Cool Sculpting by Zeltiq
New at Lasair!!! Brand new technology, non-invasive fat removal.
Invented by Dr. Dieter Manstein, and Dr. R. Rox Anderson, Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusettes General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston.
Fat cells are more cold-sensitive than other cells, including epidermis
- Triglycerides phase transition (crystallization) above 4
- Intracellular fat crystal formation
Prolonged, controlled tissue cooling will result in selective fat damage, while sparing other tissues
- Must understand and control complex varibles to target fat, protect epidermus
Precise energy extraction (cold) optimized to injure only fat cells
- Cooling fat through surface of skin > 15 minutes
- Precise cooling enables safes... only affects fat cells while sparing skin, nerves, muscle; i.e., selective cryolipolysis
Postulated mechanisms: including crystallization of lipids in fat cells
- Apoptotic fat cell death followed by slow dissolution of cell, gradual release of lipids
- Natural inflammatory process results in fat layer reduction over 2 to 4 months
How cryolipolysis works
- Precisely controlled cooling is applied to fat layer without harming the skin
- Cooling is applied for pre-determined time period casuing the fat cells to undergo apoptosis
- The fat cells begin to collapse and eventually die
- Naturally inflammatory process removes dead fat cells over time resulting in fat layer reduction
Price - $750 per cycle (squeeze)
