Body slimming and Fat Reduction
Cryolipolysis is an advanced non-invasive, non-surgical fat-reduction procedure that makes use of cold temperatures to tear down fat cells and reduce or eliminate fat in areas with excess and stubborn fat
The FDA-certified Cryolipolysis does not need any surgery or incision. It allows the doctor to remove fat cells without destroying the healthy tissues of the surrounding areas. Several patients have successfully used Cryolipolysis to tone and slim the back, love handles, and abdomen with excellent results.
What are the Benefits of Cryolipolysis?
The Cryolipolysis procedure offers several amazing benefits, including:
- No anesthesia, incisions or needles needed
- Cryolipolysis removes extra fat from the patient’s abdomen and the surrounding areas
- No recovery time needed
What parts of the body are treated with cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis candidates particularly have a large number of excess fats at some the listed areas below:
- Flanks (love handles)
- Abdomen
- Mid-back
- Inner knees
- Outer or inner thighs
- Under the chin (double chin)
- Arms
- Frontal axillary fold
- Pubic region
These areas are treated using a personalized-tailored plan which is based on the volume and location of the excess fat and also the patient’s goals. Using several treatment sessions, the stiffness of the outward fat layer is reduced in order to give a leaner and smoother contour.
How Does Cryolipolysis Work?
Cryolipolysis removes excess or unwanted fat using a unique device which is put on the skin’s surface. The device cools unwanted fat cells present in the targeted regions. The method is termed Cryolipolysis – which stimulates an inflammatory reaction that destroys the fat cells without affecting or harming the surrounding body tissues.
The damaged fat cells are then filtered or removed from the body gradually during the body’s metabolic process. The procedure usually takes approximately 1 hour to finish. However, it depends on the number and size of the targeted areas. Some patients may take a short nap or read a book during the treatment.
What can I expect before the procedure?
To achieve your aesthetic goals, schedule a personal consultation. During the first visit, the clinician will examine your history (especially your medical history); carry out an extensive physical examination to ascertain if Cryolipolysisis ideal for you.
During the consultation, you will be given an opportunity to state your individual concerns and goals. If you are certified as an ideal candidate for Cryolipolysis, the clinician then maps out a treatment process that will get the results you desire. Your entire body will be analyzed from different aspects and areas—and then concentrate on the particular areas you want to remove excess fat.
Cryolipolysis Results and Recovery
For some individuals, the treated area may appear red for about 3 hours after Cryolipolysis. Nevertheless, a lot of patients return to their day-to-day activities rather quickly.
Furthermore, a lot of Cryolipolysis candidates resume exercise or work normally on the treatment day. Once the fat cell breaks down and has undergone all metabolic processes, you will notice visible results, and this will keep on improving for about 2 to 4 months.
The eliminated fat cells after the procedure will not redevelop. However, the fat cells left in your body can still store fat, therefore exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet is important if you must maintain the results gotten after the procedure.
How long will the treatment take, and how many will I need?
It takes about 35-60 minutes to carry out Cryolipolysis, and some candidates may have several treatments during one session. This is because some clinics have many Cryolipolysis applicators and systems, and thus a patient can have several areas treated during a session. You can also choose to have additional treatments in order to achieve your desired goals.
What should I expect during the treatment?
As the procedure begins, you experience an intense cold that dissipates after some time. Additionally, you will experience a kind of pulling when suction is placed on the skin and it is common with some applicators. The targeted area will go numb for about 10 minutes during the treatment.
After the procedure, you will feel a mild tingling when the targeted area is rubbed and squeezed for about 3 minutes. Patients are able to go back to their daily activities after their appointment.
Who should not have Cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis treatment is not meant for everybody. People suffering from the following conditions should not undergo Cryolipolysis treatment.
- Cryoglobulinemia
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
- Cold agglutinin disease
Cryolipolysis does not treat obesity, just like any medical treatment; consult your physician to know if Cryolipolysis is perfect for you.
What are the side effects of Cryolipolysis?
You may feel sensations of tugging, pulling, intense cold, mild pinching, tingling, stinging, cramping, and aching during the procedure. However, these sensations wear off as the targeted area becomes frozen. After the treatment, regular side effects depend on the individual and they include swelling, bruising, temporary redness, firmness, blanching, stinging, tingling, tenderness, aching, cramping, itching, and skin sensitivity. Also, you may experience a fullness sensation in the throat after fascia spaces or tissue spaces treatment. Generally, these effects are so not last long and subside within a few days. Although very rare, other side effects may result.

Cryolipolysis is an FDA-approved procedure for treating visible bulges of fat in areas like the thigh, back fat, upper arm, abdomen, bra fat, and under the buttocks.
Is the result permanent, and where does the fat go?
As soon as the fat cells are frozen, they shrink and die. The dead fat cells are then removed from the body via the body’s natural metabolic process. Furthermore, the fat cells that are treated are gone for good.
What does it cost to undergo CoolSculpting?
