What is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?

Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia consists of the appearance several months after cryolipolysis of excess adipose tissue, progressively growing over several weeks, in the treated areas.

The origin of this extremely rare and unfortunately irreversible side effect is linked to the use of unsuitable applicators and machines or to treatments carried out by people not trained in this type of intervention. As a reminder, cryolipolysis remains a medical procedure.

Position of the SGL aesthetic firm on paradoxical adipose hyperplasia

I use a Medical Cryolipolysis machine unlike those that beauticians can use. I can thus guarantee the effectiveness and safety of Cryolipolysis within my Clinic.
