1. Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing)

Best for: Stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise.

Cryolipolysis uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over several weeks. Popular brand names include CoolSculpting® and similar advanced systems.

Benefits:

• Permanent fat cell reduction
• No anesthesia or incisions
• Treats multiple body areas

Treatment time: 35–60 minutes per area Results: Visible in 3–6 weeks, full in 8–12 weeks.

2. Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening

Best for: Loose or sagging skin, mild wrinkles.

RF technology delivers controlled heat deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It’s ideal for tightening skin after weight loss or pregnancy.

Benefits:

• Immediate skin tightening effect
• Gradual collagen remodeling
• Painless with zero downtime

Treatment time: 30–45 minutes Results: Immediate firmness, improved texture over 2–3 months.

3. Ultrasound Cavitation

Best for: Breaking down fat in larger areas.

Ultrasound cavitation uses low-frequency sound waves to disrupt fat cell membranes, making them easier for the body to metabolize.

Benefits:

• Non-invasive fat breakdown
• No pain or downtime
• Affordable treatment option

Treatment time: 20–40 minutes Results: Gradual slimming over several weeks.

4. Laser Lipolysis (Low-Level Laser Therapy)

Best for: Targeted fat reduction and skin tightening.

Laser lipolysis uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate fat cells, causing them to release stored fatty acids while stimulating collagen.

Benefits:

• Comfortable and quick sessions
• Treats multiple areas in one visit
• Tightens skin while reducing fat

Treatment time: 20–30 minutes Results: Noticeable in 2–4 weeks.

5. Combination Treatments for Maximum Results

At Nova Vita Esthetics, we often combine:

• Cryolipolysis for fat reduction
• RF skin tightening for firmness
• Ultrasound cavitation for smoothing
• Laser lipolysis for fine-tuning

This multi-technology approach maximizes contouring and long-term satisfaction.
