Cryolipolysis procedure ( CoolSculpting )
using the Zeltik device or non-surgical correction of fat folds has been known in Russia for more than 10 years.
The first in Moscow to carry out this procedure were specialists from the Beauty Trend clinic. It is estimated that over the years more than 11 thousand sessions
!
Why the procedure has become so popular and won the trust of doctors and their patients will be told by Alexander Popilishko
, a figure correction specialist at the Beauty Trend clinic.
— Alexander, tell us about the procedure - who is it suitable for, what problems does it solve?
The most important indicator for the procedure is its demand. For more than 10 years, cryolipolysis has been one of the HITs in our clinic. Interest in the procedure does not subside; on the contrary, three years ago the technology underwent a “rebirth”: a new generation of attachments appeared, giving an even more pronounced result. And the demand for cryolipolysis among our patients has increased.
Almost any area of the body
The cryolpiolysis procedure is carried out using the Zeltiq device and allows you to get rid of fat folds on any area of the body and even in the double chin area
!
- How does fat disappear?
— The principle of operation is based on cryolipolysis technology or cold effects on local fat deposits. Within 35 minutes, the fat fold is cooled, while the tissues and surrounding vessels are not involved, only the fat.
Subsequently, fat cells exposed to cold lose their viability and are eliminated from the body. If we consider that the number of fat cells in every person remains unchanged throughout life, then Zeltik is a real salvation against the problem areas that each of us has.
Often people who are quite slim come to me, but have fat folds in genetically determined places (lower abdomen, inner surface of the arms, folds in the bra area, etc.), against which even fitness and diets are powerless. In such cases, Zeltik helps out, easily coping with the genetic traps of fat.
Up to 40% of fat is removed in one procedure
— And the effect of the procedure is comparable to surgical liposuction?
— When using the Zeltiq technique, up to 40% of fat is removed in one procedure, and, as experience shows, this effect satisfies the majority of patients. Unlike a surgical operation, after a Zeltik session there is no need to wear compression garments, there is no rehabilitation, and no traces of the impact remain on the skin. However, if the patient wants to achieve an ideal result, in this case, we recommend repeating the procedure after 3 months. Thus, he will get an even more pronounced result. It is important to emphasize that cryolipolysis using the Zeltik device is not a course procedure, but a single, or maximum double, procedure.
One-time procedure
— Does the procedure give an immediate effect or is it progressive?
— The first effect is that the patient sees a reduction in volume within 2-4 weeks. And the final result – reduction of fat folds and slender body contours – can be assessed 1-3 months after the procedure. And the wait is worth it, the eliminated fat does not return, and if you do not abuse junk food, the effect of the procedure will last for many years.
— How does the patient feel during the procedure? Cold?
— During the first 7-8 minutes the patient feels a slight tingling sensation, and after the tenth minute does not experience any discomfort.
Unpleasant sensations may occur after the end of the procedure when the nozzle is removed, but they pass quickly enough, after 5-10 minutes. After the procedure, a light massage is performed, followed by shock wave therapy. This is a unique know-how developed by Beauty Trend specialists to get the best possible results for our patients.
— Tell us more about this.
— After removing the attachment, five minutes of the so-called “golden massage” begins, since the adipose tissue is in a frozen state and the connections of the fat cells (adipocytes) are severed among themselves. If shock wave therapy is carried out during these 5 minutes, the cells will not connect with each other and the effect of the procedure will be better than without it.
— In what areas can this device be used? Belly, hips, double chin?
— The clinic offers all types of attachments for the Zeltik device, thanks to which we can correct literally any area! The large nozzle is ideal for voluminous fat deposits on the abdomen, the “rescue fat circle” on the waist, the medium nozzles will cope with excess fatty tissue on the arms, back, and in the subgluteal fold. There is a special attachment for the hips to correct the riding breeches area, and a miniature attachment for the knee and chin areas.
It is important to mention that the procedure is equally effective for men and women.

— Do you have two
Zeltiq , and, accordingly, the patient can be “treated” simultaneously from two devices?
— Yes, this is an advantage of our clinic. There are situations when the client wants to treat several areas, but has limited time at his disposal, for example, only a lunch break. And in this case, we can provide such an opportunity, thanks to two devices. The presence of two devices is our undeniable advantage, because in just 35 minutes the patient can get rid of two zones simultaneously.
— If a patient wants to achieve a pronounced effect, then how many procedures should he undergo?
— In most cases, one cryolipolysis procedure is enough to get rid of excess fat in the problem area. In my practice there has not been a single such case. And world statistics say that only about 20% of patients resort to the second procedure.
— Does the device have individual attachments?
- No, they are, but they are carefully processed to a sterile state and undergo timely maintenance. In addition, during the procedure, the correction area is first treated with an alcohol wipe, then a disposable mat soaked in a special liquid is placed on it, protecting the skin from the cold. It is to this that the nozzle is applied, i.e. in fact, the patient does not have direct contact with the nozzle itself.

— What can/cannot be done before/after the Zeltik procedure?
— After the Zeltik procedure, all warming procedures are strictly prohibited for 3-4 weeks - sauna, steam bath, as well as all procedures based on the use of RF energy (radio frequency energy).
Sports activities are encouraged, especially swimming, treadmill, massage, even walks in the park - this will stimulate the processes of removing fat cells from the body and improve the result.
— Are there any painful sensations after the procedure?
— The patient may experience minor discomfort for one to two days. These sensations pass on their own and do not require the use of analgesics.
— Do bruises and swelling remain after the cryolipolysis procedure?
— Apart from a slight redness in the treatment area immediately after the procedure, absolutely nothing remains. The redness goes away after a couple of hours.
— What other absolute and relative contraindications are there for the
Zeltiq ?
