What is Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis employs selective targeting of fat cells more susceptible to cold than surrounding tissues. Using a specialised applicator, controlled cooling freezes fat beneath the skin. Over subsequent weeks, the body naturally processes crystallised fat cells, reducing the treated area’s fat layer thickness. This versatile procedure can address various body areas like the abdomen, thighs, love handles, and double chin. It’s important to recognize that while Cryolipolysis yields noticeable results, it’s a body contouring method rather than a weight-loss solution, suitable for individuals near their ideal weight. It can be combined with other modalities to yield a more firm and contoured area resulting in the desired look. Cryolipolysis helps in customizing and targeting a specific area of fat. The technique is based on the science that fat cells are more susceptible to damage upon exposure to cold temperatures than any other cells like your skin cells. The cold temperature destroys fat cells which trigger an inflammatory response by the body thus resulting in the death of fat cells. These dead fat cells are slowly eliminated from the body with the help of the lymphatic drainage system of the body. A complete physical analysis is recommended to deduce the right treatment plan and combination of modalities if needed to yield the best results.
