Z Lipo (Cryolipolysis)
Z Lipo (Cryolipolysis) effectively reduces a double chin by using controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in the submental area. This non-surgical procedure offers a gradual and natural-looking improvement in the contour of the chin, providing a more defined and youthful appearance.
Benefits:
1) Effective Fat Reduction
Targets and reduces fat specifically in the double chin area, providing a more contoured appearance. The fat cells that are destroyed are permanently eliminated, leading to lasting results in the treated area.
2) Non-Surgical and Safe
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment. It does not involve surgery or injections, making it a less invasive alternative to surgical procedures.
3) Natural-Looking Results
The results develop gradually over several weeks, leading to a natural-looking reduction in the double chin without sudden changes.
How does it work?
How Z Lipo (Cryolipolysis) Reduces Double Chin
1) Controlled Cooling
Z Lipo uses cryolipolysis technology, which involves applying controlled cooling to the fat cells in the targeted area. The cooling device is carefully positioned under the chin to target the submental fat. The device cools the fat cells to a temperature that induces crystallization (freezing). This temperature is specifically calibrated to affect fat cells while protecting surrounding tissues.
2) Fat Cell Crystallization
The controlled cooling causes the fat cells to crystallize, which leads to their destruction. The fat cells become rigid and undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). The body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells over several weeks to months. This process results in a gradual reduction of fat in the double chin area.
3) Precision Targeting
Z Lipo’s applicators are designed to conform to the contours of the chin area, ensuring precise and effective cooling of the fat cells. The applicator gently suctions the skin and fat tissue into the device, ensuring that the cooling is directly applied to the targeted fat layer. The treatment is non-invasive, meaning there are no needles or incisions involved. It focuses solely on fat cells, leaving the surrounding skin and tissues unharmed.
Best for individuals who have localized fat deposits under the chin and are close to their ideal weight. It is not a weight-loss solution but a contouring treatment. Candidates should be in good general health and have no contraindications for cold-based therapies.
Treatment Procedure
1) Consultation
During a pre-treatment consultation, a healthcare provider assesses the patient's suitability for Z Lipo, discusses goals, and determines the appropriate treatment plan for the double chin.
2) Treatment Application
The treatment area is marked and the cooling applicator is applied under the chin. The applicator uses gentle vacuum suction to pull the fat into the device. The cooling phase typically lasts between 35 to 60 minutes. During this time, patients may feel a cold sensation and some initial discomfort, which usually subsides as the area becomes numb.
3) Post-Treatment Care
After the applicator is removed, the treated area may be massaged to enhance the fat breakdown process. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or numbness, which generally resolves within a few hours to days.
Post-Treatment Expectations
Patients should expect to see gradual improvement in the double chin area, with optimal results usually visible within 2 to 4 months after the treatment.
Number of Sessions
Some patients may require more than one session to achieve the desired results. The number of sessions depends on factors like the amount of fat and individual goals.
Sessions are usually spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow the body time to process and eliminate the fat.
