How does cryolipolysis work and how many sessions will you need?
How does it work?
Cryolipolysis uses controlled cooling to destroy adipocytes in the abdomen. The body eliminates these cells naturally in the following weeks.

1 to 3 sessions are recommended, spaced several weeks apart depending on the amount of localized abdominal fat.
Expected results
The reduction is usually 20-25% of the treated abdominal fat accumulation, with visible results starting from 8-12 weeks (approximate data).
Care and possible discomfort
After the session, you can return to your daily routine. It is advisable to avoid intense massages and maintain hydration. There may be temporary redness or a feeling of cold.
Walk gently after the session to help promote fat elimination.
What benefits does ultracavitation offer and how many sessions are necessary?
How does it work?
Ultracavitation uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells, facilitating their elimination by the body.

4 to 10 sessions are recommended, at a frequency of 1-2 times per week.
