Introduction to Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis is the first truly effective treatment for localized and unsightly fat bulges, without surgery and without 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 liposuction. Safe and effective, cryolipolysis leads to a gradual reduction of fat folds in 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 continues for at least 12 weeks after the session.

Candidates for Cryolipolysis

All women and men, with skin tones ranging from black to white, who wish to permanently eliminate stubborn localized fat, can benefit from cryolipolysis.

This technique is:

• non-invasive, non-surgical, without anesthesia
• without social, professional, or sports exclusion
• without constraints (no compressive clothing like lipopanthy)

Contraindications for Cryolipolysis

• General:
  • Raynaud's syndrome
  • cold urticaria
  • cryoglobulinemia
  • pregnancy
  • presence of a pacemaker
  • major arterial insufficiency
• Local:
  • umbilical hernia or abdominal eventration
  • cancer, wound, or evolving skin infection

Treated Areas

• Most effective areas:
  • hips (love handles)
  • inner thigh bulge
  • inner knee bulge
  • abdomen
  • chest in men
  • saddle bags
• Areas with lesser effectiveness or more delicate execution:
  • back
  • arms
  • double chin
• Technically non-treatable areas:
  • front and back of the thighs
  • legs (below the knee)
