The short version (for the “just tell me” crowd)
Cryolipolysis—aka fat freezing—cools stubborn fat to a precise low temperature. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than skin, nerves, or muscle, so they crystallize, shut down, and are gradually cleared by the body over a few weeks. Good machines make this controlled, even, and safe. Great machines make it efficient for your clinic, too.
Why cold works on fat (the science in plain English)
Selective chill: Fat cells (adipocytes) have a higher fat content and different membrane behavior, so they’re the first to tap out when temperatures drop.
Apoptosis, not “instant melting”: You’re not popping fat cells on the spot—you’re triggering a tidy “retire and recycle” process. The lymphatic system quietly clears them over time.
Precision matters: Uniform cooling, smart sensors, and gentle vacuum suction help reach the target temperature without harming surrounding tissue.
What happens during a session?
Prep & membrane: The area is measured and a gel anti-freeze membrane is applied to protect skin.
Vide + seal: An applicator draws the tissue into a cooling cup for close contact and stable temperature.
Pre-heat (in some systems): A brief warm-up (around 37–45 °C) promotes blood flow, then the device transitions to deep cooling.
Controlled cooling: The applicator holds the tissue at a precisely low temperature (often down to around −15 °C, depending on the system).
Post-care: Light massage, hydratation, and optional lymphatic drainage help comfort and circulation.
What clients feel: initial tugging from vacuum, then intense cold that typically numbs within minutes. Most nap, scroll, or answer emails.
When results show: subtle changes from week 3–4, with peak contouring around week 8–12.
Why 360° cooling is a big deal
Traditional applicators cool from two side plates—effective, but the “edges” may run warmer. 360° applicators wrap the tissue with cold, so the entire captured area gets even treatment. Upsides:
More uniform fat reduction per session
Shorter total treatment plans for the same area
Happier before/after photos
Picking the right system (clinic owner’s cheat sheet)
Throughput: Treat more areas at once to keep your schedule flowing.
Coverage uniformity: 360° cups = fewer “missed” zones and smoother results.
Temperature intelligence: Real-time sensors guard against over- or under-cooling.
Ergonomics: Applicator sizes should match bellies, flanks, bras, cuisses, sub-chin, etc..
Add-on tech: EMS or mechanical micro-vibration can boost circulation, tonifier, and client satisfaction.

FAQ (fast, friendly, and honest)
Is cryolipolysis safe?
Yes—when performed with professional systems that use real-time sensors et uniform 360° cooling (comme le S9 360). Always follow the presets and training.
How many sessions do clients need?
Often 1–3 per area, espacé 4–6 semaines apart. Pictures and measurements help set expectations.
Does it hurt?
Most clients feel firm suction and intense cold that turns into numbness in a few minutes. Post-treatment tenderness is usually mild and temporary.
What areas can you treat?
Abdomen, flanks, cuisses, upper arms, bra/back rolls, sub-chin, and more—choose applicators that fit the fold and size. Le multi-size cups on the S9 360 et S10 make this easy.
How is 360° cooling different from old plate designs?
360° cups chill the entire captured tissue evenly—less risk of warm corners and more consistent results. See the 360° systems: S9 360, S10.
I want fat reduction et toning in one appointment. Possible?
Yep. That’s exactly what S26 – CryoEMS is built for: cryo cooling plus EMS muscle activation.
What if I also want lymphatic and cellulite work?
Consider S25 2-in-1 ou S26 2-in-1—they combine cryo with inner-ball roller micro-vibration for smoothing and drainage.
Where do I buy a motorized cryotherapy machine?
Directly from the product pages here at Sheefmon. Start with the S9 360 for a flagship 360° system, or browse the S10, S26 CryoEMS, S25 2-in-1, ou S26 2-in-1 and use Request a Quote.
