bra Fat : reduce the appearance of bra roll fat

• Knee fat : trim fat from your knee area

How does Cryolipolysis Fat Freezing work?

Cryolipolysis is a non invasive procedure that uses cold energy to target and reduce localized areas of stubborn body fat. This non-surgical treatment can be an alternative to liposuction. The process works by using cryogen spray technology, which causes tissue damage at sub freezing temperatures resulting in your unwanted fat cells being destroyed without damaging surrounding tissues or causing any discomfort during recovery. It’s quick, painless and highly effective with no downtime required after treatment.

When the energy is extracted from fat layers, the process causes the fat cells to die gradually while leaving surrounding nerves, muscles, and other tissues unaffected. During the months after treatment, the digested fat cells are sent to the lymphatic system to be filtered out as waste.

What are the steps of cryolipolysis treatment?

To treat the targeted area, the trained aesthetician provider will apply a gel pad and applicator. Targeted fat is cooled using the applicator. Your provider will then move the device over your skin while administering suction and cooling technology to the affected area.

Cryolipolysis treatment itself takes anywhere from 35 to 60 minutes depending on the areas being treated and is a comfortable treatment with many patients able to easily check emails, read or even fall asleep during their non-invasive and effective treatment.

You can see results within days but full recoveries take around 4 weeks depending on how much you lose.
