If you have ever Googled “freeze fat without surgery”, you have probably come across names like CoolSculpting or Clatuu. These treatments are all based on the same concept—cryolipolysis, a technology that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy stubborn fat cells.
Now, at Dream Clinic, we have just brought in the latest generation of this technology: Cristal Pro. It is sleeker, more comfortable, and offers advanced settings to help us tailor treatments for your exact needs.
How Cryolipolysis Works
Think of fat cells as being a little more “cold-sensitive” than the rest of your tissues. When exposed to precise, low temperatures, these fat cells crystallize and die—a process called apoptosis. While your skin, muscles, and nerves remain unharmed. Over the next 6–12 weeks, your body naturally clears away these dead fat cells via lymphatic drainage.
The result? A permanent reduction in the number of fat cells in the treated area. And because Cristal Pro has multiple applicator sizes, we can contour everything from your love handles to your double chin with precision.
Why Cristal Pro Stands Out
Compared to earlier cryolipolysis machines like CoolSculpting and Clatuu, Cristal Pro offers:
Powerful All-Round Cooling: Cristal Pro uses a high-performance cooling system that chills the entire applicator evenly. This means fat cells are targeted more efficiently, allowing for shorter treatment times without compromising results.
Adjustable Cooling Power: The Cristal Pro allows precise control of cooling intensity, so we can customise the temperature to match your comfort level, skin sensitivity, and the specific area being treated. This tailored approach not only enhances comfort during the session but also helps optimise results while protecting the skin.
Intuitive, Smart Controls: The device features an easy-to-navigate touch interface with preset treatment protocols, so we can quickly select the ideal settings for your body and goals—ensuring maximum comfort and satisfaction every time.
Built-In Ultrasound Measurement: Cristal Pro is not just about freezing fat—it’s about tracking progress. With its integrated ultrasound technology, we can measure fat thickness and muscle volume before and after your sessions, so you see exactly how your body is changing.
Multi-Area Capability: Unlike older cryolipolysis devices that treat only one or two areas at a time, Cristal Pro can work on up to four areas simultaneously. This means less time in the treatment chair and faster progress towards your body contouring goals.
Ergonomic Applicators: Designed to follow the natural curves of the body, Cristal Pro applicators ensure a snug and even fit. This leads to more uniform fat reduction, minimising the risk of uneven results and making it ideal for tricky spots like love handles, bra bulges, or inner thighs.
Choosing the Right Candidate: The Importance of Proper Selection
Ideal for:
Those with well-defined, localized fat that won’t budge with diet or exercise.
Patients with a BMI below 30 kg/m², close to their ideal weight.
Not suitable for:
Individuals with generalized obesity or widespread fat.
Those with significant skin laxity, where fat removal could lead to sagging or uneven contours after treatment.
Cryolipolysis is a contouring tool, and definitely not a weight-loss solution. It works best on localized pockets, not broad fat deposits.
What the Science Says
Research on cryolipolysis has shown consistent results:
15–28% fat layer reduction in the treated area after a single session.
Visible improvements usually seen in 6–8 weeks, with continued changes up to 12 weeks.
Works best for people close to their ideal weight who have stubborn pockets of fat.
Where Cristal Pro Fits in Aesthetic Care
At Dream Clinic, we often combine cryolipolysis with other body-contouring treatments for the best results:
Localized fat-melting injections for small stubborn areas.
Skin tightening devices to address laxity after fat reduction.
Lifestyle guidance to maintain your results.
Lifestyle Guidance & Beyond
While cryolipolysis with Cristal Pro can help reduce stubborn fat pockets, long-term body contouring success depends on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and ongoing medical support are key to keeping results sustainable.
For patients struggling with weight management on a broader scale, there are now powerful medical options that can complement treatments like cryolipolysis. One example is Mounjaro (tirzepatide)—a once-weekly injectable originally designed for diabetes but now showing remarkable results in safe, medically supervised weight loss.
In my next article, we will explore:

How it fits into an aesthetic clinic setting alongside treatments like Cristal Pro
Stay tuned – because when combined wisely, science-backed medicine and advanced aesthetic technology can help you achieve not only the look you want, but also the health foundation to sustain it.
The Bottom Line
If you have heard of CoolSculpting or Clatuu, think of Cristal Pro as the new, improved sibling. It designed for better comfort, faster sessions, and more customisation. It is not a weight-loss tool, but it’s a fantastic option if you’re already living a healthy lifestyle and want to fine-tune your shape without surgery or downtime.
At Dream Clinic, we are excited to bring this technology to our patients, because sometimes, the coolest way to shape your body is literally…to cool it !
