Cryotherapy fat freezing, commonly referred to as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body. The most well-known brand name for this treatment is CoolSculpting. Here’s how it works:

1. Targeted Cooling:
   
   • The procedure uses a device that applies controlled cooling to targeted fat areas.
   • An applicator is placed on the skin over the treatment area, which then suctions the skin and fat into the device's cooling panels.

1. Fat Cell Freezing:
   
   • The cooling panels lower the temperature of the fat cells to a point where they undergo apoptosis (cell death) without damaging the surrounding skin or tissues.
   • The specific temperature used in cryolipolysis is designed to selectively freeze fat cells while sparing other types of cells.

1. Fat Cell Breakdown:
   
   • Once the fat cells are frozen, they crystallize and die.
   • Over time, the body’s natural processes gradually break down and eliminate these dead fat cells

Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce 

localized fat deposits and contour the body. Here's how it works:

1. Ultrasonic Waves:
   
   • The procedure uses a specialized device that emits low-frequency ultrasonic waves.
   • These waves are applied to the skin over the targeted fat areas using a handheld applicator.

1. Formation of Bubbles:
   
   • The ultrasonic waves create microscopic bubbles in the fat tissue through a process called cavitation.
   • These bubbles form and collapse rapidly, causing the fat cells to break apart.

1. Disruption of Fat Cells:
   
   • The energy from the ultrasonic waves disrupts the membranes of the fat cells, causing them to release their stored fatty acids and triglycerides.
   • The fat cells become unstable and eventually break down.

1. Elimination of Fat:
   
   • The body’s lymphatic system processes and eliminates the released fatty acids and triglycerides.
   • The fat is metabolized and excreted naturally over the following weeks through the liver and kidneys.
