Frequently asked questions
How does it start?
It starts with a consultation by our clinicians. They sit down with each client individually to discuss and asses their medical history and then recommend a lab test to be carried-out. Once the results are obtained, they will customize the treatment plan to achieve your desired goals.
Am I an ideal candidate?
Ideal candidates for cryolipolysis only have little-unwanted fat in areas like upper thighs, love handles or lower belly. CoolShaping clients ideally look for mild improvements and are not obese, as dense fat cannot be treated successfully with cryolipolysis. The fat should be “pinchable”, which means that the fat is located under the skin and as such can fit into the applicator cup. Cryolipolysis is not designed for major fat removal; in these cases, liposuction may be a more viable option.
What does it feel like?
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you typically feel intense cold. This soon dissipates. With the applicator, you’ll feel some pulling as vacuum is applied. The area generally goes numb within 5 to 10 minutes during treatment. Many people read, watch videos, work on their mobile, or even take a nap during their treatment. After the treatment, you may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for 2 or 3 minutes. Clients are usually able to return to normal activities following the treatment.
What results can you expect?
Results are visible after 2 to 4 months, with a gradual reduction of the fat layer. Fat cells will be processed by your body for approximately 4 months after the procedure.
Is the procedure safe?
As the #1 non-invasive fat reduction procedure and with millions of cryo- lipolysis procedures performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment.
