Skindulgence

Fat freezing, or cryogenic lipolysis, is exactly like what it sounds – fat cells are frozen for a period of time in the aim to reduce them, and it’s a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. It originated after research was done into frostbite, and it was noted that fat cells would freeze before skin freezes.

As it’s a procedure done by a professional, it can selectively target anywhere, such as tummy, thighs, or arms, so that the patient can choose their problematic areas. Patients are required to sit for up to two hours while cooling paddles suction the skin and crystallize fat cells.

Benefits:

• Unlike with diet and exercise, fat cells are actually destroyed and removed from the body. This means the same fat cells cannot return or enlarge with weight gain.
• It is a low-risk procedure for most people.
• The skin barrier is not broken or compromised, removing most of the risk of complications, such as infection and scarring.
• There are few reported adverse reactions or outcomes.
• There is no need to take time off from work or everyday activities afterward.
• The results look natural, as they develop gradually in the weeks following the surgery.
• It can help people who have lost weight or at a healthy weight but still have excess fat in particular areas.
• There is less risk of regaining weight and results are long-lasting because fat cells are actually destroyed and removed from the body.
• The risk of skin dimpling or bumps is low because fat cells are destroyed evenly across a patch of skin.
