Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis is the most effective non-invasive technique to eliminate localized fat without surgery. It uses controlled cold (-9 to -11°C) to freeze and selectively destroy fat cells, which are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissues. The body naturally eliminates the damaged cells through the lymphatic system during the 8-12 weeks following treatment, without the need for surgery or anesthesia.

Treatment areas

Cryolipolysis is especially effective in the abdomen (lower abdomen and flanks), cartridge cases (hip lipomas), inner and outer thighs, jowls (double chin), back (posterior love handles), arms and male pectoral area (mild gynecomastia). It is important to emphasize that it is not a general weight loss treatment, but a silhouette remodeling treatment in specific areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.

How does the session work?

A special applicator gently suctions the adipose tissue between two cooling plates. The session lasts between 35 and 60 minutes per area. During the treatment, the patient may feel intense cold for the first few minutes, which gives way to a comfortable numbness. It is not painful and can be used for reading, work or any sedentary activity during the session.

Temporary redness and hypersensitivity in the area may appear after treatment for a few days. Immediate post-treatment massage, performed in the clinic, is documented to significantly increase the efficacy of the procedure.

Results and expectations

The average reduction is 20-25% of adipose tissue in the treated area per session. Results are visible after 4 weeks and maximal at 8-12 weeks. In areas with greater fat accumulation, a second session may be recommended. The results are long lasting as long as the patient maintains a stable weight.
