Body contouring works best for people who are already close to their goal weight but have specific areas that won’t respond to diet or training. That includes post-pregnancy body changes, men and women with localized fat pockets, and anyone who wants a non-surgical option before considering anything more invasive.
It’s not the right fit for everyone. We don’t treat pregnant or breastfeeding women, anyone with a pacemaker or metal implant in the treatment area, active skin infections or open wounds in the zone, uncontrolled diabetes or blood disorders, or (for fat freezing specifically) cryoglobulinemia. Severe obesity is usually better addressed surgically first.
Because these are two different technologies, we pick the one that fits your body and goals during a free consultation rather than defaulting to one for everyone.
Not all fat reduction technologies work the same way. Some treatments are better for small, stubborn fat pockets, while others are designed for larger body areas or skin tightening support. At Bioflex Aesthetic, we carefully select the most suitable body contouring technology based on your body type, treatment area, skin condition, and desired outcome.
The two most popular non-surgical body contouring treatments we offer across Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Peshawar are Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing) and Ultrasonic Cavitation.
Cryolipolysis uses controlled cooling to destroy fat cells beneath the skin without damaging the tissue, nerves, or skin above it. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than skin cells, so when the area is cooled to a precise range, the fat cells crystallise and die off through a natural process called apoptosis. The body’s lymphatic system then clears them out over the next 4 to 12 weeks.
A session starts with a consultation to assess the treatment area and your medical history. A protective gel pad goes over the skin, then the applicator is placed so a gentle vacuum draws the fat tissue between two cooling panels. The device brings the tissue down to between -5°C and -10°C for 35 to 60 minutes per area. You’ll feel intense cold, some mild suction, and slight tingling, all temporary. Afterward, the practitioner massages the area briefly to help break down the crystallised fat, and your body takes it from there over the following weeks.
Common areas treated: abdomen, love handles and flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, bra and back fat, double chin.
Also treatable: banana roll, chest and male gynecomastia, knee fat, hips, upper and lower back.
Cavitation works differently. Instead of freezing fat cells, it uses focused low-frequency ultrasound to create microscopic bubbles inside the fat layer. Those bubbles expand and collapse, rupturing the fat cell membrane. The released fat content, triglycerides and glycerol, then moves through the lymphatic system and leaves the body naturally.
It’s particularly useful on larger areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms, and we often pair it with Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening in the same visit for a firmer result alongside the fat reduction.
A session opens the same way, with a consultation, then a conductive gel is applied so the ultrasound probe can move smoothly and transmit energy evenly. The practitioner works the probe over the area in slow circles for about 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll feel warmth, vibration, and a mild buzzing, nothing sharp or painful. If RF is added, that follows immediately after on the same area. Cavitation is done as a course rather than a single session, usually 6 to 12 sessions once a week, with results building gradually as the lymphatic system clears the released fat between visits.
Best suited to: abdomen, thighs (inner and outer), buttocks, upper arms, flanks, back.
Before you come in, drink about 2 litres of water a day for the 48 hours beforehand, skip alcohol for 24 hours, and don’t put lotion or oil on the treatment area that day. Eat something light a couple of hours before rather than a heavy meal right beforehand, and wear loose, comfortable clothing. If you’re on any medication or have a condition your practitioner should know about, mention it during consultation.
Afterward, keep drinking water, 2 to 3 litres a day for 72 hours, to help your lymphatic system flush the destroyed fat. Skip alcohol and high-sugar food for 48 to 72 hours if you had Cavitation, and stay out of saunas or steam rooms for a day or two. A bit of redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the area is normal and usually settles within hours. Light movement like walking or yoga actually helps drainage, so it’s fine, and encouraged, to stay active. The main thing that affects your results is showing up for every session in your course and keeping your diet reasonably steady while you go through it.
Yes. Bioflex Aesthetics uses FDA-approved devices for both Cryolipolysis and Cavitation, and every session is run by a certified, medically trained practitioner following standard hygiene and safety protocols across our Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Peshawar clinics.
It depends on which treatment you choose, how many areas you're targeting, and how many sessions you need. Bioflex Aesthetics offers transparent pricing with flexible packages; book a free consultation for a quote specific to your goals.
Cryolipolysis freezes and destroys isolated, pinchable fat pockets, think love handles or a double chin. Cavitation uses ultrasound to break down fat across bigger areas like the abdomen or thighs. Neither is strictly better; it comes down to what you're treating, and some clients do both.
Cryolipolysis usually takes 1 to 3 sessions per area. Cavitation works as a course of 6 to 12 weekly sessions. Your practitioner will map out a plan after seeing your goals during the free consultation.
Not directly. It's a fat reduction and sculpting treatment for people already near their target weight who want to deal with a stubborn area diet and exercise haven't touched. Your scale weight might barely move, but your shape and measurements will.
