Question 1

What is coolsculpting fat removal and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

CoolSculpting, also known as Fat Freezing or Crylipolypolis treatment is a non-invasive fat removal or reduction treatment. It works to freeze areas of unwanted fat to help re-contour your body.

CoolSculpting works by freezing or crystallising the fat cells in the area being treated using cooling vacuums, surface plates or cups. The fat freezing technology selectively targets and destroys fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. Once the fat cells are treated, they are then destroyed and removed as your body processes the fat and removes these dead cells through a natural inflammatory clearing process. The procedure involves no surgery, no needles and there is minimal downtime following treatment.

CoolSculpting originated many years ago when scientists at Harvard University observed that children who ate ice lollies develop dimples in their cheeks. Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD began to realise that that ice could selectively damage small pockets of fat cells and from that; the technique of fat freezing was developed. The idea that the cold could target fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue was the insight behind cryolipolysis, the science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based on.

More than 7 million CoolSculpting fat freeze treatment cycles have been performed worldwide.

Question 3

How does fat freezing work?

Accepted Answer

At The Private Clinic, our fat freezing treatment is carried out with CoolSculpting which uses the cryolipolysis technique to freeze the fat.

CoolSculpting is suitable to be used on different areas of the body where stubborn fat can be found. Areas treated include the thighs, tummy, arms and under the chin. The treatment involves placing an applicator on the skin of the area that is being treated. The applicator applies freezing temperatures to the skin which freezes the fat cells beneath causing them to die however the surrounding skin and tissue is not affected. The controlled cooling technology is able to precisely target fat cells to the exact point when they crystallise and die which is a process is called apoptosis.

Once the fat cells have died, they are processed naturally by the body via the lymphatic system and then exposed of naturally by the body as waste.

The fat cells that have been removed from the body do not grow back meaning patients can expect long lasting results providing they maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Treatment can take from as little as 35 minutes, and multiple machines can even be used to treat different areas at the same time.
