Is Lipo Freeze Safe?
Lipo Freeze is a modern non-surgical technique of the body correction, which allows you to get rid of fat deposits with the help of cold. This procedure is applicable to any problem zone on the body: abdomen, buttocks, waist, hips.
Women who have tried the innovative method on themselves, speak of it as an effective and painless method, allowing for a short time to get rid of excess volumes.
The procedure, unlike many methods aimed at losing weight, is not associated with painful injections, because it is based on the use of low temperatures.
The cold effect on certain areas of the body is pleasant to many, it causes pleasant sensations and at the same time it works to destroy adipose tissue.
We will get acquainted with the unique procedure and learn about its advantages, disadvantages and peculiarities of carrying out.
Lipo Freeze: how does it work?
Lipo Freeze is a simple, invasive procedure, based on long (1 hour) cooling of the fat layer in problem areas. The fat cells of our body are very sensitive to low temperatures, under the influence of which they are destroyed naturally.
Such death is not dangerous for the body, as surrounding tissues do not suffer, inflammatory reactions do not occur and the products of the decomposition of fats do not contaminate the blood and lymphatic system.
Thus, the cryolipolysis procedure on the Lipo Freeze is a safe alternative to liposuction is a method in which fat is sucked off by puncturing the skin on the body.
An innovative procedure was developed by a group of American scientists who proved that prolonged cooling of fat tissue at a certain temperature starts the process of apoptosis (natural destruction).
This discovery allowed to create device that provided the necessary cooling of the problem areas of the body and caused the destruction of fat cells.
Today in many clinics of aesthetic medicine use apparatus Coolsculpting and Lipo Freeze. The mechanism of their action is based on the lack of pre-heating of the skin. Fatty folds draw by a special vacuum applicator and cooled to a certain temperature (-5 ° C).
The LIPO FREEZE device is manufactured in Italy. The mechanism of action of this device is somewhat different. The skin area is first heated to + 42 ° C, and then cooled down to + 22 ° C for an hour.
Experts advise to do the procedure on the apparatus Coolsculpting, because it is believed that the method of cold exposure, used in this case is more effective. Before the beginning of the session, you should make sure that the manipulations will be performed by an experienced and qualified specialist using a certified device.
Principle of action
The method is based on the discovery, the essence of which lies in the fact that under the influence of cold fat cells are destroyed faster than others. During the procedure, it is very important to observe a certain, strictly fixed level of cooling, guaranteeing a certain exposure temperature.
The procedure starts the process of selective death of fat cells. Such a reaction is related to their structure, since practically all of the internal space of the cell is occupied by triglycerides (fats) and, with prolonged cooling, a whole cascade of irreversible reactions that leads to cell death.
As a result, the fat cell disintegrates into separate fragments (apoptotic bodies), which are then gradually absorbed by phagocytes, which are guarded by health, and taken out of the body in a natural way for 2-3 months.
Thus, the result of the procedure develops gradually, over several months, which makes the process of losing weight more physiological. Reduction of the subcutaneous fat layer occurs due to the gradual destruction of fat cells, and the removal of the products of their decomposition does not overload the liver and other internal organs.
Indications and contraindications
Indications for the procedure are:
- Obesity is of an alimentary-constitutional type, inherent in people leading a sedentary lifestyle.
- Obesity of the hypothalamic type. Weight gain in this case occurs as a result of damage to one of the brain areas (hypothalamus), which provokes abnormal eating behavior and excessive consumption of high-calorie food.
- Obesity, which develops as a result of endocrine pathologies. In this category of patients, metabolism is disturbed, which leads to weight gain even with low-calorie foods.
Obesity, provoked by mental illness. In this case, a violation of the food balance causes certain medications.
At the same time, there are a number of contraindications to the procedure. Cryolipolysis can not be done under the following conditions:
- Hypersensitivity to cold (cold allergy)
- Presence of an electrocardiostimulator;
- Neurological disorders of different etiology;
- Mechanical damage to the skin in the places of expected treatment;
- Presence of skin diseases (eczema, dermatitis);
- The period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Diabetes;
- Poor blood clotting;
- Procedures can be done at any time of the year, regardless of solar activity.
The number of procedures is determined by a specialist. On average, the loss of body fat after the course of treatment is up to 35%, which is considered a very good indicator.
Advantages
Many patients in the reviews of cryolipolysis indicate that the procedure is carried much easier than other methods of hardware weight loss and does not require long-term recovery.
The method of cold exposure is absolutely painless, excludes the risk of serious complications and damage to the skin.
The popularity of procedures confirms the high efficiency of cryolipolysis and the ability to process any, even hard-to-reach problem zone on the body.
The procedure allows you to model an ideal body without harm to health, as the process of losing weight is based on natural processes in the body.
Disadvantages
The disadvantages of the innovative way to lose weight very little. As the main one, patients call the long wait for results, which finally manifest themselves only after a few months.
Another negative nuance is the low effectiveness of the method in cases where the skin is strongly stretched due to excess obesity. To the disadvantages of the methodology, many consider its high cost, which is associated with the use of expensive equipment.
