Have you heard of criolipólisis? Well this is a novel system to reduce localized fat which is just coming to Spain.
It is a new technique, already approved in the European Union and Canada, which is indicated to reduce the volume and get rid of localized clusters of fat (not weight loss), and uses the cold reduction mode. Moreover, unlike other non-invasive system, leaves no marks or skin burns.
As explained in a study published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, fat cells are vulnerable to cooling, which can reduce them without causing tissue damage.
This technique was discovered and developed by a group of scientists from Harvard University, and according to its makers say is very promising.
So far, there was only a noninvasive technique to burn stored fat, which is based on heat and ultrasound. But as said Monica Gonzalez, a radiologist at Dermatology Group Pedro Jaen center where he has begun using criolipólisis, the previous procedure is “not having the desired results,” is “a bit annoying and there is also the risk of skin burns .
The specialist said that instead “the criolipólisis is painless, requires no anesthesia or recovery time and causes no damage to surrounding tissue (dermis, muscle, skin …).
In addition, it promises better results than those obtained using noninvasive ultrasound, but were not yet available through clinical trials with large numbers of patients who certified. Therefore, and as also said Gonzales has yet to spend a reasonable time, about two months, in order to provide an accurate report on its findings.
Broadly speaking, this new method is to place the body part to deal with an applicator, after making a vacuum effect in the region, runs cool and controlled precisely to achieve and eliminate fat cells.
Following this procedure, the body itself which eliminates, gradually and naturally, the remaining dissolved fat, or metabolized by the liver.
With regard to possible sequelae following a session (temporary) members mentioned that this may be some stiffness, or may even “appear bruising (due to the vacuum effect) and strain to touch, they disappear within weeks. Redness usually lasts a few hours.
Vale clarify that each session can last between one to two hours, depending on the area treated, and can be made weekly. However, the results begin to be felt until some two months later. It was reported that its approximate value can reach 500 euros “per cycle”.
Finally, officials emphasized that the criolipólisis not try a “way of losing weight is only indicated for thin patients with localized fat, it is difficult to eliminate through diet or exercise and is contraindicated in people with obesity or pregnancy.
