Cryolipolysis

In cryo­li­po­ly­sis, a fold of fat is drawn into an appli­ca­tor and coo­led in a con­trol­led way to around minus five to minus ten degrees. Fat cells react more sen­si­tively to cold than skin, ner­ves or mus­cles and are des­troy­ed as a result.

Appli­ca­ti­on

It suits well-defi­ned fat depo­sits on the abdo­men, flanks, thighs or under the chin that do not respond to exer­cise and diet. A ses­si­on lasts 35 to 70 minu­tes depen­ding on the area.

Good to know

The des­troy­ed fat cells are bro­ken down over weeks and the result appears after two to three months. The pro­ce­du­re is not a method of weight loss but of sha­ping indi­vi­du­al are­as. Tem­po­ra­ry numb­ness in the trea­ted area is common.
