Frequently asked questions about fat freezing

Is cryolipolysis right for me?

The treatment is suitable for both men and women. The ideal candidate is someone with a good physical condition but with local fat deposits on, for example, chin, upper arms, abdomen, back, bra bulges, fat deposits in thighs and flanks and other isolated fat zones. Cryolipolysis is not a substitute for losing weight. It is a treatment to get rid of locally stubborn fat, where a diet or body exercises do not work. The treatment is an alternative to liposuction and has the advantage that it is not an operation, so you do not need time to recover.

What does a cryolipolysis treatment cost?

This depends on what area you would like to address, what your ultimate goal is and the number of treatments needed. Together with the skin therapist, a tailor-made treatment plan is made, which is exactly tailored to your body.

Where does frozen fat go? Is the result permanent?

The fat cells become crystallized by freezing, die off and are then drained by the body and do not come back. This ensures that the result is permanent.

Are there any side effects?

When will I see the result?
