Coolsculpting

Coolsculpting is the only technique approved by the FDA and the European Community to eliminate localised fat permanently, using a cooling technology that selectively eliminates fat cells through a natural and gradual procedure that does not damage the skin.

How does it work

Coolsculpting® (Cryolipolysis™ intelligent technology uses cold temperatures of between -11° and -10°, depending on the person. The cold makes the fat cells go into apoptosis, the macrophages eat the fat and it is eliminated naturally through the body’s lymphatic system. The technique is compared to liposuction, as it guarantees a definite loss of centimetres via a non-invasive technique without the need to undergo surgery.

Indications

This treatment is perfect for those people with pockets of localised fat in areas such as abdomen, ‘love-handles’, back, buttocks, etc. that cannot be eliminated with exercise or diet alone, who are looking for a definitive and non-invasive solution.

Diagnosis

Before undergoing this treatment, a complete body diagnosis is performed state-of-the-art equipment to evaluate the amount and type of accumulated fat and to recommended a personalised treatment plan. Prior to the first cycle, photographs and measurements of the area to be treated are taken in order to provide a complete overview of the results achieved.The area that will be treated will then be marked and an assessment will be made as to equipment required to best fit the patient’s contours. In the first few minutes the patient may feel a burning sensation due to the drop in temperature, but afterwards the area will become numb due to the cold and the treatment is completely painless.

Sessions

: The number of sessions required will depend on the area to be treated. It is necessary to undergo two cycles for the silhouette to be reduced permanently. Each session lasts approximately 35 to 45 minutes depending on the area being treated. There is no down time after the procedure, the patient can return to normal life immediately after the session.

Results

Results will start to show after around 3 weeks, although scientific studies that show the fat loss and reduction in centimetres gradually improves over a period of three months after the treatment.
