What’s it all about?
Cryolipolysis uses cold to permanently destroy localized fat without damaging surrounding tissue.
How does it work?
Adipose tissue cells (adipocytes) are more sensitive than other cells to prolonged exposure to cold.
By capturing fatty tissue with a special handpiece and cooling it to a controlled temperature of -5°, the device freezes and crystallizes fat cells. This process leads to the destruction of cells, which are then eliminated from the body.
Who is the Medical Cryo System for?
This treatment is for men and women who are not significantly overweight, but who have one or more localized areas that often resist dieting efforts: love handles, stomach, buttocks, inner thighs, back folds or arms.
How does a session work?
After a diagnosis that includes measuring the fat fold, your practitioner will mark the areas to be treated before positioning the cryodes (special handpieces). From the very first minutes of treatment, the cold will numb the area. Afterwards, you won’t feel a thing.
The session lasts around 45 minutes, and once it’s over, you’ll be able to resume your normal activities without any discomfort.
The rare redness will disappear a few hours after the session.
Results are visible 4 to 6 weeks after the session. One to three sessions are required, depending on the thickness of the fatty tissue or the area treated.
