Cryolipolysis for thighs in Marseille
Non-surgical medical treatment to slim the thighs and harmonize the silhouette
Fat deposits located on the thighs are a common aesthetic concern, particularly on the inner thighs and saddlebags.
These areas are often resistant to diets and physical activity, even in people with healthy lifestyles.
Cryolipolysis of the thighs is now a non-invasive cosmetic medicine solution that can permanently reduce fat deposits without surgery.
In Marseille, the Phénicia Clinic offers comprehensive and safe medical care for targeted cryolipolysis of the thighs.
Why does fat accumulate on the thighs?
The thighs are an area naturally predisposed to fat storage, for physiological and hormonal reasons. Several factors explain the appearance and persistence of these fat deposits:
- Hormonal factors (particularly in women)
- Genetic predisposition
- Poor venous and lymphatic circulation
- Repeated weight fluctuations
- Prolonged sedentary lifestyle
- Associated presence of cellulite, depending on the case
Contrary to popular belief, localized fat on the thighs does not always disappear with exercise. Some fat cells are particularly resistant, which justifies the use of targeted medical techniques such as cryolipolysis.
How to slim down your thighs without surgery: what are the options?
Depending on the nature of the fat deposits and the quality of the skin, several options can be considered:
- Cryolipolysis of the thighs
- Lipolytic injections (as medically indicated)
- Radiofrequency to improve skin tone
- Thigh liposuction, as a last resort
When fat is localized, moderate, and the skin retains good elasticity, cryolipolysis is a credible alternative to surgery.
Cryolipolysis of the thighs: medical principle
How does cryolipolysis work?
Cryolipolysis is based on a scientific principle:
Fat cells (adipocytes) are sensitive to intense cold, unlike surrounding tissues (skin, muscles, nerves).
The treatment involves applying controlled cold to the thigh area, causing:
- the crystallization of fat cells,
- their gradual destruction,
- then their natural elimination by the lymphatic system.
Objectives of thigh treatment
- Targeted reduction of fat volume
- Slimming of the inner or outer thighs
- Improved curvature
- Gradual and natural results, without surgery

How a cryolipolysis session for the thighs is performed at the Phénicia Clinic
Medical consultation
The consultation allows for the evaluation of:
- the thickness of the fatty tissue,
- skin quality,
- the areas to be treated,
- the patient's expectations.
Preparing the area
The skin is cleansed and then protected with a cryoprotective wipe, ensuring even and safe diffusion of the cold.
Cold treatment
The Phénicia Clinic uses Cristal Pro technology by Deleo, a latest-generation medical cryolipolysis device manufactured in France, capable of reaching a controlled temperature of up to –12°C.
The applicator sucks and stabilizes the fat fold on the thigh.
A feeling of tension and coldness is felt at first, then quickly fades away, giving way to temporary numbness.
End of session and drainage
A draining massage is performed to optimize the elimination of fat cells.
Additional lymphatic drainage may be recommended depending on the profile.
