Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing, is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses controlled cooling to eliminate unwanted fat cells. It is a popular non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
Here's how it works:
Targeting fat cells: The procedure utilizes targeted cold exposure to the fat layer beneath the skin.
Freezing and destroying fat cells: This cold temperature causes fat cells to freeze and die, while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
Natural elimination: Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.
Reduced fat layer: This gradual elimination results in a reduction of the fat layer in the treated area.
Key features and benefits of cryolipolysis:
Non-invasive: No surgical incisions or needles are required.
Outpatient setting: Procedures are typically performed in a doctor's office or clinic setting.
No anesthesia or sedation:Patients are awake during the procedure.
Minimal side effects: Most side effects, such as redness, swelling, and temporary numbness, are mild and resolve on their own.
No downtime: Patients can generally return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Effective for stubborn fat pockets: It's well-suited for individuals who are relatively fit but have localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Permanent fat cell removal; once the treated fat cells are eliminated, they are gone permanently.
