Principle

Cryolipolysis is an aesthetic procedure used to reduce cellulite and excess fat. It is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction. This procedure involves destroying fat using cold. Thanks to the low temperature, 30% of fat cells are destroyed during the procedure. To obtain the best results, before starting the sessions, an appointment with a nutritionist is necessary to determine the areas to be treated and personalise the treatment. 
The session is then divided into 4 stages:

Firstly, the doctor takes the patient's measurements and a few photos to check and measure the effectiveness of the procedure.

Next, the doctor applies a protective gel to the area to be treated. This gel provides comfort and a better grip for the device.

Once the gel has been applied, the doctor applies the cryolipolysis device to the area to be treated. The area will then be sucked up by the device and cooled to -3 to -8 degrees for around an hour.  Rest assured, the procedure is painless.

When the session is over, some doctors massage the treated area for a few minutes to break up the fat cooled by the machine.

Cryolipolysis can be performed on the stomach, hips, thighs, arms, saddlebags, etc.
