In the pursuit of an ideal body shape, Cryolipolysis technology has emerged as a new favorite among many weight loss enthusiasts in recent years. This black technology, which claims to be “non-invasive, painless, and has no recovery period”, promises to achieve the magical effect of “lying down and losing weight” by allowing fat cells to naturally apoptosis through precise low-temperature treatment. From Hollywood stars to ordinary office workers, more and more people are trying this seemingly easy way of losing weight. But behind this trend, we cannot help but ask: Is cryolipolysis a revolutionary beauty breakthrough or another overly packaged marketing gimmick? This article will take you on a deeper exploration of the scientific principles of this technology, analyze clinical research data, and reveal its true weight loss effects and potential risks. Let’s dispel the marketing fog together and examine this controversial weight loss technology with a scientific perspective.
Invisible Health Killer: Obesity is Eroding your Quality of Life
Affect aesthetics and temperament
A good body shape enhances personal qualities and aura, and this outward to inward transformation of the body can give people a sense of rebirth, with confidence naturally expressed through the body.
Cause various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Obesity can easily lead to various vascular diseases. Obese people have excessive subcutaneous fat accumulation.In addition, the internal organs and blood vessels throughout the body are also filled with fat, which can easily cause various vascular diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that pose a serious threat to health and life.
Easy to cause motor system disorders
Affect athletic ability and increase the burden on bones and joints. Over time, accumulated fatigue will inevitably lead to diseases such as arthritis, muscle strain, or spinal nerve root compression, causing lower back, leg, shoulder, and back pain, and even joint changes, severely affecting colloid activity.
Cause sub-health in the body
Easy to feel fatigue and lack of energy, which can lead to a decline in other bodily functions.
Traditional Weight-losing Method VS. Fat Freezing Method
There are many traditional weight loss methods, such as dieting, which can cause rapid weight loss, but rebound quickly and cause digestive system disorders while rebounding, affecting quality of life. In severe cases, it can harm physical health and cause poor basal metabolism. Although exercise for weight loss is a scientifically effective method, it is not easy to adhere to and can easily cause strain on some organs in the body. Drug weight loss has significant side effects, weak targeting, and is prone to rebound. Surgical weight loss is the process of directly extracting fat from the human body, which can be effective immediately. However, it can cause significant damage to the body, such as infection and rebound, and uneven skin.
Cryolipolysis utilizes the triglycerides in human fat to be converted into solids at a low temperature of 5 ℃. The precise control of freezing energy through a non-invasive freezing energy extraction device delivers the energy to the designated lipolysis site, effectively eliminating fat cells in the designated area. After being cooled to a specific low temperature, the triglycerides in the designated area transform from liquid to solid, crystallize and age, and gradually die. Through metabolism, the body’s fat gradually decreases, achieving the effect of local lipolysis and body shaping. It will not pose any harm to the human body.
Original Fat
Treated Fat Cells are Frozen
The Body Naturally Dissolve and Flushes Away the Frozen Fat Cells
Up to 24% Fat Reduction
The Science Behind Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis therapy targets adipocytes by cooling them to a temperature that triggers apoptosis. Over time, the body will automatically metabolize these apoptotic cells, reducing the fat layer. The scientific principle is that fat cells are particularly sensitive to cold compared to skin and other subcutaneous tissues. At specific temperatures, fat cell lipids begin to crystallize and trigger apoptosis. After treatment, the body’s immune system will naturally process apoptotic cells through inflammation clearance mechanisms.
The Exciting Technological Advantages of Cryolipolysis
Comfortable and safe. Non invasive treatment, comfortable treatment process, no adverse feelings, no need for special care after treatment, no recovery period, and no risks.
The therapeutic effect is significant. A single treatment can effectively reduce the waist circumference by 2-6 cm, and the weight loss method based on reducing the number of fat cells effectively mitigates the risk of rebound after weight loss.
Easy to operate. Therapists can set the treatment parameters according to the thickness of fat, without the need for special techniques or skills. The operation is simple and easy to master.
Save labor costs. When seeking treatment, all you need to do is set the treatment parameters, place the handle on the treatment site, and wait for the end of the treatment. There is no need for additional kneading throughout the entire process. During the guest treatment process, the beautician can also arrange time to do other things or provide treatment for other guests.
Analysis of Potential Complications of Cryolipolysis
Although cryolipolysis has high stability, there may still be some complications or adverse reactions. Common side effects include: redness, swelling, and bruising of the skin. The treated area may experience brief redness, swelling, and bruising. Numbness and stinging: After freezing, there may be a brief numbness and stinging sensation in the treated area. Mild pain and discomfort: Some patients may feel mild pain and discomfort after treatment, which usually subsides within a few days after treatment.
Cryolipolysis Treatment Post-Care GuidelinesDo not take a hot shower on the day of treatment.
Do not soak in hot springs, steam saunas, or massage the treated area within one week after treatment.
Local redness after treatment is normal and can subside within 4-6 hours. Some individuals may have similar post cupping symptoms that take about 5-7 days to subside.
After treatment, there is no need to go on a diet, just eat normally and avoid overeating. Eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and accelerate metabolism.
List of Contraindications for Cryolipolysis Treatment
Obese patients: Cryolipolysis weight loss is not a treatment for obesity. Obese patients should first lose weight through diet and exercise.
Skin disease patients: Cryolipolysis is not suitable for those with skin diseases, open wounds, or severe scars at the treatment site.
Pregnant and lactating women: Due to limited research on the stability of this population, it recommends that pregnant and lactating women avoid undergoing cryolipolysis.
Q&A
Q: Does it take time for recovery after cryotherapy?
A: Cryotherapy is completely non-invasive and does not require time for recovery. After you step off the treatment table, you can move around as usual, including work and all kinds of exercise.
Q: What are the reactions of adipocytes after cryotherapy?
A: After the freezing treatment, the fat cells in the treated area will crystallize due to freezing, beginning a natural process of decomposition and clearance. These cells will be gently eliminated through the body’s normal metabolic processes, and this situation will continue until the fourth month, ultimately causing the fat layer in the treated area to gradually thin out.
Q: How long can customers observe the therapeutic effect?
A: After three weeks of treatment, patients can feel a change in fat thickness at the treatment site, but significant and measurable fibrotic effects are usually observed two months after a single cryotherapy session. At that time, you should meet with your physician to evaluate your body shaping progress and consider whether additional cryolipolysis sessions are needed to achieve better fibrotic effects.
Q: How many cryolipolysis treatments do I need to undergo to achieve satisfactory weight loss results?
A: Two to four months after the first cryolipolysis treatment, the physician will arrange for you to have a follow-up examination to evaluate your body shaping progress and consider additional cryolipolysis treatments in order to achieve better lipid-lowering effects. After scientific evaluation, if necessary, the physician will arrange for you to undergo a second course of treatment.
Q: How long does the cryolipolysis treatment take?
A: The treatment for a specific area usually takes 40 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treated area. You can consult a physician about the duration of your treatment.
