Cryolipolysis uses extreme cold to freeze fat cells in targeted areas, which causes some of them to die.
The intent is not weight loss; rather, it is to reduce areas of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise
and, thus, for the individual to look slimmer
What Is Fat Freezing?
"Fat freezing-or cryolipolysis-is a non-invasive procedure where fat cells are frozen and then die," Dr. Strom says.
The procedure, which lasts 30-50 minutes, does not require anesthesia or medication and is meant to target
specific areas of stubborn fat such as:
Under chin
Upper arms
Thighs
Abdomen
Flanks ("love handle" area)
Back
Beneath the buttocks
What Results Can I Expect With Fat Freezing?
Since the procedure kills fat cells instead of removing them, it can take several weeks for the cells to completely
break down and for you to see results. Depending on how large the target area is, you may need a series of sessions.
Fat freezing can reduce fat in a specific area by 20 to 80 percent. "The results will last up to six to nine years," says
Dr. Strom. But this process does not prevent new fat cells from forming, so the results aren't necessarily permanent.
Theoretically, they could last longer with proper diet and exercise.
Is Fat Freezing Safe?
Cryolipolysis is an FDA-approved procedure and is considered safe. Dr. Strom says there may be a few temporary
side effects from the treatment process such as:
Swelling
Skin sensitivity
Bruising
Discoloration of the skin
Localized pain
