Cryolipolysis: what is it and why

Now the desire of the fair sex for an ideal figure prompts cosmetologists to develop all new ways of body shaping. One of these innovations is cryolipolysis. This method allows you to fix the figure with almost no effort and is suitable even for lazy people.

How is cryolipolysis done?

This modern method of getting rid of fatty deposits is based on the effect of cold on the subcutaneous fat layer. The technique was developed by Harvard scientist Rocks Andekrson. Due to the effect of cold, the subcutaneous fat layer becomes thinner and the kilograms go away. This procedure usually takes about one hour. During this time, adipose tissue leaves, and other tissues do not suffer.

Although doctors do not note any harm from the cryolipolysis procedure, it is still not recommended to carry out this procedure without prior consultation. In the absence of any contraindications to cryolipolysis, the destruction of adipose tissue will not affect your well-being in any way. Choose clinics that have proven themselves and have all the permits for this procedure.

An indication for cryolipolysis may be the presence of fat anywhere on the body. Most often, this method gets rid of fat on belly and hips. Other areas for the procedure can be the back, waist, legs, buttocks and even the face. This procedure is recommended for overweight people.

But not everyone lose weight can take advantage of cryolipolysis. For example, it is worth abandoning this method for people who are unable to tolerate low temperatures. At the slightest exposure to cold, they develop severe redness and itching.

Other contraindications include:

• The period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Endocrine system diseases and diabetes mellitus.
• Low blood clotting ability.
• Asthma.
• Raynaud's Syndrome.
• Existing unhealed lesions on the skin.

The cryolipolysis procedure has a visible result only on the upper layers of the dermis. Therefore, for people with a high degree of obesity, it will not bring tangible benefits.

The cryolipolysis procedure is performed in salons that have permission and certificates for this. The specialist must have the appropriate qualifications. Before the procedure, he must necessarily familiarize himself with the patient's state of health and study the results of the relevant tests.

Before the procedure, a general assessment of the problem area is carried out and the thickness of the fat layer is measured. The applicator is selected depending on this. First, a gel is applied to the problem area and covered with a thermal bandage. This allows the skin to be well moisturized so that it better perceives low temperatures. In addition, the bandage acts as a protection against burns and other damage.

The applicator tightens the problem area of ​​the skin and acts on it with cold. The whole procedure takes about an hour. And almost immediately you can evaluate its effectiveness. After cryolipolysis, small bruises may remain on the body, which will disappear within a week.

Reviews of cryolipolysis

Women who have done the cryolipolysis procedure note its painlessness. Almost no one needed pain relief. Patients felt a slight coldness and a slight tingling sensation in the affected area. Immediately after the procedure, the result was visible - it took several centimeters in volumes per zone. Many girls note a decrease in the manifestations of cellulite and an increase in the elasticity of the skin.

But at the same time, many patients believe that the procedure is unreasonably expensive and the result does not meet expectations.
