Cryolipolysis, commonly known as “fat freezing,” is a non-invasive procedure that can significantly reduce localized fat deposits by freezing and breaking down fat cells. Numerous studies and real-world experiences have shown that cryolipolysis is highly effective at reducing fat in targeted areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and arms.
This breakthrough treatment works by using controlled cooling technology to target and destroy fat cells without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues. Over the following weeks and months, the body will naturally eliminate the treated fat cells, resulting in gradual fat reduction in the targeted area.
Our experienced professionals use the latest cryolipolysis technology to help you achieve your body contouring goals safely and comfortably. During your consultation, we will assess your unique needs and recommend a personalized treatment schedule to ensure you achieve your dream results.
Body contouring and fat freezing are related treatments. More specifically, body contouring is a broad term that includes various non-invasive and surgical procedures designed to reshape and sculpt the body. CoolSculpting, for example, is a specific body contouring treatment that utilizes fat freezing technology known as cryolipolysis.
CoolSculpting is a popular and effective fat freezing procedure that targets and reduces localized fat deposits using controlled cooling technology. During the treatment, fat cells are exposed to cold temperatures, causing them to crystallize and eventually die off. While CoolSculpting is a powerful fat freezing method, it’s just one of many body contouring options. Other body sculpting techniques include radiofrequency, ultrasound, and laser therapies, each with unique benefits and applications. Our expert team will work with you to tailor a treatment approach that suits your unique health needs and physique goals.
Absolutely, cryolipolysis is a highly effective method of permanently removing fat cells from targeted areas. When undergoing the treatment, your fat cells are exposed to controlled cooling technology. This triggers a process known as apoptosis without harming surrounding tissues. Apoptosis is also referred to as cell death, meaning cryolipolysis eliminates unwanted fat cells.
Once the fat cells are destroyed, the body’s natural lymphatic system gradually eliminates them in the weeks to come. As a result, the treated fat cells are permanently removed from the body, leading to long-lasting fat reduction in the treated area. It’s encouraged to keep in mind that while cryolipolysis permanently removes fat cells from the targeted area, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to prevent the remaining fat cells from spreading. A balanced diet and regular exercise are highly recommended to ensure lasting results.

Most people experience a noticeable fat reduction after just one to two sessions of cryolipolysis. However, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results in certain cases. During your initial consultation at Assure Wellness, our experienced professionals will assess your unique needs and desired outcomes. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment schedule will be designed. Some people will be satisfied with a single session, while others can benefit from two or more treatments spaced several weeks apart.
