Hydrolipoclasia in Medellín
Hidro Slim, also known as hydrolipoclasia, is a non-surgical treatment for localized fat. A solution is infiltrated into the area to be treated and then low-frequency ultrasound is applied, which breaks down the fat cells so the body eliminates them through the lymphatic system.
It is a body contouring treatment, not a weight-loss treatment: it addresses the deposits of fat that stay put despite diet and exercise, in a specific area.
Benefits of Hidro Slim
It targets localized fat
It acts directly on the areas where fat accumulates, which is what helps define the silhouette in a specific place rather than overall.
It shapes the body contour
It reduces measurements and works on the shape of the treated area, with the aim of a result that looks proportionate rather than obvious.
It stimulates lymphatic drainage
It supports elimination through the lymphatic system, which is the route the body uses to clear the broken-down fat after the session.
It works on skin quality
It can help with the appearance of cellulite and with firmness in the treated areas, which is why it is often combined with radiofrequency.
Where Hidro Slim can be applied
Hidro Slim – hydrolipoclasia is designed for localized fat in areas where the tissue is hard to reduce with diet and exercise alone. Because it is applied to a specific area, it is used to shape the contour of the body and the face rather than to lose weight.

Questions?
Frequently asked questions about Hidro Slim
How many sessions are needed?
Changes can be visible from the first session, but depending on how much localized fat there is, 3 to 5 sessions is the usual range for a result that holds.
Does Hidro Slim hurt?
It is minimally invasive and generally well tolerated. There can be a sensation of pressure or mild discomfort while it is being applied.
How long does the procedure take?
Each session of Hidro Slim – hydrolipoclasia takes around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Who is this treatment for?
It is indicated for people with localized fat who want to reduce measurements without surgery. 🔴 It is not a weight-loss treatment: it shapes the body contour, and it does not replace diet or exercise.
What is the aftercare?
After the procedure you will be asked to:
- Wear a compression garment on the treated area.
- Avoid sun exposure and intense heat for the first few days.
- Keep well hydrated, which is how the body clears what has been broken down.
- Have lymphatic drainage sessions to support that process and reduce swelling.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery is quick and needs no time off. You can go back to your usual activities the same day, though it is better to avoid intense exercise for the first 48 hours.
Are the results permanent?
The fat cells eliminated do not come back, but the remaining ones can expand if you gain weight afterwards. The result holds alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity, not instead of them.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It is often combined with lymphatic drainage, reducing massage and radiofrequency, which work on skin firmness in the same area.
