Fat Freezing.

 

Fat freezing or Cryo-lipolysis is a safe and nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that exposes the skin to temporary cold temperatures to reduce the body's fat deposits in certain areas.

Fat freezing is designed to reduce, and eliminate, localized fat deposits or bulges in different parts of the body which do not respond to proper diet and daily exercise. Fat freezing is best suited in areas of the body like the chin, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, abdomen, hips, flanks, upper and lower back, and underneath the buttocks.

Fat freezing treatments are safe and can be performed in any doctor's clinic or outpatient clinic with the size and shape of fatty deposits to be removed outlined with a skin-marker. With fat-freezing therapy, patients do not require sedation and are awake during the procedure.

It generally takes up to one hour to treat an area using the fat-freezing treatment with the areas treated being massaged afterward to assist in the breakdown of the fat cells in the body. Fat freezing works on the principle that the body's fat cells are more susceptible to damage when cold temperatures are applied compared to other cells like skin cells. By degrading the fat cells in the body fat freezing Bristol triggers an inflammatory response in the body which encourages the immune system to rid the body of its dead fat cells.

Fat freezing results in noticeable changes in the body after just three weeks of treatment with a dramatic improvement more evident after about two months. Fat freezing is an ideal and very safe, fat reduction treatment as no surgical incisions are required and with no risk of infections. It can be easily performed on an outpatient basis and does not require patients to be sedated before undergoing the procedure.

Fat freezing also allows more than one area of the body to be treated with patients easily resuming their normal daily activities immediately after treatment. While fat freezing is not ideal, and even avoided, on severely obese patients it can be performed on people of all ages.

Possible damage to nerve fibers, blood vessels, and muscles, or lasting damage to the skin in the treatment area are also non-existent during fat freezing with dissolved fat cells safely metabolized and permanently removed from the body.

However, some restrictions to fat-freezing treatments still apply like it is recommended only for people that are in good general health and with no neurologic or orthopedic problems, and only require fat reduction in specific areas of the body. It is not recommended for people who have obesity.

Fat freezing may also require more than one fat-freezing treatment session to achieve a patient's desired results. And if more than one fat-freezing treatment session is required, the following session must not be performed until after six to eight weeks after the first session.

The reasoning behind this is that the body commonly takes this long to eliminate dissolved fat cells from the body. While any noticeable fat reduction results are not evident immediately after a fat freezing session, since fat cells generally take time to be eliminated from the body, it can still be reasonably expected to take between three to six months to achieve optimal fat reduction results.
