Cryo Lipo
Fat Freezing

Fat freezing, also called cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy stubborn fat cells. When fat cells are exposed to low temperatures, they crystallize and die. Over the next several weeks, your lymphatic system naturally removes these damaged cells. The result: smoother contours and a visible reduction in fat in the treated area. Unlike weight loss, which shrinks fat cells, fat freezing permanently eliminates them.

Yes — fat freezing permanently removes the fat cells that are treated. Once those cells crystallize and are flushed out of the body, they do not return. However, the remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain, so maintaining a consistent lifestyle will help preserve results. Most clients enjoy long-lasting contour changes for years.

You’ll notice early changes as soon as 3–4 weeks, with full results appearing around 8–12 weeks after your session. The body continues flushing crystallized fat for several months, so improvements happen gradually. Many clients continue to see refinement up to 16 weeks post-treatment.

Most people describe fat freezing as cold, then numb — not painful. You may feel deep cooling, tingling, or pressure during the first few minutes, but once the area numbs, the treatment becomes very comfortable. Afterward you may experience mild swelling, temporary numbness, or tenderness, all of which fade naturally.

Many clients achieve noticeable results in just one session, especially in smaller areas. For larger or more stubborn zones (like lower abdomen or flanks), 2–3 sessions spaced several weeks apart can deliver dramatic improvement. Your technician will create a personalized plan based on your goals and your body’s response.

Fat freezing can be used on most small and medium pockets of stubborn fat, including:

• Lower belly • Upper abdomen • Love handles (flanks) • Back bra line • Inner and outer thighs • Upper arms • Under chin (submental area) • Lower back muffin top • “Banana roll” under the glutes

If an area can be pinched, it can usually be treated.

Yes. Cryolipolysis (Cryo Lipo) is FDA-cleared, widely studied, and used worldwide with a strong safety profile. Unlike surgical procedures such as liposuction, fat freezing involves no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime. Side effects are mild and temporary, usually limited to swelling, numbness, or redness in the treated area.

Fat freezing is ideal for people who: • Have stubborn pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise • Are close to their goal weight but want better contour or definition • Prefer non-surgical, zero-downtime treatments • Want targeted sculpting without needles or anesthesia

Cryo Lipo Fat freezing is not a weight-loss treatment or a solution for visceral fat.

Side effects are typically mild and temporary. You may experience:

• Numbness • Tingling • Mild swelling • Temporary firmness in the area • Redness

Most clients go right back to their day — no limitations or recovery period.

The area may feel firm or numb for a few days, which is completely normal. Some clients experience slight tingling as the nerves “wake up” again. There’s no need for downtime, and these sensations fade naturally.

Yes — fat freezing can help smooth and reduce residual belly fat after postpartum changes or weight fluctuation. If skin laxity is also present, pairing CryoSculpt™ with RF skin tightening gives the best aesthetic outcome.

Results are long-lasting because the treated fat cells are permanently removed. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy routines helps ensure your newly sculpted shape stays consistent.

Weight loss shrinks fat cells — but doesn’t change their number. Cryo Lipo actually reduces the number of fat cells in the treated area. This creates more lasting contour changes and prevents the same bulge from “filling back up” as easily.

For most clients, yes. Fat freezing delivers visible, natural-looking fat reduction with no surgery, no anesthesia, and no downtime. It’s especially loved by people who feel they’ve “done everything right” but still have stubborn areas that won’t budge.
