After weight loss most people experience skin laxity, as the increased skin length that used to accommodate for the fat volume becomes “excess skin” and looks loose and saggy. So it’s no wonder that many people ask if skin can naturally contract on its own…

Cryolipolysis vs radio frequency vs cavitation: what is best?

Cryolipolysis vs radio frequency vs cavitation: what is best?

This is a common question at the clinic: “What is best, coolsculpting/cryolipolysis/fat freezing or radiofrequency?” However, as this question is very generic, it invites another question: “What is best for which outcome? For fat reduction, cellulite removal or skin tightening?”

Does coolsculpting get rid of cellulite? Facts vs marketing hype.

Does coolsculpting get rid of cellulite? Facts vs marketing hype.

This a common question we are asked at the clinic. Coolsculpting is the most well-known example of cryolipolysis technology. Cryolipolysis aims to lead to subcutaneous adipose tissue adipolysis (i.e. fat cell death) with the application of extreme cold. Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is the fat tissue UNDER the skin, while cellulite is fat tissue inside the skin (hypodermis), so by definition cryolipolysis / coolsculpting do NOT remove cellulite.
