Fat cells hate the cold, its science!

Clinical studies have documented that exposing fat cells to very low temperatures is a way of decaying them. Fat cells are more sensitive to temperature than many other types of cells in your body. The process in which
cold temperatures kill fat cells is called cryolipolysis. When the fatty cells are damaged, the body responds with inflammation in the treatment area. Inflammation takes about 30 days to peak after the procedure.
All destroyed components of the fat cells are taken up and eliminated permanently through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a secondary circulatory system that runs throughout the body which will drain
swelling and remove waste from the body. Waste may include byproducts of normal cell function and also the broken down parts of dead fat cells that have died as a result of cryolipolysis treatment. The lymphatic
system gathers up this extra fluid and broken down fat cells and then delivers them back to the bloodstream. It is then the job of the liver to break down the remaining bits of fat cells and the job of the kidneys
to help you to out what cannot be broken down.

Cryolipolysis is a non-surgical procedure that may take from one to several hours, depending on your customized treatment plan. No general/topical anesthesia or pain medication is required. As the procedure using a vacuum
applicator is initiated, vacuum pressure draws tissue into an applicator cup between cooling panels. The vacuum pressure may cause sensations of deep pulling, tugging and pinching in the area being treated. A surface
applicator may cause sensations of pressure. You also may experience intense stinging, tingling, aching or cramping. These sensations generally subside as the area becomes numb.

• The treated area may be red for up to a few hours after the applicator is removed. This is an expected but temporary effect after the procedure.
• Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur in the treated area. This typically resolves within a week or two.
• Nausea and tingling, stinging and cramping in the treatment area are often reported on treatment day. You may feel a temporary dulling of sensation in the treated area. This is normal and typically resolves within a

• If in pain, over the counter pain relief medications such as Tylenol, aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication (ex. Motrin, ibuprofen, Aleve) if no contraindication may be used as directed. A Lidocaine 4% patch is also
  helpful.
• Following the procedure, a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer will take place. You may start to see changes as early as four weeks after and you will experience the most dramatic results after one to
  three months. Your body will continue naturally to process the injured fat cells from your body for approximately four months after your procedure.
• In rare cases, patients have experienced vasovagal symptoms during the treatment, and reported freeze burn, darker skin color, hardness, discrete nodules or enlargement of the treated area. Surgical intervention may
  be required to correct the enlargement.
• Follow up Appointment: More than one treatment may be needed, depending on the size of the treated area and the desired outcome. We encourage patients to return for a follow up appointment and clinical
  assessment four months after the procedure. During this time we will evaluate the treated area(s) to review your clinical results and discuss the option of additional treatments to achieve your desired level of
  fat reduction. Weight gain will prevent you from appreciating your full results. We encourage you to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine after your procedure.
