A choice of 2, 4, 6 or 8 applicators is available for each treatment.  

Cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as fat freezing, is a nonsurgical fat reduction procedure that uses cold temperature to reduce fat deposits in certain areas of the body. The procedure is designed to reduce localized fat deposits or bulges that do not respond to diet and exercise. 

A handheld device called an applicator is used to freeze the layer of fat cells (adipocytes) underneath the skin. First, a gel pad is applied to the area to protect the skin. Next, the fatty bulge is suctioned or vacuumed into the applicator’s hallow opening. You will feel a tugging or pulling sensation as suction is applied. These sensations, intense cold plus other possible sensations – tingling, stinging, aching, cramping – lessen after 5 to 10 minutes as the area becomes numb during the cooling down process. The fat layer is gradually cooled to the target temperature of between 30.2 and 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit.

It takes up to one hour to treat an area. After the area is treated, the applicator is removed. The area may be massaged for 2 to 3 minutes to assist with the breakdown of the fat cells.

Weight, measurements and photos can be taken at the start of the treatment in order to track the progress of the treatment. This is of course optional.

A full aftercare plan will be provided on completion of the first treatment. Aftercare must be followed to achieve the best result. Full results will take 12-16 weeks to fully progress. 2-6 sessions are usually recommended, depending on the size of the fat pocket. However, you may begin to notice changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment. Dramatic improvement is noticed after about 2 months.

Studies have shown an average fat reduction of between 20-40% percent at around 4 months after initial treatment.
