Medical cryolipolysis for legs

The legs are often affected by stubborn fat deposits. These are primarily located in the thighs and saddlebags but can also affect the calves. Excess weight is not the sole cause—this issue can affect all body types.

In women, fat storage in the legs is often influenced by hormonal factors. Water retention, poor blood circulation, or lymphatic issues can exacerbate the problem. This explains why leg fat is particularly difficult to eliminate, even with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

It is important to note that cryolipolysis exclusively targets fat deposits and does not address water retention or circulation issues.

The principle of cryolipolysis involves the suction and intense cooling of localized fat bulges. The cold triggers an enzymatic reaction that leads to the death of fat cells (apoptosis).

1. Targeted Action: The cold selectively destroys fat cells (adipocytes) without damaging surrounding tissues.
2. Natural Elimination: The destroyed fat cells are processed by macrophages and gradually eliminated through the lymphatic system.
3. Non-Invasive: This method is highly effective for targeting resistant fat and reshaping the legs without surgery.

Cryolipolysis can treat several specific areas of the legs, including :

• Inner thighs;
• Saddlebags;
• Anterior or posterior thighs;
• Knees;
• Calves.

The Cristal Pro cryolipolysis device features multiple applicators tailored to different body areas. This versatility ensures optimal results for each specific zone of the legs.

Your journey begins with an initial consultation, during which Dr. Aimé evaluates your expectations, needs, and overall health. After confirming there are no contraindications, she will propose a personalized treatment plan.

Session Details :

• Conducted at the clinic in a safe and comfortable setting.
• Duration: Typically 60 minutes, depending on the targeted areas and volume of fat.
• Procedure :
  • A protective gel is applied to the treatment areas.
  • The Cristal Pro applicators are placed, suctioning fat deposits and cooling them.
  • You may feel tension initially, but the area becomes numb due to the cold, making the procedure painless.
• Post-Treatment :
  • The applicators are removed, and Dr. Aimé performs a massage on the treated area to activate lymphatic drainage and optimize results.

After the session, the treated area may appear red and remain sensitive for a few days. Numbness or minor bruising can also occur.

Post-Treatment Care :

• Stay hydrated in the following days.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle and engage in daily physical activity (e.g., at least 30 minutes of walking).
• Combine the treatment with lymphatic drainage or massages for enhanced results.

Visible Results :

• Fat reduction begins to be noticeable around the fourth week post-treatment.
• Final results are achieved within 2 to 3 months.
• Patients often report high satisfaction, with slimmer, more defined legs and improved overall aesthetics.

The effects of cryolipolysis are long-lasting, provided you maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise routine.

The cost of a cryolipolysis session for the legs varies depending on the size of the treated area and the number of applicators used. Prices start at €450 including tax. A detailed quote will be provided during your consultation.
