For midface augmentations, we are using Cannulas as this is a safe way to inject fillers into deeper layer of the face.

To increase Volume in the midface we use dermal filler of the  Juvederm range, Voluma, Volift or Volbella.  

Treatment examples: Fat freezing
Abdomen

The ideal candidate for fat freezing is NOT overweight and has no loose skin. She/He should have a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly. Small fat pockets who dont seem to respond to exercise (love handles) are an ideal target for cryolipolysis. 

The difference between Fat Dissolving and Fat Freezing Treatments.

Fat Freezing and Fat Dissolving: the clue is in the name… 

Freezing means applying very low temperatures via an applicator to the skin to freeze the subcutaneous fatty tissue. That is a long process; the results are usually seen after several weeks or even months. Fat cells do not tolerate low temperatures well and will die (=apoptosis).

But there are more ways to kill fat cells… injecting fat-dissolving solutions.

The best-known Solution is Aqualyx, developed by Prof Motolese, is commercially available since 2009. It is made of plant-based deoxycholic acid (synthetically produced) and formulated to dissolve stubborn areas of fat that won’t go regardless of the diet or exercise routine.

When the target area is injected with Aqualyx, it binds to the fatty cells and breaks down the membranes of the fat cells. This leads to an inflammatory response in that location; this response moves the broken-down fat cells to the lymphatic system to be flushed out of the body safely and naturally within 1 – 3 months of the treatment. Some results can be seen after a single treatment, with the best outcome after a course of treatments. 

For best results, the amount of treatment sessions highly depends on the chosen area, the fat/fatty tissue removed, and how well your body responds. The sessions vary from 2 to 5, with an average interval of 3 weeks apart.

WHAT IS FAT FREEZING, also known as Cryolipolysis? 

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive procedure for the reduction of fat that uses a controlled cooling process to destroy the fat tissues and reduce their volume. This is an effective treatment but is not an alternative to Liposuction treatment. 

Cryolipolysis uses revolutionary and advanced cooling technology called ‘Cryo Lipo’ that targets and carefully freezes fat cells underneath your skin (this process is called lipolysis).
Fat Freezing / Cryolipolysis is suitable for larger areas. But these areas can also be treated with Fat-dissolving injections.

Although rare, there are some risks affiliated with Fat Freezing: 

Very rarely, Freeze Burn can appear, and there was the case of Linda Evangelista, who developed “Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia”.

At Cornwall Aesthetics, we have chosen to stop using Fat-Freezing and only offer Fat Dissolving Injections with Aqualyx or Cincellar + 
Especially for body contouring in medium to smaller patients, this treatment has proven to be very effective.
