What is cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is a procedure, which is acclaimed to be very safe and uses cooling technology to freeze the stubborn fat in your body. The cooled cells then begin to shrink and over a course of a few months get disposed off from the body through the liver.
Since fat cells are not known to regenerate, the improved shape of the body can be expected to last a lifetime.
This procedure is especially effective to do away with fat bulges in upper and lower abdomen (tires), the flank areas (love-handles), the upper arms, and inner thighs. It can also treat various areas of the face including the chin.
Are there any post-treatment guidelines for cryolipolysis?
After the treatment, it is advisable to eat a healthy diet, drink lots of water and supplement it with regular exercise to maintain an ideal weight. Other than that there are no specific guidelines as this is a simple procedure.
How many sessions of cryolipolysis will I need?
The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient. Usually, patients lose around 20% of the fat after the first treatment in a targeted area. Many patients do not feel the need for more sessions after that, for that area.
If you require more treatments, it is advisable to schedule a second treatment at least a month after the first session.
