Cryolipolysis (Coolsculpting) in Theodore Droubi
About the clinic
Cryolipolysis at the Theodore Droubi clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offers a non-surgical way to reduce stubborn fat. This procedure uses controlled cold temperatures to break down fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin. It is an ideal choice for patients seeking body contouring without the risks of surgery or anesthesia.
The Coolsculpting Method
Also known as Cool Sculpting or Escultura a Frio, this method targets localized fat deposits. A specialized applicator cools the fat to a temperature that triggers cell death. Over the following weeks, the body naturally processes and removes these dead cells. Each session with an applicator typically lasts about one hour.
During the treatment, patients remain comfortable and alert. Most people spend the time reading, using their smartphones, or watching TV. Because the process is non-invasive, it requires no incisions and no recovery time. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic.
Results and Expectations
Patients can expect a gradual change in their body shape rather than an instant fix. The body takes time to clear the treated fat cells.
- Fat Reduction: Most areas see about a 20% reduction in fat thickness per session.
- Timeline: Full results usually appear between 4 and 6 months after the procedure.
- Sensations: Some patients feel minor soreness in the treated area, but this fades quickly.
Patient Candidacy
This treatment works best for individuals at a healthy, normal weight with elastic skin. It is not a weight-loss solution for obesity. People with specific cold-related conditions, such as cold urticaria or cryoglobulinemia, should avoid this procedure. A plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience and 60,000+ patients treated oversees the care at this facility.
Why Choose Rio de Janeiro for Treatment
The clinic is located in the Copacabana district of Rio de Janeiro. It holds membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). This ensures that the facility follows recognized safety standards for cosmetic procedures. The clinic also provides international patient services to help those traveling from abroad.

Theodore Droubi: more details about the clinic
Experience and Accreditations
The clinic has treated over 60,000 patients from around the world. Dr. Theodore Droubi leads the practice with around 30 years of medical experience. He is a member of the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery), the clinic's primary professional accreditation.
The medical team includes two doctors who specialize in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care. Dr. Droubi trained at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He then specialized at the Ivo Pitanguy School, a premier institution for plastic surgery training.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The clinic offers surgical options for the face, breasts, and body. Surgeons address concerns such as prominent ears, breast development issues, and localized fat. The surgical department performs:
- Rhinoplasty and chin surgery for facial harmony
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and facelifts
- Breast reduction, augmentation, and reconstruction
- High Definition Liposuction (Lipo HD) with ultrasound and laser technology
- Gynecomastia surgery to reduce male breast tissue
Body contouring reshapes the trunk and limbs through various surgical techniques. Surgeons use Vibrolipo and Vaser technologies for fat removal and skin tightening. These methods improve precision and can shorten recovery compared to traditional techniques.
Intimate Surgery and Female Health
Specialists perform delicate procedures for female genital aesthetics. These surgeries often address physical discomfort or functional concerns alongside aesthetic goals. Options include:
- Labiaplasty to reduce the size of the labia minora or majora
- Vaginoplasty to correct vaginal laxity
- Perineoplasty for structural repair and refinement
- Clitoral hood reduction and mons pubis volume reduction
Intimate surgeries typically take 1–2 hours under general or regional anesthesia. Most patients return to work within 7–14 days. The clinic advises against sexual relations for eight weeks after surgery to allow proper tissue healing.
Minimally Invasive Treatments
The clinic offers non-surgical alternatives for skin rejuvenation or fat reduction. These treatments are performed in an outpatient setting without traditional surgery. Options include:
- Lipólise – a 25-minute laser-based treatment for non-surgical fat reduction
- Injectable treatments using Botox® and Prosign® brands
- Diamond microdermabrasion for skin resurfacing
- Chemical peels and laser facial renewal
The non-surgical fat reduction program shows visible results in about six weeks. Since these procedures are minimally invasive, they require little to no downtime.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats patients from various regions and maintains a multilingual environment. The medical team provides support and consultations in four languages:
- English
- French
- Arabic
- Portuguese
During the consultation, the surgeon creates a detailed treatment plan. This covers surgical steps, anesthesia types, and recovery expectations. All pre-operative instructions – including smoking cessation and medication management – are provided in the patient's preferred language.
