Cryolipolysis induces natural fat cell death in fat cells through controlled cooling, leading to their natural elimination.
It uses controlled cooling to target and crystallize fat cells, triggering a natural cell death process called apoptosis, after which the body metabolizes and eliminates them.
The procedure induces adipocyte apoptosis through controlled cooling to just above freezing temperatures. This triggers an inflammatory response, and the dead fat cells are gradually cleared by phagocytes and processed through the lymphatic system over several weeks to months.
