Rising star of body contouring and aesthetic medicine techniques for slimming without resorting to surgery, cryolipolysis consists of eliminating fat cells located under the skin by exposure to intense cold. What are the effects of cryolipolysis?

How does cryolipolysis work?

Using a device applied directly to the skin by a trained practitioner (nurse, physiotherapist, beautician, etc.), the cold is diffused to eliminate fat cells located up to several centimeters inside the body.

Pain-free and without the need for medical intervention in the operating room under anesthesia, cryolipolysis acts directly on the adipocytic membrane strong>. It becomes fragile on contact with intense cold (between -7 degrees to –12 degrees depending on the device). Which naturally leads to the death of the targeted excess fat cell.

Called apoptosis, it is a progressive self-destruction process of cells which does not lead to inflammation. Simply because the membrane is not instantly destroyed.

The effects of cryolipolysis

The device used during the cryolipolysis session grabs the skin and the bulges of the targeted area to treat it gently with a simple pass.

This gentle aesthetic medicine technique is ideal for treating areas such as:

• the stomach,

• thighs and inner thighs,

• hips and buttocks...

A natural elimination of fat cells

After thecryolipolysis session, the cells self-destruct naturally due to apoptosis.

The first effects of the loss of volume caused by the disappearance of this superfluous mass appear after a few weeks.

This is the time needed for the body to naturally carry out this transformation. Therefore, it takes between 2 to 3 months to obtain the desired final result.

To achieve the final objective, it is however important to space out the sessions that are deemed necessary in order to let the body react at its own pace and naturally.

Definitive elimination of cells exposed to cryolipolysis

Please note that the effects of cryolipolysis on treated fat cells are definitive.

Indeed, following apoptosis, cells that have self-destructed cannot regenerate or reproduce. The effect of cryolipolysis is therefore irreversible.

Cryolipolysis effects and a technique that is safe for the skin and the body

Thanks to the process used, the use of low temperatures applied directly to the skin is painless and without any harmful effects visible on the treated area.

There is therefore no risk of lesions appearing on the skin after a cryolipolysis session. Designed to target fat cells, this technique is also harmless to other cells in the body.

A natural and unrestrictive technique

Cryolipolysis does not require surgical intervention in the operating room under local or general anesthesia.

The sessions can be carried out by any trained staff such as physiotherapists, nurses, sports coaches or even beauticians with the appropriate equipment in the institute.

So it's up to you to choose the practitioner with whom you are most comfortable for your cryolipolysis sessions!
