Cristal pro cryolipolysis: Slim down with cold

Cryolipolysis works on a simple principle: when a fat cell is subjected to intense, prolonged cold, it releases an enzyme that leads to apoptosis (the death of the fat cell). This cell is then digested by macrophages and eliminated by the liver via the lymphatic system, completing the elimination process. This natural mechanism typically occurs over about three months. Cryolipolysis acts locally, affecting only fat tissues exposed to the cold. It does not target cellulite or overweight issues and does not replace a healthy diet.

Cristal Pro cryolipolysis is an aesthetic medicine treatment that helps eliminate stubborn fat that resists strict diets and regular exercise. This slimming method targets fat deposits on various body areas :

• Abdomen
• Love handles
• Bra line (middle back fat)
• Saddlebags
• Inner thighs and arms
• Lower abdomen
• Thighs
• Knees
• Chin and facial contour

In a single session, the Cristal Pro device can treat up to four areas simultaneously, offering a customized slimming treatment. Its 14 handpieces make it possible to treat small areas like above the knee or the double chin, as well as larger areas like the abdomen.

During an initial consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be created, determining the number of areas to be treated, checking for contraindications (Raynaud’s disease, pacemaker, blood clotting disorders, etc.), and providing a cost estimate.

On the day of treatment, your doctor will measure the circumference of the treatment area, weigh you, and double-check for any local contraindications (hernia, skin conditions, recent surgery, etc.). A Cristal Pro cryolipolysis session then proceeds in three steps :

1. After ensuring comfort, the doctor applies a gel-soaked wipe to the area;
2. The handpiece is positioned; the fat bulge is suctioned and cooled over an area approximately 15-25 cm in length and 8 cm in width. You will feel tension, then numbness due to the cold, making the treatment painless throughout the 60-90 minutes of cooling, depending on the area. During this time, you can read, listen to music, or relax;
3. After the session, and once the handpiece is removed, the doctor will massage the treated area for about ten minutes.

Side effects are minimal: the area may feel sensitive for a few days, and there may be numbness, redness, or bruising. Cristal Pro is a safe, non-invasive, and low-pain treatment. This technique targets fat tissues only, sparing surrounding tissues. In the days following, it’s essential to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, and exercise daily (at least 30 minutes of walking). You can also add massages and lymphatic drainage to optimize results.

Results are not immediate, as fat cells are gradually eliminated. You can observe initial effects after four weeks, continuing over the next 3-4 months. Results vary depending on factors like age, initial fat mass, fat duration, and hormonal context (menopause, hormonal imbalances, etc.). Generally, there’s a 30-40% reduction in fat mass in one session, which is typically sufficient for small localized fat pockets. Clinical studies show a circumference reduction between 1.5 cm and 5.5 cm.

If the fat pocket is large, the treatment can be repeated on the same area four weeks after the first session. For extensive areas, adjacent zones may also be treated to achieve a more harmonious result. The fat is permanently removed, providing a lasting outcome. By maintaining a balanced diet and regular physical activity, you can enhance and maintain your new silhouette.

The cost of a Cristal Pro Cryolipolysis session averages €450, regardless of the treated area. However, a reduced rate applies from the second treatment session.

Is Cryolipolysis painful ?

Cryolipolysis is generally not painful, as the treated area is numbed by the cold throughout the session. However, depending on the area and the volume of fat being treated, you may experience mild discomfort or a pulling sensation after the procedure.

While Cryolipolysis is a minimally restrictive treatment, some side effects may occur post-session, such as redness, tenderness, or numbness in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few days following the treatment.
