The science behind Coolsculpting
Discovered by Harvard scientists, the science behind CoolSculpting® is based on Cryolipolysis, which means destruction of fat cells via freezing.
The exposure of fat cells to almost sub-zero temperature causes crystalization of the fatty acids and subsequent death of fat cells. A very careful and controlled application of cold temperatures is required to avoid frostbite of the surrounding skin.
Researcher at Harvard medical school have performed experiments to determine the perfect balance of
cryolipolysis vs skin preservation to make this technology safe and effective. FDA has tested and approved CoolSculpting® in 2010.
The CoolSculpting® machine generates controlled cold temperature which is applied to the skin through the hand-piece and allowed to act for approximately 35 minutes. During this time the patient is relaxing on a comfortable medical bed that is perfect for this treatment. The procedure requires no anesthesia, no sedation, and no pain killers.
After approximately 35 minutes, the applicator is removed, and the treated area is massaged. Additional areas can be treated next, or the patient can leave and come back next time they have 35 minutes free for a treatment.
