Body Contouring

How does it work?
Cryolipolysis uses cold temperature to break down fat cells. The fat cells are particularly susceptible to the effects of cold, unlike other types of cells. While the fat cells freeze, the skin and other structures are spared from injury. This is one of the most popular non-surgical fat reduction treatments.

How many treatments can I have?
The goal of cryolipolysis is to reduce the volume of fat in a fatty bulge. Many people will find that only one Cryolipolysis treatment is required, however Some patients may opt to have more than one area treated or to retreat an area more than once, depending on their personal goals. Everyone is individual so we can discuss the best personal treatment plan for you.
