Fat Freezing

divider

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to reduce fat deposits in specific areas of the body. The procedure involves cooling fat cells to a temperature that causes them to break down, while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated area.

 How It Works:
1. Targeting Fat Cells: A device is placed on the skin, which cools the underlying fat tissue.
2. Cooling Process: The fat cells are cooled to a temperature that triggers apoptosis (cell death) without damaging the skin or other tissues.
3. Natural Elimination: The body gradually processes and eliminates the dead fat cells over several weeks to months.

 Common Treatment Areas:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Thighs
- Double chin
- Upper arms

Benefits:
- Non-invasive: No surgery or anesthesia required.
- Minimal downtime:Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.
- Targeted fat reduction: Focuses on specific areas of concern.

 Considerations:
- Results vary:The effectiveness of the treatment can vary based on individual factors such as body composition and the area treated.
- Multiple sessions:Some patients may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results.
- Temporary side effects: Possible side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated area.

It's essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if fat freezing is appropriate for you and to discuss potential risks and benefits.

What is fat freezing (cryolipolysis)?

 

 

 

 

Fat freezing, or cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses cold temperatures to freeze and destroy fat cells. The procedure is designed to reduce stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise.

How does fat freezing work?

During a fat freezing session, a device is applied to the targeted area, which cools the fat cells to a temperature that triggers their natural death (apoptosis). Over the following weeks, the body naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treated area.

What areas of the body can be treated with fat freezing?

Fat freezing is commonly used to treat areas such as the abdomen, love handles (flanks), thighs, back (bra fat), upper arms, and under the chin (double chin). It is important to note that cryolipolysis is intended for localized fat reduction and is not a weight loss solution for overall body fat.

Is fat freezing safe?

Fat freezing is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified healthcare provider. It is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime and fewer risks compared to invasive fat reduction methods like liposuction. Common side effects may include temporary numbness, redness, bruising, or mild discomfort at the treatment site.

What results can I expect from fat freezing?

Results from fat freezing treatments are gradual and typically become noticeable within a few weeks to months after the procedure. Many individuals experience a noticeable reduction in fat bulges in the treated area, leading to a more contoured appearance. Results can vary based on individual factors such as body composition and lifestyle

Are the results of fat freezing permanent?

The fat cells that are destroyed during a cryolipolysis treatment are permanently eliminated from the body. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is important to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding. Periodic treatments or touch-ups may be
