Cryolipolysis, also known as Fat Freezing (brand name: CoolSculpting), is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate unwanted fat cells. It’s ideal for areas like the abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, back, and chin, where fat can be hard to lose through diet and exercise alone.
A specialist reviews your medical history and customizes a treatment plan tailored to your body goals and target areas.
The cooling applicator is applied to the chosen area (e.g., belly, arms, chin), pulling the fat tissue into the device using suction.
Fat cells are cooled to a precise temperature, causing them to crystallize and undergo natural cell death without harming surrounding tissues.
A brief massage is performed to break down frozen fat cells, helping the body flush them out more effectively.
Over the next 6–12 weeks , the lymphatic system eliminates the destroyed fat cells, revealing a slimmer contour.
