Cryolipolysis - fat reduction through cold
The active principle of cryolipolysis
Fat is more sensitive to cold than other tissues. The lipids contained in fat cells crystallize at low temperatures. This allows fat cells to be targeted by cryolipolysis. Other tissues such as muscles, nerves, and skin are not damaged during cryolipolysis.
Apoptosis (cell death) of fat cells releases cytokines and other inflammatory mediators. One to two months after application, the affected fat cells are gradually broken down. Lipids are slowly released from the fat cells and transported by the lymphatic system for processing. Because the lipids undergo a gradual breakdown process, no harmful changes in liver function or blood lipids are observed.
How cryolipolysis works
Unlike liposuction, cryolipolysis is performed without surgery! Fatty tissue is more susceptible to cold than surrounding tissue. A special handpiece is applied to the problem area and, using a controlled vacuum, sucks in the fat. The cooling plates in the handpiece draw energy from the underlying fatty tissue. A cold-protection membrane protects the skin, muscles, nerves, and surrounding tissue. Controlled cell death (apoptosis) is triggered in the cooled fat cells.
What happens to the fat cells afterwards?
The crystallized fat cells are slowly broken down and excreted via the lymphatic system, resulting in fat reduction and a reduction in body size. You can support this process with plenty of exercise and a lymphatic drainage treatment.
