What it is
Fat cells (adipocytes) are very sensitive to cold. When they are cooled in a controlled way they break down without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue, and they are then cleared naturally through the lymphatic system. It is an effective alternative to liposuction for reducing fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs and flanks.
We work with COOLTECH DEFINE, which can apply 4 handpieces in the same session. In our featured protocol we combine it with TRUSCULPT FLEX for muscle toning and definition.
Who it is for
It is suitable for patients with a healthy body mass index and only for treating localised pockets of fat. That is why we always start with a medical assessment to decide whether it is the right treatment for you.
Areas
Abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, outer thighs (trochanters), arms, knees and double chin.
The session
- An antifreeze membrane is placed on the skin to protect it from ice forming and therefore from burns.
- A handpiece is then applied that creates suction and gradually lowers the temperature to around -11 °C.
- Duration: 30 to 60 minutes (in some cases up to 70 minutes).
- Anaesthesia: not required.
- Number of sessions: depends on each patient, usually 2 to 4, with 6 weeks between sessions.
- Recovery: no time off work.
Results
The breakdown of fat cells begins about 2 weeks after treatment and can take up to 6 weeks to complete, so you will start to notice the benefits within about two weeks.
Good nutrition helps you keep the results. If you need it, you can also rely on our nutrition service.
