It is especially beneficial if you want to treat certain areas such as stomach, tights, arms or chin. This is a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require surgery. It has been thoroughly researched and proven that fat cells can be killed when exposed to cold temperatures through special wraps.
What does this treatment include? A specially formulized gel is placed in these wraps that are then folded around the areas of the body you choose. It is recommended to leave them on for about 60 minutes, three times a week. Depending on many factors, this therapy should be repeated between 4 to 6 weeks. In some people, the results might be seen after 3 weeks, but in most, it will take a full-time procedure.
How does it work? It is known that if cooled to a certain point, fat cells will crystalize and then start to decompose i.e. die. After this, the cells will be expelled through the lymphatic system and leave your body together with other unnecessary substances. Furthermore, it has been proven that this therapy burns additional calories thus having a beneficial effect on your metabolism.

How does it feel? At the beginning of the treatment, you will feel intense cold and pressure, but after a while, the cold feeling will subside. During the process, you might feel pinching, discomfort or pulling in certain areas, but you won’t feel any pain. Most of the patients read a book, watch TV or take a nap.
Side effects of this procedure are mild. People usually experience redness, swelling, tickling sensation, or numbness but it all goes away after a few days.
