CoolTech

CoolTech is a permanent fat-reducing treatment for the body. The technology works by the process of cryolipolysis, in which fat cells are frozen by a controlled cooling system – overall a reduction of fat cell number is achieved in the treated area. The reason for this is that fat cells are particularly sensitive to temperature, and freezing results in some cell death of this cell type, but not other cells in an area such as skin, nerves or muscle. 

The method is non-invasive, safe and effective and may give similar outcomes to liposuction – just without surgery. Up to 35% of fat cells in a particular area can be removed in 1-3 treatments with minimal downtime.

For each area being treated, the CoolTech system is applied to the skin and a vacuum in the machine sucks the fat into the hand piece. The cooling is then applied for approximately 70 minutes. For the first 6-8 minutes there may be a little discomfort but after this the cooling has an anaesthetic effect and the rest of the treatment is generally pain free. When the machine is detached, the area treated is then massaged to assist removal of dead fat cells and restore blood flow to the area.

Cryolipolysis is a safe and effective method to permanently reduce can be used to treat stubborn fat in any body area. The ideal candidate will be a patient who has tried to lose fat via diet and exercise but is struggling to lose a pocket of fat in a particular area.

 We can treat the abdominal area, flanks, hips, inner and outer thighs, knees, bra puff and the lower buttocks

Radio frequency with BodyFx can be used between cryolipolysis sessions to optimise results, every week for 6-8 weeks. This works by heating the fat cells to 43 degrees celsius then passing a small electrical pulse through the cells to cause a process known as ‘electroporation’, where the cells are destroyed.

Radio frequency with BodyFx involves gentle heating of the area being treated, again with vacuum. A tiny electrical pulse may be felt at the end of each application.

The downtime for this treatment is fairly minimal, usually around 3-5 days. The treatment can cause some minimal bruising & numbness up to 4 weeks, which is completely normal.
