What is CoolSculpting®?

CoolS­culpting® – also known as cryoli­po­lysis – is a revolu­tionary medical aesthetic procedure that perma­nently reduces stubborn fat deposits through controlled cooling. The technology is based on the scien­tific finding that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue.

During the treatment, the fat cells are precisely cooled to -11°C, which triggers their crystal­li­sation and subse­quent cell death (apoptosis). In the following weeks, these dead fat cells are naturally trans­ported away via the lymphatic system and excreted by the body – resulting in a visibly slimmer silhouette.

What makes it special is that the surrounding skin layers, muscles and nerves remain unaffected during treatment. CoolS­culpting® is FDA-approved, has been proven millions of times over and is considered one of the safest methods of non-invasive fat reduction.

Unlike diets or exercise, which only reduce the size of fat cells, CoolS­culpting® perma­nently removes the treated fat cells from the body. This leads to long-lasting results with consi­stent weight maintenance.

What is the treatment procedure?

Treatment with CoolS­culpting® is simple and comfortable:

1. Consul­tation

During a detailed consul­tation, we analyse your problem areas and discuss your goals. We create a perso­na­lised treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.

2. Treatment

After applying a protective gel, the CoolS­culpting® appli­cator is placed on the area to be treated. A gentle suction action draws the fat tissue into the cooling chamber. At the beginning, you will feel a cooling sensation, which subsides after about 5-10 minutes as the area becomes slightly numb.

During the appro­xi­m­ately 35-60 minute treatment per zone, you can relax, read, work or even sleep. Most patients describe the treatment as pleasant and stress-free.

3. Aftercare

After the treatment, the tissue is massaged briefly to loosen the crystal­lised fat cells and promote their breakdown.

The treated area may be tempo­r­arily red, swollen or numb – these sensa­tions usually subside within a few days.

You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment. There is no downtime, making CoolS­culpting® an ideal solution for busy people.

Frequently asked questions

CoolS­culpting® is ideal for women and men with stubborn fat deposits that remain despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is not a method for weight loss, but for targeted fat reduction in problem areas. The best candi­dates have a BMI below 30 and localised fat deposits.

Optimal results are achieved when:

  • You are of normal weight or slightly overweight
  • You have localised fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise
  • Your skin has good elasticity
  • You have realistic expectations
  • You are willing to lead a healthy lifestyle

The treatment is not suitable for people with:

  • Cryoglo­bu­li­nemia or cold urticaria
  • Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
  • Raynaud's disease
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Open wounds in the treatment area
  • Severe skin condi­tions in the treatment area
  • Severe obesity (BMI >30)

Yes, CoolS­culpting® can be a good option for reducing stubborn fat deposits after pregnancy, especially if they do not respond to diet and exercise. However, we recommend waiting at least 3-6 months after giving birth and completing breastfeeding.

With CoolS­culpting®, you can reduce up to 25% of fat cells in the treated area. This means that the circum­fe­rence of the treated area will visibly decrease. The exact reduction depends on individual factors such as the initial amount of fat tissue and your metabolism.

The fat cells that have crystal­lised and died as a result of the cold are recog­nised by the body as waste products and are naturally elimi­nated via the lymphatic system over a period of 2-3 months. They are then metabo­lised by the liver and excreted by the body in the normal way.

Yes, the effec­ti­veness of CoolS­culpting® has been proven in numerous clinical studies. A study on the ‘Clinical efficacy of non-invasive cryoli­po­lysis and its effect on peripheral nerves’ (2009) showed a reduction in fat tissue of up to 25%, with results still visible 6 months after treatment. CoolS­culpting® is approved by the US Food and Drug Admini­stration (FDA).

CoolS­culpting® was primarily developed to reduce fat tissue, not speci­fi­cally to treat cellulite. However, some patients report a slight impro­vement in skin appearance and a reduction in cellulite after treatment. However, this is not the main purpose of the procedure and results vary from person to person.

The treatment is generally well tolerated. At the beginning, you will feel an intense cold sensation, slight pulling or pinching due to the suction effect of the appli­cator. After about 5-10 minutes, the area becomes slightly numb and the sensation subsides. Most patients can relax, read or even sleep during the treatment.

The most common temporary side effects include:

  • Redness and swelling in the treated area
  • Numbness for a few days to weeks
  • Mild pain or discomfort
  • Occasional mild bruising
  • In very rare cases, parado­xical adipose hyper­plasia (hardening in the treated area) may occur

These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.

There is virtually no recovery time after CoolS­culpting®. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness, swelling or numbness may persist for a few days, but will not interfere with your daily activities.

Swelling is most prono­unced in the first few days after treatment and usually subsides within 1-2 weeks. The individual severity and duration may vary. However, for most patients, the swelling is mild and does not interfere with daily life.

Yes, you can continue your sporting activities after CoolS­culpting®. We recommend taking it easy on the day of the treatment, but you can resume light exercise the following day. Regular exercise can even help remove the dead fat cells and optimise the results.

You may notice the first changes as early as 3-4 weeks after treatment. However, the full results will be visible after 2-3 months, once the body has elimi­nated most of the dead fat cells. For optimal results, several treat­ments at intervals of 6-8 weeks may be recommended.

The results are permanent, as the treated fat cells are completely removed from the body. Important to know: The remaining fat cells can continue to increase in size if you gain weight. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to maintain the results in the long term.

The number of sessions required depends on your individual goals and the area to be treated. Many patients are satisfied with the results after just one treatment. However, for optimal results, we often recommend 2-3 treat­ments per area at intervals of 6-8 weeks. We will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs during a personal consultation.

A treatment lasts appro­xi­m­ately 35-60 minutes, depending on the area. If several areas are to be treated, the total duration may be longer. However, with our modern CoolS­culpting® devices, we can treat several areas at the same time in some patients, which reduces the overall treatment time.

CoolS­culpting® stands out from other fat reduction techniques thanks to several unique features:
  • Non-invasive: Unlike liposuction, no incisions, anaes­thesia or recovery time are necessary.
  • Scien­ti­fi­cally proven: Cryoli­po­lysis technology was developed at Harvard Medical School and has been proven in numerous clinical studies.
  • Precise contouring: Targeted treatment of specific problem areas for natural-looking results.
  • Long-lasting results: The treated fat cells are perma­nently removed, not just reduced in size.
  • Safety: FDA-approved with over 8 million treat­ments performed worldwide.
  • Comfort: Modern appli­cators ensure a pleasant, pain-free treatment experience.
  • Proven results: Clinical studies show that 90% of patients experience an impro­vement in their body image.
