Technologies for Cryolypolysis
How is the treatment done
Cryolipolysis is a simple procedure. To perform this technique, the professional places a covering of protective gel on the skin, then positions the equipment at the appropriate size for the area to be treated.The equipment works by vacuuming and cooling the area between-2 to -10ºC for 45 min, which is the time it takes for the fat cells to freeze.Once the cryolipolysis session is complete, the device and gel blanket are removed from the treated area, and the area is massaged for approximately 2 to 3 minutes to help break down the fat cells.
Where does the fat from cryolipolysis go?
By freezing the fat cells, an inflammatory process occurs on the area, leading to apoptosis, the programmed death of the fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body naturally by the lymphatic system, through a process called phagocytosis, during which white blood cells "digest" dead fat cells.
Care after treatment
After cryolipolysis, it is recommended to perform a local massage session to even out the treated area. Furthermore, it is recommended to carry out at least one session of lymphatic drainage or pressotherapy to facilitate the elimination of fat and accelerate the results.
Before and after cryolipolysis
The results of cryolipolysis begin to appear in about 15 days, but they are gradual and will occur within 8 weeks after treatment, which is the time the body needs to completely eliminate the fat that has been frozen. The minimum interval between sessions is 21 days and each session eliminates approximately 20% of localized fat.
