Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freeze, is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce unwanted fat by using sub zero temperatures to kill the fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue or nerves.
It works by applying a cryo-handle to the treatment areas targeted for weight loss, which uses advanced cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells. This procedure is known as apoptosis (controlled cell death) and it means fat is gradually eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.
When the fat cells are subject to being cooled to below body temperature, the freezing process causes the fat cells to die, proviking an inflammatory response. Cryolipolys then makes use of a powerful vacuum which adds to the inflammatory response by drawing blood and fat cells to the surface layers of the skin and killing the cells.
