Freeze the Fat
Help your clients slim down the nonsurgical way with cryolipolysis
by Maggie Staszcuk
Cryolipolysis, or the freezing of fat, is not
a new technology, but consumer desire
for quick results with little downtime has
made fat reduction procedures significant
in the esthetics industry. This procedure is
intended to help clients with problem areas
that they just can't get rid of through diet and
exercise. This modality offers a nonsurgical
way to target pockets of fat and may help
with loose and sagging skin.
WHAT IS IT?
Cryolipolysis is a noninvasive procedure that involves the
cooling of body fat to break down fat cells. Also known
as "fat freezing" or the brand name, CoolSculpting, it
results in a reduction of body fat without damage to
surrounding tissues. Since adipose (fat) tissue is more
responsive to temperature changes than skin, the frozen
fat cells break down and leave the skin unharmed.1
Cryolipolysis is FDA-approved for the chin, arms, back,
flanks, stomach, outer thighs, and inner thighs.
HOW IT WORKS
Cryolipolysis was inspired and developed by scientists
who observed that children who frequently ate popsicles
experienced fat deterioration in their cheeks. It was noted
that the cold popsicles were freezing pockets of fat.2
