Starting Theory

• When babies suck on cold dummies for too long they lose fat from their cheeks.
• Butter (fat) hardens/freezes much more quickly than skin or anything else.
• Freezing the fat doesn’t take too long (30min each area).
• Once the fat cells are frozen, apoptosis occurs.

Liposhock Procedure

• is sucArea to be treated ked into the handpiece
• A cycle of intense -20°C begins
• Subcutaneous fat cells in the area are frozen to -20°C
• Overlying skin is not damaged as a protective membrane is placed on the skin
• Cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis
• Fat cells are destroyed and excreted from the body by natural mechanisms
• Every fat freezing procedure may take upto 90days to get rid off the apoptotic cells.

The Science

• Cryo = cold, lipo = fat, lysis = breakdown, is a Greek medical term which literally means fat breakdown through cold.
• Research has shown that fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than surrounding tissue.
• Using advanced cooling (cryo) technology, the device safely targets the fat layer and slowly crystallizes the fat cell contents.
• This process causes the breakdown (lysis) of the cells. During the following two months, the melted fat is gradually eliminated via natural metabolic processes.

The Indication

• For small to moderately full fat bulges resistant to diet and exercise.
• The procedure is considered safe for all skin types.
• However, on treating the darkest skin types caution must be taken because skin is naturally more cold sensitive.

The Treatment

• There is an initial intense cold feeling which gradually disappears because of the cold’s numbing effect.
• Normally there is no discomfort post procedure. Thin patients may experience a tingling sensation for about two weeks afterwards.
• Results are visible within two months.
• Depending on the initial thickness of the fat pad, more than one treatment can be performed.
• Because there are no needles, no injections and no drugs involved, there is no aftercare. Patients may drive home and resume all activities.

How many treatments? How often?

• The treatments are performed 2 times per area spaced 3 months apart
• Lipo Freezing can be associated to complementary treatments (cavitation, radiofrequency)
