A slim, toned body is almost everyone’s beauty goal. But even with exercise and a healthy diet, some stubborn fat deposits just won’t go away. Aesthetic surgery can help – the possibilities are almost endless. Nevertheless, the classic surgical procedure of liposuction has prevailed over many other treatment methods in the past. However, gentle, non-invasive methods are also becoming increasingly popular. <\/p>\n

However, an invasive procedure cannot always be avoided – for example in the case of large areas of fat deposits. Traditional surgical liposuction also has its advantages. But how do the individual procedures work and when is which method more suitable? <\/p>\n

CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/sup> – Fat away through cold<\/b><\/p>\n

CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/sup>, also known as cryolipolysis, is a new procedure for reducing fat cells using cold. This treatment is based on the principle that the membranes of the fat cells are frozen and then rupture – allowing the stored fat to escape and be excreted by the body. The entire fat cell is gradually broken down by the body’s natural metabolism. Depending on the area of the body, the treatment takes between 15 and 60 minutes. The first results are usually visible in up to ten weeks – without any exercise! <\/p>\n

CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/sup> does not require a scalpel at all; the only treatment instruments are various attachments whose suction cups adapt to the respective body region and cool it down. The method is particularly popular because it can take place without the classic surgical character. CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/sup> makes use of the cold sensitivity of the body’s own fat cells. However, there are certain limitations here too: Although CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/sup> is ideal for getting rid of small fat deposits or unwanted love handles, liposuction should be used for large areas. <\/p>\n

Water-jet assisted liposuction – WAL method<\/strong><\/p>\n

The common term liposuction refers to the soaking of fatty tissue with a saline solution and the subsequent aspiration of the tissue fluid using small cannulas. The innovative water-jet assisted liposuction – also known as WAL – offered by UNIQAESTHETICS\u00ae<\/sup> is a recommended and gentle procedure in which liquid is injected in batches under high pressure to dissolve the fatty tissue and then directly sucked out again. This very precise and accurate procedure is suitable for anytype of fat pad and<\/strong>for any region, regardless of size, and nowadays general anesthesia is no longer necessary; the procedures can be performed under local anesthesia. Lasting results are immediate. <\/p>\n

What are the risks and downtimes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cold of cryolipolysis can be uncomfortable for some patients, but it is not painful. The advantage of CoolSculpting\u00ae is that the patient can go about their usual daily activities afterwards without having to take long periods of absence into account. Only minimal side effects such as bruising, redness or swelling may occur in the short term, but these disappear again within a few days. With water-jet assisted liposuction, it should be noted that this is a surgical procedure that involves a slightly longer downtime. The injected saline solution can cause slight tension pain in some areas, but if performed correctly, the WAL method itself is painless and low-risk. The patient should allow for up to four days off work afterwards. The two treatment options differ in their area of application: CoolSculpting\u00ae is suitable for active people with problem areas that will not disappear even with regular exercise. The WAL method can be used for all other deposits. It is intended for significant weight and circumference reduction and leads to visible results in every part of the body. Another advantage is that the liposuctioned fat tissue is ideally suited for autologous fat transfer (lipofilling) <\/strong>for injecting facial wrinkles, breasts or buttocks. As soon as one of these two treatments is being considered, a consultation with a specialist should be sought. At UNIQAESTHETICS\u00ae<\/sup>, we can take a realistic look at the goals, assess any risks and then select the most suitable treatment method. Despite innovative techniques, it is the treating physician’s task to recommend the best procedure for the individual body. A detailed consultation is therefore crucial.
