In the world of aesthetics, body contouring has become one of the most in-demand treatments of the decade. From busy professionals seeking visible results with minimal downtime to postpartum mothers wanting to feel like themselves again, patients are increasingly turning away from invasive surgeries and embracing non-surgical body contouring alternatives.
At the centre of this shift is cryolipolysis, a fat-freezing technology transforming both clinics and patient physiques across the world.
But what’s really driving the demand? And how should modern clinics adapt?
That’s where The Cryo Lab Series comes in.
To truly understand the future of body contouring, we need to think in layers.
Body Layering® is a multi-phase approach that addresses the three essential elements of aesthetic body transformation: fat, muscle, and skin. It’s not about one treatment—it’s about combining the right technologies, in the right order, to create natural, long-lasting results.
Here's how the Body Layering protocol works:
Volume reduction with cryolipolysis (also known as fat freezing) which targets and eliminates stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise.
Muscle Toning with EMS (Electromagnetic Stimulation): to strengthen and define muscle groups like abs, glutes, and thighs.
Skin Tightening with Radio Frequency or Focused Diodes: to tighten, smooth, and firm the skin for a more sculpted, refined finish.
As Dr. Galyna Selezneva puts it:
“Usually when we refer to body contouring devices, we are talking about fat targeting treatments, and this is to reduce the volume of subcutaneous fat layer or the grab-able fat. Then we are talking about the muscles, and that's usually a toning device, and of course, we finish up with good firm skin. So those are the treatments that target collagen production in the skin.”
Body layering begins with cryolipolysis (cryo), because it's the foundation of effective, non-invasive body contouring.
The aesthetic industry is evolving. As more people turn away from liposuction, they’re seeking safe, scientifically backed alternatives that deliver real outcomes without recovery time.
According to Dr. Galyna, patient demand for volume reduction treatments is a major factor driving the shift:
“If you think about it, the face only occupies less than 4% of the entire you. So now we are seeing a big shift towards body treatments and body contouring treatments in particular... Fat centered treatments remain incredibly popular, and it is by far the most requested procedure. So it still remains the foundation of body contouring.
Dr. Haus, a dermatologist practicing in Harley Street London, reinforces the demand for cryo from his patients:
"For us to have a body device is part of our day-to-day because our patients want to have body treatments. They are very concerned about body issues, and in my opinion, cryolipolysis is the best technology to address that problem."
Cryolipolysis uses precision-controlled cooling to trigger apoptosis (natural cell death) in fat cells, while preserving the surrounding skin and muscle tissue. Over time, the body naturally flushes these fat cells out, resulting in a more sculpted silhouette.
It’s non-invasive, well-tolerated, and patients love the visible results with no downtime.
The reason to invest in cryolipolysis goes beyond the outstanding patient outcomes. Investing in cryolipolysis technology is a profitable business decision.
Khatra Paterson, a successful clinic owner, shares:
“Cryolipolysis capitalises on high patient demand for non-invasive body contouring treatments. Aligning with a growing trend for low-risk, effective treatments. Its premium pricing actually generates a really strong profit margin and the need for repeat sessions, and encourages or ensures consistent revenue.”
She choseCristal-Pro for its 4-applicator system, which allows clinics to treat multiple areas simultaneously. With low consumables, high patient satisfaction, and scalable treatment packages, it’s no wonder more clinics are investing in cryo.
Cryolipolysis is more than a trend. It’s a foundational technology in the growing field of non-surgical body transformation.
Clinics that want to stay ahead of the curve need to:
Stay informed on emerging cryo technologies
Offer personalised, layered treatment plans
Market their services with clarity and credibility
As Dr. Galyna notes:
“As an aesthetic treatment, it is essential for a body contouring offer. So, if you as a clinic offering body contouring procedures, it is very hard to get away without a good cryolipolysis device.
