Singapore, July 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SINGAPORE, July 2022 — Advancement in technology has led to the development of many fat reduction treatment options and modalities. Non-invasive treatments, in particular, have become the preferred choice as they are affordable and come with minimal downtime, among others.
One of the most popular and readily available is fat freezing or Cryolipolysis, which operates on the basis that adipocytes, compared to other skin cells, are more susceptible to cooling. An applicator is used on the targeted areas to initiate the apoptosis of the adipocytes, which leads to the digestion of dead cells by the surrounding macrophages. The variety of the applicator’s head can be used to suit the needs. Before the treated fat cells are completely digested, an inflammatory process is triggered, and over the course of a few weeks, the adipocyte volume decreases as the inflammation subsides. Two to three months post-treatment, the fat volume in the treated area gradually reduces.
Liposuction, the gold standard for body contouring, has been facing stiff competition due to the rise of non-invasive treatments in the last ten years. In recent years, however, Dr Ivan Puah has seen a dramatic rise in the number of patients who have tried non-invasive fat reduction treatments turning to liposuction, largely due to unsatisfactory results. Data collected by Amaris B. Clinic, where Dr Ivan Puah practises, showed that eight in ten patients…
