Fat Freezing
Fat Freezing or Cryolipolysis, can selectively target troublesome areas of fat such as muffin tops, love handles, bingo wings and back fat. The treatments destroys fat cells to reduce fat in the selected area.
Also known as CoolSculpting, it is a completely non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for the reduction of body fat. It is a fraction of the cost of cosmetic surgery making this treatment a real alternative to liposuction.
We can combine fat freezing treatments with shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy has been clinically proven to improve the effects of fat freeze treatments whilst also speeding up the time it takes to see results.
How does it work?
Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing) is the controlled freezing of fat cells to cause apoptosis or programmed cell death. When fat cells are exposed to a precise cooling between -1°C and -5°C they undergo crystallisation, this process produces an inflammatory response which causes the fat cell to shrink and then die.
Cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures and freeze at lower temperatures compared to other tissues. Structures such as skin tissue, blood vessels, and our nervous system are not as sensitive to freezing and are therefore totally unaffected by the treatment.
The body removes the damaged cells in the normal way via the lymphatic system and are naturally eliminated from your body over the coming weeks.
What areas can be treated?
Areas that can be treated are:
- Double Chin
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Inner arms
What results can I expect?
Results are visible between 6 – 12 weeks after your treatment; however some people have seen results appearing after just 4 or 5 weeks. Your body continues to metabolise and clear the damaged cells from the treated area for up to 4 or 6 months after your initial treatment.
