Hey.

I'm Dr. Prachi Patil. I'm an aesthetic physician, an anti-aging specialist and also we work in obesity management. Today, I will talk about fat loss treatment. We all know at a point in life when in spite of exercising and maintaining a good diet and a lifestyle, still in our body there are certain areas which have a stubborn fat pad and it doesn't move in spite of doing all these treatments. So that is the point we realize that there is a stubborn fat pad. Which needs to be treated either surgical or non-surgically. In non-surgical, we have an option that is cryolipolysis. It is a fat freezing technology wherein the fat cells are being cooled and then eventually they die and they expelled out by the body naturally. This process is a body contouring process and fat loss treatment. It does not lead to weight loss treatment and with this you see the result after 3 to 4 weeks of the procedure and the final result is seen after 3 months.

Now, these stubborn fat cells, why do they happen? It can be due to slow metabolism, due to thyroid, due to diabetes due to age-related problems and a sedentary lifestyle so when you talk about slow metabolism what actually happens is that whatever we eat the energy that is produced is either stored or consumed by the body. Now in the long run instead of consuming, the energy is stored most of the time converted into fat and there are certain areas in the body like the abdominal area, thigh area, the chin area, where the fat gets accumulated more and then it gives you more consciousness, sometimes depression because you're not able to wear the clothes you want to wear, you're not able to move around confidently because you're conscious because of the excess fat areas into your body. So I would like to show you how the cryolipolysis works. So let's see how the treatment works. okay this is our cryolipolysis machine, it has different probes to be used on the specific areas of Correction, this we use it for the abdominal fat pad.

What we do is that we measure the fat area with the caliper and then that particular area we have to put a sheet, which is called antifreeze pad to maintain the temperature and then we have to start this probe on to the desired area of correction and this treatment will take at least 45 minutes to 60 minutes per area, per session. So this is the cryolipolysis probe for the abdominal area, first two minutes there will be heating and then there will be a cooling effect, so this will cover area of concern.

So we have to measure the fat pad, accordingly we have to design the program for the particular area. We will be keeping it for 45 minutes and see how the patient is very comfortable. Patient can read, patient can go back to sleep as it is a very patient-friendly machine. We saw how this cryolipolysis is a very non-invasive, no downtime procedure, safe procedure can be done in to your regular working hours so this has to be backed up with a good diet and exercise along with the treatment and to know more details you can also contact me at our clinic and you can also ask me questions in my clinic and I believe you have understood what we have shown you about the cryolipolysis treatment, definitely you need to understand more so please feel free to contact me.

Thank you so much.
