Results From Fat Freezing

Get body sculpted results with the latest Fat Freezing procedure.

With exercise a pretty time consuming way to lose stubborn pounds, the latest celebrity trend of cosmetic treatment is to simply freeze your fat away – but that would be dangerous and leave you with a stomach like a frozen chicken right?

The short answer to this questions is no, this is not the case. We’re going to discuss the top 10 must know things about the fat freezing and how to lose that stubborn fat using cooling technology – now thats cool.

Can You Really Freeze The Fat Off?

Cryogenic lipolysis is the scientific term for simple process of switching off fat cells. The technical name for fat freezing is cryolipolysis (cryogenic lipolysis) and was first introduced by Coolsculpting in the United States. Fat freezing cools fat cells down to a temperature initiating the apoptosis process, the process where fat cells die and are later removed by the body over the 6 – 12 week period.

Apoptosis is the fancy name for the end of a cell’s life cycle and a process supposedly sped up by fat freezing treatment through targeting your problem fatty areas with controlled cooling. The procedure is quick, easy and safe and has been FDA approved for its therapeutic effects.

So in simple terms, fat freezing kills the fat cell and disposes of the dead fat cells over the 6 – 12 week period through the lymphatic system (the body’s waste mechanism) – urinating them out of the body by drinking lots of water. The body is very effective at removing dead cells and breaks them down after the fat freezing procedure.

Pee Away Fat Cells

Yes! You really do pee away fat cells after your treatment and they also come out in your sweat and you breath them out too. Peeing, pooping, sweating and breathing is all part of the natural process of removing waste from the body. The same way a blood cell or virus is disposed of by white blood cells through the lymphatic system, fat cells that are killed by the fat freezing treatment are disposed of in the same way.

Although the fat cells are destroyed during the fat freezing procedure, there is no permanent damage to the surrounding skin, it’s just a way of speeding up what is a natural process. You wont actually see or feel fat in the toilet bowl.

Is Fat Freezing Very Cold?

Fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than water, so there’s no hiding from the fact that whichever area you’re targeting with the treatment, it’s going to feel a little cold. Fat freezing freeze fat to below – 6 degrees and destroys the fat cells by the process of apoptosis.

There are a few myths about how cold the fat cells need to be for the process to work effectively. The temperatures we use at RT Aesthetics are obviously low and it isn’t something people should try at home with a bag of ice cubes. Don’t worry about feeling cold, the temperatures we use are comfortable and targeted so you wont feel cold all over. Many people think that for this process to work, the colder, the better, but that simply isn’t the case and this can be dangerous.

RT Aesthetics clinicians are fully trained and we use very-modern 360 fat freezing equipment including protective membranes to shield the skin. That’s why it is important to only visit an expert in the treatment.

Fat Freezing Results

One of the most frequently asked questions patients ask about Fat Freezing is: What results will I get from fat freezing? Like many cosmetic treatments, results vary from person to person, there is no immediate impact from the fat freezing procedure. So we thought we would give you the low down on what to expect and how you can support the results you achieve after your procedure.

Cryolipolysis is an effective, non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for the reduction of stubborn body fat. It is ideal for treating pockets or bulges of soft or hard, squeezable body fat. These are our typical areas we love to hate such as belly fat, muffin tops, man boobs, love handles and overall cellulite.

Some people notice the beginnings of changes within a couple of weeks after the procedure, although typically it can take up to around 12 weeks to see the full extent of the treatment, depending on your a individual response to the treatment. The treatment however does not require a course of sessions, although some people wanting to rid a large amount of stubborn fat may wish to have a second session 12 weeks later.

You could achieve a visible reduction of the pocket or bulge of fat following a fat freeze treatment and RT Aesthetics invites all our clients back for a post treatment review at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. At this point we will compare your before and after photos to highlight the results achieved and take any measurements needed.

Side Effects From Fat Freezing

One of the main benefits of having a fat freezing procedure is that the side effects are very minimal and only include pinkness that lasts up to an hour after the treatment or minimal bruising. There is no down time after the treatment and patients can carry on with their regular life immediately after leaving the clinic – they can drive home, go to work or even the gym.

Compare this with liposuction, where swelling and bruising can last for months, this is a real bonus. There is also no risks of infections and serve complications that can happen with liposuction. On some occasions the 360 fat freezing applicator may leave a small, temporary pressure mark, but examples of bruising are pretty much eradicated by the new technology we use at RT Aesthetics.

Sagging Skin After Fat Freezing – A Myth

Pinkness is usually the only effect the treatment has on the skin as, only fat cells are targeted by the treatment. Fat cells are effected by the fat freezing treatment but the skin is not effected. Skin is very elastic, and is able to accommodate changes like this, so it doesn’t leave a saggy pocket.

Where there is already loose skin, it can help make the area appear smaller as the fat layer underneath has been reduced, but it doesn’t actually tighten the skin. However, there are treatments such as HIFU and Radio Frequency that can help with this problem.

Its always best to book a face to face consultation with the clinic to ensure your needs are fully assessed by an advance aesthetic practitioner and your happy with the procedure and outcomes. Its important to always go to a aesthetic clinic and not to a beauty salon as they are not specialists in this area.
