Cryolipolysis works by selectively cooling fat cells to trigger apoptosis, or programmed cell death, while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. The body then gradually removes the affected fat cells through immune and lymphatic processes, which is why results develop over several weeks rather than immediately. Initial changes may appear within a few weeks, with fuller results commonly becoming visible around 8–12 weeks. Once treated fat cells are cleared, they do not regenerate, although remaining fat cells can still enlarge with future weight gain.
