With the rising popularity of non-invasive fat reduction, medical tourists from around the globe are heading to South Korea for Cryolipolysis—commonly known by the brand name CoolSculpting. What makes Korea such an attractive destination is not just the advanced technology and skilled professionals, but also the all-inclusive Cryolipolysis packages tailored specifically for international patients.
If you’re considering flying to Seoul for fat-freezing, here’s a breakdown of what’s typically included in Cryolipolysis medical tourism packages in Korea, and what to expect.
🧊 What Is Cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. In Korea, it’s performed using advanced devices like:
- CoolSculpting Elite
- Clatuu Alpha
- CoolTech Define
Results typically appear 1–3 months after treatment, with little to no downtime, making it ideal for travelers.
🧳 What’s Typically Included in Cryolipolysis Packages for Medical Tourists?
Korean clinics often bundle treatments into convenient, value-driven packages. Here’s what a comprehensive Cryolipolysis package may include:
1. ✅ Pre-Trip Online Consultation
Before you arrive, most clinics offer a free online consultation to:
- Assess your treatment goals
- Recommend the number of areas/sessions
- Estimate pricing and travel duration
- Answer questions about the process
Languages supported: English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian
2. 🧑⚕️ Personalized Body Assessment
When you arrive in Korea, you’ll meet with a medical professional who will:
- Conduct a body scan or manual assessment
- Mark treatment zones (abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, etc.)
- Explain the number of applicators needed
- Finalize your customized plan
💡 Some clinics use 3D imaging tools to simulate your “before and after” body contours.
3. 🧊 Cryolipolysis Procedure (1–5 Areas)
Your session may include treatment on one or more areas:
- Abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Inner or outer thighs

Each applicator or area is typically priced separately, but packages may include 2–4 zones for a flat rate.
4. 🛌 Post-Treatment Recovery Options
Many clinics offer supportive recovery services such as:

- Cooling or LED therapy to reduce swelling or bruising
These are often included or offered at a discounted rate in packages.
