Kryolipolyse (Cool-Freezing, Cool-Sculpting)

The treatment of fat deposits is a perennial aesthetic topic. It has long been standard practice in the USA and has also become increasingly popular in Europe in recent years.

Cryolipolysis is a relatively new, non-invasive procedure used to treat stubborn fat deposits. The treatment works by applying localized cooling to specific areas of the body without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. The procedure is based on scientific findings from the USA indicating that fat cells are more sensitive to cold stimuli than other tissue structures.

The fat cells are damaged by the cooling process because they are very sensitive to cold. Without heat, their blood supply is interrupted, causing them to die and subsequently be broken down by the metabolism. Cryolipolysis not only leads to fat reduction but also to a tightening of the subcutaneous tissue, so that further tightening procedures are usually unnecessary. Using a cooling applicator, the desired area containing the fat cells is cooled in a targeted and controlled manner for approximately 25 minutes. This triggers controlled cell death (apoptosis). The surrounding tissue, muscles, nerves, and skin remain unharmed.

To achieve good results, the treatment should be repeated after 4 to 6 weeks. In the weeks following the application, the "dead fat cells" are broken down and eliminated by the body. This results in a reduction of the fat layer and a natural reduction in circumference. This process is complete after three months.

Treatment areas include the abdomen, hips, waist, back, inner and outer thighs, and upper arms.

In my practice, I can offer the same service at significantly lower prices.
