criolipolisisTechniques to eliminate unsightly fatty deposits have a novelty: criolipólisis. To date, the dermatologist looked to the heat to eliminate them, but now it’s cool that leverage the expertise to eliminate unsightly “love”.

Hit the gym to sweat blood, dieting, quitting alcohol and snuff are healthy habits to achieve an appropriate rate, but differential metabolism of each person keeps everyone will get the goal. And one of the things that torment people who combine exercise and reduced intake in that they are not noticed or are “at least possible, note the circumference of waist fat.

When healthy habits are not sufficient to eradicate these adiposity, including unsightly “love” is possible to use clinical procedures. The techniques to remove fat are becoming rampant and the success rate is getting higher.

Positive results
To date, the dermatologist resorted heat to treat skin lesions (laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound, etc.). But now incorporates for the first time the cold to remove the fat, criolipólisis, with positive results ever higher.

Scientists at Harvard University (USA) were the first in the world to design a system that removes the fat by cold. The brain of this new design is the dermatologist Dr. Richard Rox Anderson, who in 72 percent of cases of patients treated at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine claims to have succeeded in eliminating the “love”.

Expert in the use of lasers to treat birthmarks, tattoo removal and skin lesions is also recognized internationally Rox Anderson, a patented permanent hair removal in the three quarters of all the hair on the body surface.

In Spain, one of the pioneers of the introduction of criolipólisis is Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, head of the Dermatology Ruber Clinic and Director of the International Dermatology Clinic, both located in Madrid. The latter is where you just installed the proper equipment to practice the new technique, which introducer calls “non-aggressive, safe and comfortable for the patient and with minimal side effects.

“It’s not really a surgical procedure as there is no needles or needles or scalpel. In a sort of” squeeze “is evacuated and select an area of skin with fat you want to treat,” says Dr. Ruiz Efe .

“Fat has a special behavior when cooled” he adds. We all have the experience that the oil is made solid to put it in the fridge, with or without butter. ”

Normal metabolism
From this evidence, according to the Spanish expert, Harvard scientists devised a cooling system that destroys these adipocytes or fat cells without damaging the rest of the skin cells.

“Fat cells in the treated area pointed to by the” specialist “are phased out through the body’s normal metabolic process. The result is a natural and significant reduction of adipose fat, and is visible in patients over a period of two four months. ”

An important advantage of this technique for patients is that while surgery is performed in an aseptic for obvious reasons, does not require anesthesia because “the very cold does not hurt at all.”

It also states that there are, in principle, risks in the treatment of criolipólisis.

“You might see a mild redness in the treated area” he cautions. This may take several minutes or hours. You may also see some localized hematoma, which disappears in a few weeks.

Some patients experience tingling or numbness in the treated area, which can last from one to eight weeks, but treated everyone can return to normal activity immediately after surgery, including work and exercise. ”

No obesity
However, the dermatologist warns that this technique is not indicated in cases of obesity.

“This treatment is precisely to” thin people with localized fat deposits, not against obesity. If the patient postoperatively fat, fat is not located specifically in the area treated but the results are less grateful. ”

Nor can still ensure that the “love” they are going to eliminate a “radical” with criolipólisis. Since the technique is new you can not know for sure what will happen long term.

“What we do is shown” Ruiz says, is that fat cells are removed from the area dramatically as a percentage of around 20% and do not reappear.

To date, the criolipólisis has been applied to the abdomen, flanks (waist) and back. Now they’re doing clinical trials for its implementation in other body areas like arms, legs, or gill.
