Does cryolipolysis really work?

• What is cryolipolysis?

Fat cells in the human body are easier to freeze than other skin cells, while adjacent cell tissues(melanocytes, fibroblasts, vascular cells, nerve celles, etc.)are less sensitive to low temperature. Lower fat cells are deactivated, but other cells are not affected. Fat freezing and fat melting is a non-invasive and controllable new technology. The fat cells are cooled by local refrigeration equipment. Generally, the cells will undergo apoptosis, dissolve, and metabolize within 2-6 weeks. To achieve the purpose of local fat reduction and shaping.

• What is treatment process like?

A standard cryolipolysis treatment process should include: skin cleansing before treatment; treatment process with conductive, protective gel; skin cleansing after treatment.

• How is treatment experience and effect?

During the treatment, the patient does not fell any pain, but only feels a strong cold and a slight tension in the treated area. Redness, numbness and even slight swelling will occur in the treated skin area. This is a normal phenomenon and will slowly dissipate after a few hours over time.

Physical activity can be performed immediately after treatment without any discomfort, the non-invasive feature is a great advantage compared with other plastic surgery. You can lose weight while lying down, which is equivalent to having a massage in a beauty salon. This is a beauty boon for people who are super afraid of pain.

Many related papers about it can be retrieved in PRS(Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery), the most authoritative magazine of plastic surgery. The research data shows that 83%of the people are satisfied, 77% feel that the treatment process is relatively comfortable, and there a re no serious side effects.

Cryolipolysis is a promising non-surgical fat reduction and contouring method and presents a compelling alternative to liposuction and other non-invasive methods with limited side effects and significant reduction in localized obesity.
