Fat Freezing VS Fat Melting 

(Cool sculpting VS Radio frequency) 

Already, non-invasive body sculpting has become the go-to treatment for celebrities, athletes, and anybody that simply wants to shift those stubborn areas of unwanted fat without spending hours in the gym or going under the knife.

What are the most effective fat reduction treatments?

There are two main approaches to non invasive fat reduction: fat melting and fat freezing. The first is done by Radiofrequency (RF), which converts electrical energy to heat beneath the skin, causing the fat cells to melt. Fat freezing is achieved with Cryolipolysis (Cryo), which uses sub-zero temperatures to freeze the fat cells. Both techniques result in lipoapoptosis, whereby fat cells are emptied and the fat is removed through the body’s lymphatic system.

️Therapists are more actively involved with RF treatments; gliding the treatment hand piece over the target area, which creates an even result without gaps. With Cryo treatment, the therapist just needs to set up the Cryo applicators and activate them. However, because Cryo applicators are static during treatment and are typically quite large, the treatment is limited to larger body areas such as the abdomen, legs and back. In contrast, RF treatments can be performed almost anywhere on the body, including problematic areas for excess weight and loose skin such as the arms and neck.

️Clients will usually feel a comfortable warm sensation with Radiofrequency body sculpting(like a hot stone massage). 
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Cryolipolyisis. The pulling skin suction and freezing temperatures of around -11°C can make the treatment quite uncomfortable. Clients can also expect to feel a localised soreness after their fat freezing treatment, similar to that of a minor muscle injury or intense workout.

️Potential side effects

For Fat Melting treatments to effectively break down fat cells and stimulate collagen production, an optimal temperate range of 40-42°C is required at the skin’s surface. Many advanced RF devices now feature integrated real-time temperature monitoring systems to ensure safe therapeutic temperatures are not exceeded and eliminate the risk of thermal injury.
Although quite rare, ’ice burns’ are a concern with Cryolipolysis. Furthermore, fat freezing treatments carry the remote risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This adverse reaction to the treatment results in the fat cells and treatment area becoming larger rather than smaller. We don’t exactly know why PAH happens to certain patients, and recent studies suggest that PAH occurs far more often (1 out of 138 treatments) than the manufacturer has previously reported (1 out of 4,000 treatments).

️One major benefit of radiofrequency treatment is that in destroying the fat cells, it also stimulates an inflammatory response, which triggers an increase in collagen and elastin in the body. The end result is tissue repair. So any loose skin left from eliminating the fat cells is naturally tightened. It’s a fat reduction and skin tightening at the same time. 

Fat freezing methods are unable to produce this result.
