CoolTech – a non-invasive alternative to liposuction
The Cooltech device of the Spanish company for high technologies Cocoon Medical works on the principle of vulnerability of adipose tissue and fat cells (adipocytes) to temperature changes. Cryolipolysis is the controlled cooling of adipose tissue, which causes the destruction of fat cells (apoptosis of adipocytes). In this way we remove the excess fat cells that we have accumulated during periods of unhealthy eating.
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive and painless cryogenic technology that eliminates excess fat. It reduces local fat accumulation with the help of controlled cooling and vacuum. Cryolipolysis does not require prior and therapeutic preparation. The purpose of the procedure is to permanently reduce the body’s ability to store fat in certain areas. Cryolipolysis is performed after consultation with a specialist.
How does it work?
In cryolipolysis, the area is cooled painlessly to -8 degrees Celsius in less than three minutes, with the procedure itself lasting around 70 minutes. A cooling effect is generated until the tissue reaches the programmed temperature. The purpose of cooling is to eliminate 3 of the 5 main components of the fat cell and to achieve crystallization of at least 30% of the fat cells in this area in the first procedure. The vacuum removes only fat from the body, reduces blood flow to the treated area, which causes control over the targeted area. After this treatment, a natural process of fat removal through the lymphatic and excretory system begins. The method of cryolipolysis is based on the body’s natural processes. Fat is separated and isolated, and other tissues and collagen fibers remain protected. There is no recovery period after the procedure.
STAGES
Results
In general, after cryolipolysis, the treated area decreases by 1.3 cm to 5.3 cm ±. These results are visible up to 3 weeks after the first procedure. Re-treatment of the same area is done 1.5-2 months later. After 3 cryolipolysis procedures, 70% destruction of fat cells is achieved forever, which makes it one of the most sough after procedures for removing excess fat. The prices of cryolipolysis are highly competitive compared to those of invasive procedures of this type (liposuction). It can also be combined with anti-cellulite procedures for maximum effect. There is a lasting change in body shape. Good physical and nutritional regime helps preserve if permanently.
