Effectively reduces stubborn rolls of fat
CoolSculpting® cryolipolysis is a non-invasive medical treatment that destroys localised fat cells through the controlled application of cold at -11°C. Developed by Zeltiq and available at Forever Institut (Geneva) since 1997, this technique reduces up to 30% of fat in the treated area in a session lasting around 1 hour. The results are visible after 6 weeks and permanent, as the fat cells destroyed do not regenerate.
What is cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting®)?
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive medical slimming method that consists of destroying localised fat cells through the controlled application of cold. Based on the scientific principle that adipocytes are more sensitive to low temperatures than other tissues in the human body, this technique eliminates stubborn bulges without affecting the surrounding skin, muscles or nerves.
At Forever Institut, we use the CoolSculpting® machine from Zeltiq, a world reference recognised for its excellence in terms of effectiveness and safety. After the treatment, the lipids released by the destroyed adipocytes are naturally evacuated by the body over the 3 months following the session.
Cryolipolysis does not replace a balanced diet or regular exercise. It is aimed at people with stubborn areas of localised fat who wish to refine and harmonise their figure in a natural, progressive way. Thanks to over 25 years of expertise in aesthetic medicine in French-speaking Switzerland, the Forever Institut team guarantees you rigorous medical support throughout your treatment.
Indications: for whom and why?
Body areas treated by cryolipolysis
The CoolSculpting® treatment is indicated for many areas of the body affected by localised fat deposits:
Belly and tummy: the abdominal area is one of the most popular. Cryolipolysis of the abdomen is an effective way of reducing bulges and love handles that are resistant to sport and diet.
Double chin and small chin: Cryo treatment targeted on this area helps to refine the facial contour without surgery.
Thighs and saddlebags: the inner and outer thighs respond very well to cryolipolysis, for shapelier legs.
Arms (angel wings) : cold destroys stubborn fat cells in the arms to restore a harmonious silhouette.
Knees : an area often neglected but very effectively treated by CoolSculpting®.
Breasts (in men) : Cryolipolysis is a non-surgical solution for treating adipose gynaecomastia.
Areas of the body that can be treated
Our cryolipolysis treatment can be applied to many areas of the body:
- Chin (single or double)
- Arm
- Belly
- Thigh
- Knees
- Horse breeches
- Love handles
- Breasts (men)
- Angel wings
Who can benefit from this medical treatment?
Cryolipolysis is suitable for people with a stable weight who want to reduce localised areas of fat that are resistant to diet and sport. It is not a treatment for obesity: it is ideal for refining specific areas and harmonising the figure.
During your initial consultation at our clinic in Geneva, our specialists will assess the areas to be treated and determine whether cryolipolysis is the most suitable treatment for you and your body type.
Results and duration
Visible and progressive results
CoolSculpting® reduces fat in the treated area by up to approximately 30 %. The results are progressive: the body naturally eliminates the destroyed adipocytes over a period of 3 to 6 months after the treatment. The first effects are generally noticeable after 6 weeks.
Recommended number of sessions
For many patients, a single session is enough to achieve the desired result. Others decide to repeat sessions to further improve results. The number of sessions is defined individually during the preliminary medical consultation, depending on the area treated and each patient's objectives.
Long-term benefits
The adipocytes destroyed during the treatment do not regenerate: the results are long-lasting. Combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, CoolSculpting® helps you to regain and maintain a harmonious figure over the long term. The best results are obtained by patients who adopt a healthy lifestyle in addition to the treatment.
Safety and side effects
A safe, medically supervised treatment
CoolSculpting® cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique with an excellent safety profile. At Forever Institut, each treatment is carried out under medical supervision with rigorous protocols, guaranteeing your safety and optimal comfort during the procedure. Our 30 years of expertise in aesthetic medicine in French-speaking Switzerland ensures that each treatment is tailored to your individual profile.
Possible side effects
Side effects are generally temporary and moderate:
- Local redness and haematomas immediately after the session
- Swelling and hardening of the treated area (3 to 5 days)
- Temporary loss of sensitivity of the area
- These effects are transient, not systematic, and vary from patient to patient.
The treatment does not require any social eviction. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the session.
Contraindications
In certain situations, treatment should be postponed or avoided:
- Pregnancy
- Obesity
- On the area to be treated: bacterial or viral infections, open wounds, skin infections, etc.
