Z Lipo (Cryolipolysis)
Z lipo (Cryolipolysis) is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits by cooling targeted areas to induce fat cell destruction. It is a technique that uses controlled cooling to selectively target and eliminate fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. The procedure is commonly used for body contouring and fat reduction in areas resistant to diet and exercise.
This innovative technique has gained popularity as a safe and effective alternative to surgical fat reduction procedures such as liposuction. Cryolipolysis targets and eliminates fat cells without harming surrounding tissues, making it a favored option for individuals seeking to enhance their body shape and achieve a more sculpted appearance.
Technology and Mechanism
Cooling Technology
Cryolipolysis uses specialized devices that apply controlled cooling to the skin. These devices are equipped with cooling plates or panels that target fat cells in the deeper layers of the skin. The treatment typically involves cooling temperatures between -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F), which is enough to induce crystallization in fat cells without harming the skin.
Biological Response
Fat cells are more susceptible to cold temperatures compared to other types of cells. When exposed to the controlled cooling, fat cells crystallize, leading to their breakdown and natural elimination by the body. The process of fat cell death (apoptosis) is gradual. Once crystallized, fat cells break down and are processed by the body’s lymphatic system, which initiates a process where the body gradually metabolizes and eliminates these dead fat cells over several weeks.
Following the treatment, the body’s lymphatic system processes and removes the damaged fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the thickness of the fat layer. This process typically takes 2 to 4 months for optimal results to become apparent.
Common Treatment Areas
• Abdomen: For reducing stubborn fat around the stomach area.
• Flanks: Also known as “love handles,” these areas can be effectively treated.
• Thighs: Both inner and outer thighs can be targeted.
• Back: Fat deposits around the bra line or upper back.
• Arms: For reducing excess fat in the upper arms.
Z Lipo, a Cryolipolysis technology is a revolutionary advancement in non-invasive body contouring, offering a safe, effective, and convenient solution for individuals looking to reduce stubborn fat deposits.
By leveraging the unique sensitivity of fat cells to cold, cryolipolysis selectively targets and eliminates unwanted fat without surgery or significant downtime. As a result, this innovative treatment continues to be a sought-after option in aesthetic medicine, helping patients achieve their desired body shape and boost their confidence through natural-looking results.
