What Exactly Is Cryolipolysis?

Many men and women struggle for years to shed excess fat but some with little to no success. If you’re tired of carrying around those extra bulges even with vigorous exercise and constant diet, Cryolipolysis may be the right solution for you.

Cryolipolysis, also known as “fat freezing procedure,” is a non-invasive body contouring treatment used to decrease fat cell volume by exposing subcutaneous fat tissue to chilling temperatures. The freezing temperature triggers the process of “apoptosis” or natural cell death without causing damage to the skin.

Exposure to lower temperature also begins a process of natural removal of the dead fat cells in the patient’s body, which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer.

In Cutis Laser Clinics in Singapore, we have the two well-known Cryolipolysis fat removal devices in the market. Learn more about Cryolipolysis and how it can help you achieve your body goals.

CoolSculpting and How It Works

CoolSculpting in Singapore is one such device that uses Cryolipolysis to reduce fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Since receiving approval from the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in 2010, the procedure has increased by a whopping 823 percent.

During a session of CoolSculpting, the fat is suctioned in between the applicator that cools the fat to freezing temperatures. Once frozen, the treated fat cells die and are naturally expels them from the body. The result is a slimmer and sculpted physique.

CoolSculpting has been found to be effective in reducing fat on several areas of the body, including the belly, thighs, lower back, and sides. With the latest applicators such as CoolMini, CoolSculpting can now also treat smaller areas such as the double chin, knee fat, and bra fat.

In a 2009 study that looked at the efficacy of Cryolipolysis, it was found that the fat freezing procedure reduced the treated layer of fat by as much as 25 percent. Six months following the treatment the results were still present. The results are gradual as it can take several weeks for the liver to excrete the dead fat cells out of the body. However, most patients can see the full results of their fat loss within 30 to 90 days.

Z Lipo and How It Works

Z Lipo is another highly innovative type of Cyolipolysis device designed to target fat deposits and increase fat reduction. Z Lipo is developed and is manufactured in Germany by the original expert of cold therapy known as Zimmer Aesthetics.

The non-invasive procedure works by cooling fat deposits over an extended period of time using safe and controlled temperatures. Z Lipo has been successfully used for many years to reduce fat on the thighs, abdomen, arms and back.

Z Lipo works similarly with CoolSculpting as it also uses fat freezing technology to target stubborn fat bulges. One of the main difference is that the Z Lipo device is built in with two applicators. This means that you can do two areas in one sitting.

The Z Lipo applicator is available in three sizes to ensure that each area is treated precisely. Using a convenient touchscreen color display, our experienced skin doctor in Singapore is able to adjust the application time, suction mode, and suction level to ensure satisfactory results.

Cryolipolysis typically does not result in any side effects. However, some slight redness or tenderness in the treatment area in the days following the procedure may occur.

Everyone wants to know how to reduce body fat effectively and without the risks. Thanks to these non-surgical fat freezing procedure it is now possible to achieve a slimmer body contour without the risk and long recovery time associated with surgery.