- Hypersensitivity to cold (cold urticaria, Raynaud's syndrome, cryoglobulinemia, etc.)

Course of treatment
Recommended number of sessions : 1
Session duration : 1-2h
Stage 1 - Medical consultation and personalised diagnosis
Before any intervention, a medico-aesthetic consultation with one of our specialists is compulsory. Your specialist analyses the areas to be treated, assesses your morphological profile and defines a made-to-measure protocol. This stage is essential to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Stage 2 - Preparing the session
On the day of the treatment, the therapist prepares the area to be treated. A protective gel is applied to the skin before the applicator is fitted to protect the superficial tissues. You are left in a comfortable position for the duration of the procedure.
Stage 3 - Cryolipolysis treatment
The therapist places the CoolSculpting® suction applicator on the area to be treated. The device sucks in the bulge and holds it between two cooling panels that gradually extract the heat from the adipose tissue. Throughout the session, the temperature of the tissue is maintained at -11°C, a temperature scientifically proven to destroy adipocytes without damaging neighbouring tissues.
For the first few minutes, you will feel intense pressure and cold, a sensation that quickly subsides. The procedure generally takes 1 hour per zone. You can read, listen to music, check your e-mail or take a nap during the session.
Stage 4 - Post-treatment care
Immediately after cryolipolysis, localised redness and haematomas may appear in the treated area. Over the following 3 to 5 days, swelling, hardening and a temporary loss of sensitivity may be felt. These effects are transient, not systematic, and vary from patient to patient. No social eviction is necessary: you can resume your normal activities as soon as you leave the clinic.

Frequently asked questions about cryolipolysis
Is cryolipolysis painful?
The CoolSculpting® treatment offered by Forever Institut in Geneva is not painful. For the first few minutes, you will feel intense pressure and cold, which quickly subside as the area becomes numb. The rest of the session - which lasts around 1 hour per area - is comfortable, with no anaesthetic required. You can read, listen to music or take a nap during the procedure.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
For the majority of patients treated at Forever Institut, a single session is enough to obtain satisfactory results. Some prefer to repeat the treatment for more pronounced effects. The results are progressive: the first effects are noticeable after 6 weeks, and the final result can be seen between 3 and 6 months after the session, the time it takes for the body to naturally eliminate the destroyed fat cells. The number of sessions is defined during the preliminary medical consultation, depending on the area treated and the objectives.
Does cryolipolysis give permanent results?
Yes, the fat cells destroyed by the cold during a CoolSculpting® cryolipolysis session do not regenerate: the results are permanent. According to the doctors at Forever Institut in Geneva, Zeltiq technology can permanently reduce up to 30 % of fat in the treated area. To maintain these results over time, it is recommended that you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle after treatment.
What is the difference between cryolipolysis and liposuction?
CoolSculpting® cryolipolysis is a non-invasive treatment: no surgery, no general anaesthetic, no social eviction. It is aimed at people with a stable weight who wish to reduce localised fat deposits that are resistant to sport and diet. Liposuction is a surgical procedure indicated for larger volumes of fat, with a recovery period. At Forever Institut in Geneva, during the consultation, the doctors assess which approach best suits your objectives and your morphological profile.
Can several areas be treated at the same time?
Yes, the Forever Institut doctors can treat several areas in a single visit - stomach, thighs, arms, double chin, love handles - depending on the medical assessment carried out beforehand. Treating several areas in a single session optimises the overall result and reduces the number of visits required. Total treatment time varies according to the number of areas treated, but allow around 1 hour per area.
Is there any social exclusion after treatment?
No. One of the major advantages of CoolSculpting® cryolipolysis at Forever Institut is the total absence of social isolation: you return to your normal activities immediately after the session. Redness, slight swelling or temporary numbness may appear in the treated area over the following 3 to 5 days, but these effects are transitory and do not require you to stop work or social isolation.
Is cryolipolysis suitable for treating cellulite?
Cryolipolysis targets localised subcutaneous fat - it is not a specific treatment for cellulite. To treat cellulite, the doctors at Forever Institut in Geneva recommend complementary treatments such as CelluM6® LPG, Renata França drainage or mesotherapy, to be combined with cryolipolysis for harmonious, long-lasting results. A combined protocol is often the most effective solution, depending on each patient's profile.
How do I make an appointment for a cryolipolysis consultation in Geneva?
