Fat removal without “downtime”
Fat reduction with LipoCryo is a method for removing fat from specific areas of the body without any form of surgery.
Fat removal with LipoCryo works on the principle of fat freezing, where the machine sucks the skin into a vacuum nozzle and cools the underlying fat cells to approximately 3 degrees (which is approximately the freezing point of fat). This is done without damaging the overlying skin and underlying nerves and organs. When the fat cells are exposed to this low temperature, they crystallize and are permanently destroyed, and are eventually excreted by the body.
How does the treatment work?
The treatment is performed by attaching a LipoCryo vacuum mouthpiece to the area to be treated, which sucks in the skin and underlying fat and cools it down. The patient will feel slight discomfort from the vacuum effect and the area will feel cold at first, but this will gradually subside. After the treatment, the skin will feel cold and hard for a short period of time. There is nothing to prevent you from resuming normal activities immediately after treatment. The treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes per area to be treated.
Who is this treatment for?
LipoCryo is suitable for people who have fat deposits (typically on the stomach, buttocks, thighs, etc.) that are difficult to remove with regular exercise and diet. It is important to remember that LipoCryo is not a substitute for exercise and a healthy diet, but a method for removing fat from problem areas.
What can you expect?
The amount of fat removed after treatment varies greatly from person to person, but normally 20-25% is removed after one treatment. In order for the body to have time to eliminate the destroyed fat cells, it will take up to 6 weeks before the full effect of the treatment is visible.
Is the result permanent?
The fat cells that are destroyed during treatment are gone forever. Unlike normal weight loss with a calorie deficit, where fat cells simply become smaller (empty), the fat cells in the treated area are destroyed forever. If you maintain a stable weight and do not have a calorie surplus, your body will not produce more fat cells. In any case, it will always be more difficult to gain fat in the treated area.
Who cannot be treated?
- We do not treat pregnant women.
- We do not treat those who have cold allergies.
- We cannot treat you if you have an underlying hernia at the treatment site.
- Raynaud's disease/phenomenon.
- Cryoglobulinemia syndrome.
- Circulation problems.
- We do not treat areas with eczema, inflammation, or wounds.
Immediately after treatment
- Drink plenty of water during the first 2 hours.
- Avoid eating a large meal for at least 2 hours after treatment, so that the initial waste products can pass quickly out of the body.
- After treatment, the skin will be red, hard, and cold. The skin is massaged for about 5 minutes immediately after treatment.
- The skin may be somewhat tender for the first few days after treatment, especially if the treatment area is directly impacted.
You can return to your normal work duties immediately after treatment,
but physically demanding work and exercise on the same day are not recommended.
