[quote]I don't personally have the CoolLipo but I do know how you can achieve the tightening effect using the device. This is your last step after the lipolysis and liposuction steps.
In general, you need to get the patient's baseline skin surface temperature. Then aim to raise it by 5 Celsius to about the 39-45 range and keep that temp constant for 2-3 minutes. Work a portion at a time then move to the next area. For example, let's say the neck. After the lipolysis and liposuction (if needed), there is much loose skin there. Let's say you portion the treated neck into 2 or 3 parts vertically speaking depending on how big the neck is (right & left or right, middle and left) ( not horizontal since your tightening treating motion would be up and down in a constant N shape pattern)
When you are ready, place the fiber against the skin's underside and start rubbing or stroking against it in a constant and steady N pattern back and forth. For safety reason, have someone keep the infrared temp thermometer to tell you of the 5 C rise then make sure it stays there for 2-3 minutes. CAUTION: do not go over 45C (can lead to tissue necrosis). I might simply dial down the power as soon s it gets to 43C just in case there is a time lag in temp reading. The surface temp range reflects about a 59-65C of the subdermal collagen denaturation range. Also be careful of older or Fitz I people with thinner skin and areas of bony and shallow nature. Good Luck.[/quote]
