But how does cryolipolysis work?
It applies the principle of controlled cooling which causes death of the subcutaneous fat tissue. The overlying skin is however safe from any damage and the result of the procedure is great body contouring with a good shape in each and every body part.Coolsculpting device was initially made by zeltiq. This is the cryolipolisis which applies high cooling control zeltiq technology. In recent times though, there has emerged several replicas of the fat cell freezing machine by several companies.
The technology used in operating coolsculpting machines is based on Popsicle panniculitis which is a dermatological condition indicating that low temperatures can damage subcutaneous fat cells selectively. Since the temperatures are so low, the occurrence of frostbite is a high likelihood. The specific temperature and duration of exposure therefore need to be controlled properly by the physician performing the cryolipolysis procedure.
Where do these dead fat cells go?
The death of the cells is followed by localized inflammatory body response. This is what causes eventual reduction in fatty tissue layers achieving great body contouring. Cryolipolysis has a powerful vacuum which serves to enhance the inflammatory response of the body by drawing blood to the surface of skin layers opposing the body’s normal tendency to restrict circulation.Results
According to a test carried out in 2009 by Coleman and others, it was reported that cryolipolysis achieves 20% fat reduction in 2 months and 25% in 6months. This was concluded after the procedure was performed on ten patients in a single session in aim to reduce the love handles fatty deposits.Proper body contouring was also achieved and the results were seen to be permanent. There is no major risk associated with this procedure and it is FDA approved. Minor side effects include bruising, redness and skin numbness in area where procedure is performed.