— Absolute contraindications are pregnancy, lactation, cold intolerance, impaired peripheral circulation, open wounds, infections, all skin diseases in the affected area, poor blood clotting, scars, recent surgeries. One of the main contraindications to the procedure is hernias in the affected area.
— If we are talking about double chin correction, is it possible to combine Zeltik procedures with threads or fillers?
— Yes, the combined approach is widely practiced by cosmetologists at the clinic. However, in the following sequence: first carry out the cryolipolysis procedure, and then apply threads or fillers. Because first you need to reduce fat deposits in the chin area, and then fix the result with fillers or threads.
— How long have you been working on this device?
- 6 years.
— Have you undergone special training?
- Certainly. Official developers and suppliers from the USA come to Russia to the Beauty Trend clinic, and we also go to practice at the cryolipolysis institute. This is an excellent opportunity to learn new protocols and share experience with foreign colleagues, because every time new nuances and know-how appear that allow you to achieve better results. We apply the acquired knowledge in practice and see how happy our patients are, getting rid of excess fat without scars and a scar in just one 35-minute procedure.
— Are there any important nuances and requirements for the procedure?
— Cryolipolysis is carried out only on an original device from the USA. This is a guarantee of the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Now there are fakes from China and Korea that are completely useless in terms of results and are dangerous to health. Therefore, do not be fooled by the low cost; only the original Zeltik device will help you effectively deal with fat!
— And finally, the most important question, what is the price range for
Zeltiq in the clinic?
— The cost of the procedure depends on the correction area and the volume of the fat fold. If we are talking about a solid fold on the abdomen, a large attachment is used (cost 45,000 rubles), correction of the middle zones (waist, arms, hips) - from 27,000 rubles.
And let me remind you that Zeltik is a one-time procedure, it does not need to be done in a course.
Alexander, thank you very much for the interesting information!
Zeltiq
Our body is designed in a unique way, so we all have a genetic predisposition to depositing excess fat cells “in reserve” in certain aesthetic areas. Many of us try to get rid of fat deposits through exhausting and dangerous food diets that harm the body. Performing difficult physical exercises can also be a futile exercise.
In cases where diets and sports prove to be ineffective in the process of losing excess weight, non-invasive cryolipolysis technology from the Zeltiq-Coolsculpting company comes to the rescue, thanks to which you can remove unnecessary pounds using a safe, non-surgical method.
Most clinical studies have proven that low temperature has a destructive effect on adipose tissue. It is on this principle that the Cool Sculpting device produced by Zeltiq works. It is worth noting that only certain aesthetic zones of the human body “fat traps” on them can interact with the working environment of the device:
- Forearm;
- Sides;
- Stomach;
- Inner and outer thigh;
- Chin.
When performing the cryolipolysis procedure, the volume of fat deposits is reduced only in the above areas. In the case of the presence of a large number of extra pounds, the surgical method of liposuction, which involves pumping out subcutaneous fat using punctures, will be more effective, however, compensatory deposition of fat in other places of the body is excluded, but the main problem is possible physiological complications for the patient’s body. Cool Sculpting completely eliminates such side effects
The use of Zeltiq technology requires the presence of a doctor who monitors the procedure and ensures that it is performed correctly. Using a special vacuum attachment, problem areas of the human body are treated. The approximate temperature in the treatment area is at least +25 degrees. This is a biologically safe temperature indicator that eliminates damage and hypothermia to skin tissue, blood vessels, nerve endings and internal organs. The patient experiences virtually no pain or discomfort.
Due to the “absorption” of heat from the fat trap, the mechanism of apoptosis is activated - the planned death of the fat cell. In this case, all surrounding tissues/vessels, nerves, septal bridges, etc. – do not react in any way to low temperatures. An important condition for performing the cryolipolysis procedure is the volume of fat deposits, which must be at least 3 cm when grasped with the index and thumb. This feature is necessary for the safety of the procedure itself.
The duration of one session is 60 minutes (except for the chin area). After the procedure, the patient can fully continue his usual activities. The effect of the procedure does not occur quickly; it will take at least 2 months for the damage and breakdown of fat cells and their drainage from the body; in some cases, when the expected effect could not be achieved, it is recommended to repeat the session.
A pleasant innovation for all those who want to get rid of unwanted fat traps is the fact that since 2014, the manufacturers of Zeltiq aesthetics have released a new applicator without the use of a vacuum, which allows you to bypass the 3 cm limit in some areas of the body. However, to achieve a positive effect using this applicator.
Among the many “clonal” cryolipolysis procedures, Zeltiq is the ORIGINAL! All information about this method is publicly available on the official website of the Zeltiq company:
- Low trauma, effectiveness and painlessness;
- Safety. In one session, the device “starts the mechanism of destruction” of fat cells in a certain aesthetic zone of the patient. This feature has a beneficial effect on the body, excluding the negative impact on the kidneys, liver and other internal organs during the removal and drainage of decay products;
- Regardless of the model, each device can use from one to six types of applicators. This increases the functionality of working with the equipment;
- A convenient and simple interface allows you to learn how to operate the device correctly almost the first time. A large touch and information screen also facilitates rapid staff training;
- High level of application reliability;
- With proper operation of the device, its service life can last more than 10 years;
- The ergonomic design and compact dimensions of cosmetology equipment allow it to be efficiently adapted to any room with a wide variety of interiors;
- The affordable cost of the device allows you to set an acceptable price for the cryolipolysis procedure.
We offer our customers a wide variety of models of cosmetic equipment, which vary in cost and functionality. Choose the most suitable option for a cryolipolysis machine, which will be a real boon for your clinic or beauty salon. All products are certified, so you don’t have to worry about the safety and efficiency of the device.
