Scizer is a high-intensity focused ultrasound technology combined with multipolar radiofrequency that eliminates fat cells and tightens skin simultaneously. If you’re wondering what Scizer is exactly, the answer lies in its dual capability: it destroys fat through ultrasonic cavitation while the radiofrequency stimulates new collagen to improve skin firmness. How Scizer works is straightforward: it emits ultrasound at specific frequencies that generate micro-bubbles in the adipose tissue, which implode, destroying fat cells without affecting surrounding tissues. The benefits of Scizer include visible results from the first session, zero recovery time, and a tightening effect that prevents sagging. In this article, I will explain everything about this technology that is transforming body treatments in Colombia.
If you’ve spent years trying to eliminate that localized fat on your abdomen or flanks with diet and exercise without success, you’ve probably considered surgical options. Scizer offers an alternative without a scalpel, without anesthesia, and without lost recovery time.
What Exactly is Scizer?
Scizer is a certified medical system that combines two technologies in a single treatment: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for fat cell destruction, and multipolar radiofrequency for skin tightening. Unlike traditional ultrasound used in medical diagnosis, Scizer’s therapeutic ultrasound operates at specific frequencies and intensities designed to selectively affect adipose tissue.
The technology was developed for aesthetic body medicine with FDA certification that validates its safety and efficacy. The device works through a handpiece that glides over the skin, applying controlled energy at different depths: between 13-15mm to reach the subcutaneous fat layer where problematic deposits accumulate.
What differentiates Scizer from other technologies is its dual mechanism: while ultrasonic cavitation breaks fat cells, the radiofrequency heats the deep dermis, stimulating fibroblasts that produce new collagen and elastin. This process explains why the results include not only contour reduction but also visible improvement in skin texture and firmness.

Scizer: How It Works Step by Step
How Scizer works is better understood by separating its two mechanisms of action that work simultaneously during each session.
1. Ultrasonic Cavitation: Selective Fat Destruction
The high-intensity ultrasound generates pressure waves that create gas micro-bubbles within the adipose tissue. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When these micro-bubbles reach a certain size, they implode violently, generating mechanical forces that rupture the membrane of fat cells.
The process is selective because the frequency used (40 kHz) mainly affects fatty tissue, which has a different density and composition than muscle, nerves, or blood vessels. The destroyed fat cells release their content (triglycerides) into the interstitial space, where the lymphatic system collects and transports them to the liver for normal metabolism.
This natural elimination takes between 7-14 days, which is why the results continue to improve during the weeks following the treatment. It is not instantaneous but progressive and visible.
2. Multipolar Radiofrequency: Skin Tightening
While the ultrasound works in the fat layer, the multipolar radiofrequency heats the deep dermal layers up to 40-45°C. This controlled heating generates two effects:
Immediate effect: existing collagen fibers contract due to thermal action, producing visible tightening from the first session. It’s like when you heat meat and it contracts.
Progressive effect: the heat acts as a “controlled injury” signal that activates fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells). During the following 4-6 weeks, these fibroblasts manufacture new type I and III collagen, improving the thickness, density, and quality of the dermis. The result is firmer, thicker skin with better texture.
This radiofrequency component is what differentiates Scizer from standard cavitation treatments that only destroy fat but can worsen the appearance of sagging when reducing volume without tightening the skin.
3. Natural Elimination of Adipose Tissue
The destroyed fat cells don’t magically disappear. Their content (lipids) becomes an emulsion that the lymphatic system drains progressively. The complete process takes between 2-4 weeks depending on your individual metabolism, lymphatic function, and post-treatment habits.
This is why we recommend drinking 2-3 liters of water daily after each session and walking 20-30 minutes: both measures accelerate lymphatic drainage. This is also why we space sessions one month apart, to give the body time to completely eliminate the destroyed fat before doing the next session.
Benefits of Scizer to Redefine Your Body
The first benefit of Scizer is immediate and progressive contour reduction. From the first session, you will notice a reduction in swelling in the treated area. Between 7-14 days later, you begin to see a clear reduction in centimeters that continues to improve during the following month. Patients typically lose between 2-4 centimeters in the first session, with an accumulated reduction of 8-12 centimeters after the complete protocol of 2 spaced sessions.
Another crucial benefit is zero recovery time. There is no surgery, no anesthesia, no wounds. You leave the session and immediately return to work, drive, do light exercise. There may be slight redness for 1-2 hours and mild sensitivity to touch for 24-48 hours, but nothing that interrupts your normal life. This contrasts radically with liposuction, which requires 2-4 weeks of recovery with pain, bruising, and restrictions.
The additional tightening effect on the skin is what makes Scizer superior to other non-invasive options. Treatments that only destroy fat (like standard cavitation or cryolipolysis) can leave sagging skin when you reduce volume without improving skin quality. Scizer addresses both problems simultaneously: it reduces fat AND tightens skin. 87% of my patients report that their skin looks firmer after treatment, not just thinner.
