Cryolipolysis is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment which uses sub-zero temperatures to destroy fat cells. The fat cells die off and are naturally eliminated by the body. This reduces fat, aids weight loss and also tightens the skin and improves circulation.
Research shows an average of 15% to 28.5% fat reduction in the areas treated.
Which areas can be treated?
Most patients require more than one session to see results, typically 2 to 3 sessions, 6 to 8 weeks apart.
This depends on the area being treated, but typically takes 45 to 90 minutes.
No. Some patients experience mild discomfort and a sucking and cooling sensation.
People have even been known to bring along a book or a Tablet to entertain themselves, or get work done, during the treatment!
Yes. It is approved by the FDA and is non-invasive, and therefore carries little risk of serious side effects.
Some patients continue to experience mild pain similar to that after a work out, or a numbing sensation for several weeks after the treatment.
No recovery time is needed.
Most patients notice results in 3 or 4 weeks, but it takes around 8 weeks to see the full results. Results can continue to improve for up to 6 months after the treatment.
The procedure permanently destroys the existing fat cells, so maintaining a healthy diet will help to prevent these building up again. Further treatment may be required to remove new fat cells.
