Cryolipolysis | Everything You Need to Know About Freezing Fat

Cryolipolysis | Everything You Need to Know About Freezing Fat

Cryolipolysis is the scientific technology behind the most popular, non-invasive fat freezing treatment, CoolSculpting. When you break the word down, Cryolipolysis means reducing fat cells with exposure to precisely controlled temperatures. More commonly known as fat freezing, Cryolipolysis is scientifically proven to provide long-term solutions to diet and exercise-resistant fat deposits in areas like the belly or thighs.

Read on to learn more about this advanced technology and determine if fat freezing with CoolSculpting is the right solution for your physique.

The Discovery of Cryolipolysis

This calibrated cooling science was developed by Harvard scientists Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD. These men noticed a reduction in cheek fat among kids who sucked on popsicles, a phenomenon known as popsicle panniculitis.

Dr. Manstein explains the concept of Cryolipolysis. “Fat freezes at a higher temperature than water.” Consider butter and water in the refrigerator – one is solid, the other remains liquid.” The scientists realized that they could freeze the fat cells by exposing fat cells to cold temperatures without freezing or harming overlying tissue or skin. This is possible because skin cells are made primarily of water. Therefore, the skin cells have a much lower freezing temperature than underlying fat cells.

How Cryolipolysis Works

CoolSculpting treatments reduce stubborn bulges of fat by inducing Cryolipolysis. An applicator isolates a fat deposit during the cooling session, such as on the belly fat, and exposes it to specifically measured temperatures.

The temperatures are cold enough to freeze subcutaneous fat cells but not cold enough to freeze or harm neighboring skin or tissue.

“Frozen” fat cells crystallize, causing the cell membrane to rupture. The cell then becomes useless and dies. Several weeks after the treatment, your body naturally collects the dead fat cells and expels them as waste. CoolSculpting provides natural-looking, long-term fat reduction. Once eliminated from the body, the fat cells can never grow back.

Is Cryolipolysis Right For Me?

To enjoy a dramatic body transformation with CoolSculpting, you need to be the perfect candidate. Despite what most believe, Cryolipolysis is not for everyone. The best candidate is a healthy, active adult struggling with diet and exercise fat deposits in specific problem areas. To learn if you are the right CoolSculpting candidate, schedule a free consultation with Forever Young Medspa. During your consultation, a treatment specialist evaluates your body to determine if Cryolipolysis can help you achieve optimal fat reduction.

Liposuction Vs. CoolSculpting | Discover the Differences

Liposuction Vs. CoolSculpting | Discover the Differences

For decades, Liposuction was the only solution for pesky fat bulges that commonly resist diet and exercise. While Liposuction is effective, it is also an invasive surgery that has some drawbacks. Scalpels, surgeries, general anesthesia, and a long recovery are features of Liposuction and enough to make most hesitant to go under the knife.

Fortunately, for those who want to avoid surgery and a long recovery, CoolSculpting provides a non invasive.

Continue reading on to discover more about each fat reduction method and determine which is best for you.

Liposuction vs. CoolSculpting | The Experiences

Trying to determine which fat reduction treatment is proper for you can be a daunting task for some individuals. It helps to understand how each experience is different.

Liposuction is conducted by a plastic surgeon in an operating room. This method of fat reduction involves an anesthesiologist putting you fully asleep for the procedure. Different treatment areas have slightly different procedures, but the basic idea of Liposuction involves a scalpel making several incisions in the skin. The surgeon inserts a sharp tube or cannula into the incisions. They then use the tube to break up the fatty tissue and suction the fat out of the body.

The CoolSculpting experience takes as little as 35-minutes, making it quite different from Liposuction. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive treatment that involves attaching a cooling applicator to stubborn fat cells in areas like the belly, thighs, back, or upper arms. The measured cooling freezes the fat cells without harming the skin or tissue.

Several weeks after the treatment, the frozen fat cells are metabolized and excreted as waste. CoolSculpting provides patients with long-lasting fat reduction because once they are removed, the fat cells can never grow back.

Liposuction vs. Coolsculpting Cost

Liposuction surgeries, on average, cost twice as much as the price of CoolSculpting.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of Liposuction in 2016 was $3,200. When you further add in the cost of the operating room and anesthesiologist fees, one liposuction treatment can cost up to $5,000.

Liposuction vs. CoolSculpting Recovery

Liposuction recovery can take months. Patients are typically restricted in activity and must wear a compression garment for at least two weeks. Additionally, it can take several months for the bruising and swelling to subside before patients can see their full results.

CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive, so there is no downtime required for this fat reduction treatment.

COOL SCULPT AWAY FAT | COOLSCULPTING FAT FREEZING

COOL SCULPT AWAY FAT | COOLSCULPTING FAT FREEZING

Cool Sculpting is a body contouring procedure that uses advanced freezing to remove bulges such as abdominal fat, flabby arms, and double chins. It uses proprietary cooling techniques to freeze fat cells, thus eliminating persistent fat stores. Long-lasting and spectacular results are obtained. Learn all about Cool Sculpting and decide whether this fat-reduction approach is ideal for you.

Learn more about CoolSculpting >>

How Does Cool Sculpting Work?

Cool Sculpting removes fat cells by carefully controlled cooling to disrupt the cell’s membrane. As the membrane of a fat cell is destroyed, the cell can no longer hold fat. This causes the immune system to absorb the cell and process it out of the body. This procedure, known as “cryolipolysis,” requires many weeks to complete. Even so, after eight to twelve weeks, patients will see a thinner, more chiseled body as a result of the fat removal. Best of all, the effects of Cool Sculpting are long-lasting.

