Do you have a healthy lifestyle, you eat properly and you exercise, but still there are certain rebellious «michelines» who resist disappearing? 

This frustration is common. Localized fat, often determined by genetics, can be incredibly difficult to remove. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine has evolved to offer effective solutions without the need for surgery. 

Cryolipolysis has emerged as the star treatment: a non-invasive technique that uses controlled cold to sculpt the body contour. If you are looking for a safe and proven alternative to liposuction, this article will reveal everything you need to know.

Cryolipolysis (from the Greek cryo – cold, lipo – fat, lysis – break) is an aesthetic procedure that selectively eliminates fat cells through controlled application of cold.

The science of apoptosis

The secret of this treatment lies in the knowledge that fat cells (adipocytes) are intrinsically more vulnerable to low temperatures than other surrounding tissues, such as skin, nerves, or muscles.

1. controlled cooling: A specialized applicator (such as those used in technologies such as coolsculpting) gently sucks the fat fold and initiates a precise and focused cooling.

2. Cell death (apoptosis): Severe and prolonged cold causes adipocytes to reach freezing temperature. This is not a simple freeze, but the induction of apoptosis or «programmed cell death.».

3. natural elimination: Once destroyed, these fat cells die naturally and are gradually removed by the body's lymphatic system during the weeks and months after treatment. The result is permanent: once the fat cells are removed, they do not appear in that area again.

The popularity of cryolipolysis is due to its many advantages over traditional fat reduction methods:

*  no and invasive : No incisions, needles, anesthesia or operating room required. It is an external and safe procedure.

* No recovery time: Unlike surgery, you can resume your daily activities, including exercise, immediately after the session. It is the ideal treatment for people with busy agendas.

* lasting results: The removal of fat cells is permanent. As long as you maintain a stable weight with a balanced diet and exercise, the results will remain.

* Selective Accuracy: It allows you to specifically address the rebel areas, achieving a more defined and harmonious body contour.

* improves firmness: Some studies suggest that the process can induce the formation of neocolagenesis (production of new collagen), slightly improving the texture and firmness of the skin in the treated area.

The versatility of cryolipolysis makes it an excellent tool for body modeling. The most requested areas include:

* abdomen : Ideal for reducing fat deposits under the navel and flanks.

* Flanks («Tires») : One of the areas that best responds to treatment.

* thighs : It is used to reduce fat both internally and externally (often called «cartridges»).

* arms : Especially effective for fat that accumulates on the back of the arms.

* chin and jaw : Non-invasive treatment to reduce submental fat and define the facial profile.

* shoulder: To remove the folds of fat that often appear under the bra.

 It is crucial to understand that cryolipolysis is not a weight loss treatment or a solution for obesity.

The ideal candidate is:

• A person with a stable weight (normoweight or light overweight).
• Someone who has localized and palpable fat in specific areas that does not disappear with diet or exercise.
• Whoever seeks a notable improvement in the contour and body definition without going through the operating room.

If you are looking to lose large amounts of weight, a nutritional consultation or with a bariatric is the first step. Cryolipolysis is the tool for the final sculpting.

A typical cryolipolysis session is comfortable and simple:

1. Evaluation and marking: A specialist will evaluate the area to be treated and will accurately mark the location of the applicator.

2. skin protection: A membrane of antifreeze gel is placed on the skin to protect it from direct exposure to cold.

3. application: The device (head) is placed and uses a soft vacuum to suck the fatty tissue into the applicator.

4. cooling: The temperature drops progressively to the freezing point of the fat. During the first few minutes, you will feel a severe cold, which soon turns into a feeling of numbness or numbness.

5. duration: The treatment by area usually lasts between 35 and 70 minutes, during which time you can read, work with your mobile or simply relax.

6. final massage: When removing the applicator, the area will be firm and cold. A vigorous and immediate massage is essential to break down crystallized fat cells and optimize removal.

The key to cryolipolysis is patience. The results are not immediate, since the body needs time to remove dead cells.

* When are the results seen? The first effects can be visible from the third or fourth week, but the optimal and definitive results are observed between 2 and 3 months after treatment.

* Side effects (common and temporary): Immediately after treatment, it is common to experience redness, mild bruising, swelling, and a feeling of numbness or tingling in the area. These effects are mild and usually disappear in a few days or, in the case of numbness, in a few weeks.

* Duration of results: Results are permanent if healthy habits are maintained. However, the procedure does not prevent the remaining fat cells in other areas from gaining size if you gain weight.

Conclusion: Cold is your aesthetic ally

Cryolipolysis represents one of the safest, most effective and comfortable options available in aesthetic medicine to combat localized fat that seems impossible to move. Its scientific basis is solid, its process is tolerable and its results are long-lasting.

If those fat deposits prevent you from feeling completely at ease with your body contour, consult a specialist to determine if cryolipolysis is the precise solution you need to achieve your aesthetic goals.
