From the way the treatment works to the result you should expect, discover here how Cryolipolysis can help you take the first step towards a healthier and sculpted body.

1. How does Cryolipolysis;

Cryolipolysis takes advantage of the proven sensitivity of fat cells in the controlled cold, based on studies by Harvard University in America. Utilizing the use of different size and morphology of cooled heads and vacuum skin suction technology, local fat is isolated at each application point, which is then exposed to a controlled low temperature of minus 5 degrees for about an hour, but without damaging the surrounding tissues such as skin, blood vessels, nerves and muscles. In this way, the fat cells crystallize and achieve controlled cell death. This is followed by their gradual elimination through the lymphatic and urinary systems. The best; According to clinical studies, about 25% to 33% of fat cells are permanently destroyed!

2. Is it the same as liposuction?

Short answer: No! Liposuction is an invasive procedure that requires the use of anesthesia. Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive method, which eliminates the local subcutaneous fat without discomfort and with zero recovery time. This is what we call a lunch break treatment - it could be applied at noon on a working day allowing you to return to work normally without pain and loss of time!

3. When will I see the difference in the area where the treatment was applied?

The initial results will begin to become apparent in about 15 days with continuous improvement, which will become gradual in the coming months as the dead fat cells are eliminated from the body.

It is ideal for any person who is not far from his normal weight and suffers from persistent local fat, which does not subside even after a balanced diet and intense exercise.

Cryolipolysis should not and can not replace any of them. But what it can do is act in synergy with diet and exercise to help you achieve your goals and give you a solid boost to staying healthy.

6. Will my skin relax?

A logical question, but no! As the reduction of fat is done gradually the skin anticipates and follows the reduction of points. This is also the reason why Cryolipolysis is applied to sensitive areas, such as the hands and thighs.
