Cryolipolysis, also known as freezing fat, is a popular method for non-invasive body contouring. This allows you to lose fat without any downtime, and with no need for needles or knives.

Here are some basics about body fat

There are two types. Subcutaneous fat is that fat that can roll up your waistband. Visceral fat can make you swell. Visceral fat is the fat that lines your organs. This fat is often linked to heart disease or diabetes. Subcutaneous fat is the fat that we use for cryolipolysis. Recent research has shown that our bodies ability to remove subcutaneous fat decreases with age. This makes it hard to celebrate every birthday.

From frozen fat to popsicles

Cryolipolysis is a combination of heat (lipo), cold (cryo), and destruction (lysis). This partly results from observations of what happens to children when they eat popsicles.

The "cold-induced Fat Necrosis" was a phenomenon that occurs when popsicles are accidentally left on children's faces for several hours. This fascinated the cofounders. These skin samples were taken from children who had been affected by inflammation from fat and other normal tissues. It appears that fat is more vulnerable to cold injury than other types of tissue.

This idea was used to cool pigs and kill fat cells. These results were quite predictable and very promising. The treated areas saw a decrease in fat thickness of approximately 1/2 inch. CoolSculpting was approved as a cryolipolysis procedure for reducing love handles in 2010. Clearance was quickly granted for other parts of our body, such as the abdomen, stomach, thighs, bra fat and undersides buttocks, and the chin.

What is cryolipolysis?

Although we believe the cooled fat cells will disappear within a few days it is impossible to prove. The Macrophages, the immune system's cleaning crew begin to dissolve fat cells.
