Cryolipolysis: The Body Contouring Trend of 2021

The most appealing body aesthetics trend of 2021 is none other than slimming. Given the lockdown periods, everyone wants to take their figure back in hand. Now is the time to find out how to slim down with cold.

How can you lose weight with cold? To answer this question, many new concepts are being tested in search of the right solution. As a result, cryolipolysis, a revolutionary technique that uses the effects of cold to break down fat cells, has emerged and could eventually replace traditional liposuction.

In this article, we take a closer look at the cryo slimming procedure, as in our articles on body contouring surgery in Tunisia, covering the origins of this medical phenomenon, the number of sessions required, and its cost.

What Is Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is a cosmetic treatment technique that uses cold to destroy fat cells. Developed by researchers at Harvard University, this method is based on the principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other types of cells. When exposed to very low temperatures, they undergo a crystallization process that leads to their destruction.

Cryolipolysis: What Is It About?

It is a clearly cosmetic procedure used to reduce weight. However, this approach involves no surgery. As a result, patients no longer need to go under the scalpel or even undergo anesthesia. This treatment requires very low temperatures, around minus three or four degrees for one hour, to destroy fat cells.

According to scientific research, cryolipolysis offers a result comparable to liposuction, without all the minor after-effects that a surgical procedure entails.

Who Can Benefit from Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is particularly well suited to people who:

• Have a stable weight and want to eliminate localized fat.
• Want a non-invasive treatment without anesthesia.
• Are in good general health and have no contraindications.

Some people are not ideal candidates for cryolipolysis, in particular those with health conditions such as skin diseases, circulatory disorders or metabolic disorders.

What You Need to Know Before Getting Started

Before starting a cryolipolysis treatment, it is crucial to consider several factors:

• Choose a Qualified Professional: Make sure you consult an experienced, certified practitioner. Check the reviews and testimonials of former patients.
• Realistic Expectations: Be aware that cryolipolysis is not a miracle solution. Discuss your expectations with the practitioner to make sure they are realistic.
• Post-Treatment Follow-Up: Follow-up may be necessary to assess the results and adjust recommendations regarding diet and exercise.

The Technical Process of Cryolipolysis

The cryolipolysis technique using the CRISTAL™ device is well suited to small and medium areas of fat.

Fat cells are very sensitive to cold, and their transformation through cryolipolysis takes place in the following ways:

• - directly through the crystallization of fatty acids, supported by apoptosis (the damaged cell destroys itself).
• - indirectly through the activation of lipolysis, driven by the stimulation of the nervous system.
• - a marked breakdown of the fat cells over a period of 6 weeks to 3 months.

According to the results, cryolipolysis is now a good non-invasive alternative to liposuction, since it leaves no scars.

Benefits of Cryolipolysis

First, it should be noted that cryolipolysis is completely painless; in other words, you will feel absolutely nothing. The procedure is gentle since, in practice, the practitioner must take the delicacy of the skin into account.

In practice as well, a cryolipolysis session eliminates on average 30 to 40% of the fat cells targeted by the device.

To achieve maximum effectiveness with cryolipolysis, the practitioner must work on genuinely fatty areas and must not use it on weakened skin, such as the abdomen after pregnancy. It is also advisable to exercise, stay active and eat a varied diet.

It is noted that 90% of patients see a loss at 3 months of:

• - 3 to 5 cm for the saddlebags
• - 3 to 10 cm for the belly
• - 1 to 3 cm for the knees and arms
• - The skin fold decreased by 1 to 2 cm for the love handles.

Cost of Cryolipolysis

The cost of cryolipolysis varies depending on the areas to be treated, the amount of fat to be eliminated and the number of sessions the patient needs.

According to our specialists, the price for one area is around 200 € per session. The price for 3 sessions is 550 €. For two areas, the rate is 380 € per session and 980 € for 3 sessions.

Patient Testimonials

Many patient testimonials highlight the effectiveness of cryolipolysis. For example, a patient who underwent treatment for her belly reported a significant reduction in her waist measurement, which helped her regain her confidence. Other patients, after targeting their thighs, also noticed a slimmer, more toned figure.
