Summer is coming again, and it's the slimming season again. In order to achieve rapid and effective weight loss, many women choose liposuction. Liposuction technology is also making continuous progress. Various ultrasonic, radio frequency and laser fat dissolving devices use different methods to melt or decompose fat cells, thus alleviating the pain caused by traditional liposuction. Now, another frozen fat dissolving technique has become a new choice for those who want to lose weight. How does freezing dissolve fat? What are the risks? How about the effect? Let's hurry up and have a look!
What is frozen fat dissolving?
Freezing lipolysis, also known as frozen lipolysis, is a lipolysis technology developed by researchers from Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital. In fact, CoolSculpting was approved by the FDA for non-surgical shaping as early as 2010, and CE (European Safety Certification Mark) certification has been widely used in clinical applications in the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries. CoolSculpting's official website calls it "low-temperature body slimming therapy", which is commonly known as "frozen fat dissolving system" in China.
Freezing fat dissolving instrument What is the principle of?
The freezing point of water is 0 ℃, while that of fat is 4 ℃. This is the cryolysis theory published on the ASLMS Society (American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery) in 2008. Based on this theory, science and technology manufacturers have produced a freeze fat dissolving instrument.
This instrument can freeze fat into jelly, destroy and expel fat cells. The working principle of the freezing fat dissolving system is very simple. The freezing fat dissolving system uses the constant vacuum generated by the suction cup to suck a piece of fat. Each piece of fat is circularly frozen. The freezing fat dissolving process will gradually absorb the heat of the subcutaneous fat. The temperature of fat cells is reduced to zero degrees Fahrenheit, that is, they are frozen. Low temperature will not affect the skin or muscle while killing fat cells. The dead fat cells are then discharged from the body through the liver, without any external force. One treatment can reduce the fat by 22%.
What is the process of freezing fat dissolving?
60% - 70% of the human body is water. As mentioned earlier, the freezing point of water is 0 ℃, while fat and water are different in nature. They start to solidify at 4 ℃. So freezing fat dissolving is to eliminate fat by using the difference of freezing point between the two.
Specifically, if the instrument is placed at the position where the fat is to be eliminated, the fat will quickly solidify into jelly, causing cell dephagy (cells will fall off and die according to the growth law). The dead cells will be treated as internal garbage by the body, and will be naturally discharged from the body within 2-4 months. Therefore, this method has no immediate effect, but the fat can be gradually reduced within two weeks to one month after treatment.
The frozen fat dissolving slimming method can remove fat, promote blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, and eliminate wastes in the body. In addition, since dead fat cells are also excluded from the body, the number of fat in the body is reduced, which can effectively prevent rebound.
What kind of people is frozen fat dissolving suitable for?
Cryolysis is not a means to reduce weight or treat obesity, nor can it replace traditional liposuction. The most suitable group for cryolipolysis is the beauty seeker who has a symmetrical figure, only has prominent local fat, but does not want to do liposuction.
Suitable parts
It is only applicable to the fat on the waist and abdomen, not to other parts of the body. Frozen fat dissolving is only suitable for local weight loss, not for the whole body. It is difficult to get rid of the excess fat in the waist and abdomen. This instrument is very effective, but it is not applicable to the obese and overweight people. It is only applicable to those who eat reasonably and exercise regularly, but still can not get rid of the local fat.
about Freeze fat dissolving technology Three common questions
Does it hurt?
Most of the patients do cryolipolysis without anesthesia, and will have a sense of discomfort of being pulled within the first 10 minutes. Once the treated area is cooled, the recipient will not feel any pain. After treatment, temporary numbness of one week will appear in the treated part of the subject.
How long does the recovery period take?
After cryolysis treatment, temporary redness, congestion, soreness and numbness will appear at the treatment site, but these discomfort will gradually disappear within 1-3 weeks. Generally, the effect can be seen within 2 to 4 months after treatment, and the normal life and rest will not be affected after the operation, so there is no need to ask for leave to recuperate. There is only slight discomfort and no wound at the treatment site.
How effective?
According to clinical research, the thickness of fat layer decreased by 22.4% on average within 2 to 4 months after receiving "cryolysis", and the body shape could be maintained for 9 to 12 months. As for how long the effect can last, there is no conclusion.
Questioning on Freezing Fat Dissolution
1、 Freezing fat dissolving Since it can freeze fat to death, will the skin in direct contact with it also be frostbitten?
The endurance of fat cells to low temperature is lower than that of skin. 5 ℃ is enough to cause necrosis of fat cells, but it will not cause too much damage to the skin. Only a few cases will cause slight damage.
2. Some experts questioned the principle of this operation, saying that fat cells can still be recovered after being frozen, which makes the therapeutic effect worse.
However, the effect of many weight loss users in the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries has well proved the efficacy of the frozen fat dissolving instrument, which can effectively help people get rid of local fat. However, this frozen weight loss method has good effect on fat hypertrophy and small areas (such as waist, abdomen and back swimming circle), while it has poor effect on large areas of fat accumulation in thighs and buttocks.
3. Some foreign experts believe that the frozen weight loss method is effective, but some experts say that freezing will not penetrate into deep skin tissues, and the effect is limited. In addition, some plastic surgeons question this new weight loss method, and believe that a large number of necrotic fat cells are a serious burden to the liver through the natural metabolism of the human body. People with liver problems should not try this method. At present, other possible risks of frozen weight loss method are uncertain.
