What is cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment for the targeted reduction of fat deposits in certain areas of the body. In this method, fat cells are specifically cooled by the effect of cold, causing them to gradually break down and be eliminated naturally by the body.
-
How does a cryolipolysis device work?
A cryolipolysis device uses special applicators that gently suck in the skin and underlying fatty tissue. Controlled cold is applied to the selected areas, resulting in hypothermia of the fat cells. The surrounding tissue remains undamaged, as fat cells are more sensitive to lower temperatures than other cells.
-
Which areas can be treated with cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis can be applied to various areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back, double chin and other stubborn fat deposits.
-
Is the cryolipolysis treatment painful?
During cryolipolysis treatment, patients may feel an initial cold sensation and a slight pulling or tingling sensation when the skin is sucked in. However, this discomfort usually disappears quickly as the treated area gradually becomes numb.
-
How long does a cryolipolysis treatment take?
The duration of a cryolipolysis treatment depends on the size and number of areas to be treated. As a rule, a session lasts around 30 to 60 minutes.
-
How many treatments are required for optimal results?
The number of treatments required depends on the individual goals and the amount of fat tissue to be reduced. As a rule, several sessions at intervals of a few weeks are recommended to achieve optimal results.
-
Is there any downtime after a cryolipolysis treatment?
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive treatment that usually requires no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
-
Are the results of cryolipolysis permanent?
Yes, the results achieved with cryolipolysis are usually permanent, as the broken down fat cells are not restored by the body. Nevertheless, a healthy diet and regular exercise are important to avoid new fat deposits.
-
Who is a good candidate for cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is suitable for people who want to reduce certain problem areas and already lead a healthy lifestyle. People who are severely overweight or have certain medical conditions should seek individual advice from a professional beautician or doctor before undergoing treatment.
