Cryolipolysis

Also known as CoolSculpting, is a non-invasive procedure that applies cold temperatures to targeted areas with excess fat, helping to reduce fat without surgery. The treatment works by using controlled cooling to freeze and break down fat cells, a process known as lipolysis, without affecting the surrounding tissue.

How Does it Work?

Cryolipolysis works by targeting adipose (fat) tissue with cooling technology that induces fat cell breakdown. As fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other tissues, they are selectively frozen and eliminated by the body over time. Obviously, the result is a noticeable reduction in fat in the treated areas, typically visible after two to four months.

Complementary Treatments

To enhance the effects of Cryolipolysis, it is often combined with treatments such as Cavitation and Radiofrequency. These treatments further aid in fat melting and help tone the skin in the treated area, providing a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Cryolipolysis was discovered by dermatologists Dieter Manstein, MD, PhD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD, of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Their research, published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine in November 2008, demonstrated that fat cells are more susceptible to cooling than surrounding tissues. This discovery, called “selective cryolysis,” led to the development of CoolSculpting technology. The procedure has since become a popular non-invasive alternative to liposuction, offering fat reduction without surgery.

Why Choose Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is ideal for individuals who want to reduce stubborn fat in specific areas without undergoing invasive surgery like liposuction. It’s a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, offering results that improve over time as fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body.
