What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) is a procedure for removing adipose tissue using cold. Based on the high
sensitivity
of the human body to negative temperatures, it leads to:
- energy "starvation";
- violation of internal processes;
- triggering apoptosis (cell death).
Decay products - apoptotic corpuscles - are naturally processed and excreted from the body. Thus, the
process of
splitting and fat loss does not harm health. Taking from 2 to 3 months, it eliminates the risk of
inflammation and
the possibility of fats entering the human circulatory and lymphatic system.
Important: Cryolipolysis is not a treatment for obesity! It allows you to achieve a positive result only for
slender
patients with problem areas. Full is recommended to lose weight first, and then deal with the issue of body
modeling.
CoolSculpting helps to get rid of excess fat in the chin, arms, back, abdomen, buttocks and thighs.
According to the
duration of the event, it takes no more than an hour. The exposure time is set based on the treatment area,
the
thickness of fat deposits, the type of apparatus used. The results of aesthetic correction of the figure
become
noticeable after 2-4 weeks. The maximum effect (reduction of subcutaneous fat to 25%) can be achieved 2
months after
cryolipolysis. As a rule, the course consists of 1-3 sessions, which are held every 2-4 months.
Indications and contraindications for cryolipolysis
This technique is relevant for patients with a fat fold in the fat liposuction zone with a thickness of 2 cm
or
more. This category includes people with weight gain caused by:
- sedentary lifestyle;
- disorders of the hypothalamus;
- pathologies of the endocrine system;
- various types of mental disorder.
It can be resorted to in case of intolerance to anesthesia. Also, this type of figure correction can be used
in
cases when the patient wants to solve an aesthetic problem in a conservative way (without surgical
intervention).
CoolSculpting is contraindicated in people with pathological susceptibility to cold. It is not performed for
patients with such health problems as:
- diabetes mellitus;
- diseases, skin injuries;
- circulatory or clotting disorders;
- severe cardiac pathologies;
- oncology, neurological disorders.
Male/female representatives with a pacemaker installed are also not allowed to participate in the procedure.
Temporary medical withdrawal from cryolipolysis is issued to pregnant, nursing mothers, women who have
menstruation
during the period of figure correction.
Advantages of conducting
Cryolipolysis is painless. Having an effect on a specific area of the skin, it does not affect others. As a
result,
the risk of inflammation, infections, and the appearance of scars that can form with other methods of
non invasive stomach fat removall is eliminated. This method of figure correction does not
require long-term rehabilitation.
Triggering the processes of natural splitting and removal of fat cells, it allows you to reduce the
subcutaneous fat
layer only in the treated area. The remaining parts of the body remain the same volume.
How to prepare?
Before carrying out fat liposuction of fat, it is necessary to consult with a specialist. At the reception,
the
doctor will assess your health, will allow you to exclude possible contraindications. A few hours before
cryolipolysis, it is not recommended to eat, drink, or sunbathe. You should come to a body correction
session with
an empty stomach, especially if the patient`s stomach is the problem area.
Stages of the procedure
At the first stage, the specialist measures the fat fold, outlines the area of impact with a marker. After
that, he
chooses the type of device (the latter differs in the area of the working surface and the configuration of
the
closing circuit). At the second stage, the doctor puts a napkin with propylene glycol on the patient`s skin.
Next,
he fixes the applicator, after which he sucks the fold into a special cavity with it and cools it in this
way to -6C
°.
Recovery Features
CoolSculpting allows you to return to normal life immediately after the procedure. The only thing is to
adhere to
certain recommendations. In particular, it is recommended to give up sports for a while. In the first day
after
cryolipolysis, experts advise to exclude visits to the bath, sauna, solarium. In the next few days,
aggressive
procedures such as laser resurfacing, tattooing, peeling and scrubbing will be carried out.
Possible complications
After removing the applicator, the area of exposure may become red, acquire a bluish tint. There is a
possibility of
numbness, which, like the return of the skin to its natural color, passes 6 to 8 hours after cryolipolysis.
Some
patients complain of a feeling of heat, a slight burning sensation in the treatment area. Don`t be scared!
This is
an individual reaction that is associated with the destruction of cells. It is not a cause for concern.
How to enhance the result after cryolipolysis?

tissue)

fatty
foods, sweet and flour, alcohol. After the skin is restored, it is recommended to return to training. Sport
