Cryolipolysis in Zurich with CLATUU Alpha®: Freeze away fat deposits without surgery
Cryolipolysis for double chins, tummies, love handles and thighs. The cold causes fat cells to die off — your body breaks them down over a period of weeks, and they don’t come back. Part of our comprehensive body contouring programme.
Single zone CHF 600 · Double zone CHF 1'000, medical cryolipolysis like CoolSculpting®. Body consultations are free.
In short: Cryolipolysis means «freezing fat»: A fold of fat is drawn into the applicator by gentle suction and cooled in a controlled way; the fat cells die off and the body breaks them down over eight to twelve weeks. No surgery, no needles, no downtime.
At alestetics® at Zurich HB, we work with CLATUU Alpha®, a medical device with full cooling (360°), two applicators at the same time, and a dedicated attachment for the double chin. One zone costs CHF 600, both sides (for example the flanks) CHF 1'000.
This treatment is for you if …
You exercise, eat mindfully, and that one area remains. It’s not your fault: fat on your stomach, hips, or chin hardly responds to exercise. CLATUU Alpha is designed for those stubborn, localized fat deposits—not for weight loss.
You’ve got a few bits of fat that just won’t go away, despite exercising and watching what you eat — your lower tummy, love handles, and inner thighs.
You're bothered by your double chin, even though your weight is fine.
You are close to your ideal weight (around a BMI of 25–30) and are looking to tone up rather than lose a significant amount of weight.
You want long-lasting results without surgery, without anaesthesia and without any downtime.
Also for men: abdomen, love handles and fatty chest (no glandular gynecomastia). All areas suitable.

Recommended add-on: 30 minutes. Endospheres® Lymphatic activation for the entire body, CHF 150.

Available to book as an add-on option.
What CLATUU Alpha is.
CLATUU Alpha is a cryolipolysis device manufactured by the Korean company Classys — the same manufacturer as Volnewmer®. It cools a targeted fold of fat, which is drawn in by suction, to a controlled temperature of around −9 °C.
Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding tissue. Controlled cooling triggers a response in them Apoptosis — a natural process of cell death. Over the following weeks, the body breaks down these cells via the lymphatic system. Once it's gone, it's gone: The cells are not regenerated. Per session, this usually amounts to around 20–22 % of fat in the treated area. The Surround 360° Cooling system evenly envelops the area; a dedicated chin applicator is available for the double chin.
We never use CLATUU on its own. After the cold treatment, we stimulate the lymphatic system using Icoone® or Endospheres® to help break down and remove dead fat cells more quickly — and, if skin tightening is required, we schedule this as a separate step.

