Fat Freezing (also called cryolipolysis) is a non-invasive treatment that targets stubborn pockets of fat by safely cooling them to break down fat cells. It’s a popular alternative to surgery for reducing unwanted fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and chin.

The fat cells are gradually eliminated by your body’s natural processes, leaving a slimmer, more contoured appearance over time.

How Does It Work?

During the treatment, a specialised applicator suctions and cools the targeted area to temperatures that freeze fat cells without harming surrounding skin or tissue.

Once frozen, these fat cells crystallise and die. Over the following weeks, your body naturally processes and removes them. Treatments usually last 30 to 60 minutes per area.

Most clients begin to notice visible fat reduction after 4 to 6 weeks, with full results showing around 12 weeks post treatment.

 

Who Is It For?

Fat Freezing is ideal for people who are close to their ideal weight but have small areas of stubborn fat that won’t shift despite diet and exercise.

It’s suitable for most skin types and body areas but is not a weight loss solution or suitable for people with certain medical conditions. We’ll assess your suitability during a consultation.

What to Expect

During the session, the applicator is applied to the treatment area with a cooling sensation and gentle suction. Most clients find it comfortable, though some experience mild pulling or tingling.

After treatment, the area may feel numb or slightly swollen, with some temporary redness or bruising. These effects usually resolve within a few days.

There’s no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.

FAQs

1. How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see results after one session, some opt for additional treatments for optimal results.

2. Is Fat Freezing painful?
It’s generally well tolerated. You may feel mild suction and cold at first, but this usually fades within minutes.

3. When will I see results?
Visible fat reduction typically starts around 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, with full results at about 12 weeks.

4. Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, swelling, numbness, or bruising can occur but usually resolve quickly. Other side effects are rare and discussed in your consultation.

5. Can Fat Freezing help with weight loss?
No. It targets specific pockets of fat and is best for contouring, not overall weight loss.
