Vanity Fair - Cryolipolysis: Using Cold Treatment to Regain Shape

Vanityfair.it discusses Istituto Image and CoolSculpting, the cryolipolysis treatment capable of safely and effectively removing stubborn fat deposits.

Regaining Shape with CoolSculpting?

A viable alternative to liposuction for those who wish to avoid surgical intervention. CoolSculpting enables fat reduction in the abdomen, flanks, arms, inner thighs, saddlebags, and submental area.

What is the Principle Behind CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting utilizes cryolipolysis, a controlled and targeted cooling of specific areas that induces adipocyte apoptosis, the natural cell death. The process is scientifically validated and does not damage surrounding tissues.

Are There Any Specific Contraindications?

No, CoolSculpting has no specific contraindications, but a specialist medical consultation is required before proceeding with treatment.

Which Areas Can Be Treated with CoolSculpting?

Treatment is possible for abdomen, flanks, arms, inner thighs, saddlebags, back and axillary folds, and submental area.

Is the Treatment Painful?

Most patients who have undergone the treatment report CoolSculpting as painless, however, some cases may experience soreness in the treated area.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

One session per treated area is sufficient. Areas like abdomen and submental region can be treated with a single application. Areas such as arms, flanks, and saddlebags require two applications (one per side).

Who Is Suitable for CoolSculpting?

To determine if CoolSculpting cryolipolysis is suitable for individual needs, a specialized medical consultation is necessary. The treatment is indicated for patients with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

What to Expect After Treatment?

CoolSculpting can eliminate up to 24% of fat cells in a single session. The 'frozen' cells undergo apoptosis and are expelled from the body through normal metabolic processes. Results become gradually visible over 2-3 months.
