Cryolipolysis (cryolysis) – This is a technique for splitting the layer of subcutaneous fat, which is triggered by exposure to low temperatures. An important distinguishing feature is that during cryolipolysis, fat cells are destroyed, apoptosis – this is a mechanism of programmed self-destruction of the fat cell, while during normal weight loss, the cells only decrease in volume.

Mechanism of the procedure for cryodestruction of fat deposits using the Coolsculpting device
L.L.: When using the Coolsculpting company «Allergan» the destruction of fat deposits occurs by stimulating apoptosis – fat cell destruction process, which is regulated.
Such a death is considered safe for the body, since it is not accompanied by a pronounced inflammatory reaction and the release of fat cell breakdown products into the lymphatic and circulatory systems.
It should be noted that this result is irreversible. The duration of the procedure, in which the doctor cools the adipose tissue, can take as little as 35 minutes.

Cryolipolysis can be performed at any time without prior preparation.
Thanks to this procedure, the body will be able to tighten up, become slim without flabbiness and sagging of the skinand.
Coolsculpting: long-term effect in the fight against local fat deposits
Factors that affect the duration of the recovery period and the effectiveness of cryolipolysis
L.L.: As far as we know, after cryolipolysis with Coolsculpting, the patient can leave the hospital and return to their previous lifestyle.
At the same time, there are no restrictions on physical activity – the patient can run, exercise because there is no recovery period.
It should be noted that the procedure causes almost no discomfort. The first minutes the skin gets used to the cold, and then does not respond to the stimulus. In addition, the degree of cooling is controlled by the system.
Methods to increase the duration and effectiveness of botulinum toxin action
A very important factor increasing the effectiveness of the procedure: immediately after cooling the adipose tissue, it is necessary to carry out local massage of the affected area.
This procedure allows you to quickly bring fat cells into a kind of "shock" state; and increases the effectiveness of the procedure by 68%.
Of course, there are other factors to consider, such as:
- diet;
- physical exercise;
- body care.
The result is evaluated after 3-4 months, therapy may include more than 1 procedure, the interval between which should be about two months. Of course, this period is individual and the rate of splitting of fatty tissue is influenced by the characteristics of the organism of each patienta.
Areas of the body that respond best to cryolipolysis therapy with Coolsculpting
L.L.: With the help of this device it is possible to carry out the therapy of fat deposits on almost any part of the body. The method is suitable for correcting local problem areas.
The unique applicators of the cryolipolysis device create a vacuum, which allows you to effectively perform the procedure where other cosmetic procedures are difficult.
At this stage, there has been a kind of evolution – we can target fat deposits, for example in the subchin area.
At the same time, very good results are observed when working with fat deposits in the buttocks and abdominal wall, where we have a different number of indications for this therapy.
We try our best to meet the needs of our patients
When we talk about contraindications, we mean pathological reactions and sensitivity to cold triggers, such as:
Raynaud's syndrome;- open wounds;
- cryoglobulinemia;
- defects of the anterior abdominal wall – hernia.
- Most people who seek cryolipolysis are healthy and only need
, however we should also be aware of these contraindications despite the widespread use of the procedure among a large number of people.
Anatomical features and dealing with complications in the correction of the lower third of the face In general, all
complicationswith Coolsculptingfrom Allergan are related to how the patient feels during or after the procedure, for example, pain during the massage, but they pass quickly. There may also be
rednessas a result of hypersensitivity of the superficial capillary networks. These are the most common complications, although I rarely see these reactions in my practice, in most cases patients tolerate the procedure perfectly well.
The most important component in the fight against local fat deposits is the cryolipolysis procedure, not as a single method, but in combination.
We must encourage the patient to take care of his body.
