Overview

CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that permanently destroys fat cells by controlled cooling. It is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, chin, and upper arms.

Results develop gradually over 2-3 months as the body naturally eliminates the crystallised fat cells, achieving up to 25% fat reduction per treatment area.

How It Works

Body Assessment

Your practitioner identifies treatable areas and develops a customised treatment plan. Before photographs are taken.

Application
