Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing or CoolSculpting, is an approved nonsurgical fat reduction procedure. This modern, non-invasive form of body contouring is popular with women and men.
Unlike liposuction, a surgical, expensive, and invasive procedure to remove fat tissue, the fat freezing technique is based on research findings that fat cells are more susceptible to damage from cold temperatures. Cold temperature triggers an inflammatory response by the body, which results in the death of the fat cells.
By using cold temperature, we reduce smaller fat deposits in your upper arms, inner and outer thighs, abdomen, hips, and lower back. The treatment is ideal for men and women who are close to their normal weight yet battle to lose fat even if they exercise and follow a healthy diet.
Apart from not being more than 10 kilos overweight, we first determine if the fat freezing procedure is the best solution for you. During your initial consultation we check for contra-indications like varicose veins, cold induced conditions, dermatitis, open sores, and a few other conditions. You will know exactly what to expect during and after the fat freeze procedure.
The average fat reduction is between 15 and 28 percent. Within 3 weeks from the first treatment clients notice mild fat loss results with more dramatic changes 6 to 8 weeks after. For best fat reduction results, most men and women would need 2 to 3 fat freezing treatments, 6 weeks apart. Some side effects may include short-term bruising or skin sensitivity which usually disappears within weeks. There is usually little to no recovery period.
The first non-invasive real alternative to fat reduction surgery. Even if you exercise regularly and follow a healthy diet and lifestyle, it can be hard to lose fat around the upper arms, waist, bottom, hips, and thighs. This becomes even harder as you get older.
