For years, Cryolipolysis™ has been successfully used to reduce fat deposits on thighs, hips, belly, buttocks, love handles, and men's chests. The targeted removal of energy by means of a cold treatment causes the apoptosis of the fat cells. This ultimately leads to their destruction. The complete breakdown and removal of fat cells the natural way through the lymphatic system takes about 10–12 weeks. Since the surrounding tissue does not respond to the cold treatment in the same way as fatty tissue, the treatment is considered safe, gentle and non-invasive.
