How does cryotherapy help me lose fat?

The TruCryo Device is capable of causing thermal shock. The treatments are powered by cryolipolysis – a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells by freezing within the temperature range of +5 to-4 ̊C. The cold treatment causes apoptosis or cell death of subcutaneous fat tissues.

How does the fat freezing / cryolipolysis procedure work?

A consultation is required to discuss area/s of concern. The TruCryo machine is then sprayed directly across the area/s causing thermal shock cooling the treatment area locally. This is followed by lymphatic massage the help flush away the broken-down fat cells and any associated toxins from the body. Treatment time is around 20-45 minutes depending on number of areas treated.

Are there any specific requirements or things to do when recovering from cryotherapy treatments?

No, there no active restrictions following treatments. Just drink plenty of water after to enable the body to eliminate the destroyed fat cells properly.

How soon will I see results after fat freezing treatments?

Results can be seen immediately although the injured fat cells are gradually eliminated by the body as the cells breakdown which can take up to 72 hours post treatment. Following a full course of treatment, cells will continue to breakdown up to 4 to 6 weeks post treatment. During that time the fatty bulge decreases in size, with up to 20% fat reduction. Cryolipolysis / fat freezing is not an alternative to a healthy diet and regular exercise.

What are the risks of having cryotherapy treatments?

The complication rate is low, and the satisfaction rate is high. There is a risk of surface irregularities and asymmetry. Patients may not get the result they’d hoped for. Rarely, in less than 1 percent, patients may have paradoxical fat hyperplasia, which is an unexpected increase in the number of fat cells. This is three times more likely in men than in women and is seen more in those of Hispanic or Latino descent.
