How Does Cooltech Cryolipo Work?
Cooltech Cryolipo uses advanced technology to freeze fat cells, causing them to die and be naturally eliminated by the body. This process, known as cryolipolysis, effectively reduces the size of fatty deposits without surgery or anaesthesia, offering a minimally invasive solution with minimal discomfort.
The treatment works by cooling the fat cells in the targeted area to temperatures as low as -7 to -8 degrees Celsius. This extreme cold triggers the destruction of fat cells, which are then gradually metabolised by the body over the next 12 weeks. The result? A slimmer, more sculpted physique without loose or sagging skin—a common issue with invasive fat removal procedures like liposuction.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
One of Cooltech Cryolipo’s major benefits is the gradual fat loss, which allows the skin to tighten naturally over time. Full results typically become visible between 2 and 3 months post-treatment, with some improvements continuing for up to 6 months.
Skin Renewal uses CE-approved cryolipolysis technology to safely and effectively treat specific body areas, such as the lower abdomen, flanks, love handles, inner thighs, and more. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and colours, making it a versatile option for both men and women.
Ideal Candidates for Cryolipo Fat Freezing
The ideal candidate for Cooltech Cryolipo is someone who is in relatively good shape but has localised fat bulges that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the lower abdomen, bra bulges, inner thighs, love handles, and even man boobs. However, it’s important to note that Cryolipo is not a weight loss programme but a targeted fat reduction treatment.
Ideal Treatment Areas
Cryolipo fat freezing is a versatile treatment that can target various areas of the body where stubborn fat tends to accumulate. Commonly treated areas include the following:
- Abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Arms
- Back (including bra fat)
Side Effects and Recovery
Cooltech Cryolipo is generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects such as temporary redness, bruising, or tingling in the treated area. Some patients may experience mild abdominal cramping or a dulling sensation, which usually resolves within a few days. Rarely, paradoxical adipose hyperplasia can occur, particularly in patients with hormonal imbalances. It is crucial to provide a full medical history and consult a doctor before treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is highly effective for targeting stubborn belly fat. Cooltech Cryolipo fat-freezing treatments are designed to reduce fat cells in areas like the abdomen, where excess fat accumulates. This non-invasive procedure permanently eliminates fat cells, creating a slimmer and more sculpted appearance.
After a Cryolipo fat freezing treatment, the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system. Over several weeks, the fat cells break down, and your body metabolises them, flushing them out as waste—this gradual process results in visible fat reduction in the treated areas.
No, results from fat freezing treatments are not immediate. It typically takes several weeks for noticeable results to appear as the body gradually eliminates the treated fat cells. Most patients start seeing changes within 3 to 4 weeks, with optimal results visible after 8 to 12 weeks post-treatment.
Fat freezing treatments like Cooltech Cryolipo are generally well-tolerated; most patients report minimal discomfort. You may feel intense cold and a slight pulling or pinching sensation as the applicator suctions the skin. However, the area usually becomes numb after a few minutes. After the procedure, some individuals may experience temporary tingling, redness, or swelling.
One significant advantage of fat freezing treatments is that they require no downtime. Most patients can return to regular activities, including work, immediately after the treatment. The noninvasive nature of cryolipolysis makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
No downtime is required after fat-freezing treatment. You can resume your daily routine right after the procedure. While some individuals may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, these side effects typically resolve within a few hours to days.
