LONDON, June 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fat-freezing works by using controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells, gradually eliminating them.

During the treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. The applicator uses a vacuum that will draw the tissue into the applicator cup. Clients may feel pulling, tugging, and mild pinching. The cooling is delivered from 35 minutes and subsides within 10 minutes as the area becomes numb. Many clients read, check emails, watch Netflix, or nap during their sessions. The treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminate these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.

PROS
+ No surgery, no needles
+ No downtime
+ Great for getting rid of smaller, stubborn areas of fat

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Following the procedure, typical side effects include redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, cramping, aching, itching, skin sensitivity and numbness.

WHO ISN'T ELIGIBLE?
Obese patients, pregnant women and those who have recently had surgery.

LIPOSUCTION - HOW DOES IT WORK?
Patients may receive a general aesthetic before the procedure, which can last for 1 to 4 hours.

The surgical procedure removes the stubborn fat from a persons' body and enhances its aesthetic appeal. The unwanted fat is then sucked out by a syringe attached to the cannula.

PROS
+ Can help with certain conditions (Lymphedema, Gynecomastia)
+ Safe removal of fat and cellulite from the body

CONS

  • A local anesthetic is required
  • Severe bruising for weeks
  • Any major surgery carries a risk of bleeding, infection, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.

SIDE EFFECTS ?
Following the procedure, typical side effects include severe bruising, inflammation, thrombophlebitis, contour irregularities, numbness, infections, anesthesia risks.

WHO ISN'T ELIGIBLE?
Those with circulation or blood flow problems, such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, or weakened immune systems should not undergo liposuction. It works best for people with good skin tone and elasticity, where the skin molds itself into new contours.
