COOLSCULPTING
CoolSculpting is one of the most effective non-invasive fat reduction treatments out there. It uses a
cooling technology referred to as cryolipolysis to crystallize fat cells and get the body to initiate its
own fat removal process. The procedure takes about one hour and has no downtime afterward.
a. How Cryolipolysis Works
Cryolipolysis, also known as “fat freezing”, is based on the statistic that adipocytes (fat cells) are
more vulnerable compared to other cells of the body. When exposed to extremely low
temperatures, they tend to undergo apoptosis which results in an inflammatory response and
ultimately, the removal of phagocytes. In the end, the whole subcutaneous layer will undergo a
volume reduction and restructuring as a result of the inflammatory response.
