When fat cells (adipose tissue) are cooled to around + 4°C they start to die
In a natural and controlled manner (a process called apoptosis). Once the fat cells have broken down, they are flushed out of the body as waste or processed through the lymphatic system. The apoptosis process will continue over days, weeks, and months post-treatment. We call this process CryoLipolysis
Cooling
Pressure
​
​
“Cryo-Stimulation” technology is based upon rapid cooling of the skin
and underlying tissues using cold gas combined with pressure. When the body is rapidly cooled to below 4°C, this causes many health and aesthetic benefits to the body in its reaction to the cold stress.
01
Stubborn Fat
Some stubborn pockets of fat are immune to diet and exercise.
02
Cryo-lipolysis
Cryo-lipolysis works by targeting and cooling fat cells to a temperature that will trigger cell aptosis (a natural and controlled cell death
03
No damage
No damage is caused to the nerves or other tissues because other cells are more resistant to the cold than fat cells.
04
Apoptotic Death Sequence
After the treatment, the fat cells enter an apoptotic death sequence (programmed cell death) and they are gradually removed over the following weeks and months by the lymphatic system
05
Reduction
Fat layer thickness is greatly reduced.
06
Improved Body Contours
Fat layer reduction in the targeted area leads to an improvement in the appearance of the body contours
White Fat vs. Brown Fat
What is White Fat?
White fat is the type of fat that most of us try to avoid accumulating, as it accumulates from a surplus of calories while fat cells store energy in the form of a single large oily droplet. White fat has an effect on hormone production and hunger levels and in healthy, non over weight humans it can comprise 20% of body weight in men and 25% in women
Where is it?
White fat is found below the skin (subcutaneous) and around the organs (visceral fat, which can be especially dangerous)
Why it’s important?
White fat does help us to regulate temperature by insulating organs, but it does little to burn calories as brown fat does.
What is Brown Fat?
Brown fat contains mitochondria and is made of a larger number of oily droplets, which are also which are made up of white fat. It generates heat and helps regulate the body’s internal temperature in response to the changing environment outside. Brown fat seems to act similarly to muscle tissue in many ways, and actually uses white fat as fuel at times
Where is it?
Depends on the individual adult (babies have a higher percentage of brown fat), but usually in the region of the neck and the shoulder, and perhaps the chest and down the spine.
Why it’s important?
The creation of body heat takes a lot of energy and this calls upon using the body’s excess fat stores for fuel. Regulates temperature without shivering (or non-shivering thermogenesis). Helps release the hormone norepinephrine when we are very cold in order to let us know we are uncomfortable and potentially in danger.
