Crystal Pro Body Contouring (Cryolipolysis + Multipolar RF)
What is Cryolipolysis?
Being known as fat freezing , the principle of cryolipolysis is to eliminate fat cells (adipocytes) by causing their cell death (apoptosis) through the application of intense cold combined with negative pressure by suction.
The intense cold will provoke the crystallization of adipocytes (rich in saturated fatty acids and highly sensitive to cold), while the aspiration will induce ischemia of the treated area.
The lipid content is released, the dead cells are progressively evacuated via the lymphatic system and the treated volume therefore loses fat cell density.
Medical cryolipolysis reduces the number of fat cells in the corresponding body area by 20-30% without having to perform liposuction.
Why Crystal Pro?
Crystal Pro is a 3 step procedure whereby it not only targets fat cells, but sculptures the muscles and tighten the skin to achieve the most optimum result.
Besides allowing treatment up to 4 body and face areas simultaneously , Crystal Pro also allows for measurement of the thickness of the hypodermis before and after the treatment using the CRISTAL Pro ultrasound scanner.
Who?
Not morbidly obese. Men and women with localized fat deposits.
Where?
Advantages
- Non invasive FDA approved procedure
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
- Proven results with no long term complications
Disadvantages
Some patients may experience diarrhea for the first few weeks. It is a mostly benign side effect that is due to the dead cells are excreted by the body’s lymphatic system until the excretion process is complete.
Be sure to stay hydrated. Eat foods like bananas, avocados and watermelon to replenish lost electrolytes.
FAQ
It takes a few weeks up to 8 weeks for the cryolipolysis process to run its course and fully eliminate fat cells from the treatment area. However , You can expect to begin seeing these results one month after your first treatment. The full flowering of your trim new look will bloom after two months.
The cells are permanently destroyed and eradicated from the body. Once these fat cells are gone, they are gone for good! Any area that receives treatment will have a permanent reduction in the number of fat cells.
No. The remaining fat cells can still increase in size if you gain weight. This means that if you are not careful about managing your weight, your remaining fat cells could enlarge and give you a heavier body shape.
Between 30 and 90 minutes according to protocol.
1 to 3 sessions on the same area depending on the size of the fat fold and the patient’s response to the treatment.
2 to 3 months between each session on the same area to allow fats to be removed via lymphatic system.
