The growing market for cryolipolysis

The growing market for cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction technique that has gained significant popularity in recent years. This innovative treatment uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells, helping patients achieve a more contoured body shape. One example of an increasingly popular cryolipolysis device is the Cooltech Define device. In this article, we will focus on the key aspects of cryolipolysis devices, address some key topics, and help you determine whether a cryolipolysis device is right for your clinic.

According to a report by Transparency Market Research, the global cryolipolysis devices market is expected to grow considerably in the next few years, driven by the increasing demand for non-invasive fat reduction treatments and the rising adoption of these devices in clinics, but also the surge in demand for non-invasive treatments generally. Grand View Research estimates that the global market for non-invasive fat treatment will grow at 15% year-on-year between now and 2028 – the market is currently worth more than $1 billion.

Key topics if you’re considering using cryolipolysis devices in your clinic

• How does cryolipolysis work?

Cryolipolysis treatments involve the use of controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. Once the fat cells are frozen, they die and are naturally processed and removed by the body. This process results in a permanent reduction of fat cells in the treated area and provides long-lasting results.

• Cryolipolysis is non-invasive and safe.

Cryolipolysis treatments are non-invasive, meaning there is no need for anaesthesia, incisions, or downtime. The procedure is safe and well-tolerated, with only minimal side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or numbness in the area treated.

• Cryolipolysis is not a weight loss solution.

Cryolipolysis treatments are not intended for weight loss. Instead, they are designed to help individuals who are close to their ideal weight target stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. Cryolipolysis is most effective for those looking to achieve subtle body contouring improvements.

• Multiple treatment sessions may be necessary.

Some patients may notice a visible reduction in fat after just one cryolipolysis session, most patients require multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. The number of sessions needed depends on the individual's targets and the target area(s).

• Are there potential risks associated with this treatment?

As with any aesthetic treatment, it is very important that the proper pre-, during and post-treatment instructions are followed both by practitioners and patients. To equip them as much as possible, the manufacturer of this technology has created training videos which go together with innovative product developments to protect patients. We recommend following the safety instructions provided in the manual.
