Cryolipolysis — LipoCryo Fat Freezing

Type

Fat Reduction

Duration

1 hour

What's included

4 deliverables in this treatment

  • Pre-treatment assessment of target areas and LipoCryo applicator fitting
  • LipoCryo cryolipolysis session for 1–3 areas
  • Post-treatment massage to aid fat clearance
  • Interval scheduling for subsequent sessions if required

ILK's LipoCryo cryolipolysis system selectively freezes subcutaneous fat cells without damaging overlying skin or muscle. Fat cells (adipocytes) are uniquely vulnerable to cold at temperatures that skin tolerates safely — the LipoCryo applicator holds the tissue between cooling panels at a controlled sub-zero temperature, triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the fat layer. The body then clears the dead adipocytes through its lymphatic system over 2–4 weeks. A single treatment reduces localised fat by over 20%; up to 3 sessions per area (40-day minimum intervals) can achieve up to 50% reduction. Suitable for abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, back, and upper arms in patients with up to 10 kg excess weight.

About this treatment

Cryolipolysis with the LipoCryo system at ILK works by exploiting a fundamental biological difference between adipocytes (fat cells) and the overlying skin and muscle: fat cells crystallise and undergo irreversible apoptosis at temperatures that the skin can tolerate without damage. The LipoCryo applicator draws the targeted tissue fold between two cooling panels using gentle vacuum, ensuring full contact across the treatment zone. It then holds the…

Good to know

System
LipoCryo applicator — controlled vacuum cooling
Fat reduction per session
20%+ from a single application
Maximum sessions per area
3 × (40-day minimum intervals)
Best candidates
Up to 10 kg excess weight; localised resistant fat

Who is this for?

Adults with localised stubborn fat on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or back who want non-invasive, no-surgery fat layer reduction with no recovery time — best suited to contouring rather than large-volume weight loss.

Preparation required

No specific preparation required. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Avoid heavy physical activity immediately post-session. Stay hydrated to support lymphatic clearance of dead fat cells.
