Summary
Three-dimensional cryolipolysis effectively reduces localized fat in the neck. This noninvasive technique demonstrated significant fat reduction and a tightening effect, with no serious adverse reactions observed in patients.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic medicine
- Dermatology
- Plastic surgery
Background:
- Neck areas present unique challenges for localized fat reduction.
- Noninvasive fat reduction methods are increasingly sought after.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional cryolipolysis for localized fat reduction in median and lateral neck areas.
- To assess patient satisfaction and objective outcomes following the procedure.
Main Methods:
- Prospective study involving 39 patients treated with one session of 3D cryolipolysis on neck areas.
- Outcomes assessed via caliper measurements, patient surveys, and blinded photographic evaluation by plastic surgeons.
- Follow-up conducted at 3 months post-treatment, including a 3-minute massage of treated areas.
Main Results:
- Significant reduction in treated neck areas observed at 3 months.
- 82.05% of patients reported exceptional or very improved fat reduction results.
- An additional skin tightening effect was noted by patients and surgeons in improved cases.
Conclusions:
- Three-dimensional cryolipolysis is a safe and effective noninvasive method for localized fat reduction in the neck.
- The procedure offers a notable tightening effect as a secondary benefit.
- Further research could explore long-term effects and optimal treatment parameters.
