The treatment owes its name to the worldwide medical discovery of the effect of cold on adipose tissue, without damaging the skin, adjacent tissues and vessels.
More specifically, the method directly targets the accumulated fat cells and utilizes controlled low temperatures (-15oC to 0oC) to cause them to crystallize and eventually dissolve. The now dead fat cells are then gradually eliminated from our body through the lymphatic pathway.
The remaining fat cells are in turn led to a gradual shrinkage, reducing the fat layer and revealing the impressive results that until recently could only be achieved with the "traditional" invasive methods of liposculpture and liposuction.
As Dr. Michael Chanakas informs us, Cryolipolysis can be applied mainly in:
The results of Cryolipolysis treatment are immediately visible and perfected within 2-3 months as the liquefied fat is naturally eliminated from our body. Massaging the area (mechanical Vacuum or not) and drinking plenty of water are recommended in order to facilitate the elimination of fat cells.
Exercise and a balanced diet rich in foods that hydrate the skin, strengthen collagen and prevent fat storage are always our strongest ally in maintaining the results of the treatment.
The procedure is painless, bloodless and offers permanent lipolysis results without the risk of the complications of surgical methods.
During the session, which is performed in the clinic, the special head causes local suction and the patient feels the area pleasantly cooled.
After the session is completed, there may be mild redness, swelling or even ecchymosis due to the negative pressure applied to the area which will subside over the next few hours and you will be able to return to your daily activities immediately.
The method is for those who wish to lose localized fat as Cryolipolysis does not aim to lose weight but sculpts and offers point reduction. Incorporate healthy eating and exercise into your daily routine and maintain spectacular results.
Cryolipolysis is the ideal treatment for those who do not want to or for medical/personal reasons cannot undergo Smartlipo Laser Liposuction under local anesthesia or other surgery. That is, for those who prefer non-invasive methods of localized fat loss.
