CoolSculpting in Melbourne (also known as Cryolipolysis fat freezing) is a non-invasive treatment that can remove unwanted fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. This blog post contains answers to a number of frequently asked questions about the procedure.
How Does It Work?
Fat freezing treatments at The Greville Clinic are performed utilising French made, TGA registered medical grade technology, capable of reducing fat cell temperatures up to minus 12 degrees Celsius. This induces cell death, after which the vascular and lymphatic systems begin the natural process of eliminating the fat cells from the body. Depending on the level of localised fat density, 1 to 3 sessions are recommended per treatment area, with each session lasting from 30 to 60 minutes. To achieve the best results, it’s recommended to drink at least 2 litres of water per day as part of your aftercare to flush out the fat cells. You should also engage in moderate exercise and eat healthily.
What Areas Can Fat Freezing Target?
Fat freezing can be used to remove fat cells from multiple locations on the body, including but not limited to the following:
- Neck
- Jawline
- Thighs
- Abdomen
- Stomach
- Arms
- Back
- Bra line
- Buttocks
- Hips
What Are the Benefits?
CoolSculpting in Melbourne offers a range of benefits. If you find it hard to lose weight in certain areas, the procedure can safely target and treat multiple areas of the body with high efficacy. It can help achieve tighter skin in problem areas and is an excellent alternative to surgery, with no anaesthesia and no downtime involved.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Fat freezing is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, which means there are no risks of major side effects such as nerve and tissue damage. A qualified and experienced professional will ensure the procedure is carried out safely and correctly, protecting your skin at all times throughout the process. There’s also little to no downtime, so you can expect to resume your day as usual after your session. Minor side effects can include temporary numbness and redness along with cold sensations and mild bruising which will subside.
Is the Procedure Painful?
You may experience some minor discomfort, but any unpleasant feelings of cooling and pinching are temporary and will quickly subside once the area reaches minus 12 degrees Celsius and becomes numb. As a matter of fact, the procedure is relatively comfortable, with many taking it as an opportunity to relax.
How Long Does it Take to See Results?
Everyone is different, and the time it takes to see results can vary accordingly. Generally, results can be noticed as early as two weeks and continual improvements can be seen for up to three months. You can discuss your personal goals with a nurse or consultant who will be able to develop a tailored treatment plan and provide you with a better idea of when to expect results.
