Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive procedure that uses cooling technology to reduce localised body fat.
A handheld vacuum device, with cooling plates, is positioned on the selected body area, which freezes the tissue to -6˚C. Fat cells are far more susceptible to the cold than other cells so they begin to crystallise and breakdown, without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The destroyed fat cells are absorbed and expelled by the body, leaving the treated area to shrink over the course of the following weeks. It can take up to 4-6 months to see the full results.
Some patients achieve significant fat removal and changes to their body contours in just one treatment. Others need a course of treatments.
