1. What is cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique that destroys fat cells (adipocytes) through controlled cooling between –10 °C and –13 °C. Crystallised cells are then removed naturally by the body over a few weeks, resulting in a targeted reduction of fatty tissue without surgery or anesthesia.

Julie, 29 – Abdomen
4 cm round in 6 weeks. I combined cryolipolysis with a sports discount; zero pain, just a slight numbness.

Karim, 41 – Love handles
One session was enough to smooth the area. I had bruises for 10 days, but the result was clear after 2 months.

Elisa, 35 – Horse riding briefs
More progressive result (-2 cm). I recommend to massage the area well after the session to optimize the effects.

7. Tips to optimize your results

  • Choose a qualified practitioner using a recognized device (e.g. Cryo Evo 3D Ultimate).

  • Massage the area 5 minutes after the session to improve the elimination of adipocytes.
  • Respect 6-8 weeks between sessions on the same area.
