Fat Freezing
Cryolipolysis (Fat freezing) is a non-invasive fat-reduction procedure. It’s an innovative way to contour your body by freezing unwanted fat. The fat freezing procedure can help you tackle your unwanted stubborn fat with little to no downtime.. With more than 6 million fat freezing treatments performed worldwide, people everywhere are getting a better view of themselves. When fat cells are frozen, they die, and are naturally eliminated from the body.
Cryolipolysis is a specialised procedure with no down time, which can help you get rid of pockets of fat that are difficult to target with exercise alone.
Queensland Skin Clinic has been equipped with the most advanced technology of cryolipolysis for non surgical body sculpting. This is targeted for localised areas of fat resistant to diet and exercise.
Is it suitable for me?
Although men and women tend to show fat in different areas, the fat freezing procedure works for both men and women. The non-invasive treatment works on those love handles that nobody really loves and even that double chin you see in the mirror every morning. Fat freezing is also effective to reduce the fat of thighs, upper arms, flanks and abdomen.
How does it work?
Scientists at Harvard University observed that some children who ate popsicles got dimples in their cheeks. The scientists realised that the popsicles were freezing and eliminating small pockets of fat cells. The idea that cold can target fat cells, without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue, was the insight behind fat freezing procedure, the proven science on which the procedure is based.
Fat freezing cools the targeted fat tissue to break down the fat cells for easy removal without damage to surrounding skin and muscle. The natural repair mechanisms of the body remove the freeze-injured cells over a period of months. The outcomes are noticeable and natural looking with reduction of the fat tissue about 2 months after a single treatment.
Is it safe?
Since fat freezing is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, it does not possess the same risks as a surgical procedure. As a completely non-invasive procedure it offers patients many benefits over other fat reduction procedures. Some of these benefits include:
– No downtime
– No need for anesthesia
– Pain-free
– No incisions
– High safety allowing most patients to undergo procedure
During the procedure, most patients remain completely comfortable and can read, listen to music and simply relax. Most patients are able to return to work and resume other regular activities the very same day. All procedures have post-treatment sequelae and risks.
Risks are primarily redness, bruising and reduced sensation in the treated area. These side effects are considered normal and usually go away on their own within a few days after
Fat freezing is not a substitute to exercise and healthy diet. It is not considered as a weight loss treatment. Fat freezing helps reduce the fatty tissue under the skin. The results are variable and you expect to see up to 25% reduction with this treatment. It is a permanent fat reduction technology, but only if you control your weight. If you gain weight, the fat will be deposited in other parts of your body. Each individual will respond to the treatment differently, and therefore it is unfair to claim to offer a 100% success rate in non-surgical fat-reduction. Many clients see results after just one treatment, however your treatment plan may include more than one session. For best results, two to three treatments are recommended for each target area. Your technician will work with you to tailor a plan to your needs and optimise results where possible.
