The Evolution of Fat Freezing: Tracing the Origin of Cryolipolysis

April 8, 2021

Would you want to extract weight from specific parts of the body without going to the gym or undergoing plastic surgery? You’ve already heard about fat freezing if you’re involved in non-surgical fat reduction.

So, how effective is Fat Freezing? LipoFreeze Strand is FDA certified for fat freezing. According to clinical trials, the procedure eliminates up to 20% of fat cells in the treated area. Since the early 2000s, patients worldwide have seen remarkable outcomes, and the technology remains popular today.

How Does Fat Freezing Function?

Fat freezing Strand is an FDA-approved medical device that uses cryolipolysis to dissolve fat cells. It functions by sandwiching a portion of fatty skin between two cold paddles that operate under the skin’s surface to freeze fat cells while causing minor damage to the skin due to controlled cooling. It takes about 30 minutes for the unit to operate in each location.

Fat cells die forever as they freeze. The liver flushes the dying cells from the body during the next two months. The treated area would look slimmer as the cells are excreted, making patients more thin and established body contours.

The system is intended for body contouring rather than general weight loss. It is most successful at refining stubborn trouble spots that the patient cannot remove, notably where diet and exercise have failed to yield the desired effects.

FAT FREEZING IN HISTORY

For many British people, gaining weight is a daily challenge. Exercise and diet are not often enough to attain a toned physique – even those who exercise daily and eat healthily can encounter stubborn areas of fat accumulation. Furthermore, it is well known that spot reduction does not work – according to Yale Science, fat loss appears to be generalised during exercise; it does not selectively address the exercised area.

They extended the fat reduction theory in other parts of the body, using concentrated cold application to decrease tissue temperature to about 40 degrees. This causes the fat cells of interest to die without causing any damage to the underlying organs or skin.

In general, the treatment is expected to decrease fat cells in the treated region by around 20%. The benefits are not immediate, taking two to four months to become visible. Still, the absence of chemotherapy, treatment, needles, or downtime make it a simple choice for those looking to slim trouble areas.

Fat freezing Strand is an inexpensive and low-risk solution for stubborn fat areas, and the effects are long-lasting if new fat cells are not inserted.
