Cryolipolysis in Barcelona

It depends on the amount of fat and the treated area. In most cases, 2 to 3 sessions per area are sufficient to achieve optimal results.

Yes, it is even recommended to maintain your active routine to promote the natural elimination of fat cells.
At Clínica Lago, we answer all your questions before, during, and after your treatment. Your safety and well-being are our priority.

It is a non-invasive procedure that eliminates fat (adipocytes) through controlled cold exposure for a specific duration. This controlled cold exposure induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated via the lymphatic system.

The most appropriate course of action is to request a consultation with us so we can perform a personalized assessment. We will take into account factors such as skin laxity, cellulite, active skin diseases, stretch marks, recent scars near the treatment area (e.g., from a C-section), hypersensitivity to cold (Raynaud’s Syndrome), abdominal hernias, and more. This allows us to adapt the treatment protocol to your specific situation.

The objective of the treatment is to eliminate localized subcutaneous fat in patients of normal weight (BMI ≤30). The areas that can be treated include: the upper and lower abdomen, lumbar region, mid-back, sub-gluteal area, outer thighs, inner thighs, and the inner or upper knees. Multiple areas can be treated in the same session.

Pregnancy is a contraindication for this treatment: due to natural body changes, it is not the appropriate time to undergo the procedure.

Cryolipolysis treatment requires 90 minutes at the clinic. Once measurements have been taken and the areas to be treated have been defined, the applicators are selected. There are more than 12 different ones to adapt with maximum effectiveness to the morphology of each patient’s areas. The treatment is completely safe since we protect the skin with a specific cryoprotective membrane, and then activate the applicator that collects the fatty accumulation inside. It is then subjected to controlled and homogeneous cooling down to -10°C for approximately 70 minutes. At the end, a massage is performed on the area for about 2 minutes, and you are ready to return to your routine. One or two sessions spaced two to three months apart are usually sufficient.

Significant skin laxity will prevent proper skin retraction due to intrinsic deterioration. Therefore, it is one of the factors to be assessed in person.

No. What you will feel is a slight pulling sensation and intense cold during the first few minutes, which disappears as the area becomes numb. It is a pain-free, needle-free treatment.

Redness or mild skin sensitivity may occur in the hours afterwards, but it disappears quickly. It does not prevent you from carrying out your usual activities.

It is a treatment that can be performed at any time of year.

Fat tissue reduction is permanent: eliminated adipocytes are not replaced by new cells. With 2 sessions, a permanent average reduction of 27.4% of treated fat is achieved. As always, we recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
