Cryolipolysis is a non-surgical, safe, and effective solution to eliminating fat to assist you on your weight loss journey.This treatment is ideal to target stubborn fat, mainly on the upper arms, back, abdomen, waist, and thighs, assisting in the reshaping of the body. The overarching aim of cryolipolysis, combined with an advised diet and exercise plan, is to improve the long-term physical and mental wellbeing of our clients. The targeted cooling system freezes the fat cells and adipose tissue beneath the skin; the body then expels the dead adipocyte through the lymphatic system.
What can i expect at my first consultation?
When you first attend your consultation, our practitioners will go through your medical history and help you decide on realistic, measurable goals pertaining to your weight loss. The areas you wish to target will be assessed and measured and you will be advised on the best course of treatment. In some cases, this may be a combination of cryolipolysis and cavitation. We will record your weight, notes about your general diet, and take photos of the desired areas for your records. You may be offered advice regarding dietary requirements that will support a healthy and long-lasting weight-loss program.
What does the treatment consist of?
A specialist gel pad will be applied to the treatment area to protect the skin. An applicator will be placed on top of the gel pad and the excess fat will be pulled into the device and held in place. There may be a sharp sucking sensation which can be alarming, however this is not painful and is completely safe. You will need to remain on the treatment bed for up to 1 hour as the applicator cools and holds the excess fat. After this time, the applicator will be removed, and the practitioner may massage the area with oil to warm and settle it.
How long is the treatment?
Generally, treatment can take up to 1 hour for a single area. However, more than one applicator can be used at a time, i.e., on flanks, arms, or thighs. We do advise clients to leave sufficient time for their treatments when doing multiple areas, to allow for secondary consultation, measuring and breaks between treatment. In some cases, full body transformations, combining cryolipolysis with cavitation and treatment on multiple areas can take up to 4 hours.
How long is the recovery time and when will i see result?
There is no required down time, however, we do advise clients to remain as active as possible throughout the day. Drinking plenty of water is also essential. When your treatment is complete you can leave the clinic and continue your day as normal. In order to monitor your progress and support you on your weight loss journey, we invite all clients to attend a treatment review 3 months after treatment, to remeasure the area and take after-photos.
Is the treatment painful?
As the applicator pulls the fat into place, you may experience some pulling and tugging. Any discomfort should quickly subside as the area is numbed due to the cooling temperature. Although downtime is minimal, you may in cases experience bruising, slight redness, swelling, numbing or tightness in the area following the treatment. This is perfectly normal, yet if you have any concerns as to the duration of these after-effects, please do not hesitate to contact the clinic.
How long will it take to see the results?
If following the advised nutritional and exercise advice, clients generally see slight results within 2 weeks of treatments. However, the full effects of cryolipolysis are mostly experienced approximately 4 to 6 weeks after your first procedure. Maintenance of a healthy lifestyle will provide continual improvements and efficacy of the treatments, which may be more evident, up to 3 months after your initial treatment.
