Cryolipolysis, for a non-surgical fat removal treatment, is exceedingly effective.

However, it is important to keep in mind that it is only effective for its intended use.

The purpose of cryolipolysis is to help remove the extra fat from specific areas of the body that diet and workouts alone are unable to.

Obesity treatment and weight loss cannot be achieved through fat freezing.

Through a single in-clinic fat freezing session, the average reduction of fat cells amounts to 22% – 45%.

Nevertheless, we are unable to guarantee any exact figures or definite results regarding fat removal through cryolipolysis.

The reason is that every individual responds differently to the treatment; thus, the results are also specific to the individuals.

Cryolipolysis is not designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Our fat freezing treatment will remove a substantial amount of fat cells from targeted areas of the body.

However, even more than a substantial quantity of fat cells removed is ever rarely enough to help lose weight.

The results of a cryolipolysis treatment are permanent.

The fat cells that get removed from the body through this treatment are gone for good.

That is because the body only has a limited amount of fat cells; once these are removed, the body will not try to generate more or restore them.

However, if a person’s lifestyle becomes unhealthy or they regularly consume more calories than they burn after cryolipolysis, their body will compensate.

Even with fat cells permanently removed, the remaining fat cells will grow in size in order to store the extra calories and result in added mass.

Once a person has undergone an in-clinic fat freezing treatment, they may experience some swelling and redness in the treated area.

These side effects do not stay for more than a few days and are naturally very mild.

Fat freezing can be done on other areas of the body besides the tummy.

It is true that the stomach is the body part that most of our clients choose for cryolipolysis treatment, but the treatment is just as effective on other body parts.

At our Leicester clinic, we provide cryolipolysis treatments for the following body parts:

• Chin
• Arms
• Chest
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Upper and lower back

It takes no time at all.

As cryolipolysis does not include any surgical methods, its fully non-invasive nature does not necessitate the patients to recover from it.

Besides the results, one of the prime benefits of the non-surgical treatments offered by VIVO Clinic is the absence of downtime.

With cryolipolysis, for instance, you can step outside the clinic and return to your day’s plans without any worries or breaks.

Many of our clients are able to get the intended results after only 1 or 2 in-clinic fat freezing sessions.

Nevertheless, some people may require more than 2 sessions to see the same levels of success from the treatment.

Cryolipolysis has a very specific purpose: non-surgical removal of fat that diet and/or exercise alone cannot remove.

By design, cryolipolysis is not able to treat obesity.

Even though cryolipolysis will safely and effectively get rid of excess fat cells from specific regions of your body, it cannot relieve you from cellulite.

If you are looking for a similarly non-invasive procedure for cellulite that does not involve surgery, you can look into our Cellulite Reduction Treatment.

Like cryolipolysis, our anti-cellulite treatment at the Leicester clinic will not stop you from your day’s planned activities immediately after the treatment.

Similar to how cryolipolysis is not an appropriate treatment for obesity and cellulite, it is also not a suitable treatment for loose or stretched skin.

You can schedule a consultation for our Radio Frequency Tummy Tightening at the Leicester clinic if you want loose stomach skin addressed in a non-surgical way.

And for the skin of your face, HIFU Facelift is a fantastic, non-surgical facial skin tightening procedure.

Cryolipolysis at our Leicester clinic is performed with the use of vacuum applicators.

The vacuum applicator is positioned over the area of excess fat, and the suction mechanism of the device pulls the patch of fat into its cavity.

The cryolipolysis applicator then subjects the patch of fat inside the cavity to a temperature of -7°C.

The skin of the area being treated will be protected from the freezing temperature with a gel pad that is applied in advance.

The freezing temperature inside the applicator’s hollow cavity will efficiently crystallise fat cells for the next 30 to 90 minutes.

However, it is important to note that the initial 5 to 10 minutes of treatment may result in some discomfort.

There may be some mild cramping due to the vacuum mechanism of the applicator, and the sub-zero cold may feel unpleasant.

Regardless, the feelings of discomfort are replaced by numbness within a few minutes.

After which, you may expect the rest of the session to continue smoothly.

Cryolipolysis was approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) for use in fat-reduction procedures back in 2010.

Prior to the clearance from the FDA, cryolipolysis was discovered by scientists when they noticed large dimples appearing on children’s cheeks when they ate popsicles.

On further analysis, they realized that the cold from the freezing sweets killed the fat cells where there was prolonged contact.

Although the fat cells were killed, the other tissues and outer skin of the children’s cheeks remained unharmed.
