Body ContouringFAQs

With so many body contouring options available, we know it can be hard to know which treatment is right for you. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often about our services, treatments, and what to expect.

What is Cryo Slimming and how does it work?

Cryo Slimming is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to target stubborn fat cells in a specific treatment area. The cooling process triggers apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in the targeted fat cells. Over time, your body naturally processes and eliminates those damaged cells through the lymphatic system.

At Sculptify, our CryoLean 360 uses suction-free paddles that rest directly on the treatment area, making it a comfortable alternative to traditional suction-based fat-freezing treatments. Because your body needs time to process the treated fat cells, Cryo Slimming treatments are typically spaced about two weeks apart, and a series of treatments is recommended for best results.

Cryo Slimming is designed for body contouring and targeted fat reduction—not overall weight loss—and individual results vary.

How is Cryo Slimming different than Cool Sculpting?

Cryo Slimming and CoolSculpting both use controlled cooling as part of non-invasive body contouring, but the treatment experience and technology are different.

Sculptify's CryoLean 360 uses suction-free paddles that rest directly against the treatment area rather than pulling tissue into a vacuum applicator. This allows us to treat targeted areas without the suction associated with traditional CoolSculpting treatments.

Cryo Slimming is performed as a series, with treatments typically spaced about two weeks apart to allow your body time to naturally process the treated fat cells. The number of treatments recommended depends on your starting point, treatment area, and individual goals.

During your consultation, we'll determine whether Cryo Slimming is appropriate for you and create a treatment plan based on the results you're hoping to achieve.

What happens during my appointment?

Your experience will depend on the treatment you're receiving. Before we begin, we'll review your treatment plan, discuss the area we're working on, and make sure you're comfortable with what to expect.

During your treatment, I'll walk you through each step and explain what I'm doing along the way. Depending on your personalized plan, your appointment may include Cryo Slimming, RF + Cavitation, vacuum therapy, or a combination of modalities.

Most treatments are comfortable and require little to no downtime, so you can typically return to your normal day afterward.

Is body contouring safe?

Our body contouring treatments are non-invasive and are generally well tolerated when performed on an appropriate candidate. Each technology has its own safety guidelines and contraindications, which is why we review your health history and treatment goals before recommending a service.

During your treatment, I'll monitor you closely and adjust the treatment as needed for your comfort and safety. If you have a medical condition, implanted device, recent surgery, or other health concern that may affect treatment, medical clearance may be recommended before moving forward.

What are the benefits of body contouring?

Body contouring is designed to target specific concerns that may not respond the way you'd like to diet and exercise alone. Depending on the treatment and your individual goals, we can focus on reducing stubborn fat, improving the appearance of skin laxity and cellulite, enhancing body contours, or creating a more sculpted appearance.

Treatments are non-surgical and require little to no downtime. Because everyone's body and goals are different, your treatment plan is personalized rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Results vary, and a series of treatments is typically recommended for the best outcome.

Who may not be a candidate for body contouring?

Body contouring isn't appropriate for everyone, and contraindications vary depending on the treatment being performed. Certain medical conditions, medications, implanted devices, pregnancy, recent surgeries, and other health factors may affect which treatments are appropriate for you.

Before beginning treatment, we'll review your health history and discuss any factors that could impact your treatment plan. In some cases, medical clearance may be required before moving forward.

Your safety comes first, which is why treatment recommendations are always based on your individual health history, goals, and the specific technology being used.

How often can I have a Cryo Slimming treatment?

Cryo Slimming treatments are typically scheduled every 14 days. This spacing gives your body time between sessions as it naturally processes the treated fat cells.

Because Cryo Slimming is designed to be performed as a series, staying consistent with your recommended treatment schedule is important. Your exact number of treatments will depend on your treatment area, starting point, and individual goals.

How often can I have a Glacial Facial?

How often you schedule a Glacial Facial depends on your skin, your goals, and whether you're working toward a specific result or simply maintaining your skin.

Treatments can be incorporated into your regular skincare routine, and we'll recommend a schedule based on what makes the most sense for you.

Can I work out before or after my body contouring treatment?

Yes! You can absolutely stay active while receiving body contouring treatments. For Cryo Slimming, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise immediately before your appointment so your body has time to return to its normal temperature before treatment.

After your appointment, normal activity is generally fine. Staying active, hydrated, and supporting healthy circulation and lymphatic flow are all great ways to support your body throughout your treatment series.

Recommendations may vary depending on the treatment you're receiving, so we'll go over any specific pre- and post-treatment instructions with you.

What do I need to bring?

You don't need to bring anything special to your appointment! We recommend arriving well hydrated and wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated.

Hydration is especially important with body contouring, so we encourage drinking plenty of water before and after your treatment to support normal circulation and lymphatic function.

For Cryo Slimming: Try to avoid strenuous exercise or anything that significantly raises your body temperature immediately before your appointment. This allows your skin and body temperature to return to normal before treatment.

