Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis by CoolScultpting®: the technique
What is Cryolipolysis by CoolSculpting®?
Cryolipolysis by CoolSculpting® is a medical technique that destroys stubborn fat using cold. This is the most innovative and effective non-surgical cryolipolysis method for losing unsightly curves and bulges while refining and reshaping the silhouette. It is to a group of medical engineers led by Professor Rox Anderson, inventor of medical lasers at the prestigious Wellman Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, that we owe this technology, the result of 10 years of research and development. .
How does CoolSculpting® work? By the cold: unlike the skin and other tissues, fat cells are permanently destroyed by very low temperatures. This cryolipolysis technique allows you to lose a third of the fatty area treated in a single 35-minute session, in complete safety and without surgery. On the other hand, it is not a suitable treatment for cellulite.
Cryolipolysis is aimed at men and women who are not overweight. Most patients have a healthy lifestyle and play sports. But despite all these efforts, there still remains an unsightly bulge that can make things complex...

A session for a flat stomach with CoolSculpting®
The treatment cycle for one area lasts 35 minutes. The thicker and more extensive the area, the greater the number of cycles will be.
I apply a gel wipe to protect the skin then I apply an applicator to the area to be treated, combining the effects of suction and cold. You feel a pinching as well as a moderate cold. Tingling may also occur but disappears as the treated area becomes numb. Sitting comfortably, you can read, listen to music, check your emails or take a nap during the treatment.
In a few minutes, the temperature, continuously monitored by the device, is lowered to approximately -10 degrees. CoolSculpting controls the temperature on the treated area at all times, allowing it to maintain intense cold for the duration required to eliminate fat.
Refrigeration treatment results in the natural death of targeted fat cells. Less sensitive to cold, neighboring cells and muscles are not affected. Over the next few weeks, the body begins to eliminate dead fat cells on its own.
The elimination of fat cells leads to a concentration of the remaining cells, a general decrease in the fat layer.
During the session, the doctor's assistant regularly checks that the treatment is going well. The applicators come in various shapes and sizes to adapt to the natural contours of the body and to treat large areas in one go.
Aftermath of CoolSculpting® cyolipolysis treatment
Resumption of activities is immediate after CoolSculpting. The treated area is red and slightly numb for a few hours. Sometimes, following aspiration of the skin, some hematomas may appear but they disappear after a few days. You may experience soreness for seven to ten days.
Cryolipolysis by CoolSculpting®: the results
After 7 years of follow-up, we have not noticed any reappearance of fat in the treated areas.
Non-responsive fats are very rare, in some patients the result is insufficient after a single hour of treatment so a second hour must be planned on the same area.
Much more often, the destruction of fat cells is major and the results are stunning after an hour of cold delivered by Coolsculpting.
If you gain weight again, it will be distributed elsewhere and very moderately in the treated area.
