3D Lipo Fat Freezing in London
3D Lipo’s fat freezing treatment, often called cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive procedure designed to reduce stubborn fat deposits by freezing the fat cells. The process is based on the principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than their surrounding tissues. Targeted cooling breaks down and eliminates fat cells without damaging the overlying skin or other structures. 3D Lipo fat freezing is safe and effective for London and Mayfair patients looking to get rid of unwanted fat without invasive surgery and downtime. Sculpt your physique and boost your confidence today. Reach out to request a consultation and learn more about this innovative fat-reduction procedure sweeping the nation.
Restore Your Body Confidence With 3D Lipo Fat Freezing
During 3D Lipo fat freezing, fat cells undergo crystallisation and localised cell death when exposed to a fat-freezing temperature. The freezing and crystallisation process causes the cell to become damaged and shrink, resulting in the cells sending out distress signals. Macrophages answer these signals, ingest damaged and shrunken cells, and take them through the body’s natural waste removal system called the lymph system. About 20 to 40% of fat cells in the treated area die naturally and dissolve over the week, with results showing after approximately four months. Our experienced team combines cryolipolysis with shockwave therapy to enhance and accelerate results, promoting faster elimination and breakdown of the damaged fat cells. 3D Lipo fat freezing is a safe and effective fat treatment for upper arms, love handles, double chins, and anywhere else you want to reduce areas of stubborn body fat.
What Can 3D Lipo Fat Freezing Treatment Achieve?
3D Lipo fat freezing treatment can help our London and Mayfair patients achieve a healthier, more toned appearance. The ideal candidate for treatment is someone who is relatively fit but has pockets of stubborn fat that are difficult to eliminate through mere diet and exercise. Treatment involves freezing fat cells in specific areas of the body, such as the chin, stomach, or back. Fat cells have a weak structure and cannot survive at low temperatures. Fat cells are frozen to the point of apoptosis (cell death) during treatment. Once apoptosis has occurred, the dead fat cells are removed from the body through the lymphatic system. This natural removal of fat cells can lead to a reduction in the thickness of the fat layer. These unwanted toxins are removed from the body by drinking at least two litres of water a day from the treatment date.
What Should You Expect Post-Treatment?
Bruising, swelling, redness, cramping, pain, and sensitivity can occur in the treatment area after 3D Lipo fat freezing treatment. Rare side effects may include prolonged numbness, late-onset pain, freeze burn, hardened skin areas, or a rare but serious condition called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), which occurs when the fat cells increase rather than decrease in size. Most side effects are short-lived and will resolve with time. Most can resume their regular routine immediately after the procedure without any significant downtime.
You may start to see changes as early as three weeks after 3D Lipo treatment. However, the best results are typically seen 12 weeks after the procedure. Your body will continue to process the injured fat cells from your body naturally for about three months after treatment. For the most desirable results, your fat-freezing treatment works best if complemented with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Please contact us with any questions or concerns following fat-freezing treatment at our Mayfair clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fat-freezing treatment is safe and effective for ridding yourself of stubborn fat from anywhere on the body.
Popular treatment areas include:
- Double chin
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Flanks (love handles)
- Back fat
- Upper arms
- Buttocks (banana rolls)
The 3D-Cryofreeze treatment is generally considered a comfortable, painless procedure. During the treatment, you may experience a slight pulling sensation and will feel the treatment area getting cold. However, within a few minutes, the area will become numb.
3D Lipo fat freezing is a one-off treatment. However, depending on your desired results, it can be used as part of a bespoke course of treatments. Our clinicians will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan, targeting problem areas and providing the best possible results, which may include combining 3D-Cryofreeze with other technologies.
While cosmetic procedures are not without unwanted side effects, we take every precaution to minimise complications and offer a safe and comfortable patient experience. Reported side effects include but are not limited to bruising, redness, or slight numbness for up to three months.
You may feel a dull sensation in the treated area that can last several weeks after the procedure. If the chin area has been treated, you may experience a feeling of fullness in the back of the throat, which will subside one to two weeks after treatment.
You can apply Vitamin E liberally to aid healing. Avoid hot baths and heat treatments for the first few days. In the unlikely event of prolonged swelling, itching, tingling, numbness, tenderness to the touch, pain in the treated area, cramping, aching, bruising, and skin sensitivity, please contact us for assistance.
As fat cells are exposed to freezing temperatures, they crystallise and are irreversibly damaged until they die a controlled and natural cell death. Once the treatment is complete, the crystallised fat cells break down and die and are absorbed naturally and gradually by the body’s lymphatic system. They are excreted through the liver as waste products. Fat cells are eliminated permanently, contributing to a long-term contouring and slimming effect in the treated area.
Fat-freezing treatment at our London aesthetic clinic can be combined with other technologies, such as shockwave therapy and radiofrequency skin tightening. RF therapy is especially beneficial following fat freezing, as it promotes collagen production for a smoother appearance. Waiting an adequate period between body contouring treatments may be necessary to ensure optimal results and recovery.
Our team can create a bespoke package to target other concerns, such as cellulite and loose skin, for a more complete approach. Contact us to book a consultation to discuss this safe and effective fat-reduction procedure!
