Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze

No. Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze is a body contouring treatment for clients who are close to their target weight but want to reduce specific stubborn areas. It is not intended for significant weight loss.

You may begin to notice changes from around 4 weeks. Full results are typically visible between 8–12 weeks as the body completes the elimination process.

After Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze, avoid alcohol and caffeine for 48 hours. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water on the day of treatment and maintain good hydration for the following few days to support lymphatic drainage. Light exercise, such as 10–20 minutes of walking within 12 hours of treatment, is recommended to stimulate circulation. Maintain a balanced lifestyle following treatment. While treated fat cells are permanently reduced, overall lifestyle balance supports long-term results. If the treated area feels sensitive, aloe vera gel may be applied for comfort.

Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment. Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Avoid heavy or high-fat meals on the day of treatment. A full consultation will be carried out prior to treatment to ensure suitability.

Common temporary side effects include redness, swelling and mild bruising around the treated area. You may also experience temporary numbness or reduced sensation in the area, which can last several weeks. Some clients report mild fatigue or a headache within the first 24 hours. In rare cases, a superficial cold injury may occur. Proper assessment and professional application significantly reduce this risk. If you experience anything concerning, you should contact the clinic.

During treatment, you may feel firm suction and intense cold as the applicator draws the area into position. After several minutes, the area becomes numb, making the treatment comfortable for most clients. After treatment, the area may feel tender or sensitive. Some clients describe a dull aching sensation that can last up to two to three weeks before settling.

A typical Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze session lasts around 40 minutes per area. If multiple areas are being treated, your appointment time will be adjusted accordingly.

Some clients achieve their desired result after one session. However, depending on the treatment area and your goals, 2–3 sessions per area may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart. Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed during consultation.

Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze can reduce approximately 20–22% of fat in the treated area per session. Results develop gradually over several weeks as your body processes and removes the treated fat cells.

Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat. The treatment works by cooling fat cells to a controlled temperature, causing them to crystallise and break down. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these fat cells through the lymphatic system. It is designed for targeted fat reduction, not overall weight loss.

Both treatments use cryolipolysis (controlled cooling) to target and reduce stubborn fat cells without surgery. Standard Fat Freeze uses traditional applicators that cool the treatment area from two sides. It may achieve up to 22% of fat reduction in the treated area per session. Fat Freeze 360 uses an advanced wraparound metal applicator that delivers cooling from multiple angles (360 degrees). Because the fat is cooled more evenly and comprehensively, it may achieve up to 40% fat reduction per treated area in a single session. The 360° design also allows better contact with curved or awkward areas, which can improve treatment precision and coverage. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable option based on your body shape, goals, and treatment area.
