Now that the FDA has cleared Cryolipolysis as a solution for the treatment of fatty pockets such as bat wings, many patients will be interested in learning about it and trying the treatment for themselves.
What Is Fat Freezing Technology (Cryolipo / Cryolipolysis/ Coolsculpting)?
The goal of Cryolipo is to remodel the shape of your body and improve bulges of resistant fat. In short, fat cells are frozen into crystals which cause a large percentage of them to be destroyed. These destroyed fat cells are then slowly metabolised by natural pathways in the body over a 6 to 12 week period.
This means there is no cutting or oozing or any of the other after-effects associated with liposuction, or a similar surgical procedure, and no need for anaesthesia. Cocoon, the particular technology used for Cryolipo at BodyRenewal is both CE and FDA approved.
