Cosmex is able to offer you two competing treatments Coolsculpt for fat freezing and Stratum Reveal that uses infrared light to breakdown the fat while the skin is cooled.  Both are effective treatments and each has their unique advantages.  We will be happy to discuss these with you during your consultation.

In both cases the fat cells are broken down without damage to surrounding tissue because fat cells are more vulnerable.  The cell material is then digested by the body’s immune system and expelled from the body.  While teh fats contained within the cells is released into the surrounding space.  Over the next 6-8 weeks this is also removed from the treated area, thereby improving the patient’s shape and reducing the ablity of fat to accumulate in this area in the future.  However, contrary to  what many salespeople might tell you the fat is not removed from the body.  It enters the blood stream slowly and is used for energy if you are dieting or exercising.   If not it will be redeposited elsewhere in the body but not in the treated volume as those fat cells have been destroyed.

A further integral part of both weight management and body contouring is ongoing monitoring of your body composition.  It is vital that you the patient are aware of the effects diet and treatments are having on your body and the Inbody Body Composition machine gives excellent insight.  It shows what is working and what is not.
