What exactly happens during the treatment?

During the procedure your practitioner will identify the fatty area to be treated and cover it with a cool gel pad in order to protect the skin. A large cup like applicator will then be applied over the area to be treated. A vacuum is then applied through this cup applicator, which ultimately sucks in the roll of fat that will be treated. You will thus feel a firm pulling sensation during this action, pretty similarly to the application of a vacuum seal and may also feel mild cold in the treated area.

In the first ten minutes the temperature within the cup will then gradually be lowered until it gets to a predetermined temperature of about -7 or -8 degrees Celsius, thereby slowly freezing the fat cells within the roll of fat. The cup applicator will remain in contact, via the suction process, with the treated roll of fat for 1 hour. During the treatment, you can relax, listen to some music, read, use a computer, or watch a movie while the device gently cools your treatment area.
