Body Common myths about cryolipolysis Myth 3 Results are visible instantly Myth 1 Cryolipolysis is a method how to fight obesity Very common and mistaken viewpoint related to this procedure. Cryolipolysis is simply the tool for non-surgical removal of local stubborn fat deposits, the so-called fat traps in problem areas, for exam- ple, belly, arms, side of the belly, thighs. This treat- ment allows leveling the thickness of the subcuta- neous fatty tissue, and smooth out the relief, where there is too much fat, there are irregularities or dimples. If you just want to lose weight to longed- for 5-10-15 and so on kilograms, then you do not need to undergo the procedure, but join the gym. Myth 2 It is designed to remove sagging skin The effect of cryolypolysis concerns mainly fat re- duction under the skin and does not affect upper layer of the skin. Therefore it will not improve sag- ging skin. This can be addressed either by Ther- mage Radiofrequency Therapy (see page 11) or Ul- traformer III ultrasonic lifting. However, if you have good skin elasticity, it might naturally shrink and adjust to contouring body as the fat cells are slowly eliminating. Do not expect im- mediate results. Zel- tiq Coolsculpting is a non-surgical method and does not extract fat cells like liposuc- tion. It freezes them and then body flushes them naturally. The ef- fect will start to show gradually. The first results are noticeable after 3 weeks; however, the impact is the greatest after 2 months and will continue to grow six months after the treatment. Moreover, your transformation will look natural and unlike surgical methods, doesn’t involve scarring. Myth 4 It is not safe Zeltiq Coolsculpting was approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration), which means it was tested to be safe and effective. There are reports from patients to be burnt, scarred without an ef- fect, but bare in mind, there are lots of unqualified practitioners and uncertified machines trying to catch you on bargain prices. Myth 5 It is only suitable to target the fat in the stomach Cryolipolysis is very flexible and although it works very well in the belly area, in addition, it efficaciously contours love handles, muffin tops, arms or thighs. Regardless of the body area, Coolsculpting targets and cools fat cells to temperatures that trigger their natural death. The fat cells crystallize, begin to shrink, weaken, die and are naturally eliminated through body’s own metabolic system. YOUTH CODE 8 | 2018 | 11
