Cooltech: The Ultimate Guide to Non-Invasive Body Contouring
What is Cooltech?
Cooltech is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses patented cryolipolysis technology to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells.
Developed in Europe, Cooltech offers a dual-applicator system that can treat two areas simultaneously, reducing overall treatment time.
How Cooltech Works
During a Cooltech procedure, a gel pad is applied to the target area, followed by an applicator that suctions the skin and fat into a cooling panel.
The device delivers controlled cooling, lowering the temperature of fat cells to approximately -8°C, causing them to undergo apoptosis (cell death).
The body’s lymphatic system then naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
Benefits of Cooltech
- Non-invasive: No surgery, incisions, or anesthesia required
- Minimal downtime: Resume normal activities immediately after treatment
- Targeted treatment: Variety of applicators for different body areas
- Long-lasting results: Permanently removes fat cells, with results lasting indefinitely with a healthy lifestyle
Potential Side Effects
- Common side effects: Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, tenderness, and tingling
- Rare side effects: Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a condition requiring corrective surgery
Cooltech vs. CoolSculpting
- Simultaneous applicators: Cooltech’s dual applicators can treat two areas at once, reducing treatment time
- FDA vs. CE approval: CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared, while Cooltech is CE-certified
- Cost: Cooltech is often more affordable
- Number of applicators: Cooltech offers a wider range of applicators
Who is a Good Candidate?
Cooltech is ideal for individuals who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and want to reduce small, localized areas of stubborn fat
that have resisted diet and exercise.
How it Works
Consultation and treatment area marking
A trained practitioner will assess your body and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Cooltech is the right procedure for you. The target area for fat reduction, such as the abdomen or flanks, is then marked to ensure the correct placement of the applicator
Application and controlled cooling
A protective gel pad is placed on the skin, followed by a vacuum-like applicator that suctions the bulge of fat into the device. The machine then delivers controlled cooling to the targeted fat cells, lowering their temperature to as low as -8°C to trigger cell death (cryolipolysis).
Massage to break up frozen cells
After the cooling cycle is complete, the applicator is removed. The practitioner then massages the treated area for a few minutes. This vigorous massage helps to break up the frozen fat cells and can improve the final outcome of the procedure.
Natural elimination by the body
In the weeks and months following the treatment, your body’s lymphatic system naturally and gradually flushes out the destroyed fat cells. This process leads to a reduction in the fat layer’s thickness in the treated area and a more contoured, sculpted appearance.

Quick answers to questions you may have
Is Cooltech a weight-loss treatment?
No, Cooltech is a body contouring and fat-reduction treatment, not a weight-loss solution. It is designed for individuals who are near their ideal body weight but have stubborn, localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Cooltech can reduce the number of fat cells in a specific area, but it will not cause a significant drop in your weight
Are the results from Cooltech permanent?
Yes, the fat cells that are destroyed during the Cooltech procedure are permanently eliminated from the body. Once those cells are gone, they cannot return. However, maintaining your results requires a healthy lifestyle, as the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients begin to see a noticeable difference within three to four weeks of treatment. The full effect, as your body continues to process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells, is typically visible within eight to twelve weeks.
Is the Cooltech treatment painful?
Most patients find the procedure comfortable and experience minimal discomfort. During the first few minutes, you may feel an intense cold, a pulling, or a tugging sensation as the device suctions the fat. These sensations typically subside as the area becomes numb. Following the treatment, some temporary bruising, redness, or soreness may occur.
