Cryolipolysis (Fat Loss)
Extreme non-invasive & painless weightloss ...
Cryolipolysis, commonly known as “fat freezing,” is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localised fat deposits by using controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells. The most popular brand name for this treatment is CoolSculpting, but there are other devices and brands that perform similar functions.
How Cryolipolysis Works:
Targeted Cooling: A specialised applicator is placed on the area of the body where fat reduction is desired. The device cools the targeted fat cells to a specific temperature, which freezes the fat without harming the surrounding tissues such as skin, muscles, or nerves.
Fat Cell Destruction: The cooling process causes fat cells (adipocytes) to undergo apoptosis—a natural form of cell death. The fat cells crystallise and are then broken down by the body.
Natural Elimination: Over the following weeks to months, the body’s lymphatic system gradually processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells from the treated area. This results in a reduction of fat in the treated area.
Benefits of Cryolipolysis:
- Non-Invasive: No surgery, needles, or anaesthesia are required.
- Minimal Downtime: Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
- Targeted Fat Reduction: Ideal for addressing stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks (love handles), back, and under the chin.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed and removed, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining results requires a stable weight since the remaining fat cells can expand if significant weight is gained.
What areas can Cryolipolysis target?
Cryolipolysis can be used to target a variety of areas where stubborn fat tends to accumulate. These are often areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. The most common areas that can be targeted with Cryolipolysis include:
- Abdomen: Ideal for reducing fat in the belly area, particularly the lower abdomen where fat often persists.
- Flanks (Love Handles): Targets fat on the sides of the waist, helping to sculpt a more defined waistline.
- Thighs: Both the inner and outer thighs can be treated to reduce excess fat and improve the overall contour of the legs.
- Back: Addresses fat on the upper and lower back, including the area under the bra line for women.
- Upper Arms: Reduces fat in the upper arms, which can help minimise the appearance of “bingo wings” or sagging.
- Double Chin (Submental Area): Targets fat under the chin to reduce the appearance of a double chin and improve the jawline.
- Buttocks (Banana Roll): The area underneath the buttocks can be treated to reduce the appearance of fat rolls and improve contour.
- Knees: Reduces excess fat around the knees, enhancing the appearance of the lower legs.
Cryolipolysis is versatile and can be customised to target these specific areas, making it an effective solution for body contouring. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the most suitable areas for treatment based on your individual needs and goals.
Considerations:
- Multiple Sessions: Some individuals may require more than one session to achieve their desired results, depending on the amount of fat and the treatment area.
- Side Effects: Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few days to weeks.
- Results Over Time: Results are not immediate and typically become noticeable over 2 to 4 months as the body metabolises the dead fat cells.
Cryolipolysis is a popular option for those looking to contour their body and reduce stubborn fat areas without undergoing invasive surgery. However, it is not a weight-loss solution and is best suited for those who are already at or near their ideal body weight but have specific areas of fat they wish to reduce.
