The complete guide to cryolipolysis: how to get rid of fat deposits without surgery

Being confident, loving your body and the image you project—regardless of whether it fits conventional beauty standards—should be a priority for everyone. Despite a healthy diet and regular physical activity, some localized fat deposits can truly affect our quality of life and undermine our self-confidence. This is where cryo-aesthetics comes into play. It offers an effective solution to eliminate unwanted bulges quickly, painlessly, and without downtime.

The History of Cryolipolysis

Cryolipolysis was developed by scientists at Harvard University in the 2000s. The original concept was inspired by the observation of several children eating ice pops to relieve dental pain: these children developed dimples. Researchers concluded that cold affects fat cells.

Years later, another study revealed fat loss in the inner thigh area of female horse riders exposed to very cold temperatures. Dermatologists Dieter Manstein and Rox Anderson then collaborated to develop a technology targeting fat cells by cooling them to specific temperatures: this marked the birth of cryolipolysis.

How Does Cryo-Aesthetics Work?

After years of research and development, Contour Paris innovated and introduced Augmented Cryo-Aesthetics: safer and more effective than any similar technology currently available on the aesthetics market.

During an Augmented Cryo-Aesthetics session, the practitioner enters the patient’s criteria into the interface: weight, height, thickness of the localized fat deposit, gender, skin quality, etc. The cutting-edge technology then generates the protocol best suited to the patient’s needs.

An applicator corresponding to the treatment area is placed on the skin. This applicator gently suctions the skin and cools the fat cells for approximately one hour at a specific temperature. The fat cells are damaged by the cold and are then naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Results appear gradually, giving the patient a sculpted silhouette in a perfectly targeted way.

How a Session Works

An Augmented Cryo-Aesthetics session is simple and non-invasive, requiring neither anesthesia nor recovery time.

1. Consultation: Every cryo-aesthetic treatment begins with a thorough consultation. Your practitioner analyzes your wishes and goals, measures and photographs the area to be treated in order to objectively assess the results. They also explain the procedure and verify that there are no contraindications.

2. Treatment: All your criteria are then entered into the device (age, weight, height, skin quality, physical activity, etc.) so that the Contour Paris® algorithm can create a fully customized treatment. Sit back comfortably in the treatment chair—the session can begin. The selected ergonomic handpiece suctions the fat fold and intensely cools it for approximately 60 minutes. Your skin is fully protected by a gel and a Contour Paris® cryoprotective wipe. Throughout the treatment, you can read, sleep, use your computer, or simply relax

3. Post-treatment: Once the handpiece is gently removed, a vigorous massage is performed to optimize the treatment’s effects. As the area gradually warms up again, slight tingling sensations may occur but will disappear spontaneously after a few minutes. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Who Is Cryo-Aesthetics For?

Augmented Cryo-Aesthetics is designed for anyone wishing to quickly and painlessly eliminate localized fat deposits. It is suitable for all body types and skin types.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

In most cases, a single session is enough to achieve the desired results. Depending on the age and volume of the fat deposit, two additional Augmented Cryolipolysis sessions may be scheduled. Patients simply need to follow their practitioner’s recommendations to maintain their new silhouette.

How Can You Achieve Long-Lasting Results?

It is important to follow certain recommendations: stay properly hydrated (at least 1.5 liters of water per day), adopt a balanced diet, and engage in regular physical activity.

To optimize treatment results, it is recommended to massage the treated area daily for the two weeks following the cryo-aesthetic session.
