Cryo Sculpting & Fat Reduction
Freeze away stubborn fat. Sculpt your ideal shape.
Tru Cryo Kaasen Sculpting and CryoRelief with EMS permanently destroy fat cells through precise cryogenic temperature delivery to targeted areas — non-invasive, no anesthesia, clinically proven, and with results that continue for months.
Stubborn fat deposits — the fat that persists despite diet and training — are stubborn because they sit in areas with poor circulation and high density of fat cells that are metabolically resistant to conventional lipolysis. Cryo Sculpting addresses this at its root by exploiting cryolipolysis: the fact that fat cells are significantly more sensitive to cold temperatures than the surrounding tissue.
At the precise temperature delivered by cryogenic sculpting devices, fat cells undergo apoptosis (controlled cell death) while skin, nerve, and muscle tissue remain unharmed. Over the weeks following treatment, the immune system processes and eliminates these apoptotic fat cells — permanently removing them from the treatment area. Unlike fat cells reduced by caloric restriction (which shrink but remain), cryolysis-destroyed fat cells are gone permanently.
At MK Wellness, we offer the Tru Cryo Kaasen system for targeted cryogenic sculpting alongside CryoRelief with EMS, which adds electrical muscle stimulation to the cryotherapy for simultaneous muscle toning and contouring. Treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, lower back, and glutes.
What to Expect
How It Works
Cryolipolysis exploits the differential sensitivity of fat cells and non-fat tissue to cold temperatures. At approximately -5 to -10°C, fat cell triglycerides crystallize, triggering an inflammatory cascade that activates the apoptosis pathway. The adjacent skin, muscle, and nerve tissue — which require much lower temperatures to suffer damage — remains unaffected. Over 30–90 days post-treatment, macrophages in the immune system engulf and process the apoptotic fat cells, and they are eliminated via the lymphatic system.
Fat cell crystallization at targeted cryogenic temperatures (-5°C to -10°C)
Apoptosis cascade triggered in lipid-laden adipocytes — controlled, progressive cell death
Inflammatory response: macrophage recruitment to apoptotic fat cells over 4–12 weeks
Macrophage-mediated clearance: apoptotic cells phagocytosed and eliminated via lymphatics and liver
EMS component: electrical muscle stimulation simultaneously contracts underlying muscle
Net result: reduction in fat layer thickness and improved muscle tone in treatment area
Research & Clinical Evidence
Cryolipolysis for Non-Invasive Fat Reduction
A systematic review in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal examined cryolipolysis across 19 studies with imaging-confirmed outcomes.
- ·Average 14.67–28.5% reduction in fat layer thickness by imaging
- ·High patient satisfaction rates
- ·Permanent fat cell destruction confirmed histologically
- ·Adverse events minimal — temporary numbness, redness, bruising
EMS for Body Contouring
Clinical evidence for electrical muscle stimulation as a complement to cryotherapy in body contouring protocols.
- ·Increased muscle fiber activation in treated regions
- ·Improved muscle tone ratings by blinded evaluators
- ·Enhanced fat reduction outcomes when combined with cryotherapy
- ·High patient satisfaction with combined protocols
Conditions It May Support
Non-medical. These are areas of active research and client-reported benefit, not medical diagnoses or treatment claims.
What a Session Feels Like
The cryotherapy applicator is placed on the target area and the cooling cycle begins. In the first few minutes, you feel intense cold followed by numbness as the fat layer cools. Most clients read, use their phone, or relax during the treatment. The EMS component (if selected) adds rhythmic muscle contractions to the numb, cooled tissue — which is typically well tolerated. Post-treatment, gentle massage of the treated area is performed to break up the temporarily crystallized fat cells.