What Areas Can Cool Sculpting Treat

Forever Young Medspa is fitted with the most recent line of cold sculpting applicators, allowing it to eliminate almost every bulge that clings to the body. Cool Sculpting will minimize double chins and neck fat, beginning at the tip. Above the knees, there are thick layers of fat at the foot. Belly fat, love handles and hips, inner and outer thigh fat, back fat, armpit fat (also known as bra bulge,) upper arm fat, and other parts are treated in between.

The easiest way to find out if Cool Sculpting will help you with your persistent bulge is to book a free appointment with the Forever Young Medspa.

How Much Does Cool Sculpting Cost?

The expense of Cool Sculpting differs depending on the customer. Specific care criteria that are exclusive to each patient are used to assess prices. The size and style of applicator used, the number of cycles used to obtain the optimal percentage of fat reduction, promotions, and specials are all factors that affect Cool Sculpt cost.

DIY CoolSculpting

DIY CoolSculpting

Millions of people around the globe have had their stubborn fat frozen and achieved optimal results. Unfortunately, as this advanced fat reduction method’s popularity increases, so does the dangerous trend of DIY CoolSculpting. Coolsculpting at home is gaining momentum as people try to freeze their own fat utilizing dangerous methods involving ice packs. Learn more about how CoolSculpting works and why trying to attempt fat freezing at home is extremely hazardous to your well-being.

How Does CoolSculpting Reduce Stubborn Fat?

The science responsible for the phenomenal fat reduction results is known as Cryolipolysis. This science reduces stubborn fat cells because they are susceptible to cold temperatures. While fat cells are susceptible to those extreme cooling temperatures, the skin cells are not. This is how CoolSculpting treatments can freeze fat cells without damaging the skin of the treatment area.

During CoolSculpting treatments, an area of the body is selected, such as the belly or thighs. The CoolSculpting applicators gently draw up the skin using a vacuum mechanism. This suction is an important part of the fat freezing process as it draws the subcutaneous fat cells up towards the surface of the skin. The machine delivers cold air at a precisely controlled and consistent temperature, specifically between 39 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooling does not actually freeze the cells, but it chills them until they become hard and brittle. This causes the cell’s membrane to rupture, leaving it unable to do its job of storing fat. The cell will then die and process out of the body naturally as a form of waste.

Why DIY CoolSculpting is Impossible

People believe that CoolSculpting at home using ice packs can actually imitate the results of CoolSculpting treatment. There are numerous reasons why DIY CoolSculpting is not only ineffective, but it can cause serious injuries.

DIY CoolSculpting Lacks Consistent Temperatures

It is impossible to chill your fat cells using ice packs. Ice packs cannot maintain a stable, controlled temperature, a vital part of the Cryolipolysis process. In fact, the second you place an ice pack on the skin, your body begins transferring its heat onto the ice. This heat transfer causes the temperature of the ice pack to get warmer.

CoolSculpting at Home Provides No Suction

DIY CoolSculpting lacks an essential element of Cryolipolysis, suction. Because fat cells are vulnerable to cold, they will move away from the skin’s surface when exposed to cold. The suction mechanism of the CoolSculpting applicator draws the skin up into the machine forcing the fat cells to the skin’s surface. The applicator exposes stubborn fat cells to freezing temperatures causing their cell membrane to rupture, leading to optimal fat reduction.

DIY CoolSculpting is Dangerous

Ice packs will not freeze your fat cells, but they will freeze your skin. Frostbite is a severe concern for people trying to attempt fat freezing on their own. Exposure to the cold of an ice pack can result in thermal injuries to the skin and surrounding tissue when done incorrectly. To avoid frostbite and thermal injury, it is best to leave CoolSculpting to the professionals.

Cryolipolysis | Freezing Fat Cells to Reduce Bulges

Most adults struggle with stubborn fat bulges despite diet and exercise. Before CoolSculpting, the only way to tackle bulges involved Liposuction. However, with the invention of Cryolipolysis, individuals now have another aesthetic method to body shaping. CoolSculpting offers the solution to frustrating bulges through freezing fat cells to death.

The Discovery of Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis was discovered by Harvard Scientists David Manstein, MD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD.  They recognized a reduction in cheek fat when children sucked on popsicles; a response called popsicle panniculitis. Dr. Manstein shared his observation with Allure Magazine, stating, “Fat freezes at a higher temperature than water.” Dr. Manstein realized that he could naturally freeze fat cells when exposing fat deposits to cold temperatures while protecting the overlying skin from injury. Skin cells consist mainly of water, thus maintaining a lower freezing point than underlying skin cells.

How Does Cryolipolysis Work?

Broken down, Cryolipolysis means “cryo” = cold + “lipo” = fat + “lysis” = cell death. Simply put, when fat bulges come in direct contact with exact cooling temperatures, the cell membrane will crystalize and then rupture. Therefore, freezing fat cells causes cell death. The body no longer needs these obliterated cells, and the lymphatic system then excretes them as waste product.

After fat cells leave the body, they do not grow back. They are gone for good. This results in long-term fat reduction.

Freezing Fat Cells is Technique Sensitive

Cold Sculpting fat cells requires experience and skill. During the procedure, a technician places an applicator over a fat deposit. The applicator suctions the fat up into the applicator in preparation for freezing the fat. Next, the CoolSculpting machine freezes the fat cells to death.

Ideal Candidates for Freezing Fat Cells?

Freezing fat is meant for active, healthy men and women who struggle with bulges regardless of diet and exercise. Freezing fat is not meant as a weight loss program, nor is it meant to treat obesity.
