cryolipolysis : What is slimming with cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is a procedure approved by the FDA for local slimming and is very safe and is performed by a nutritionist in some slimming centers.
In the cryolipolysis method, freezing temperature is used to destroy fat cells. In this method, the cold does not damage other cells except the fat cells, so it does not damage the skin or the underlying tissue.

The frozen cells gradually shrink and are eliminated from the body through the liver within a few months. Since fat cells do not regenerate, it can be expected that the reduced body size and local slimming in the treated area will remain with the person forever. This method is especially effective for fat bulges in the upper and lower abdomen, side areas (love handles), arms and inner and outer thighs.

Does cryolipolysis have side effects

Review of studies on the use of cryolipolysis method for local slimming
Research generally shows that cryolipolysis is a relatively safe and effective treatment for local fat removal.
A 2015 study published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery analyzed 19 previous studies on the use of cryolipolysis slimming devices. The results of this study showed that when fat reduction was measured with a caliper device, subjects lost an average of 14.67 to 28.5 percent of fat in the areas treated with cryolipolysis. When these studies measured fat by ultrasound, subjects lost 10.3 to 25.5 percent of fat in the target area.

Is size reduction with cryolipolysis permanent

Is size reduction with cryolipolysis permanent?

The results are considered permanent in the treated areas. However, if you don’t maintain your weight, fat is likely to accumulate in other areas. A proper diet combined with physical activity ensures permanent optimal results.
Although this procedure can remove areas of fat, it is not a miracle cure and people should not expect to get rid of the entire fat. This method will not work for everyone, and some people may experience worse side effects than others.
Lifestyle and other factors may also play a role in the final outcome. A person who maintains an unhealthy diet and remains sedentary while undergoing cryolipolysis should expect less fat loss.
Likewise, cryolipolysis cannot tighten loose skin.
