Do you have those stubborn areas of fat that won’t budge, no matter how much you diet and exercise? It’s a common problem, and unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to spot reduce with weight loss programs or even targeted workouts. If you have this issue and want to eliminate those stubborn areas of fat but don’t want to go the VASER Lipo route, then there is a safe, effective treatment for you—and we’re not talking about fat dissolving Belkyra (Kybella). The non invasive treatment is called fat freezing and lets learn about fat freezing facts.

Are you aware that fat cells may actually die when exposed to cold temperatures? Years ago, Harvard scientist “Rox Anderson” discovered that fat cells are more sensitive to specific cold temperatures, although skin and nerve cells remain largely unaffected. It was this theory that sparked the development of the innovative cooling technology called fat freezing. Firstly, fat freezing facts are considered. You see, when fat under the skin is exposed to a very specific, cold temperature using the fat freezing device. In theory, fat cells can be eliminated without causing any danger to skin and nerve cells. This non-invasive procedure can decrease fat without liposuction, albeit in a subtle way. It creates a safe yet alternative to invasive surgical procedures such as liposuction, for small areas and to people who want subtle results.

In recent years the ultrasound cavitation has established itself as an effective method of treating cellulite and superficial fat. Furthermore electromagnetic energy, radiofrequency has been further developed enabling us to target deeper areas of fat. The fat freezing machine differ from the older generation Coolsculpting in that it offers the three technologies at the same time.

When using fat freezing, patients start to see their results over the next few month. Usually three months after their first treatment, with the most visible results becoming visible after six months. Each treatment reduces the fat by about 10-15%. However, your body will continue to flush out fat cells for up to six months after your treatment. The number of treatments is dependent on each individual’s wants and needs. You’ll see a small reduction of fat in the treated area after one visit. Some people respond better than others.
