Its principle of action

  • The fundamental principle of cryolipolysis involves the targeted cooling of localized fatty deposits along with the application of strong suction pressure, inducing a state of ischemia. This deliberate process leads to a transformation in the configuration of adipocytes (fat storage cells).
  • This cellular transition, from the standard body temperature of 37°C to subzero temperatures as low as -12°C, triggers a chemical signal of apoptosis specifically in the cold-sensitive adipocytes, while preserving the integrity of the skin and less cold-sensitive tissues. This action results in the crystallization of the fat cells, prompting them to undergo self-destruction due to the cold exposure.
  • The liberated lipid content is then released, and over time, the inactive cells are methodically eliminated through the lymphatic system. As a result, the treated area experiences a reduction in fat cell concentration. Gradually and naturally, the crystallized fat is permanently expelled in the weeks following the session, contributing to the creation of more harmonious contours.
  • This technique, celebrated for its effectiveness and safety, is both non-invasive and devoid of any need for anesthetic. Within a matter of weeks, the outcomes become optimal and lasting.
  • It’s important to note that while this technique is not a substitute for a well-balanced diet in cases of significant excess weight, it can effectively complement such efforts by aiding in the reduction of localized fatty deposits. As such, it’s an excellent choice for individuals dealing with stubborn fat pockets, whether they have a general weight issue or not.

Advice to the patient

In order to maximize the results of CRISTAL PLUS® Cryolipolysis treatment, the following recommendations should be followed:

1. Stay well hydrated (1.5 litres of water per day) and combine a natural draining agent with your drinks to facilitate the elimination of fat cells by the lymphatic system. This step is essential for good results.

2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, especially from a nutritional point of view, to prevent fatty deposits from forming again.

3. Exercise daily (at least 30 minutes a day).

4. Avoid alcohol/sugar consumption during the lymphatic drainage process.

5. It is advisable to practice draining palpate-roll massages, with the use of anti-cellulite creams, to maximise the results of your session at least during the first week following the treatment.

6. It is advisable to combine lymphatic drainage treatments, especially on the lower limbs.

7. Avoid any aesthetic treatment with laser or pulsed light, saunas, Jacuzzis, Hammam, UV and sun for 7 days following the treatment and as long as the area remains inflamed (red).

8. For any other concerns regarding the treatment and its effects, do not hesitate to contact the medical centre.

HOW MANY CRYOLIPOLYSIS SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE AN EFFECTIVE AND PERMANENT RESULT AT THE CRYOLIPOLYSIS CENTER IN BASEL/SAINT-LOUIS?

Results can vary from one patient to another. Generally, a reduction of 20% to 40% in the volume of localized fat deposits is typically observed after a single session, which is often sufficient to address small accumulations of fat. However, in some cases, treating adjacent areas may be necessary to achieve a harmonious result.

If the fatty area has a significant volume, additional sessions may be recommended after the initial treatment. The adipocytes are permanently destroyed and eliminated from your body, ensuring a lasting result. It is then up to you to take care of your new silhouette through a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Multiple sessions can be conducted until the desired result is achieved, allowing for a gradual progression toward your goals.

WHAT ARE THE LIMITS OF MEDICAL CRYOLIPOLYSIS ?

The CRISTAL medical cryolipolysis offers undeniable effectiveness, provided that the appropriate indications are followed. Its action specifically targets localized fat deposits. However, it is essential to note that this method does not replace a balanced diet in any way.

Targeting localized fat deposits : Cryolipolysis is designed to treat specific areas of fat and cannot substitute for a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and exercise.

Variability in results : The effectiveness of cryolipolysis can vary from person to person based on the individual body’s response to the procedure.

Number of sessions : To achieve optimal results, several sessions may be required, which can increase the costs and duration of treatment.

Not suitable for severe obesity : Cryolipolysis is not recommended for individuals with severe obesity, as it cannot treat significant amounts of fat.

Temporary side effects : After the session, temporary side effects such as redness, numbness, and bruising may occur, although they generally disappear quickly.

Medical consultation : Before choosing cryolipolysis, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this method is suitable for your situation.

It is important to understand these limitations and discuss your expectations with a qualified professional to make an informed decision regarding cryolipolysis.

ARE THERE CLINICAL STUDIES PROVING THE SAFETY OF THE METHOD ?

Several clinical studies have proven the safety and effectiveness of the CRISTAL cryolipolysis technique. Following the study by Dr. M. NAOURI, the results obtained are as follows: the significant loss of average circumference was 3.2 +/- 1.7cm.

The maximum difference in circumference was 6 cm and patient satisfaction was evaluated at 3/4 (high satisfaction). 83% of the patients treated wished to have a second session on the same or adjacent area, in order to optimise their result.

Advantages of cryolipolysis

Advantage 1
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive method
Performed by a specialist doctor, cryolipolysis is a perfect slimming method for people who do not wish to undergo surgery. There is no need for a scalpel, scar or anaesthetic for this slimming technique.
Advantage 2
Cryolipolysis is a natural method
Fat is attacked by a simple and totally natural method: cold. Very sensitive to intense cold, 20 to 40% of fat cells, also known as adipocytes, are naturally eliminated by the process of apoptosis.
Advantage 3
Cryolipolysis is not painful or even painless
it can however be a little unpleasant, given the suction performed by the applicator at the beginning of the session (5 minutes) as well as the massage performed at the end of the treatment (5 to 10 minutes)
Advantage 4
Cryolipolysis gives targeted results
It is very difficult to lose fat in a specific area. Sport and a healthy diet help to lose weight over the whole body, but it is difficult to target an area such as the love handles, the saddlebags or the lower abdomen.
Advantage 5
Cryolipolysis permanently destroys fat cells
In adults, the total number of adipocytes no longer increases (adipocyte hyperplasia is present until adolescence, giving way to adipocyte hypertrophy in adulthood), it is fixed and the fat deposits are linked exclusively to the fact that they increase in volume by loading themselves with fat, sometimes up to 50 times their volume. So any adipocyte that is destroyed is permanently destroyed, it cannot regenerate.
Advantage 6
There are few contraindications to cryolipolysis and few side effects
The benefit/risk ratio is therefore largely in favour of medical cryolipolysis.
