Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis in 10 Questions
-
Overview of Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis is the first truly effective treatment for localized and unsightly fat bulges, without surgery and without any anesthesia. It has been extensively studied at Harvard University before its therapeutic application. This medical method performed in a clinic without constraints represents a real alternative to traditional surgical liposuction. Safe and effective, cryolipolysis leads to a gradual reduction of fat folds over the weeks following the treatment.
Excess weight and skin appearance (cellulite) are not addressed by this method.

Technical Principle of Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis is based on the use of cold, which primarily targets adipocytes (fat cells) that are very sensitive to negative temperatures. It is estimated that 30% of fat is eliminated locally per session. The body's gradual elimination process occurs after the cryolipolysis session for at least 12 weeks.
