What it is
Some pockets of fat do not shift despite a balanced diet and regular exercise. They are often on the abdomen, the flanks, the thighs or under the chin. It is these localised areas, in someone whose weight is stable, that cryolipolysis is for.
Why it happens
- A distribution of fat largely set by genetics
- Hormonal change, which steers where fat is stored
- Age, which alters how fat mass is distributed
- A prolonged sedentary lifestyle
What we can offer
What aesthetic medicine cannot do
Cryolipolysis is not a treatment for obesity or a weight-loss method. It is for people whose weight is stable, with a localised pocket that can be pinched. It does not treat cellulite or loose skin, and regaining weight brings the volume back.
Frequently asked questions
How many sessions are needed?
One to two sessions per area, at least 8 weeks apart. The number depends on how thick the pocket is.
When is the result visible?
The cells are cleared gradually. The result is usually judged 3 months after the session.
Will I lose weight?
No. Cryolipolysis reduces a localised pocket, it does not cause weight loss. Your weight should be stable before treating.
