Cryolipolysis
Localised fat on the abdomen, stubborn fat around the hips that doesn’t respond to diet, and thighs that don’t respond to exercise.
Localised fat deposits have one distinct characteristic: they do not depend on overall fitness, but on an individual predisposition that makes them resistant to diet and exercise. Cryolipolysis with CoolShaping2 is the answer: a non-invasive medical technology that eliminates fat cells using controlled cooling, with no needles, no anaesthesia and no need for recovery time. The body gradually reshapes itself, with visible and long-lasting results.
What is cryolipolysis and how does it work?
Cryolipolysis is a body contouring technology based on a specific biological principle: fat cells are significantly more sensitive to cold than other tissues. By subjecting them to a controlled, sustained temperature, a process of apoptosis – programmed cell death – is triggered, leading to their gradual, natural elimination via the lymphatic system in the weeks following treatment.
The surrounding skin tissue is not damaged: the cooling is selective and calibrated to act exclusively on the adipose tissue. The result is a measurable and permanent reduction in fat thickness in the treated areas, with no scarring, no anaesthesia and no recovery time required.
Areas that can be treated with cryolipolysis
Abdomen
The abdomen is the area most commonly treated with cryolipolysis. Abdominal fat – both above and below the navel – responds very well to controlled cooling, with measurable reductions in circumference from as early as the first few weeks following the treatment.
Hips and love handles
Fat deposits on the hips are among the most resistant to diet and exercise. Cryolipolysis acts selectively on these areas, gradually reducing their volume and redefining the body’s side profile.
Inner and outer thighs
The thighs – both the inner and outer thighs – are areas where women typically tend to accumulate fat, and these are difficult to treat using natural methods alone. CoolShaping 2, thanks to its ability to treat multiple areas simultaneously, allows both areas to be treated in the same session.
Upper arms
Localised fat on the upper arms is one of the aesthetic concerns that most limits clothing choices. Cryolipolysis offers an effective non-surgical solution, with gradual and natural results.
Chin
Cryolipolysis for the chin is indicated for a double chin caused by fat accumulation. It reduces the volume of submental fat, refining the facial profile without the need for surgery.
Cryolipolysis: before and after – visible, progressive results
The process of eliminating fat cells via the lymphatic system takes time. The first improvements become visible 2–3 weeks after the treatment, with further improvements continuing to develop over the following 1–2 months, as the body naturally breaks down the cells treated with cryolipolysis.
The end result is a measurable and permanent reduction in fat thickness in the treated areas: the fat cells that are removed do not reform. Maintaining a balanced lifestyle after treatment is essential for sustaining the results over time and preventing the expansion of any remaining fat cells.
Personalised body-sculpting programme: how many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions required varies from 1 to 3 per treated area, depending on the thickness of the adipose tissue and the patient’s goals. Many patients achieve satisfactory results after just the first session; in areas with more pronounced fat deposits, or for those wishing for a more significant reduction, the treatment programme includes additional sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
The personalised body contouring programme we offer begins with a thorough medical assessment: Dr Garavaglia analyses the areas to be treated, assesses the thickness of the adipose tissue and determines the optimal number of sessions required to achieve the desired results. Cryolipolysis can be combined with other body treatments – such as Accent Prime or Morpheus 8 Burst – to provide a more comprehensive combined body contouring programme, which simultaneously targets localised fat, skin laxity and cellulite.

Why choose Studio Garavaglia?
Cryolipolysis is a medical treatment, not a cosmetic service. It requires a precise clinical assessment of the areas to be treated, the selection of the correct parameters and technology certified for medical use. The machine we use is CoolShaping 2, one of the most advanced cryolipolysis platforms currently available. A technology designed for medical use, with controlled parameters to ensure safety and maximum precision.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about cryolipolysis
Is cryolipolysis safe?
Does cryolipolysis help you lose weight?
No, it is not a treatment for general weight loss. It targets localised fat deposits in specific areas, reducing their volume with precision. It is not a substitute for a balanced diet or physical activity, but complements their effects by eliminating stubborn fat that does not respond to natural methods alone.