The personalization of the treatment according to your anatomy is another benefit. Each session covers 12 squares of 10×10 cm that I strategically distribute according to your problem areas and objectives. It’s not a generic protocol: I specifically design where to apply each square to maximize the aesthetic result.
The treatment is comfortable and tolerable. The sensation during the session is moderate heat, more intense during the radiofrequency phase. Tolerability is high (8/10 according to patient reports). It does not require anesthesia or sedation. You can be on your phone, listen to music, or simply relax during the 60-90 minutes that each session lasts.
Finally, Scizer complements your healthy habits instead of replacing them. It is not a magic solution for obesity nor a substitute for exercise and a balanced diet. It is a tool to eliminate those localized fat deposits that persist despite your efforts. If you already eat reasonably well and move regularly but have resistant areas, Scizer is exactly what you need.
Areas Treatable with Scizer
Scizer Abdomen: The Most Requested Area
The abdomen receives over 60% of consultations for Scizer. Abdominal fat accumulation is extremely common post-pregnancy, with hormonal changes, or simply due to the genetic distribution of adipose tissue. Scizer is particularly effective on subcutaneous fat in the lower and middle abdomen.
Important: Scizer does NOT work on visceral fat (internal, around organs). If your “belly” is hard and you can’t pinch it, it’s visceral fat that only responds to general weight loss through diet and exercise. Scizer works on subcutaneous fat that you CAN pinch.
Typical results on the abdomen after 2 sessions: reduction of 8-10 centimeters in contour (range 6-12 cm depending on initial adipose tissue thickness). The additional tightening effect improves the appearance of skin that may have stretched due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
Flanks and “Love Handles”
The flanks (lateral area of the torso, popularly called “love handles” or “spare tires”) respond excellently to Scizer because the fat here is more superficial and localized. It’s a favorite area for men who accumulate fat in an android pattern (waist).
Typical reduction in bilateral flanks: 5-7 centimeters after 2 sessions. The results are especially noticeable in people who already have a relatively flat abdomen but maintain these lateral deposits that alter their waist silhouette.
Inner and Outer Thighs
The thighs are a more challenging area because the fat tends to be more diffuse and deep. However, they are completely treatable with an adjusted protocol. Inner thighs are especially requested by women who want to eliminate chafing between the legs or improve the space between thighs.
Typical reduction: 3-5 centimeters per thigh after 2 sessions. The additional benefit here is improvement in the appearance of cellulite thanks to the radiofrequency component that improves skin texture and thickness.
Upper Arms (Triceps)
The arms require a careful protocol because the skin here is thinner. Accumulation in the back of the arm (triceps) is common after significant weight loss or with natural aging. Scizer can reduce both the fat and improve skin laxity.
Typical reduction: 3-4 centimeters per arm in circumference. Especially effective in people who have lost weight but maintain “bat wings” that prevent them from wearing sleeveless blouses.
Lower Back (Bra Bulges)
The lower back (subscapular region, where the bra marks) is a frustrating area because you don’t see it yourself but others do. This accumulation protrudes with tight clothing and is difficult to eliminate with exercise.
Scizer works excellently here because the fat is superficial. Typical reduction: 4-6 centimeters after 2 sessions. The results are very satisfying because they directly impact how clothing fits.
Double Chin (Off-label Use)
The double chin can be treated with Scizer although it is not the primary area. It requires adjustments in parameters and more careful application due to proximity to important neck structures. Effective for submental fat that creates a poorly defined profile.

Scizer Contraindications: Who Should NOT Use This Treatment
I’ll be direct: in 15-20% of assessments, I tell the patient that Scizer is NOT their best option. I prefer your initial frustration for not being a candidate over your later frustration for insufficient results after investing money.
Absolute Contraindications (You CANNOT receive Scizer)
- Pregnancy or active breastfeeding: effects on fetus/baby not studied
- Pacemaker or implanted electronic devices: radiofrequency may interfere
- Active cancer or undergoing oncology treatment: could stimulate cancer cells
- Severe liver diseases: liver must metabolize released fat
- Coagulation problems or recent thrombosis: risk of complications
- Active infections in the area to be treated: may worsen the infectious condition
Relative Contraindications (evaluate case by case)
- Morbid obesity (BMI >35): Scizer is not for general weight loss
- Uncontrolled diabetes: healing and response may be compromised
- Significant kidney problems: renal function must be able to handle metabolites
- Uncontrolled hypertension: procedure generates mild cardiovascular stress
Ideal Candidates for Scizer
You are an ideal candidate if you meet these criteria:
- BMI between 20-32: close to your ideal weight with specific localized fat
- Fat you can pinch: Scizer works on subcutaneous fat, not visceral
- Skin with reasonable elasticity: although radiofrequency helps, very damaged skin has limits
- Realistic expectations: you expect significant reduction but not a magical transformation
- Commitment to the protocol: you will complete the recommended 2 sessions
- Minimally healthy lifestyle habits: you don’t eat in extreme excess nor are completely sedentary
If your “belly” is hard like a basketball and you can’t pinch the skin, it’s internal visceral fat. Scizer does NOT work there. You need general weight loss first.
