Cryolipolysis combats fat accumulation with a cell-freezing cold treatment

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive way to remove fat cells by freezing .

Since triglyceride in fats is killed at low temperature, cooling technology is used to selectively eliminate fat cells, surrounding tissues are not involved in this process. Cryo technology focuses only on the trigycerides in fat cells.

How does cryolipolysis work?

First, an antifreeze pad is placed on the area to be treated to protect the skin. During the treatment, the fat is sucked into a suction cup before being frozen. This will cause a slight tugging sensation and the area will be cold. Within a few minutes, the area should become numb.

Thanks to a temperature of -10 to - 11C you obtain crystallization of subcutaneous fat cells. The duration of a treatment goes from 35 to 60 min depending on which zone you want to treat. When the procedure is done, the area will feel very cold and numb, this takes on average 1h.

How many treatments do you need with cryolipolysis?

  • Depending on the thickness of the fat layer, 1 to 3 treatments may be required
  • A treatment can be performed every 45 days
  • The cryolipolysis treatment can be performed on any skin type and for any age

What happens to the fat cells during cryolipolysis?

  • Some stubborn "fat bulges" are immune to diet and exercise, such as the much-hated "love handles" on our hips or the double chin we always complain about when we look at our photos.
  • The Cryo System provides targeted cooling on these fat cells which induces cell apoptosis (or cell death of the fat cell). After treatment, cell death of the fat cell occurs. These are then gradually disposed of by the body. Once the process is complete, the thickness of the fat layer is significantly reduced.
  • Cryolipolysis is a great solution for subcutaneous fat retroughion!
  • The fat cells are cooled to a temperature cold enough to cause irreversible damage to the fat cell. This damage leads to necrosis of the cell or cell death from injury.
  • Cryolipolysis works by controlled cooling. Because we freeze fat cells at a higher temperature than other cells in the body, targeted cooling is delivered that destroys the fat without damaging the surrounding skin and tissue. A suction effect is integrated into the process to draw the skin into the device so that the colder temperatures can be applied evenly to the area to be treated. As the "frozen" fat cells are removed by the body, the treated area becomes slimmer.
  • A single Cryolipolysis treatment can reduce the amount of fat by about 22%.
  • Although it can take between 12-16 weeks for the body to filter out and remove dead fat cells, those cells are gone, naturally and permanently removed from your client's body.

What areas can we treat with cryolipolysis?

We treat different body areas with cryolipolysis at Sarasin Clinic, and we do so in both women and men.

Cryolipolysis zones

Types of body fat

Visceral fat

It is important to understand the differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat. The fat you can feel on your waist, arms, legs or anywhere else is all subcutaneous fat, stored just under the skin. Visceral fat is another critter: the deep, internal fat located around your abdominal organs - sometimes called belly fat. A healthy amount of visceral fat helps insulate and protect your organs and plays a role in your endocrine and immune function. In excessive amounts, however, visceral fat can cause serious problems for your performance and health.

Subcutaneous fat

Everyone is born with subcutaneous fat. Aside from genetics, people usually have larger amounts of subcutaneous fat when they:

  • Eating more calories than they burn
  • its sedentary
  • have little muscle mass
  • get little aerobic activity
  • diabetes
  • be insulin resistant

Combining Cryolipolysis & HIFU.

When we perform the Cryolipolysis and HIFU procedure in combination, more fat cells are treated than any other non-surgical body sculpting and toning treatment.

As the gentle ultrasound energy stimulates and contracts the collagen, the skin, which has become looser due to the loss of fat cells in the treatment area, is tightened and smoothed for tighter results. Both procedures complement each other for a more thorough and effective treatment.

Benefits of cryolipolysis

  • Non-surgical technology.
  • It is the most popular fat retroughion technology in Europe and America.
  • This latest fat loss technology can reduce up to 20% of the fat in a treatment area.
  • Cryolipolysis technology is more advanced than RF and Ultrasonic technology.
  • Targeted fat retroughion.

The science behind cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis-working-sarasin
  1. Cooling for fat involves placing fat and overlying skin between two cooling metal plates using a vacuum device
  2. Cryolipolysis targets and cools fat cells to temperatures that trigger apoptosis of fat cells. Lipids in fat crystallize at warmer temperatures than water in other cell types
  3. After treatment, the fat cells enter the apoptic death sequence and are gradually removed by the immune system over the following weeks and months
  4. The thickness of the fat layer is significantly reduced after treatment

Frequently asked questions about cryolipolysis

How does a cryolipolysis treatment feel

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Cryolipolysis. The pulling suction on the skin and freezing temperatures of about -11°C can make the treatment quite uncomfortable. Clients can also expect to feel a localized pain after their fat freezing treatment, similar to that of a mild muscle injury or intense workout.

What side effects may occur?

Although quite rare, "ice burns" are a concern with Cryolipolysis. A described risk is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (is more common in men than women and only 0.05%) . This adverse reaction to the treatment results in the fat cells in the treatment area becoming larger rather than smaller.

