Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing, is a nonsurgical fat reduction procedure that reduces fat deposits using cold temperature. The system is designed to reduce localized fat deposits or bulges that do not respond to diet and exercise. Obese or significantly overweight people should not use it.
Clients travel here from Boston and nearby communities for cryolipolysis, since Newton is just a short drive from the city and the results speak for themselves.
A skin-marking pencil is used to outline the area to be treated based on the size and shape of the fatty deposit. During the cryolipolysis procedure, patients are awake.
Fat cells under the skin can be frozen with the use of an applicator, a handheld device. The area is first protected with a gel pad. A suction or vacuum is used to pull the bulge into the applicator’s aperture.
You will feel a tugging or pulling sensation as suction is applied. When the area becomes numb during the cooling down process, these sensations, the intense cold and other possible sensations, such as tingling, stinging, aching, cramping, subside.
Between 30.2 and 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit is the target temperature for cooling the fat layer.
It takes up to one hour to treat an area. In order to remove the applicator, the treated area must be washed. The area may be massaged for 2 to 3 minutes to assist with the breakdown of the fat cells.

Cryolipolysis works well on the belly, flanks (love handles), thighs, chin, neck, back, and upper arms — the same stubborn pockets of fat that tend to resist diet and exercise.
Most people complete a treatment area in about two cryolipolysis sessions. You’ll usually notice a difference within three weeks, and full results typically appear three to six months after your last visit. Because the treated fat cells are destroyed rather than just shrunk, the results are permanent, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
No surgical incision is required.
It is a low risk procedure
The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis
Patients do not need to be sedated or anesthetized before undergoing the procedure
More than one area of the body may be treated in a single session
A procedure with extremely little damage to the body without reducing the effectiveness of surgical intervention. Due to the reduction in the duration of the operation and the reduction of the traumatization of soft tissues, a high therapeutic and cosmetic result is achieved. There is no need for prolonged bed rest since operations are carried out in the clinic for one day. They are well tolerated by patients since there is no pronounced pain syndrome.
Most procedures have a duration of no more than one hour. The session includes the course of therapy and preliminary and post-procedural actions. The rehabilitation period after taking the procedures is practically unnecessary. So, you have a way to fill your lunch break with benefits for your health.