How Many Scizer Sessions Do I Need?
I recommend 2 sessions spaced one month apart for optimal results. This frequency allows your body to completely eliminate the fat cells destroyed in the first session before applying the second.
Each session covers 12 squares of 10×10 centimeters ($90,000 per square, $900,000 for the complete session). During your initial assessment, I design the specific distribution of these squares according to your problem areas.
| Body Area | Typical Squares per Session | Recommended Sessions | Total Investment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Abdomen | 12 | 2 | $1,800,000 |
| Bilateral Flanks | 8-10 | 2 | $1,800,000 |
| Thighs (both) | 12 | 2 | $1,800,000 |
| Combination of areas | 12 distributed | 2 | $1,800,000 |
Why space each month and not each week? Because the destroyed fat cells are eliminated progressively over 2-4 weeks. Doing sessions too close together does not accelerate results, it only wastes money. Monthly spacing is optimal according to clinical evidence and my experience with over 320 treated cases.
Some patients ask if they can do only 1 session to “try.” You can, but you will see a partial result. It’s like going to the gym for 1 month and expecting a fitness body. It works better as a complete protocol of 2 sessions. Check the price of Scizer in Bogotá with investment details and payment options.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Scizer
Does Scizer really work?
Yes, with documented evidence. In my over 320 treated cases, the average reduction in the abdomen is 9.2 centimeters after 2 sessions. It works by destroying fat cells through verifiable ultrasonic cavitation. It is not a placebo nor marketing.
Does the Scizer treatment hurt?
There is no pain. Sensation of moderate heat during application, more intense in the radiofrequency phase. Tolerability of 8/10 according to patients. Does not require anesthesia. Post-treatment only mild sensitivity to touch for 24-48 hours.
How long does a Scizer session last?
Between 60-90 minutes depending on the area and number of squares to apply. A complete abdomen typically takes 75 minutes. Includes preparation, treatment application, and post-session recommendations.
When will I see results with Scizer?
Initial changes in 7-14 days (reduced swelling and mild reduction). Noticeable reduction after the first session in week 3-4. Maximum result 4-6 weeks after the second session when new collagen is completely formed.
Are Scizer results permanent?
The destroyed fat cells do not regenerate. However, the remaining cells can grow if you gain weight. With stable weight (±3 kg), results are maintained for years. I recommend an optional annual maintenance session.
Can I exercise after Scizer?
Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours. After that, moderate exercise is beneficial because it accelerates the elimination of destroyed fat. Walking 20-30 minutes daily is recommended from day 1. Exercise does not interfere with results, it enhances them.
Does Scizer eliminate cellulite?
Scizer is NOT a primary anti-cellulite treatment, but the radiofrequency component improves the appearance of cellulite by tightening the skin and improving texture. For severe cellulite, I recommend specific treatments like Cellfina or subcision.
Scizer or Cryolipolysis: which is better?
It depends on the case. Scizer: results in 1-2 weeks, tightening effect included, no bruising. Cryolipolysis: results in 8-12 weeks, no tightening effect, frequent bruising. Read my complete comparison Scizer vs cryolipolysis to decide better.
How much does Scizer cost?
$900,000 per session (12 squares of 10×10 cm). Complete protocol of 2 sessions: $1,800,000. Includes initial assessment, measurements, photographs, follow-up. Payment options: full payment in advance, per session, or credit card financing.
Does Scizer have side effects?
Common temporary effects: redness 1-2 hours, mild sensitivity 24-48 hours, increased thirst (normal, drink water). Rare: temporary numbness 72 hours. No permanent side effects with correct use.
Conclusion: Is Scizer the Right Treatment for You?
Scizer is an excellent option if you have specific localized fat that resists diet and exercise, you are close to your ideal weight (BMI <32), and you seek results without surgery or lost recovery time. The dual benefit of fat reduction + skin tightening makes it superior to alternatives that only address one aspect.
It is not for you if you seek general weight loss, have morbid obesity, or expect a complete body transformation without changing habits. Scizer is a tool for localized remodeling, not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
If you’ve made it this far, Scizer is probably exactly what you’ve been looking for. The next step is an assessment where we evaluate your specific case, measure areas, discuss realistic expectations, and design a personalized protocol.
Schedule your no-cost assessment. There is no commitment, no pressure. Only honest information about whether Scizer is right for you and what results you can realistically expect.
