Cryolipolysis is a treatment that effectively and naturally reshapes and slims the figure. It uses the action of cold to destroy fatty deposits resistant to sports or diet, without pain, without anesthesia and without scars.
The Coolsculpting® cryolipolysis device was developed by researchers at Harvard University for the Zeltiq laboratory. Its effectiveness has been proven in several clinical trials.
Dr Rouif is the first surgeon in Tours to have equipped himself with the cryolipolysis machine in his office. Accustomed to liposuction techniques for more than 20 years, this dual expertise seems essential to him to indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the two processes, and thus help you to make an informed therapeutic choice adapted to your wishes.
An initial consultation with Dr Rouif allows the indication to be established by evaluating the areas of the body to be treated.
In view of the results, cryolipolysis can be considered in certain cases as a alternative to liposuction.
It avoids the postoperative effects inherent in any cosmetic surgery (scars in particular).
The results are visible from the second month. Daily activities can be resumed immediately after the end of the session.
The area to be treated will be sucked in by an applicator and the cold is triggered, the machine works alone, under regular supervision by the surgeon or his assistant. The session lasts one hour per treated area. You may sometimes feel tingling, itching, pain, or occasionally intense contractions. These sensations usually cease when the treated area becomes numb under the action of the cold. The skin, vessels and nerves will not be affected.
UNDERSTAND BEFORE
Fat cells are crystallized and self-destruct under the action of cold. The crystallized fat is then eliminated naturally and permanently over the weeks following the session.
The result of the treatment appears gradually and can be considered definitive after three months, even if a thinning can already be observed after three weeks.
If the excess fat is moderate, a single session is often sufficient to durably treat a part of the body.
If the excess is greater, a second operation may be necessary to obtain a result comparable to liposuction.
Coolsculpting® by Zeltiq cryolipolysis provides a natural result, slimming with harmonious curves without scars.
If the reduction of fatty deposits allowed by cryolipolysis is sustainable, a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet will ensure the sustainability of the result.
WITHOUT SURGERY
The applicator has two cooling plates equipped with "freeze detect sensors" to maintain a controlled cold without any risk of burns or necrosis. The bead is covered with a gel fabric to facilitate suction and to protect the skin. No other instrument is used, it is a non-invasive method.
PAINLESS
The aspiration causes a pinching the first 10 minutes, which one does not feel any more then thanks to the cold which anesthetizes the area. Once the applicator is removed, you feel a slight discomfort during the massage, while the skin warms up. Some tingling or itching sensations are most often reported in the days following treatment.
WITHOUT SOCIAL EVICTION
An advanced treatment protocol can last from three to seven hours on average, but you can resume your normal activities within hours, and even your sporting activity according to your personal comfort.
WITHOUT CONVALESCENCE
No panty or compression garment is recommended following treatment. You just need to wear clothes that you are comfortable in for the next few days to avoid chafing.
