WHAT IS CRYOLIPOLYSIS?
Cryolipo is a non-invasive spot reduction treatment. Using ‘fat-freezing’ technology, it allows you to target specific areas of stubborn fat (belly fat, love handles, flabby arms, etc.) and eliminate them for good.
Unlike exercise, which shrinks fat cells, cryolipo starts a process that results in the body naturally removing fat cells entirely from your body and the best part - they’re not replaced, they’re simply gone.
“For over a decade I had been advocating that spot reduction through diet and exercise was not possible. Cryolipo provides a solution to this limitation.”
- Dr. Anthony Bloomfield

HOW WELL DOES IT WORK?
How many fat cells are killed each treatment is dependant upon the following variabilities:
- How sensitive your particular fat cells are to temperature
- The density and "grab-ability" of the area being treated
- How you are positioned during the treatment
- How large and solid the "popsicle" (frozen block of fat) ends up being
- Which machine is used
- The experience of the practitioner
Due to the variability of biological responses between each individuals fat cells to freezing, some people need more treatments than others to reach their desired aesthetic goals for the treated areas. As such, there is no way to predict how sensitive a persons body is to the treatment until at least one session has been performed and the results of which are assessed over an 8 -12 week period.

IS IT SAFE?
Numerous clinical trials have shown that Cooltech is a safe way to eliminate fat without damaging surrounding tissue.
Contraindications include:
● Cryoglobulinaemia
● Paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria
● Pregnancy or lactation
● Known sensitivity to cold, such as cold urticaria or Raynaud’s disease
● Impaired peripheral circulation in the area to be treated
● Neuropathic disorders such as post-hepatic neuralgia or diabetic neuropathy
● Impaired skin sensation
● Open or infected wounds in the area to be treated
● Bleeding disorders or concomitant use of blood thinners
● Recent surgery or scar tissue in the area to be treated
● Hernia in, or adjacent to the treatment site
● Skin condition such as eczema, dermatitis, or rashes in the area to be treated
● Active implanted devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators: the effect of performing treatments directly over such devices is not known.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE AND WHEN WILL I RECEIVE RESULTS?
Cooltech is the only fat-freezing treatment with two handpieces able to work simultaneously and 6 different shaped heads. This allows you to treat twice the fat in the same amount of time, reducing treatments and fast-tracking results. The treatment takes approximately 60 minutes (smaller areas may have shorter treatment times) and results can become visible anywhere between 2 -12 weeks.
COOLTECH VS COOLSCULPTING VS CLATUU
Coolsculpting was the original fat freezing machine on the market with CoolTech the newly released device from Europe. There has never been a formal study comparing the two devices head to head so you should be skeptical of anyone who says that one is better than the other. That being said, I've been using the CoolTech device and lets just say I won't be changing anytime soon.
