How does it work?

Cryolipolysis works by freezing the fat cells in the target area of your body. This then causes the fat cells to die over time, resulting in the desired slimmer appearance.

For this procedure, there is no sedation necessary. This means the patient will be completely conscious and not under any anaesthesia at all, making the recovery time very quick, if any time at all.

The aesthetician will then use a handheld device on the targeted areas which will then cool the skin gradually. The temperature will get to 0℃, enough to freeze the fat cells, eventually destroying them.

How many sessions does cryolipolysis take?

One of the great things about cryolipolysis treatment is that it only takes a few sessions to achieve the desired results. Each person is different, it may only take one session for some and 3 sessions for someone else, it all depends on how your body responds. With that being said, the average person only needs one session for one area, and more sessions for additional areas.

This means in the large majority of cases, most people only need 1-3 sessions maximum to see the results they want! Which isn’t anywhere near as time consuming as other fat removal methods.

However, it does take between one and three months for you to see visible results due to the time it takes fat cells to die. In some cases it may take 5-6 months after treatment to see the full effects, but it will be well worth it.

What are the common treatment areas?

The most commonly treated areas for cryolipolysis are the chin, hips, and abdomen. This treatment is only for stubborn body fat that won’t shift even after exercise and dietary changes, not those with obesity. So if you have a particular area of your body (such as the chin) where the fat refuses to go, you may be a great candidate for cryolipolysis treatment.
