The problem of obesity has begun to take on the shape of the epidemic in recent times. For many reasons, people have excess weight, which they are not able to fight on their own at home. Therefore, they have to look for more radical ways to correct the figure, one of which is cryolipolysis.
Modern methods of combating obesity have reached a new level. It turns out that not only warming procedures can be used to burn fat cells. The use of cooling methods, or rather freezing, is also very effective.
The latest technique developed by researchers at the Harvard Institute of Medicine shows impressive results. It is called cryolipolysis. Reviews about it are still mixed, as this technology has only recently begun to appear in our country (as well as in the world). It formed the basis of the invention of the ZELTIQ apparatus, which allows to reduce to a certain level the temperature of a specific area of adipose tissue under the skin and hold it for one hour. So much time is required to activate the natural processes of reducing the volume and death of fat cells as a result of their lack of proper nutrition. Such a physiological process takes place over 60 - 90 days. As a result, the number of fat cells in the site of exposure in one session decreases by 20-30%, as a result of which part of the volume of the fat fold naturally disappears.
Cryolipolysis, reviews of which do not yet allow a single picture of consumer opinions to be created, is a non-invasive procedure, that is, non-invasive. During the session, doctors place a small suction-cup apparatus (vacuum applicator) on the patient’s skin, which cools the subcutaneous fat to a state of freezing. A special substrate is laid between the skin and the applicator to protect the skin from hypothermia and to ensure uniform lipolysis. The applicator draws in a fat fold (using a vacuum) and cools it. During the procedure, there are no unpleasant sensations, only a slight coolness is felt. Due to the fact that the vacuum is constantly maintained in the apparatus, cooling is not local, but affecting the entire thickness of the fold. The number of procedures depends on the wishes of the patient and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat - from one to three. The frequency between sessions is 1.5 months.
Such a procedure as cryolipolysis (reviews about it leave both positive and negative) are strictly controlled by specialists. The process is good because during it there is no physical forcible destruction of adipose tissue. Everything is carried out using the natural functions of the human body. Which suggests the absence of side effects that can occur with surgical intervention and injection methods: swelling, pain, bruising, and besides, this procedure is completely painless. This method does not exert pressure on the liver, since it does not release lipolysis products into the blood. Another significant advantage is that the process occurs without the use of pharmacological drugs, and therefore completely eliminates the possibility of allergies.
Nevertheless, for all its positive qualities, cryolipolysis also has contraindications. These are possible circulatory disorders due to exposure to low temperatures, increased sensitivity to cold, causing pain, inflammatory processes, injuries, hemorrhages on parts of the body, the use of anticoagulants, skin diseases.
If you are thinking about going for cryolipolysis, you should still read reviews about this procedure before making a decision. After all, they are written by people who have already experienced this method. In addition, you should definitely consult with a specialist.
