Cold Lipolysis
What is Cold Lipolysis?
Cold lipolysis is a method of regional thinning. Diet programmes do not always produce positive results in regional fat problems. In such cases, it is an ideal treatment to get rid of disproportionate fat in the body. With the cold lipolysis method, you can easily get rid of your uncomfortable fats.
The cold lipolysis method is generally applied to the areas known as the belly, hips, lower abdomen and flanks, where disproportionate fat is often seen in the body. This method has been developed to get rid of fat cells without surgery.
It works on the logic of killing the fats by cooling the area to be treated to -4°C. The cold lipolysis method aims to destroy only the fat under the skin, without any negative effect on the skin. The fat cells destroyed by cooling are digested and broken down by inflammatory cells. The broken down fat cells are transported through the body’s lymphatic system and excreted through the urine. During the procedure, the applicator head pulls the fat cells into itself and freezes them there. As fat cells are less resistant to cold than other cells, the skin and muscle tissue in the area where cold lipolysis is applied is not adversely affected. Other tissues in the area freed from fat cells are tightened and your body achieves the desired appearance.
Where to use cold lipolysis?
Cold lipolysis can be applied to any area of the body where there is regional fat. Generally preferred areas for Cold Lipolysis are the abdomen, waist, inner and outer legs, hips, waist and back.
Duration of the application
Cold lipolysis takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the condition of the area and tissue to be treated. The treatment is performed once a month.
Preparation before application
It is recommended that the patient comes to the cold lipolysis treatment on an empty stomach. As measurements taken before the application can be misleading, it is not applied during menstruation in female patients.
What to do after cold lipolysis?
Patients can return to work and social life immediately after the procedure. This makes it an ideal method for people with a busy work schedule.
Side effects of cold lipolysis
Temporary bruising may occur in the area where cold lipolysis is applied. These bruises are not harmful.
