Cryolipolysis is a popular, non-invasive treatment for localized fat reduction by controlled freezing of fat cells. It offers a safe alternative to liposuction, with no recovery time or scarring.
Cryolipolysis device – Fat reduction without surgery
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive method for reducing localized fat by freezing fat cells in a controlled manner. It's a popular body treatment among clients seeking an alternative to liposuction, without recovery time or scarring. For practices and clinics, cryolipolysis is a valuable addition to their contour enhancement treatment options.
Cryolipolysis works by cooling adipose tissue to approximately -8°C, which breaks down fat cells in a controlled manner through apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death without an inflammatory response. These cells are then naturally eliminated by the body. Professional systems combine powerful cooling with safety sensors, skin protection, and vacuum technology for optimal results.
On this page, you'll read all about the functions, benefits, applications, and differences between cryolipolysis devices – including answers to frequently asked questions and advice on purchasing or leasing a system.
What is a cryolipolysis device?
A cryolipolysis device is a professional cosmetic system that freezes fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. This is achieved through controlled cooling combined with vacuum technology to position the treatment area correctly.
During the treatment, the fat tissue is cooled to approximately -5 to -10°C for 30–60 minutes. The fat cells are more sensitive to the cold than other cells in the body, causing them to die and be gradually eliminated by the lymphatic system in the weeks following the treatment.
Cryolipolysis is safe, well-researched and suitable for treatments on the abdomen, flanks, legs, double chin, arms and other problem areas.

Types of cryolipolysis devices
Not every cryolipolysis device is the same. There are significant differences in quality, safety, and effectiveness. Professional systems differ in the following ways:
- Stable and controlled cooling down to a minimum of -8 °C
- Built-in skin protection and temperature sensors
- Vacuum technology for better grip and treatment precision
- Medical CE marking and clinical substantiation
- Multiple handpieces for different body areas
- User-friendly interface and reliable service support
Cheaper devices can lead to unstable cooling, skin damage, or insufficient fat reduction. Therefore, choose a clinically proven system that is specifically developed for professional use and supported by training and technical service.

Frequently asked questions about cryolipolysis devices
There are many cryolipolysis systems on the market, varying in quality, effectiveness, and safety. The "best" device depends on your needs, target group, and working methods, but there are clear criteria to consider:
- Safety: choose a device with medical CE certification and real-time temperature monitoring. Devices without safety features can lead to burns or disappointing results.
- Cooling capacity: A good cryolipolysis machine should be able to cool in a controlled manner to a minimum -8 ° C, stable and evenly distributed over the entire treatment surface.
- Handpieces: Look at the number and type of handpieces (size, shape, double treatment), especially if you want to treat multiple areas at once.
- Comfort and skin protection: Systems with skin protection pads, customised vacuum settings and smart sensors provide greater comfort and safety.
- Usability: Intuitive operation and flexible treatment protocols are essential for efficient work.
- Training and service: Always choose a supplier that offers support with training, clinical application and service, also in the long term.
An example of such a professional system is the Rooms Z Lipo, which combines stable cooling with user-friendliness and CE marking.
Yes, cryolipolysis has been clinically studied and proven to be an effective method for localized fat reduction. Studies show that cryolipolysis results in an average of 20–25% fat reduction per treatment in the treated area. Results are visible after 4–6 weeks and are maintained with a stable weight.
Depending on the area and the fat layer, a loss of 1 to 4 cm can be measured. Factors such as lifestyle, body fat percentage, genetics, and the number of treatments play a role.
Please note: this is about fat reduction, not weight loss.
In the Netherlands, cryolipolysis may be performed by skin therapists, beauticians, and other professionals with the appropriate product training. A good basic understanding of contraindications, anatomy, and safe application is essential.
The price ranges from approximately €10.000 to €60.000, depending on the number of handpieces, technology, and service options. Cheaper models are often less effective or unreliable.
With an average of 4–6 treatments per week, a professional system often pays for itself within 6 to 12 months. Many practices combine cryolipolysis with additional services for additional revenue.
