°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® Non Surgical Fat Removal Treatment
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ®
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® is a non-invasive fat removal procedure that can freeze stubborn fat cells and improve body contours. °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® can target unwanted fat pockets around the midsection, flanks, thighs, and chin to shape your body without undergoing surgery. Excess fat is often difficult to remove from these areas of the body, even with a proper diet plan and frequent exercise. As a result, these areas are often cosmetic concerns for patients. °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® uses cryolipolysis (cooling technology) to remove stubborn fat and slim the body without the need for extensive procedures or prolonged healing time. At Dermatology, Laser and Surgery of Flatiron, we provide °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® as a non-surgical body contouring alternative that can achieve long-lasting results for NYC patients.

What Is °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ®?
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis when targeting excess fat. Controlled cooling technology is delivered to the treatment area. Underlying fat cells are frozen during your °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® procedure. Over time, these fat cells are processed by your body and naturally removed.

When undergoing °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ®, the cryolipolysis device is positioned over the treatment area. Cooling energy from the °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® applicator is directed to targeted fat cells. Patients typically feel a cold sensation for the first few minutes before the treatment area goes numb from the cooling energy. This numbness will subside after your procedure.

How Many °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® Treatments Are Required?
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® can achieve substantial non-surgical fat removal results with 1 treatment. Some patients choose to target multiple areas of the body during 1 °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® procedure. In some cases, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® results. Our °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® doctors at Dermatology, Laser and Surgery of Flatiron can further discuss the details of your °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® treatment during your in-office consultation.
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® Vs. Traditional Liposuction
Unlike traditional liposuction options, °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® is completely non-surgical and does not require the use of incisions. While traditional lipo utilizes tiny cannulas to extract fat cells from the body, °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® disrupts unwanted fat cells using cooling energy that is delivered through specialized applicators placed over the target area(s). There is virtually no healing time necessary following °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® treatment, while liposuction patients generally experience a few weeks of recovery.

Who Is Considered An Ideal Candidate For °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® Treatment?
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® candidates include patients who want to remove stubborn fat deposits from the abdomen and flanks, inner and outer thighs, or submental area beneath the chin. Additionally, patients seeking a non-surgical body contouring procedure can opt for °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® to slim the body. Our team at Dermatology, Laser and Surgery of Flatiron can help advise whether °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® is right for you during your consultation at our New York City offices.
Is °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® A Weight Loss Procedure?
No. °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® should not be considered as a means for weight loss. When you lose weight, you are actually shrinking the size of your fat cells. Instead of making fat cells smaller, °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® is designed to remove these fat cells. Cryolipolysis freezes stubborn fat and, over time, your body removes these cells from your system. °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® is designed to improve body contours, as opposed to losing weight. °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® patients should be near their ideal body weight before undergoing this non-surgical body sculpting treatment.
Is Anesthesia Recommended?
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® does not require any form of anesthesia. Cooling technology from the °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® machine progressively numbs the treatment area, which can help reduce any discomfort during your procedure.
What Should I Expect After Undergoing Treatment For °ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ®?
°ä´Ç´Ç±ô³§³¦³Ü±ô±è³Ù¾±²Ô²µÂ® patients may experience mild numbness, bruising, swelling, redness, or tingling for a few days following non-invasive body sculpting treatment. You are free to resume your daily routine immediately after undergoing your non-surgical fat reduction procedure.
