THE CRYOLIPOLYSIS PROCEDURE

The method involves removing unwanted body fat by giving a cooling treatment to the fat tissues of the targeted area. Due to freezing temperature, the tissues acquire crystalline form and die out. The process however may take numerous sessions spanning across weeks to months to get the intended results. Here is the step-by-step procedure:

  • The expert cool sculpting specialist will assess the area that requires treatment.
  • He then marks the targeted area to use the applicator.
  • The applicator imparts controlled cooling to the fatty area.
  • The applicator that resembles vacuum cleaner nozzles will be according to the area of treatment.
  • The specialist will then use gel pad to protect the skin against the cooling effect.

  • As the cooling starts, the fatty area becomes numb.
  • The applicator then extracts the tissues between cooling plates
  • The patient may feel a short-lived discomfort as the vacuum takes out fatty tissues
  • The treatment may take around 35 to 60 minutes to complete
  • The expert then will remove the applicator
  • He will then massage the treated area to break the cooled deep tissue, if any
  • This will enable the body to receive the frozen fat cells.

Since it is a non-surgical procedure, the patient would not need anaesthesia. In fact, he can sit and feel relaxed throughout the treatment.

THE POSSIBLE RISKS OF CRYOLIPOLYSIS

Popular as cool sculpting, Cryolipolysis initially aimed at treating abdomen and flanks through cold-assisted treatment. Experts started using it to treat other body locations after getting permission by the FDA. It is free from major health risks.

In rare cases, patients may notice irregularities and asymmetry in the treated areas. Therefore, it is better not to expect miracles. Moreover, in less than 1% cases, the patients could suffer from paradoxical fat hyperplasia, which is abnormal rise in the fat cells. Be aware that men are three times more prone to suffer with any such condition.

ARE THERE ANY CRYOLIPOLYSIS SIDE EFFECTS?

Due to the non-invasive nature of Cryolipolysis, it accompanies lesser side effects as compared to other treatments. During the treatment, the probable adverse results may include tingling sensation due to cold and sensory deficits such as aching, cramping, etc. After the treatment, the patient may feel redness, swelling, tenderness, aching, etc. These side effects will vanish a few days after the procedure.

THE COST OF CRYOLIPOLYSIS TREATMENT

Depending on the applicator, targeted area and size of the surgery, the cost of this cool-sculpting treatment may vary depending on the machine, the areas to be improved and the time duration for which it is applied. The size of the applicator is one of the deciding factors to determine the cost of this treatment.

  • For larger targeted areas such as the lower abdomen, the cost of treatment would be slightly higher due to the use of a comparably larger sized applicator.
