Cryo (Cryolipolysis)

Controlled cooling technology for stubborn, localized fat

What Is Cryo (Cryolipolysis)?

Cryo (cryolipolysis) works by applying precisely controlled cold temperatures to a targeted area. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue, so the treatment is designed to affect fat cells in the treated zone while the skin above remains protected.

Over the weeks following treatment, the body's natural processes gradually clear the affected fat cells — a gradual, non-surgical route to a more contoured appearance in stubborn areas.

Results Over Time

What to Expect, Session by Session

Every body responds differently — this is a general guide, not a guarantee. Your specialist will set realistic expectations at your consultation.

1

The First Few Weeks

The body begins gradually processing the affected fat cells — visible change is usually not immediate.

2

Weeks 4–8

This is typically when clients start noticing a more contoured appearance in the treated area.

3

Full Result

Final results are generally assessed around 8–12 weeks after treatment, once the body has fully processed the treated cells.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

There's an initial cold sensation that most clients say fades within minutes as the area becomes slightly numb.

How many sessions do I need?

This depends on the treatment area and your goals — your specialist will recommend a plan during your consultation.

When will I see results?

Results build gradually over the following weeks as your body processes the treated fat cells.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, it's often paired with RF or lymphatic drainage as part of a broader body program.

Who is a good candidate?

Best suited to clients with specific, localized areas of stubborn fat. Your specialist will confirm suitability at your consultation.

Can cryo be done on multiple areas in one visit?

Depending on your goals, your specialist may treat more than one area, though this is planned individually during your consultation.

Is cryo permanent?

The specific fat cells processed by the treatment don't return, but overall long-term results depend on maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Will I feel very cold during the session?

There's an initial cold sensation, but the treated area typically becomes numb within minutes, and most clients find the rest of the session comfortable.

How does cryo compare to cavitation?

Both target localized fat non-surgically, but through different mechanisms — cold versus ultrasound. Your specialist can help you decide which suits your area and goals better.
