What is Cryolipolysis fat freezing?

Cryolipolysis, also known as "fat freezing" or by the product name CoolSculpting, is a new procedure that involves the non-invasive cooling of body fat to break down fat cells, resulting in a reduction of body fat without damage to other tissues. The effect takes several months to be seen.

​

During the procedure:

• A vacuum applicator is placed on the skin to bring it into contact with cooling panels.

• Patients feel a cold sensation for a few minutes, as it produces an anesthetic effect.

• The fat is cooled for up to an hour.

Why choose cryolipolysis for excess fat

 

• Ideal candidates are relatively fit but have small amounts of stubborn body fat that cannot be easily reduced by diet or exercise.

• The procedure is non-invasive.

• There are no long-term or significant side effects.

• Anesthesia and pain medication are not needed.

• The procedure is ideal for the abdomen, love handles and the back.
