At the Epilium & Skin aesthetic medicine center in Paris, the cryolipolysis service is based on Allergan’sCoolsculpting technology, a cold slimming method. Thanks to its dual FDA and CE certification, cryolipolysis is recognized for its safety and effectiveness in eliminating localized fat deposits without surgery. Designed to target and destroy fat cells, this technology delivers localized, long-lasting fat loss, while preserving surrounding tissue.
Who can benefit from cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is designed for individuals seeking targeted body contouring without the need for surgery. This treatment is particularly suited to men and women with localized fatty deposits, often resistant to diet and exercise. Unlike invasive methods such as liposuction, cryolipolysis stands out for its non-invasive approach, ideal for those seeking figure enhancement without incision or anesthesia. Ideal candidates are people who are close to their ideal weight and are looking to target specific areas where fat has become stubbornly established, such as love handles or the lower abdomen. The treatment is not recommended for people suffering from certain medical conditions, such as Raynaud’s disease or coagulation disorders, or for pregnant women.
How cryolipolysis works
Cryolipolysis technology is based on a controlled cooling process that lowers the temperature of fat cells until they undergo programmed cell death, a process known as apoptosis. This medically-approved method destroys fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue, using applicators equipped with thermal sensors to ensure a constant, safe temperature. The cryolipolysis approach enables progressive elimination of fat cells via the lymphatic system, offering a natural, long-lasting result without surgery or needles. The process is suitable for individuals seeking a fat reduction of around 20-30% per session, with visible results a few months after the initial treatment.
The benefits of cryolipolysis
- Non-invasive treatment: Cryolipolysis, with its CoolSculpting® technology, offers many advantages for those wishing to reshape their figure without surgery. Unlike more invasive methods, cryolipolysis requires no anesthesia, hospitalization or incisions.
- Guaranteed safety: Thanks to advanced Freeze Detect® technology, cryolipolysis guarantees maximum safety by maintaining an optimal temperature that eliminates fat without risk of tissue necrosis. This treatment uses a controlled cooling process to target and destroy fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue.
- Only one session needed: In most cases, only one session is needed to achieve visible results, and the fat-reducing effects can be permanent, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
- No post-operative pain or after-effects: It also avoids post-operative pain and scarring, making it ideal for patients seeking a gentle yet effective solution.
- Long-lasting results: The results of Cryolipolysis appear progressively over the weeks, with a natural, continuous improvement in the silhouette, with no interruption to social or professional life.
- No side effects: The treatment also remodels tissues, without impacting lipid levels or liver function, guaranteeing an aesthetic option with no health consequences.
Cryolipolysis therefore offers a non-invasive solution, with no social eviction, and lasting results for those wishing to reduce localized fat deposits and refine their bodies in complete safety.
Indications for cryolipolysis and areas treated
The areas treated by cryolipolysis mainly include parts of the body where fat tends to lodge persistently. Among the most common areas are :
- belly,
- hips and love handles,
- inner and outer thighs,
- saddlebags,
- back and flanks,
- arms,
- double chin.
These areas are chosen according to fat accumulation and distribution, making Cryolipolysis ideal for redefining the silhouette by targeting localized fat deposits. By limiting treatment to targeted areas, Cryolipolysis enables patients to achieve proportionate results without drastically altering their overall appearance, making it a popular solution for those seeking subtle but perceptible changes.
How a cryolipolysis session works
Cryolipolysis treatment is a quick and easy procedure, generally lasting between 30 and 60 minutes per area, although this may vary depending on the thickness of the fat and the area treated. The treatment takes place in several stages:
- An initial consultation with a practitioner helps determine the treatment areas and establish a personalized plan.
- During the session, the cryolipolysis applicator is placed over the chosen area, where it gently sucks skin and fat into a cooling device. The sensation of cold may be intense at first, but diminishes rapidly as the area becomes numb.
- Once the session is over, a massage is often performed to reactivate circulation and optimize the elimination of fat cells.
- After treatment, no rest period is required, enabling patients to resume their activities immediately.
Treatment follow-up and recommendations
Side effects may include redness, bruising or increased sensitivity in the treated area, which generally disappear within a few days. To optimize results, Epilium & Skin recommends avoiding :
- aspirin for three days,
- intense sport for a month,
- saunas and steam baths to avoid any impact on the natural elimination of fat cells.
Contraindications to cryolipolysis
Some contraindications include :
- pregnancy,
- hernias,
- reactivity to cold (Raynaud’s disease),
- wounds or skin problems in the area to be treated,
- circulatory problems.
