HIFEM + Cryolipolysis: Why the Combination Beats Either Alone
If you’re into body contouring, you’ve probably heard of HIFEM (muscle building) and cryolipolysis (fat freezing). The question: can you use them together?
The short answer: Yes. And many experts actually recommend it.
Here’s why.
They Target Different ThingsTechnologyTargetsResultCryolipolysisFat cells~20-25% fat reductionHIFEMMuscle tissueMuscle growth + fat loss
Cryolipolysis freezes and kills fat cells. HIFEM builds muscle with 30,000+ contractions per session. They don’t compete — they complement.
The Synergy Effect
Cryolipolysis removes stubborn fat.
HIFEM defines the muscle underneath.
Result: not just thinner, but more toned and sculpted.
The Data

Which Order?
Clinical recommendation:
Cryolipolysis first.
Wait 7 days.
HIFEM sessions: 4 over 2 weeks.
Why? Removing fat first lets HIFEM work on a slimmer foundation — and muscle definition becomes more visible.
Who Is It For?
People close to target weight
Those with stubborn fat pockets
Anyone wanting both fat loss AND muscle definition
Salon owners looking to increase revenue per client
The Business Case
Offering both can yield 30% higher average revenue per client than offering either alone. And with satisfaction at 75% vs 35-50% for single treatments, it’s a win-win.
