The body contouring market is projected to reach $12.6 billion globally by 2028, driven by increasing demand for non-invasive fat reduction, skin tightening, and cellulite treatment. For entrepreneurs and aesthetic professionals, this represents one of the most attractive business opportunities in the wellness industry.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know about starting a body contouring business with Cryoskin® or icoone® technology, from initial planning to your first paying client.
Step 1: Understand the Market Opportunity
Before investing in equipment, understand why body contouring is such a compelling business:
- Growing demand: Non-invasive body contouring procedures grew 43% from 2019 to 2024 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons
- High margins: Treatment costs are minimal (a few dollars per session) while prices range from $200 to $500+
- Recurring revenue: Most protocols require 5 to 12 sessions, creating predictable income
- Low overhead: No medical director required for Cryoskin®, minimal staffing needs
- GLP-1 tailwind: Millions of Ozempic/Wegovy users need skin tightening after weight loss
Step 2: Choose Your Device
The device you choose will define your service menu, pricing, and competitive positioning. Here are the two best options on the market:
Cryoskin® — The Versatile Workhorse
Best for practices that want a single device covering fat reduction, skin tightening, and facial rejuvenation. Starting at $39,990 for the Dynamic model. No medical director required. 20–30 minute treatments. The most popular body contouring device in the luxury aesthetic market.
icoone® — The Luxury Differentiator
Best for practices targeting the premium market with advanced skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and lymphatic drainage. Starting at $49,990 for the LASER MED. FDA-cleared. Used by Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and 210+ cruise ships. Only ~100 devices in the U.S., creating a massive first-mover advantage.
The Power Combination
Many of DNA Distribution’s most successful partners offer both Cryoskin® and icoone®. Cryoskin® handles fat reduction and facial treatments while icoone® excels at skin tightening, cellulite, and lymphatic drainage. Together, they create a comprehensive body contouring menu that no competitor can match.
Step 3: Secure Financing
You do not need $40,000 to $100,000 in cash to get started. DNA Distribution offers premium financing through Brickhouse Capital:
- $0 down payment
- 60-month terms
- No credit impact to apply
- Qualification: 670+ credit score, 2+ years in business, $8,000+ monthly deposits
- Section 179 tax deduction eligible (potentially saving 30–40% of device cost)
For newer businesses, in-house financing is available for Cryoskin®: 50% down with 6 or 12-month terms.
Step 4: Set Up Your Space
Body contouring does not require a massive facility. Here is what you need:
- Treatment room: A clean, private room with a treatment bed, good lighting, and climate control
- Reception area: A welcoming space for client check-in and consultation
- Storage: Minimal, as both devices are compact and self-contained
- Utilities: Standard electrical outlets (no special power requirements)
Many successful body contouring businesses operate from as little as 200 to 400 square feet of dedicated treatment space.
Step 5: Complete Training
DNA Distribution provides comprehensive training with every device purchase:
- Treatment protocols for every service
- Client consultation and assessment techniques
- Pricing and packaging strategies
- Before-and-after photography best practices
- Safety protocols and contraindications
Training can be completed at DNA Distribution’s Miami headquarters or on-site at your location.
Step 6: Launch with the 30-Client Marketing Guarantee

Step 7: Scale and Grow
Once your body contouring business is established, there are several paths to growth:
- Add the second device. If you started with Cryoskin®, add icoone® (or vice versa) to expand your service menu
- Hire additional technicians. More staff means more treatments per day
- Add complementary services. IV therapy, wellness coaching, skincare products
- Open additional locations. Replicate your success in new markets
- Build package programs. Monthly memberships and multi-session packages create recurring revenue
