Fat freezing doesn’t categorize as a weight loss treatment, but rather a cosmetic procedure, and it is designed to help eliminate fat deposits in our body.
Cryolipolysis has been researched and proven to work. The research states that fat cells can be destroyed by exposure to cold temperatures through special wraps use fat freezing and cold thermogenesis to target stubborn fat.
Using these wraps is a piece of cake. Begin by placing specially formulated gel packs that are used as the freezing material into the pockets of the wrap. Then tightly wrap the “wrap” around the area in which you need fat freezing. The desired wear of the wrap is 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week, up to 8 to 10 weeks. Desired effects will start to show near the end of the therapy while some results can be seen at even 3 weeks. The fat freezing wrap works in a way that in time, the fat will be cooled to the point that causes apoptosis (or cell death), which results in a reduction of your fat cells.
The wrap has been proven to have positive effects on your metabolism, and burn additional calories on the way, subsequently reducing more fat.
