Did you know that a new cosmetic treatment has been developed to reduce body fat in certain areas? This method is called fat freezing or otherwise known as cryolipolysis.
This procedure will help freeze the fat cells in your body, which will then be naturally eliminated over time.
How Fat Freezing Works
The fat cells of your body located under your skin will be targeted and crystalised using a device that is able to provide controlled cooling.
The fat cells will be frozen and die off, which will then be processed by the lymphatic system of your body.
However, this will take several weeks to become noticeable and will take full effect in about two to three months.
How Safe Is Fat Freezing
For most people, this procedure is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. It is U.S. FDA-approved and widely used around the world. However, you also have to understand that there are issues you may have to consider when using the procedure.
Side effects may include redness, swelling, numbness, or bruising, but they may fade after a while. There may also be rare side effects like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia or the increase in fat in the treated area.
However, this may be uncommon for most people. Note that this is not a weight loss solution because it is more about reshaping stubborn fat areas like the belly, chin, and thighs.
How to Determine If This Aligns with Your Needs
Make sure that you are close to your ideal weight but will have small areas of stubborn fat.
Likewise, it is important that your skin has good elasticity because this treatment does not tighten loose skin.
If you are planning to undergo this type of procedure, you must be generally healthy without any serious conditions that may affect the circulation, liver, or nerves.
Fat freezing is also suitable if you prefer non-surgical fat reduction without being bothered by downtime. Moreover, if you embrace realistic expectations, then you are ready to undergo fat freezing. That is because results may be subtle and gradual, not instant or dramatic.
Why You Need to Avoid This Procedure
Cryolipolysis is not suitable for you if you are significantly obese or overweight. That is because this procedure is not a weight-loss method.
Also, if you have cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, fat freezing is not advisable.
Furthermore, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you might want to avoid this procedure because it has yet to undergo full studies.
Likewise, if the target area is loose or if you have sagging skin, you also have to avoid this. Remember that this will not provide dramatic changes quickly. So, if you are expecting to have quick results, this procedure is not for you.
