Cryolipolysis, commonly known as CoolSculpting, is an advanced, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to eliminate stubborn fat cells. At Minus, we leverage the latest Cryolipolysis innovations to help you achieve a more sculpted physique without surgery or downtime.
During the procedure, targeted areas of fat are exposed to cooling panels that lower the temperature of fat cells to a point where they undergo a natural process of cell death. This process, known as apoptosis, allows the body to gradually metabolize and eliminate the treated fat cells over several weeks, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fat bulges. The advanced technology used in Cryolipolysis is designed to be precise and effective, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.
Benefits of Cryolipolysis
- Advanced Technology: Utilizes the latest in cooling technology for enhanced effectiveness and comfort.
- Non-Invasive: No needles or incisions required, making it a safe and convenient option.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not return, providing lasting body contouring effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What areas can be treated with cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is effective for treating localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, chin, back, arms, and underneath the buttocks, offering contouring and body shaping.
Is cryolipolysis safe?
Yes, cryolipolysis is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed professional. Side effects are minimal and usually temporary, such as redness, swelling, or mild bruising in the treated area.
How long does a cryolipolysis session take?
Each cryolipolysis treatment session typically lasts 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Multiple areas can often be treated during a single session, with no downtime required afterward.
How many cryolipolysis sessions are needed for results?
Most patients require 1 to 3 sessions per area for optimal results, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Results typically become noticeable within 3 weeks, with full effects after 2–3 months.
Does cryolipolysis hurt?
Cryolipolysis is generally not painful, though patients may experience a cold sensation or mild pinching at the start. After a few minutes, the treated area typically becomes numb, and discomfort fades.
