As its name suggests, this technique involves destroying fat-containing cells -adipocytes- by freezing them. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissues such as skin, blood vessels and nerves. We can therefore use a suitable process to freeze fat and destroy it without damaging the surrounding skin, nerves or blood vessels.
The system works with a suction cup-shaped applicator that sucks in the area to be treated and cools it by extracting heat down to -10° for the duration of the treatment. To control temperature, the Zeltiq cryolipolysis (Coolsculpting) device we use is equipped with a patented system that constantly monitors skin temperature to prevent burns.
Please note that only the Zeltiq-brand Coolsculpting device has this safety feature, and has been approved by the FDA (the American health agency) and CE-marked for medical use following numerous studies.
Other machines on the market, often less expensive, have not been the subject of serious studies and therefore do not offer guarantees of effectiveness and, above all, safety.
For cryolipolysis coolsculpting treatment, as for others, the indications must be clearly defined, with an experienced physician, to avoid disappointment or unsightly results.
The non-invasive Exilis BTL device is used to treat the silhouette: it combines monopolar radiofrequency and focused ultrasound. The Exilis procedure involves safely heating the skin deep down and the fat above 40° to enable collagen induction, which tightens tissues and melts fat through heat. The result is a combined fat loss and tightening effect.
Several Exilis sessions are required to obtain a clear result. This treatment has received FDA approval for the treatment of cellulite. Exilis can also be used to treat thighs, sagging stomachs, faces and arms….
The new OnDa CoolWaves procedure for slimming the tummy, thighs, hips and treating cellulite.
The new OnDa CoolWaves treatment uses microwave technology to heat and destroy fat cells, creating skin tension to combat laxity, sagging skin and cellulite.
OnDa is indicated for women and men with moderate, localized excess fat and stable weight. Women’s tummies after childbirth, saddlebags and fat on the inner thighs and buttocks are excellent indications for OnDa CoolWaves treatment.
Cellulite, which is also very common in these areas, can also be significantly improved by this OnDa treatment.
This new OnDa CoolWaves treatment addresses very frequent requests and is positioned as a truly effective technology compared with other treatments offered today.
Sessions are short and painless. There are no immediate or delayed effects, and of course no scars. OnDa is a perfectly safe treatment. Four sessions are required, approximately three weeks apart, to treat excess fat on the hips, thighs and abdomen, correct skin laxity and improve cellulite if present. OnDa CoolWaves treatment results are maintained over time.
Prices generally range from 300 to 600 euros per session, depending on the size of the area to be treated with OnDa.
Coolsculpting cryolipolysis has been practiced by Dr MOLINARI in Paris since 2009. This gives him excellent dexterity and solid knowledge of the indications in this area.