If your specific treatment requires any additional preparation, we'll go over that with you ahead of your appointment.

How does Cryo Slimming target fat cells?

Cryo Slimming uses controlled cooling to target fat cells beneath the skin. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than the surrounding tissue. When exposed to controlled cooling, the targeted fat cells can undergo a natural process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

Over the weeks following treatment, your body gradually processes and eliminates the affected fat cells through its natural processes. Because this happens over time, results develop gradually rather than immediately.

Cryo Slimming is designed for localized areas of stubborn fat and body contouring—not as a weight-loss treatment. A series of treatments is typically recommended based on your goals and the area being treated.

Will I lose weight with body contouring?

Body contouring is designed to reshape and contour targeted areas of the body—not to produce overall weight loss. Because fat cells take up volume, reducing fat in a specific area may result in changes to your measurements, shape, and how your clothing fits without creating a significant change on the scale.

Your weight may fluctuate throughout your treatment series for many reasons, but the number on the scale isn't how we measure the success of body contouring.

For clients who also have weight-loss goals, Sculptify offers medically guided weight wellness options that can be discussed separately during your consultation.

What can I expect from a Glacial Facial?

The Glacial Facial begins with targeted cooling to refresh and soothe the skin while supporting circulation and a smoother, firmer-looking appearance.

After the cooling portion of your treatment is complete, we finish with red light therapy to further support healthy-looking skin and collagen production.

Together, these steps are designed to improve the appearance of skin tone, texture, puffiness, and overall radiance—all without needles or downtime.

Some clients notice a refreshed appearance after one treatment, while a series may be recommended depending on your individual skin goals.

Who is a good candidate for Cryo Slimming?

Cryo Slimming is best suited for clients who have localized areas of stubborn, pinchable fat they would like to reduce and contour. It is designed for body shaping and targeted fat reduction rather than overall weight loss.

During your consultation, we'll talk about the areas you'd like to address, your goals, health history, and expectations to determine whether Cryo Slimming is the right treatment for you.

Every body is different, and sometimes another treatment—or a combination of treatments—may be a better fit. That's exactly why we start with a consultation and create a treatment plan based on you.

How quickly will I see results?

Results vary from person to person and depend on the treatment, area being treated, your individual goals, and how your body responds.

Cryo Slimming: Changes develop gradually as your body processes the affected fat cells. Some clients begin noticing changes within a few weeks, with results continuing to develop over time. A series of treatments is typically recommended for the best overall outcome.

RF Cavitation: Some clients notice changes in the appearance or feel of the treated area early in their series, while more noticeable contouring and skin-tightening results generally develop progressively with multiple treatments.

Non-Invasive BBL / Booty Lift: A temporary change in the appearance of fullness, lift, and shape may be noticeable immediately after a treatment. Results are cumulative, and a series of treatments is recommended for more noticeable and longer-lasting improvement.

Cellulite Treatments: Changes in the appearance of skin texture and cellulite typically develop throughout a treatment series rather than after a single session. Results vary depending on the severity of cellulite, tissue characteristics, and individual response.

Glacial Facial: You may notice a refreshed, smoother, or less puffy appearance shortly after your appointment. Skin-focused results can continue to improve with a series of treatments.

Because every body and every goal is different, we'll recommend a treatment plan and timeline during your consultation based on what you're hoping to achieve.

How long do the results last?

Results depend on the type of body contouring treatment you receive.

Cryo Slimming: Fat cells destroyed during treatment are permanently eliminated and do not regenerate. However, body contouring does not prevent future weight gain. If you gain a significant amount of weight after treatment, the remaining fat cells can expand and affect your overall results.

RF Cavitation: Fat cells disrupted through cavitation are processed and eliminated by the body. Maintaining a relatively stable weight can help preserve your contouring results. Skin-tightening results from radiofrequency may change over time as the natural aging process continues.

Non-Invasive BBL / Booty Lift: Results are not permanent. This treatment temporarily enhances the appearance of lift, shape, and fullness, and maintenance treatments may be recommended to help maintain your results.

Cellulite Treatments: Improvements in the appearance of cellulite and skin texture can vary and are not considered permanent. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your individual results and goals.

Glacial Facial: Skin benefits are temporary and can be maintained with ongoing treatments as desired.

Your treatment plan and any recommended maintenance will be based on your individual goals and how your body responds.

What can I do to get the most out of my body contouring treatments?

There are several things you can do to support your body and get the most from your treatments. Staying well hydrated, keeping your body moving, eating a balanced diet, and maintaining a relatively stable weight can all support your results.

Following the recommended treatment schedule is also important. Body contouring works best as a series, and consistency gives your body time to respond to each treatment as we build toward your overall goal.

We’ll also give you specific pre- and post-treatment recommendations based on the service you’re receiving.
