CoolSculpting cryolipolysis

CoolSculpting is a targeted treatment that can only treat subcutaneous fat that is soft. Areas that can be treated with cryolipolysis include the abdomen, hips, upper back, chest, inner and outer thighs, knees, fat tissue under the buttocks, and the chin.

Cryolipolysis is intended for people with ideal body weight or close to ideal, who want to reduce fat tissue in one of the 9 areas approved for treatment by the FDA (US Drug Administration):

• belly
• hips
• upper back
• breast
• inner thigh
• outer thigh
• knees
• fatty tissue under the buttocks
• chin

Before the treatment, our experts will perform all the necessary diagnostics and assess whether the fat tissue can be removed with cryolipolysis treatment or whether liposuction is still necessary. During the consultation, they will discuss your goals with you and guide you through the fat and cellulite freezing procedure to ensure that you are confident in the safety of the process.

They will also create a treatment plan tailored to your body and needs.

It is anticipated that 1-2 visits will be required for treatment. However, the exact number of visits and the required cycles for a specific region are defined individually for each client after a detailed diagnosis.

No special preparation is required before treatment.

The first step is to mark the area to be treated. Then, a gel pad is placed that creates a barrier between the skin and the applicator (so-called cooling plates).

The applicator is then placed on the body area and begins working – freezing the fat cells over the next 35 – 75 minutes (fat freezing), depending on the area being treated.

During the treatment, the CoolControl system, thanks to multiple integrated sensors, monitors the client’s body temperature and adjusts the temperature, or coldness, of the applicator accordingly.

During the treatment, you may feel a slight pinching, pulling, intense cold, burning, pain and cramps at the application site.

Usually 5 – 10 minutes after the start of the treatment, all these potential phenomena disappear as the area of ​​the body cools down.

During this time, you can relax, read, answer emails, or correspond with friends.

After the device has finished cooling, the treated area is briefly massaged to break up the treated fat cells and thereby affect fat reduction.

You can see changes 3 weeks after treatment, and more significant results after 3 months.

No recovery time is required after the treatment.

Side effects you may experience include temporary redness, swelling, ‘bleaching’, bruising, tightness, burning, cramping, pain, itching or tenderness of the skin, and a feeling of fullness in the back of the neck/throat after treatment of the neck and chin area. These side effects are temporary and usually disappear within a few days or weeks.

As with any treatment, additional side effects may occur, but they are rare.

If your body weight increases or decreases after a CoolSculpting treatment, the volume of remaining fat cells may increase or decrease, but their number remains the same.

The treatment is not performed on people suffering from the following:

• Cryoglobulinemia – a disease defined by the presence of cryoglobulins, proteins that thicken at lower temperatures
• paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria – a rare hemolytic anemia caused by sudden, recurrent bursts of red blood cell destruction by the immune system
• Cold agglutinin disease – a rare type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Fat freezing, as it is colloquially called, is not recommended for use on the area of ​​a hernia, even if it has been removed. It is also not recommended to perform CoolSculpting on or around a diastasis recti (straight abdominal muscle).
