Men and women alike are now looking for fast, affordable and safe minimal invasive methods to stay young and attractive.
These treatments are not limited to facials, but may also cover body contouring and shaping.
For decades, liposuction has been the only accepted body shaping procedure, as well as a means of combating localized fat deposits.
Liposuction is now increasingly competing with non-invasive methods such as cryolipolysis. Although the results of these new technologies are not as fast, they do not have the side effects associated with surgery.
On the possibilities of cryolipolysis in body modeling and the fight against local fat deposits, read in an exclusive interview on estet-portal.com from a leading specialist in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine, trainer Allergan Medical Institute (AMI), founder and specialist of La Jouvence Clinic in Switzerland, Dr. Marva Safa Diana.

Mechanism of low temperature effect on body fat
M-S.D.: I would like to tell you more about the unique apparatus and technique – Coolsculpting, which is presented in Ukraine by company «Allergan». Coolsculpting – it is a device used in aesthetic medicine to combat fat deposits, the main mechanism of action of which is called − cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis involves the destruction of fat deposits by targeting fat cells with low temperatures.
Then, the breakdown products of body fat – water and carbon dioxide, the body removes naturally, with the help of tissue macrophages and a slight local inflammatory reaction.

Precise application of low temperatures results in the death of adipocytes, which are then engulfed and digested by macrophages. Immediately after treatment, no changes in the subcutaneous adipose tissue are observed.
An inflammatory process stimulated by adipocyte apoptosis, which is reflected in the influx of inflammatory cells, occurs within 3 days after treatment and peaks at about after 14 days, when adipocytes become surrounded by histiocytoma, neutrophils, lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells.
After 14-30 days after the procedure, macrophages and other phagocytes surround, envelop and digest lipid cells as part of the body's natural response to injury.
After four weeks after the procedure, the fat deposits are reduced, along with the volume of the adipocytev.
The introduction of cryolipolysis in the field of cosmetology to combat fat deposits
M-S.D.: The idea of using cryolipolysis to combat body fat has been studied by scientists for a long time. As we know, fat cells are very sensitive to low temperatures, unlike muscles and other tissues.
Using Coolsculpting – this is a local effect exclusively on body fat, while other tissues are intact.
Coolsculpting has been available on the market of aesthetic medicine for quite a long time, about 12 years. What is interesting about this technology is the local destruction of fat deposits with full control of the temperature of exposure by the doctor throughout the procedure, which minimizes damage to other tissues.
This makes Coolsculpting safe and effective.

I would also like to note the positive attitude of patients towards this procedure, which I constantly observe in my practice. Since the use of this technique for the destruction of body fat does not require much timeand.
Practical experience with Coolsculpting
M-S.D.: I have been using the Coolsculpting procedure in my clinic for 7 years. At the beginning of my practice, it was very surprising to see a picture of how satisfied the patients were due to the lack of an additional rehabilitation period.
When using the Coolsculpting procedure to combat fat deposits, the most important – this is correct assessment of the patient.
Indications for the use of cryolipolysis are: fat deposits in the abdominal wall, buttocks, arms and localized fat deposits in the chin area.
Before the procedure, the patient must be carefully examined by a doctor: the patient must be healthy and not have hernias or other changes in the area of the anterior abdominal wall and the white line of the abdomen, which are contraindications to the proceduress.

Adverse reactions and post-procedural period after using Coolsculpting
M-S.D.: After the examination, the physician should comprehensively evaluate those areas whose fat deposits need to be destroyed.
After that, using the nozzle, the doctor will cool the fat area for 35-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
After the procedure, the patient should also be aware of the secondary effects of cryolipolysis:
- feelings of warmth;
- possible slight swelling of the area for 1-2 days.
End result of fat loss observed after 2 months.
What else is interesting about the device Coolsculpting of the Allergan company: the patient can come to the clinic at the scheduled time, carry out the procedure for 1-2 hours and simultaneously treat several areas with fatty deposits.
Then the patient returns to an absolutely normal way of life.
