Fat freezing or cryolipolysis has become increasingly used in the past years and is a technique in which local fat is removed by freezing it. It is a surgery-free alternative for liposuction with the aim of improving the contours of the body. Favorite areas that are often treated are love handles, the lower abdomen, thighs, back upper arms and double chin. After the treatment, you can simply continue your daily work.
It has been scientifically proven that freezing is a safe and effective way to reduce fat. In order to initiate this process, the fat cells must reach a temperature below 4 degrees Celsius. This will result in breakdown of fat cells and visible reduction of fat deposits. It is an extremely suitable treatment for people with stubborn fat that will not leave with sports or diets.
Expected result
The cryolipolysis treatment is not a solution for severe obesity or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition and sufficient exercise can actually strengthen the result. After 4 weeks, the first contour improvement is visible. The full effect of the treatment is seen after 90 days.
Number of treatments required
The number of treatments required depends on the thickness of the fat. The treatment can be repeated on the same area at intervals of 6 to 8 weeks. The average cryolipolysis treatment takes 40 to 60 minutes depending on the area you want to get treated. On average, 1 to 3 treatments are needed per zone to achieve the optimal result. During the treatment you can relax, sleep, read or listen to music. The skin therapist will ensure that you lie in a comfortable position and heated chair during the treatment.

Precaution
During a free intake interview the skin therapist will discuss with you your wishes and expectations. You will also receive more information about the treatment, the costs and the before and after care.
During treatment
Before the start of treatment, the skin therapist will take a number of photos to map out the area to be treated. Then the treatment area is marked, a gel pad is applied to the skin and the treatment head (s) is connected to the skin. During the beginning of the treatment you may experience tingling, an uncomfortable feeling and coldness. This feeling disappears as the tissue is intensely cooled. To ensure that there is no movement, cushions can be used to support the treatment heads.
Aftercare
After removing the treatment head(s), the treated area is massaged to stimulate blood flow. Afterwards, the treated area can feel a little bruised and numb. This feeling may persist for around 1-2 weeks and diminishes day by day.
