Cryolipolysis vs. Ultrasonic Cavitation

Both eliminate stubborn fat without surgery — but they're suited to different goals. Here's how they compare.

	Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing)	Ultrasonic Cavitation
How it works	Precisely cools fat cells to trigger natural cell death (apoptosis)	Low-frequency ultrasound waves break down fat cell membranes
Best for	Pinchable fat pockets — belly, flanks, inner thighs, arms, chin	Overall body contouring and skin tightening across larger areas
Sessions needed	1–3 per area	6–12 sessions (spaced weekly)
Results visible	6–12 weeks after treatment	After 3–5 sessions
Fat reduction	20–25% per treated area Highest	Gradual, cumulative reduction
Skin tightening	Minimal	Yes — mild to moderate
Session length	35–60 min per area	30–60 min per area
Downtime	None (mild redness/tingling)	None
Permanent?	Yes — fat cells are destroyed permanently	Fat cells can return with weight gain
Ideal candidate	Near goal weight with specific stubborn areas	Looking to contour and tighten over multiple sessions

Which is right for you?

Many clients use both: Cryolipolysis to target specific pockets, and Cavitation to refine and tone the surrounding areas.
