Freeze Your Fat Away: The Science Behind Subzero Cryo for Targeted Body Contouring

Freeze Your Fat Away: The Science Behind Subzero Cryo for Targeted Body Contouring

We all have those stubborn pockets of fat that seem resistant to diet and exercise. Whether it's around your abdomen, thighs, arms, or under your chin, these areas can be a source of frustration. If you're looking for a non-surgical way to address these concerns, you might have heard about cryolipolysis, often referred to as "fat freezing" or "Subzero Cryo."

At Atlanta Wellness Clinic, we offer this innovative technology to help you achieve the body contours you desire. But how exactly does it work? Let's delve into the science behind freezing away fat.

Demystifying Cryolipolysis: It's All About the Cold

The science behind cryolipolysis was discovered by researchers at Harvard University who observed that children who ate a lot of popsicles developed dimples. This led them to realize that fat cells are more susceptible to cold than surrounding tissues.

Based on this principle, cryolipolysis technology delivers controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Here's a breakdown of what happens:

1. Targeted Cooling: A specialized applicator is applied to the treatment area, gently drawing the targeted fat pocket between cooling panels.

2. Controlled Freezing: The temperature within the applicator is carefully lowered to a point that crystallizes the fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin, nerves, or muscle tissue. You might feel intense cold initially, but this usually subsides as the area becomes numb.

3. Natural Elimination: Over the following weeks and months, the crystallized fat cells gradually break down and are naturally eliminated from the body through your lymphatic system and liver. It's a natural and gradual process, similar to how your body disposes of other dead cells.

What to Expect During a Subzero Cryo Session at Atlanta Wellness Clinic:

• Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation where our experienced practitioners will assess your areas of concern, discuss your goals, and determine if Subzero Cryo is the right treatment for you.

• Preparation: On the day of your session, the targeted area will be cleaned, and a protective gel pad may be applied to the skin.

• Application: The appropriate applicator will be positioned on the treatment area. You might feel a slight suction as the tissue is drawn into the applicator.

• The Cooling Sensation: Initially, you'll experience a cold sensation, which typically subsides within a few minutes as the area becomes numb. You can usually relax, read, or even use your phone during the treatment.

• Treatment Duration: The length of a session can vary depending on the area being treated, typically ranging from 30 to 60 minutes.

• Post-Treatment: After the applicator is removed, the treated area may appear slightly red, firm, or feel numb. Our practitioners may gently massage the area to help break down the treated fat cells. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few hours to a few days.

Seeing the Results: Before & After Possibilities

Subzero Cryo is not a weight loss solution for individuals with significant obesity. Instead, it's an effective way to contour the body by reducing stubborn fat pockets. Most individuals start to see noticeable results within a few weeks, with the most dramatic changes becoming apparent after 1-3 months as the body continues to eliminate the treated fat cells.

• Fat Reduction: You can typically expect a 20-25% reduction of fat in the treated area after just one session. Some individuals may choose to undergo additional sessions for further fat reduction.

• Gradual and Natural-Looking Results: Because the fat cells are eliminated gradually, the results appear natural over time.

• Long-Lasting Results: Once the fat cells are eliminated, they are gone for good. However, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the accumulation of new fat cells in the treated1 and other areas.
