CRYO SCULPT
What is the Cryolipolysis / Cryo Sculpt / Cool Sculpting?
Cryolipolysis, also known as Cool Sculpting, is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that utilizes cryolipolysis technology to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. This method targets specific areas of the body by exposing fat cells to controlled cooling, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body over time.
With Cryolipolysis, you can achieve a more contoured and sculpted body without surgery or downtime!
How Does Cryolipolysis Work?
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells. The process, known as cryolipolysis, works by freezing fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Over time, the frozen fat cells break down and are naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
Key Steps in Cryolipolysis Treatment:
- Application of Cooling Panels – A specialized applicator is placed on the targeted area, delivering precise cooling to fat deposits.
- Freezing of Fat Cells – The fat cells crystallize and undergo apoptosis (cell death) while leaving skin and muscle tissues unharmed.
- Gradual Fat Reduction – The body naturally processes and removes the dead fat cells over weeks to months, resulting in a more sculpted appearance.
At Fitacare Clinic, Cryolipolysis is offered as a safe and effective alternative to surgical fat reduction, requiring no downtime or recovery. Results become noticeable within a few weeks, with optimal outcomes appearing after a few months.
Cryolipolysis Procedure
- Consultation & Assessment – A specialist evaluates your body type and treatment goals to determine the best areas for fat reduction.
- Preparation & Application – A cooling gel pad is applied to protect the skin, followed by the placement of a Cryolipolysis applicator on the target area.
- Cooling & Fat Freezing – The device delivers controlled cooling, freezing fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
- Massage & Recovery – After the session, the treated area is massaged to enhance circulation and break down frozen fat cells.
- Gradual Fat Reduction – Over the following weeks, the body naturally processes and removes dead fat cells, leading to a more contoured shape.
Each session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately. Optimal results are usually seen within 2 to 3 months.

Things to know about Cryolipolysis
Who is Cryolipolysis Not Suitable For?
Cryolipolysis isn't suitable for individuals with extreme skin laxity or sagging skin, such as those who have experienced rapid weight loss, as it doesn’t address loose skin. It is also not recommended for people with cold-related conditions like Raynaud’s disease, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Many patients see noticeable results after one session, but multiple sessions may be required for optimal fat reduction.
Does this method have any side effects?
Cryolipolysis is generally safe, but some may experience mild redness, numbness, or tingling in the treated area, which resolves within a few days.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, treated fat cells are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining results depends on a healthy diet and regular exercise.
How does Cryolipolysis (Cryo Sculpt) compare to liposuction?
Unlike liposuction, Cryolipolysis is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has no recovery time. It is ideal for mild to moderate fat reduction.
