CoolSculpting - what is behind fat reduction with cold?

Cold against fat - the innovative method is ideally suited to everyone who wants to shape their body but would rather do without surgery.

e Liposuction is still regarded as the standard when it comes to reducing stubborn fatty tissue at unwanted places on the body. In recent years, however, the technology has developed strongly, above all in the minimally invasive field. One method in particular – CoolSculpting - has risen to become the market leader. 

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a gentle procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits, which cannot be reduced through sport or a healthy diet, by the action of cold.

Of the cryolipolysis procedures examined at the Kuzbari Centre, Cool Sculpting® is currently the only technology approved both by the US health authorities (FDA) and by the EU regulatory authorities for use in permanent fat reduction. 

What are the benefits?

In essence CoolSculpting offers four benefits:

1.       CoolSculpting reduces the layer of fat in the treated area by about 25 per cent

2.       No operation or anaesthetic is necessary.

3.       It works entirely without a scalpel, injections or scars.

4.       No longer period out of action: afterwards you are ready to go again at once.

How does CoolSculpting work?

A treatment takes about 1 hour per area. First a protective pad is applied. Then the CoolSculpting device is placed on the fat deposits concerned and they are frozen. In the weeks and months after the treatment the crystallised, dead fat cells are gradually broken down by the immune system. About 25 per cent of the fat cells disappear through one treatment. The first changes appear at the earliest three weeks after the treatment. The improvements are most clearly visible after two months. Fat cells are broken down for as long as four months after the treatment, however. The treatment can also be repeated in order to reduce even more fat.

 Who are the suitable patients?

People with a normal or slim build who struggle with stubborn problem areas that cannot be brought under control even with training and nutrition plans. The Cool CoolSculpting method is particularly effective for love handles, fat deposits on the abdomen, for firming the arms and the buttocks, and it can even be used in the chin area.

Does the treatment have side effects?

For the first few days the region looks somewhat swollen and is sensitive to touch. Some patients notice redness, slight bruising, swelling, tingling or numbness in the treated area. These are only temporary symptoms, however.
