Cryolipolysis, often referred to as “fat freezing,” is a revolutionary non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery or downtime. The science behind cryolipolysis is grounded in the principles of controlled cooling, which selectively targets and disrupts fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.

• A special vacuumed applicator is applied to an area of the body and a controlled cooling technique lowers the treatment area to -9C.
• Cooling energy treats the fat layer without any damage to surrounding cells.
• As fat cells cannot survive at this temperature, these fat cells crystallise, die and over a period of 12 weeks naturally eliminate from the body.
• The result: up to 30% of permanent fat cell death in treated areas!

1. Non-Invasive: Cryolipolysis offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures such as liposuction, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking fat reduction without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.
2. Targeted Fat Reduction: The controlled cooling technology allows for precise targeting of specific areas of concern, enabling customizable treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
3. Minimal Discomfort: Cryolipolysis treatments are generally well-tolerated by patients, with minimal discomfort or downtime. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure.
4. Long-Term Results: Clinical studies have demonstrated long-term efficacy and durability of cryolipolysis, with sustained fat reduction and improvements in body contour observed months after treatment.

Mechanism of Action:

1. Selective Cooling: Cryolipolysis harnesses the principle of selective cooling to precisely target subcutaneous fat deposits beneath the skin’s surface. During treatment, a specialized applicator is applied to the treatment area, delivering controlled cooling to the underlying fat layer.
2. Cryoadipocytolysis: The cooling process induces a biological response known as cryoadipocytolysis, in which fat cells are exposed to temperatures below their freezing point. This triggers a natural process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, within the fat cells.
3. Inflammatory Response: Following cryoadipocytolysis, the body’s immune system responds by initiating an inflammatory cascade. Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, engulf the damaged fat cells and gradually remove them from the body through the lymphatic system.
4. Gradual Fat Reduction: Over the following weeks and months, the treated fat cells are gradually metabolized and eliminated from the body, resulting in a gradual reduction in fat layer thickness and visible improvement in body contour.

To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, here are a few things you can do pre and post-treatment.

• Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after your treatment as well as caffeine for at least 2 hours before and after your treatment
• To properly flush out your lymphatic system and eliminate the fat cells, staying hydrated is key. We recommend drinking at least 2 litres of water pre & post procedure.
