At Skin City, we haven’t stopped at providing just world class skin, hair and cosmetic services, but we are also offering body shaping services.
- Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis:
What is cryolipolysis?
• Cryo = cold, lipo = fat, lysis = breakdown. It literally means fat breakdown through cold.
• Fat cells are sensitive to low temperatures and get destroyed by apoptosis process after being exposed to cold probe of the machine.
• The device safely targets the fat layer without affecting the overlying skin and slowly crystallizes the fat cell contents. During the following two months, the melted fat is gradually eliminated via natural metabolic processes.
What are the indications for cryolipolysis?
Small to moderately full fat bulges resistant to diet and exercise eg: tummy, waist, buttocks, thighs.
How is the procedure performed
• The probe of cryolipolysis machine is placed on the area to be treated, it sucks the stubborn fat by creating vaccum and then it is exposed to -8 degree celcius temperature.
• The initial intense cold feeling gradually disappears because of the cold’s numbing effect.
• Normally there is no discomfort post procedure. Some patients may experience a tingling sensation for few hours to few days in which resolves on its own.
• Results are visible usually within two months.
• Depending on the initial thickness of the fat pad, more than one treatment can be performed.
• Because there are no needles, no injections and no drugs involved, there is no aftercare. Patients may drive home and resume all activities.
How many treatments? How often?
• The treatments are performed 2 times per area spaced 3 months apart
• Cryolipolysis can be associated with complementary treatments (cavitation, radiofrequency)
At Skin City, we feel proud and excited to offer Cryolipolysis to our patients as a painless, liposuction alternative.
