CoolMini uses a process known as cryolipolysis, otherwise known as fat freezing. This process was developed by the creators of Zeltiq Coolsculpting. It works through the process of freezing the fat cells in the body while leaving the other layers of the dermis unharmed.
When exposed to the intensely cold temperature, fat cells encounter natural cell death, or “apoptosis”. Over time, the body’s lymphatic system breaks these fat cells down and naturally excretes them out of the body.
This treatment is US FDA approved and works by using equipment that brings the temperature of the fat cells to almost zero degrees Celsius, leading to their crystallization. The fat cells are then processed naturally by the body and flushed out of it’s system gradually. The process leaves no harm or damage to the tissue surrounding it, making a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for unwanted fat cells.
This treatment is best suited for the following parts of the body:
It is important to note that cyrolipolysis is not a substitute for fat loss. It is mainly used to target areas of the body with stubborn fat and areas which may be resistant to diet and toning through exercise. A patient with a BMI of over 30 is generally advised against getting a CoolMini treatment. Even after treatment, exercise and a healthy diet is generally recommended in order to maintain results.
Some of the benefits of this treatment include:
After determining the areas for treatment, the doctor will set the applicator directly on that area. The machine will then start the Cryolipolisys process. The treated area will feel gentle suctions on the skin as the fat cells are frozen. The whole procedure may take as quick as an hour to complete.
This procedure is not advisable for patients with the following conditions:
Likewise, patients should inform the doctor of any pre-existing hernia, recent surgery, or allergies prior to treatment to ensure safety.