What CLATUU Alpha is used to treat.
The areas where we most frequently use CLATUU — listed in order of frequency in our practice.
Double chin
The chin is one of the most rewarding areas to treat with the applicator — provided the weight is right.
Lower abdomen & abdomen
That classic little cushion that sticks around no matter what.
Love handles & bra bulges
The roll above the waistband and the area at the back.
Jodhpurs & Thighs
Inside and outside — organised by zone.
Upper arms & knees
Small, stubborn pockets of fat that won’t go away with exercise.
For men
Abdomen and fatty chest (no glandular gynecomastia). All areas possible.
Three things that make CLATUU different here.
It is not the device alone that matters — but when we use it, in what order, and by whom.
360° surround cooling down to −9 °C — continuously.
Dual applicators and a dedicated Chin applicator for a double chin. The controlled cold specifically targets Apoptosis from fat cells — the body breaks them down over a period of weeks, and the results are permanent.
First fat, then lymph, then skin.
CLATUU → immediately followed by Icoone® or Endospheres® to remove the dead fat cells → if necessary, Exilis® or Volnewmer® at a distance to tighten the skin above the treated area.
Certificate of professional competence V-NISSG, since 2021 in Zurich.
Our team has the Certificate of professional competence according to V-NISSG, with 800+ reviews Rated 5.0 stars. In-house lymphatic therapy – exactly what you need after cryolipolysis.
Rarely on its own. This is how we integrate CLATUU into the body plan.
In the body, the result depends on the sequence. With CLATUU, the step that follows immediately is crucial: the lymphatic system.
Before that
No preparation is usually required beforehand. In the case of very stiff fabric, Icoone® or Endospheres® soften the area beforehand.
Immediately afterwards
-
Icoone® / Endospheres®
Speeds up the removal of dead fat cells via the lymphatic system — this can be done during the same session. The most important step following the cold treatment.
With a gap of at least two weeks
-
Exilis® Body / Volnewmer®
Skin tightening above the area where fat has been removed, should the skin sag following the fat reduction procedure.
-
Double chin: CLATUU Chin + Exilis® Face
Lose fat, tighten skin — a powerful combination for a double chin, with a two-week interval between treatments.
Stubborn belly fat — lose the fat, then tone up.
Free body assessment: check your body composition and skinfold thickness
CLATUU Alpha Abdomen, followed immediately by Icoone® / Endospheres®
Complementary lymphatic treatments to aid drainage
Optional Exilis® Body for skin tightening
Review of results; a second CLATUU session if required
Your personalised plan is drawn up during the free body consultation — the area, skin fold, your current physical condition and your goals determine the number and order of the sessions.
This is how your treatment will proceed.
Mark the area, check for skin folds.
During the free consultation, we will identify the treatment area and check whether there is sufficient skin tissue for the applicator. AURA 3D can be used on request.
Suction, cooling, brief massage.
The applicator gently suctions the fold of skin, then cools it down in a controlled manner. For the first few minutes, you’ll feel a cool, tugging sensation, after which the area goes numb — many people read or relax during this time. Finally, the area is given a brief massage.
No downtime, dismantling over several weeks.
You’ll be able to get back to your normal routine straight away. You may experience redness, swelling or numbness in the treated area for a few days. The fat will be broken down over two to three months — visible results from three to four weeks, with optimal results after two to three months.
Questions about CLATUU Alpha.
The questions we’re asked most often before the first session — answered honestly.
What is cryolipolysis («freezing fat»)?
In cryolipolysis, a fold of fat is drawn into the applicator by gentle suction and cooled in a controlled way. Fat cells react more sensitively to cold than skin and muscles: they die off and the body removes them via the lymph system over eight to twelve weeks. The treated fat cells do not return. The treatment does not require an operation, needles, or downtime.
Does CLATUU hurt?
At first, you’ll feel a cool, tugging sensation, followed by a pulling sensation; then the area goes numb and it’s quite bearable. Afterwards, the area may feel sensitive or numb for a few days.
Is the result really permanent?
Yes. The dead fat cells are broken down and do not return. Important: if you gain weight, the remaining cells may grow again — the best way to maintain the results is to keep your weight stable.
How many sessions will I need?
Approximately per session 20–22 % of fat in the area. Many people see noticeable results after just one session; a second session is possible after four weeks at the earliest.
When will I see results?
The first changes become noticeable after three to four weeks, with the full results visible after two to three months — that’s how long it takes the body to break it down.
How long will the downtime last?
None. You may experience redness, swelling or numbness in the area for a few days — but you’ll be back to your normal routine straight away.
What does CLATUU Alpha cost at alestetics®?
We charge per applicator. Single zone (1 applicator, e.g. double chin or lower abdomen, approximately 60 minutes): CHF 600. Double zone (2 applicators at the same time, e.g. both flanks or both saddlebags): CHF 1'000. 3-session plan with 3 treatments, freely assignable to your zones and valid for 6 months: Single zone CHF 1'500, Double zone CHF 2'500. You can find the complete price list here. We discuss how many zones make sense for you in the free body consultation.
CLATUU or CoolSculpting – what’s the difference?
Both are cryolipolysis using the same principle: drawing in a fold of fat, controlled cooling, and breaking down fat cells. CoolSculpting® is the best-known brand name. CLATUU Alpha® is a medical device that cools the fat deposit from all around (360°), can treat two zones simultaneously, and has its own attachment for double chins. At alestetics®, one zone costs CHF 600, both sides (e.g., the flanks) CHF 1'000.
How much does cryolipolysis cost in Switzerland?
Prices vary greatly. Cosmetic studios offer cryotherapy treatments starting at around CHF 150, while medical cryolipolysis using brand-name equipment like CoolSculpting® usually costs CHF 600 to 800 per area or per side in Zurich. At alestetics®, we treat with CLATUU Alpha®: single area CHF 600, double area (both sides) CHF 1'000, cheaper in the 3-session plan.
Is CLATUU a weight-loss method?
No. It removes localised fat deposits, but is not a substitute for weight loss and is not suitable for obesity. It is ideal for people whose weight is stable, with a BMI of around 25–30.
How does CLATUU differ from liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires anaesthesia and involves a recovery period. CLATUU is non-invasive and does not require anaesthesia; you can resume your normal daily activities straight away — though the results are gradual and are best suited for moderate amounts of fat.
Can a double chin be removed without surgery?
Yes, if it is a fat pad. With our own small double-chin applicator, we treat the area under the chin without surgery and without needles, as a single zone for CHF 600. Many see a noticeable result after just one session; the full result is visible after two to three months. If the skin is rather sagging, we later combine it with skin tightening like Volnewmer®.
When is CLATUU not possible?
In cases of certain cold-related conditions (cryoglobulinaemia, cold haemoglobinuria, Raynaud’s phenomenon), during pregnancy, in the presence of active infections or open wounds in the treatment area, and if the skin fold is too thin for the applicator. If in doubt, we will clarify this during the consultation.
What makes alestetics® different?
We combine CLATUU with lymphatic stimulation immediately afterwards to ensure that fat cells are rapidly broken down — and schedule skin tightening as a separate step. V-NISSG Team, Zurich HB.
Let’s see together whether CLATUU is right for your area.
Imagine the jeans fit again, and the pocket of fat that stayed despite exercise is gone. No surgery. Whether CLATUU is right for your area, we check honestly and without obligation in a free 30-minute consultation.

Katia, Antonia and Alex are incredibly caring, knowledgeable and professional. You never feel like 'just another customer'."

„Very friendly and professional staff, who take the time to carry out a skin analysis and offer valuable advice! I highly recommend it. It was a pleasure to have the AURA 3D skin analysis and to discuss my daily skincare routine."
