Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis (also known as CoolSculpting tm) is the most popular non-invasive and painless method for removing fat deposits from problematic areas of the body in the United States. It helps our bodies reduce fat in areas such as the abdomen, hips, and back. Despite efforts to reduce fat through proper diet and exercise, additional methods are often needed. Cryolipolysis comes into play as it aids in body contouring.

This globally recognized and advanced method is based on targeted freezing of fat cells without affecting the skin, nerves, or surrounding tissues. After freezing, fat cells are eliminated through resorption and natural metabolic processes in the body. The treatment results are equally beneficial for both women and men, with an expected 25% reduction in fat tissue after the first treatment.

The effectiveness of this treatment is based on the fact that fat cells are sensitive to cold and can be specifically targeted for destruction. When exposed to cold temperatures, fat cells crystallize and gradually release fat. The process starts by slowly damaging the fat cell membrane, causing it to rupture. Within less than an hour, patients begin to lose fat deposits.

How is cryolipolysis performed?

During the cryolipolysis treatment, the patient sits in a comfortable position while the Z LIpo device treats the area with fat deposits. The skin and fatty tissue in the treated area are suctioned into a specially designed thermodynamic vacuum applicator, allowing for targeted therapy where most fat cells are located. The freezing of fat cells, scientifically known as cryolipolysis, leads to their destruction. These cells are later safely and naturally metabolized by the body.

Care is taken to maintain a comfortable temperature for the skin during the treatment, so the patient experiences minimal discomfort. The temperature at which the fat cells are frozen typically reaches as low as minus eight degrees Celsius. The total duration of the treatment is about an hour. Metabolism is locally accelerated in the treated areas, and the body continues to naturally eliminate the remaining fat deposits over the next one to three months through the lymphatic system and liver.

Which areas can be treated with cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis can be performed on various parts of the body, with some of the most common areas being:

– Love handles (above the hips)
– Front of the abdomen
– Front, back, and inner thighs
– Back of the arms
– Gluteal region
– Lumbar region
– Under the chin

Results and frequency of cryolipolysis treatments

Initial results can be noticed after three weeks, with full results becoming visible after three months. In terms of specific centimeters lost, the reduction typically ranges from 3 to 8 cm in circumference. It’s important to note that the body does not produce new fat cells after the treatment. Therefore, the fat cells destroyed during the treatment cannot return. However, if the patient continues to consume more calories than necessary, the volume of remaining fat cells can increase. As a result, the treatment’s effect may be diminished, emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

The number of treatments varies individually depending on the amount of fat deposits the patient has. Those who exercise regularly but struggle to eliminate fat in specific areas may require only 2-3 treatments. For less physically active individuals, multiple treatments may be necessary, with an average of 4 to 6 sessions. Between two treatments, a period of four to five weeks is recommended to allow the body to naturally eliminate fat cells effectively.

Who is cryolipolysis suitable for?

Cryolipolysis is intended for patients of all ages who want to achieve their ideal body shape with the help of a device that sculpts their body. It is not meant to be the sole solution for weight issues, but rather an aid alongside a healthy diet and exercise routine. Therefore, it is an excellent option for those who struggle to remove stubborn fat deposits through diet and regular exercise. However, it is essential to know that this treatment is not intended for severely obese individuals who aim to reduce overall weight. It is best suited for those with a healthy body mass.

If you suspect any health issues that might interfere with the treatment or have any concerns regarding cryolipolysis, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our doctors to get all the necessary answers to your questions.

Benefits of cryolipolysis

This treatment is entirely safe and non-invasive, offering long-lasting results. As an alternative to surgical liposuction, cryolipolysis achieves excellent results without pain or health risks. Over a three-month period, the patient will permanently lose up to 27% of their fat cells, which will not return. Additionally, this treatment leaves no scars, marks, or similar effects, unlike some other methods.

Are there any side effects of cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis does not leave scars or wounds. During the treatment, patients may feel a slight burning, tingling, tightening, and mild cold sensation. Apart from these minor discomforts, the treatment is virtually painless, with occasional and mild side effects such as redness, mild swelling, skin sensitivity, or bruising. All side effects typically disappear within a few hours or days.
