Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis, often called fat freezing, is a non-invasive body-contouring technology that uses cold temperatures to reduce visible fat bulges without incisions. It is for contouring, not weight loss.

§ The read
More than
a menu item.
Cryolipolysis is for pockets. A targeted area of pinchable fat is cooled through an applicator so fat cells can be affected while the skin surface is protected by the device protocol.
The change is gradual because the body clears affected fat cells over time. The best candidates are close to their stable baseline and want contour refinement in a specific area.

§ FAQ
The small
print, clearly.
- 01
Is cryolipolysis the same as losing weight?
No. It is a contouring treatment for selected fat bulges and does not replace nutrition, exercise, or medical weight management.
- 02
When do results appear?
Results are gradual. Many people evaluate visible change over several weeks to a few months.
- 03
What is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia?
It is a rare complication where the treated fat area becomes enlarged and firm instead of smaller. It should be part of informed consent.
- 04
Can it treat loose skin?
No. If skin laxity is the main concern, a different treatment category may be more appropriate.
- 05
How do I know if this is the right service?
The safest answer comes from a consultation. Your skin, medical history, goals, medications, prior treatments, and tolerance for downtime all change what is appropriate.
