Lipo Freeze
A cold-assisted therapy (cryolipolysis) that freezes and permanently destroys stubborn fat cells, no knife required.
What is Lipo Freeze?
Pioneered by a Harvard scientist and FDA-cleared, Lipo Freeze targets the 'muffin top,' love handles, excess thigh mass and the stubborn double chin. Fat is more sensitive to cold than surrounding muscle and tissue, so it can be targeted safely.
How it works
- Controlled cooling crystallizes the targeted fat cells
- Around 7 days later the cells begin to change shape
- Roughly 14 days in, apoptosis (cell death) occurs
- Your body clears the dead cells gradually through normal metabolism, permanently
What to expect
After a free consultation to confirm you're a candidate, you'll arrive in comfortable clothing. A gel pad protects your skin while the applicator draws the area into cooling panels. You'll feel cold and light tugging that fades as the area numbs, then relax, nap or catch up on email.
Treatable areas
Upper & lower abdomen, muffin top, love handles, flanks, upper arms, inner & outer thighs, hips, male chest, buttocks, back/bra rolls, banana rolls and under the chin.
Is it comfortable?
Most people find Lipo Freeze easy to tolerate. The cold and tugging you feel at the start fade quickly once the area numbs, and you can relax through the session. In studies, participants typically rated discomfort around a 4 out of 10, so there's no anesthesia and no recovery to plan around.
Aftercare
There's no real downtime, so you can return to your day right away. No special diet is required, but some people choose to ease back on dairy and gluten for about 30 days to help limit inflammation while the body clears the treated fat cells. Staying hydrated and keeping up your normal activity supports that natural process.
