It targets and reduces stubborn fat cells in specific areas, providing noticeable and lasting results as the body naturally processes and eliminates these cells.
Cryolipolysis Fat Reduction Treatment
Cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as fat freezing, is a non-invasive fat reduction technique that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells that are resistant to diet and exercise.
This method targets and cools fat cells to a temperature that causes their natural death while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. Over time, the treated fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated by the body, resulting in a reduction of fat layers.
What Is Cryolipolysis Fat Reduction Treatment?
This treatment represents a non-surgical fat reduction technology that uses controlled cooling to reduce fat layers in targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and under the chin. It is intended to support body contouring and shaping goals. The device used is designed for safety and comfort, featuring sensors that monitor the skin’s temperature to minimize the risk of frostbite or other complications.
Indications for Cryolipolysis Fat Reduction Treatment
Cryolipolysis is specifically indicated for people looking to reduce localised fat deposits that are difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Here are some of the primary indications for this treatment:
- Abdomen and Love Handles
Reduces fat around the stomach and flanks for a flatter, more contoured silhouette. - Thighs
Slims down inner and outer thighs, enhancing overall leg shape. - Chin and Neck
Reduces submental fat, commonly known as a double chin, improving facial aesthetics. - Back and Bra Area
Addresses fat bulges around the bra line and lower back for a smoother profile. - Upper Arms
Targets and reduces upper arm fat, providing a more toned appearance. - Male Chest
Reduces excess fat in the chest area, minimising the appearance of enlarged male breasts.
The Procedure of Cryolipolysis
The cryolipolysis procedure using non-invasive fat reduction technology is a straightforward process designed to be as comfortable and efficient as possible. Here’s how it typically unfolds:
Benefits of Cryolipolysis Fat Reduction Treatment
Cryolipolysis offers several advantages as a fat reduction method, particularly appealing to those seeking non-invasive alternatives to surgical procedures. Here are some of the key benefits:
Effective Fat Reduction
Gradual, Natural-looking Results
Since the fat cells are processed and eliminated by the body over time, the results develop gradually over several weeks to months, creating a more natural transition and less abrupt change to one’s appearance.

Downtime Expectations For Cryolipolysis Fat Reduction Treatment
Patients should anticipate mild, short-lived effects:
- Temporary Redness, Swelling, and Bruising: These mild side effects are the most common, often resolving within a few weeks. The treated area may also feel firm or tender to the touch.
- Skin Sensitivity: Post-treatment, patients may experience heightened sensitivity or reduced sensation in the treated area. These sensations usually return to normal over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it recommended to combine other treatments with cryolipolysis for enhanced fat reduction?
For enhanced fat reduction, cavitation therapies that aid in fat cell disruption can be effectively combined with cryolipolysis. Additionally, for improved skin tightening and a more sculpted appearance, it is highly recommended to combine cryolipolysis with radiofrequency-based skin tightening treatments. This comprehensive approach addresses both fat reduction and skin laxity, helping to achieve more optimal results.
Is cryolipolysis a solution for weight loss?
No, cryolipolysis is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is a fat reduction treatment best suited for removing localised areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Can cryolipolysis help tighten skin?
Cryolipolysis is primarily designed to reduce fat layers. It does not tighten the skin. Patients with significant skin laxity might not see a tightening effect and may need to consider alternative treatments, like Thermage, for skin tightening.
Are the results of cryolipolysis permanent?
The fat cells eliminated by cryolipolysis do not regenerate; however, the remaining fat cells can enlarge if weight is gained. It’s important to maintain a stable weight to keep new fat from accumulating.
How many cryolipolysis sessions are needed for visible results?
The number of sessions required can vary depending on the person’s body type, the area being treated, and the desired outcome.