What areas can be improved with cryolipolysis?

This treatment is best for addressing those stubborn areas that just won't change. Typical areas are the inner thighs, lower abdomen and "muffin tops."

What results can I expect?

On average, you will see a 20% - 30% retroughion in fat in the localized area. Since the body takes several months to flush out the dead fat cells through the immune system, optimal results will be visible after 6 to 12 weeks.

Who is cryolipolysis not suitable for?

Cryopolysis is a safe and effective treatment for reducing body fat in most people. However, there are some people who are better off not getting this treatment. People with the following conditions should not undergo Cryopolysis: - cryoglobulinemia - cold agglutinin disease - paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria

What is Cryolipolysis / Fat Freezing?

Fat freezing is a non-invasive therapy that helps remove unwanted fat cells under the skin. Cryotechnology is the controlled application of low-temperature (vacuum-assisted) cooling to a specific target location for a specified time, causing fat cells to break up/crystallize. This results in a retroughion of body fat without causing damage to surrounding tissue. It is a non-invasive procedure that protects the tissue structures surrounding the wound. We use a tool to cool certain areas of your body to freezing temperatures during cryolipolysis. The treatment freezes and destroys fat cells in the area of the body being treated. These dead fat cells are normally broken down after a few weeks of treatment and eliminated from your body through the liver.

How does fat freezing work?

Fat freezing works by sucking the skin into a vacuum cup to crystallize the underlying fat cells. Depending on the targeted area, each procedure can take from 35 minutes to an hour. Although the treated region initially feels very cold and numb, the discomfort is believed to be mild. The fat freezing process reduces the amount of fat cells in the treated areas by approximately 20% to 25%.

Does cryolipolysis really work?

Yes, absolutely. It is recognized by doctors and surgeons as one of the most successful non-invasive fat loss methods, which can reduce fat cells by 20-25 percent after 1 single fat freezing session. Note : during your sessions, your dietary style must also be healthy ! It is much more popular in the United States because it was initially introduced there, but it is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and Australia.

Can you lose weight by freezing fat?

Freezing fat will not help you lose weight. Cryolipolysis, on the other hand, may be perfect for you if you want to remove excess fat in places where exercise is ineffective.

Will cryolipolysis damage tissue or organs?

Fat freezing works by breaking down only the fat cells and leaving the skin, muscles and nerve fibers in the frozen area alone. This is because these freeze at a much lower temperature than the fat cells and thus are not affected by the temperatures used.

How many Cryolipolysis treatments are required?

Depending on the thickness of the resistant fat, two to three treatments are required. The treatments can be repeated every 45 days. It is suitable for all skin types and ages.

Who should not undergo cryolipolysis treatment?

Cryolipolysis is not recommended for the treatment of obesity. Conditions that preclude the use of fat freezing include: - Pregnancy, attempted pregnancy and breastfeeding. - Cryoglobulinemia, a condition in which proteins that usually increase only in response to cold occur in abnormally high concentrations - Cold agglutinin disease, an autoimmune disorder in which temperature change kills red blood cells - Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, a condition in which red blood cells die in response to temperature change - Raynaud's disease - Winter hands & winter feet - Reduced blood flow or skin sensation at the treatment site - Nerve disorders, such as diabetic neuropathy - Skin conditions related to the immune system, such as eczema and psoriasis - Inflammatory skin conditions, such as dermatitis and hives - A recent injury to the skin area to be treated, including scar tissue - Long-term use of blood-thinning medications - Bleeding disorders that thin the blood - History of a hernia or a herniated disc in or near the treatment area - Active, implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers - Allergy to propylene glycol or isopropyl alcohol (this is in the gel pads we place on the skin) - Chronic pain conditions - Severe anxiety disorders

How does cryotechnology work?

1. A hand-held device generates a vacuum effect with the aspiration of skin and fatty tissue. The tissue remains fixed and isolated, protecting the rest of the tissues and collagen. 2. The vacuum effect reduces blood flow in the target area, providing more precise and controlled cooling in the target area. 3. The fat tissue comes into contact with the cooling plates of the handle. These plates generate the cooling effect until they reach the desired temperature. 4. The treatment takes about 45-60 minutes to achieve maximum cell death. When the treatment is finished, the affected fat tissue is gradually removed, through the natural metabolic process. 5. After a minimum treatment duration of 45 minutes, the fat cells die (crystallize) and are released into the lymphatic system where the natural metabolic process takes over and rids the body of toxins.

At what temperatures does fat freezing work?

The temperature varies from individual to individual, the temperature depends on your fat percentage, temperatures are usually between -6°C and -11°C.

When will you begin to see the results of fat freezing?

An average retroughion of 5.3 cm visible in the treated area after 45 days. Results are delayed and take 8 weeks to 6 months to be noticeable and optimal. More than one treatment per area may be required. Results are visible in the short term, but definitive results are usually achieved after 3 to 4 months.
