Cryolipolysis, commonly called “fat Freezing”, uses cold temperature to break down fat cells. The fat cells are particularly susceptible to the effects of cold, unlike other types of cells. While the fat cells freeze, the skin and other structures are spared from injury.
Sometimes, despite diet and exercise, stubborn fat deposits may just not budge. If you feel plagued by flab and fat around your tummy and waistline, CoolTech® may be the answer to get rid of unwanted love handles, muffin tops, saddle bags and floppy belly flab. The Cooltech® method is an outpatient treatment without requiring anaesthesia or pain medications, so there doesn’t have to be any down or recovery time. CoolTech® may be your desired safe and effective fat-removal process that doesn’t damage any tissue.
With CoolTech®, fat cells under the skin can be cooled in a particular manner until they are frozen. Once solidified, the fat cells can die. They can be naturally eliminated over a period of time by your body, with no damage to any surrounding areas.
Your therapist will identify the fatty area to be treated and cover it with a cool gel pad to protect the skin. A large cup-like applicator will then be applied over the site. A vacuum is applied, which ultimately sucks in the fat roll that will be treated.
A firm pulling sensation is felt during this action; similar to applying a vacuum seal, a mild cold may also be felt. In the first ten minutes, the temperature in the cup will be lowered gradually to -8 degrees, freezing the fat cells in the fat roll.
The cup applicator remains in contact for one hour; you can listen to music, relax, read, use a computer, or watch a movie. At the same time, the device gently cools your treatment area.
After an hour, the cup applicator is removed. There may be a slight burning sensation in the region as the temperature in that area reverts to normal. You will notice that the site is deformed and possibly bruised. This is then massaged flat into a more normal appearance. Redness will settle in the next few minutes to hours afterwards. Any localized bruising usually clears within a few weeks. There may be a temporary dulling of sensation or numbness in the treated area lasting up to eight weeks.
In the correctly selected patient, a single treatment of fat cooling results in roughly a 20% decrease in the volume of the treated area. After the first treatment, further treatments can be scheduled to enhance results.
Many patients, however, find that one treatment is sufficient. We will discuss this with you and design a plan that suits you best.
