Cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as "Cryolipolysis" by patients, uses cold temperature to break down fat cells. The fat cells are particularly susceptible to the effects of cold, unlike other types of cells. While the fat cells freeze, the skin and other structures are spared from injury.
Does cryolipolysis really work?
Studies show that up to 28% of the fat can dissipate four months after treatment, depending on the targeted area. While cryolipolysis is FDA-approved and considered to be a safe alternative to surgery, adverse effects can occur. One of these is something called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, or PAH.
How successful is cryolipolysis?
Studies have shown an average fat reduction of between 15 and 28 percent at around 4 months after initial treatment. However, you may begin to notice changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment. Dramatic improvement is noticed after about 2 months

Does cryolipolysis permanently remove fat?
Since the fat cells are killed, the results are technically permanent. Regardless of where the stubborn fat was removed from, the fat cells are permanently destroyed after the cool sculpting treatment.
How many sessions of cryolipolysis are needed?
Most patients will need at least one to three treatment appointments to achieve desired results. For those who have a mild to moderate amount of fat in one or two areas of the body, a single treatment may be adequate to achieve your desired results.
What should I avoid after cryolipolysis?
