8 usual questions for cryolipolysis
Is it a method of weight loss?
Cryolipolysis is not a method of weight loss but a method of treating identified local fat in people with normal body weight or slightly overweight. So, what you achieve is an inch loss.
How does it work?
Cryolipolysis is a method in which fat cells are subjected to strong cooling for a certain time and eventually eliminated from the body. Thus, there is up to 30% reduction of the size of the treated area.
Are the results visible immediately?
The fat cells are gradually destroyed and the result starts to show one month after the treatment. The final result is completed 3 months after the treatment.
How many sessions do I need and how often can I repeat it?
The treatment is practically completed in one session and depending on the severity of the problem a second treatment may be needed and should be applied in 3 months, not earlier.
How long does the treatment last?
The treatment lasts one hour.
What do I feel right after the treatment of cryolipolysis?
There is pain and numbness in the treated area, which soon recovers.
Can we treat different parts of the body at the same time?
We can treat only one area per session and if the patient wishes to treat more than one area there should be a period of at least one week among the sessions.
What should I be careful of after the treatment?
You should maintain a stable body weight. If you put on weight, the remaining fat cells "swell" and may alter the result of cryolipolysis.
