Conducting
Initially, the cosmetologist selects the nozzle of the desired size and shape, depending on the treated area. The procedure is performed in the supine or sitting position. On the skin area of the patient, where the applicator will be installed, a napkin impregnated with a special protective gel is applied. Then, a device attachment is installed that retracts the skin with the fat fold and holds it for a predetermined time, exposing it to cold. The processing time for one zone is 1 hour.

The procedure is easily tolerated, does not cause severe discomfort or pain. During the first 10 minutes, sensations of cold, tingling, burning or numbness of the skin are possible. At the end of the session, the nozzle is detached from the skin, the tissue and gel remnants are removed, and a warming massage is performed to restore normal blood supply. Then the client returns to the usual way of life.
The final results of cryolipolysis can be assessed 3-4 months after the first procedure. Such a period is necessary for the body to completely remove all the destroyed fat cells. Repeated exposure to the same skin area is allowed no earlier than 8 weeks.
If you need additional correction of the body, the next course is appointed no earlier than 4 months later.
