Cryolipolysis
Non-invasive fat reduction using controlled cooling technology. Learn about cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) and how it can help you achieve your body contouring goals.
How Cryolipolysis Works
Cryolipolysis uses controlled cooling technology to selectively freeze and destroy fat cells without damaging surrounding skin, muscle, or other tissues. The process is based on the principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other cell types.
Once fat cells are destroyed, they are naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system over several weeks to months, resulting in permanent fat reduction in the treated area.
