Cryolipolysis of the body

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A CRYOLIPOLYSIS TREATMENT?

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique that treats fat deposits in certain areas of the body.

It is very effective on the stomach, love handles, saddlebags, thighs, hips, abdomen, back, arms and buttocks.

The cold located between -6°C and -8°C crystallizes the fat cells during the 30+ minute session and deteriorates the cellular membrane of the adipocyte.

The cells will be irreparably destroyed, this is called apoptosis.

In 3 sessions, the fat deposits disappear and the skin becomes tighter, firmer and of better quality.

Sometimes the size of the fat deposit is not sufficient to be sucked up by the applicator. Before freezing the cells, the applicator has to suck up the fat in order to concentrate the effect of the cold on this area.

In this case, aesthetic medicine offers alternative methods using radiofrequency and ultrasound with Accent Prime technology to act on smaller areas.

WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS THAT A CRYOLIPOLYSIS TREATMENT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR YOU?

Some parts of the body retain fat more than others, revealing unsightly bulges that do not go away despite diets and intensive sport. This could be caused by a dietary imbalance (too much fat and sugar), a hereditary factor, hormonal disorders, sedentary lifestyle, or medication. ….

To guarantee a better result during a Cryolipolysis treatment, it is important to intervene early on because the fat will be more moderate. If the deposit is too large, a more serious medical method will be required.

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT FOR A SUCCESSFUL CRYOLIPOLYSIS PROCEDURE ON THE BODY

First of all, you will be greeted by your Personal Beautician who will offer you a complete body diagnosis.

Using the INBODY technology your Personal Beautician will scan your body to determine the zone where the fatty bulges are located. This examination will then be transmitted to our dermatologist and morphologist who, during a medical consultation, will confirm if the prescription of a cryolipolysis treatment is necessary.

Before each session, a series of pictures is taken to complete your file and follow the evolution of the treatment. A precise estimate indicating the number of sessions per area to be treated as well as the rates per area will be communicated to you.

The doctor will mark with a white pencil the areas requiring treatment in order to properly position the machine’s suction applicators. The clusters will then be sucked up and cooled according to the doctor’s instructions.

The cold coupled with the pressure of the suction triggers the crystallization of the fat. At the end of the session, the bulge is released. It is then necessary to massage the area for about ten minutes to break up the fat and begin to warm up the skin.

The freezing session lasts 35 minutes, which is the necessary time for the process to take effect and for the fat cells to degrade. These are naturally eliminated by the body in the following weeks. A 30-minute LED session soothes the treated area after the cryolipolysis.

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT CRYOLIPOLYSIS OF THE BODY

  • What are the results of Cryolipolysis?
  • This treatment makes it possible to remove approximately 20 to 30% of stubborn fat. However, it is necessary to wait three weeks to obtain a finalized result, but after the first month, a slimming effect can be seen.

    You will never regain fat in the treated area since the adipocyte have been destroyed. However, a healthy lifestyle remains essential.

  • What are the side effects of Cryolipolysis?
  • There may be transient effects such as redness, bruising and small swellings that are sometimes painful.

    They can last a few days but are not so severe that you will need to stay home. Subcutaneous pain, similar to aches and pains, reflects the success of the treatment. They are caused by the deterioration of the fat cells, which means that the tissues are working.

  • What treatments can be combined with Cryolipolysis?
  • This treatment is ideally combined with radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies. The Accent Prime technology allows the area to be drained and the skin to be tightened after the fat has melted.

    It is often recommended to complement these treatments with Sculptra injections to reduce the orange peel effect and give density to the skin and avoid skin sagging.

  • Is Cryolipolysis dangerous?
  • Cryolipolysis is not considered a dangerous treatment, but it does need to be performed by an expert physician. If no contraindications are revealed during the medical consultation, then this treatment is completely safe.

    Depending on the sensitivity of some patients, this treatment can be painful, and a strong discomfort can be felt when the treated zones are put under pressure.

    But, during the treatment, the discomfort disappears. It is during the post-treatment massage that pain caused by the effect of the hot/cold may be a little more annoying for a few minutes, but it will be greatly reduced by the LED.

  • What are the contraindications of a cryolipolysis treatment?
  • The main contraindications are:

    – A known allergy to cold,
    – The presence of a scar on the treated area,
    – Cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria,
    – Marked progeria or retrogenia,
    – A sagging of the area without adipose fat,
    – Known sensitivity to cold such as cold urticaria or Raynaud’s syndrome,
    – Peripheral cardiovascular disorders in the area to be treated,
    – Neuropathological disorders such as post-herpetic neuralgia or diabetic neuropathy,
    – Coagulation disorders or concomitant use of anticoagulants,
    – Skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, rashes,
    – Any active implantable device such as pacemakers and defibrillators,
    – Pregnancy.

  • What are the risks of a cryolipolysis treatment?
  • The risks listed on this subject are risks of burns, frostbite, or paradoxical hyperplasia. These are very rare cases, but they underline the importance of carrying out this treatment with a qualified physician. Our technology is equipped with a control system that allows us to measure in real time the temperature stability and the pressure of the applicators in order to avoid any risks.
