Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze

Following your Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) treatment, it is important to care for your body correctly to maximise your results and support your body's natural fat elimination process. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: Redness in the treated area. Mild swelling. Tenderness or sensitivity. Temporary bruising. Numbness or tingling. A firm or slightly swollen feeling beneath the skin. Mild aching or cramping, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. These reactions are expected and usually settle over the following few days to several weeks. Temporary numbness can occasionally last for a few weeks as the nerves recover. To support your recovery and enhance your results: Drink plenty of water to help support your body's natural lymphatic system. Return to your normal daily activities if you feel comfortable, as there is little to no downtime. Continue eating a healthy, balanced diet. Avoid touching or excessively rubbing the treated area unless instructed by your practitioner. For the first 24–48 hours: Drink at least 2 litres of water per day to support fat metabolism and hydration. Avoid excessive alcohol, as it may slow your body's natural elimination processes. Limit caffeine if possible and continue to stay well hydrated. Avoid hot baths, hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms if the treated area feels tender. Wear loose, comfortable clothing if the area feels sensitive. For the following few weeks: Maintain a healthy, balanced diet to help optimise your results. Continue regular physical activity and exercise. Avoid significant weight gain, as this may reduce the overall effectiveness of your treatment. Continue drinking plenty of water each day. Attend any recommended review appointments. Cryolipolysis permanently destroys targeted fat cells, which are then naturally removed by your body's lymphatic system over the following weeks. Most clients begin to notice improvements within 4–6 weeks, with optimal results typically visible after 8–12 weeks. Depending on the area being treated and your desired outcome, additional treatments may be recommended. Cryolipolysis is designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. To maximise and maintain your results: Maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Stay well hydrated. Maintain a stable body weight. Follow your personalised treatment plan as recommended by your practitioner. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your healing or experience: Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. Excessive swelling or increasing pain. Blistering. Delayed healing. Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. Increase your water intake and aim to drink 1.5–2 litres of water in the 24 hours before your treatment. Well-hydrated tissue responds better to treatment and supports your body's natural lymphatic system. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as it can contribute to dehydration. Avoid excessive caffeine on the day of treatment and ensure you remain well hydrated. Eat a light, healthy meal before your appointment. Avoid attending on an empty stomach. Avoid heavy or high-fat meals immediately before treatment. Do not apply lotions, oils, creams or fake tan to the treatment area on the day of your appointment. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area and will be comfortable after your treatment. Inform your practitioner if you have experienced any recent illness, changes to your medical history or changes to your medications. Please advise your practitioner if you have any cold-related conditions, such as cold urticaria, cryoglobulinaemia or paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria, as these conditions may make Cryolipolysis unsuitable. Inform your practitioner if you have hernias, previous surgery, metal implants or reduced sensation in the treatment area. Avoid excessive sun exposure, sunburn or heat treatments if the treatment area is irritated or inflamed before your appointment. If the treatment area develops broken skin, infection, rashes, eczema flare-ups or irritation**, please contact the clinic as your treatment may need to be postponed. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess the areas you would like to treat, confirm your suitability for Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) and create a personalised treatment plan based on your body shape and goals. You will also receive advice on hydration, nutrition and lifestyle to help maximise your results.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes a full body assessment, discussion of your treatment goals and a personalised Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) treatment plan tailored to your needs. FREE Telephone Consultation – Ideal if you'd like to discuss the treatment, ask questions and find out whether Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) is right for you before booking.

A consultation is an essential part of your Cryolipolysis (Fat Freeze) treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your treatment goals, discuss your medical history and determine whether Cryolipolysis is the most suitable treatment for you. We will review your: Medical history and current medications. Lifestyle, diet and exercise routine. Areas you would like to treat. The amount and type of stubborn fat present. Treatment goals and expectations. Any contraindications that may affect your suitability. Your practitioner will explain how Cryolipolysis works, discuss the expected results, treatment process, recovery and any potential risks, before answering any questions you may have. Measurements and photographs may also be taken to help monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey. For your appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Please arrive well hydrated and avoid applying lotions, oils or creams to the area being treated. Every body is different, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual goals. We will recommend the most appropriate treatment areas, the number of sessions likely to be required and provide lifestyle advice to help you achieve and maintain the best possible results.

Staying well hydrated after your Fat Freeze treatment is important, as it helps support your body's natural lymphatic and metabolic processes while the treated fat cells are gradually eliminated. We recommend: Plenty of water throughout the day (aim for at least 2 litres unless advised otherwise by your doctor), herbal teas, decaff tea and coffee, soda water, sparkling water, sugar-free squash, low-sugar electrolyte drinks if required. For best results, limit/no alcohol, sugary fizzy drinks, excessive caffeine, high-calorie beverages for the first 24–48 hours. Combining your Fat Freeze treatment with good hydration, a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise will help optimise your body contouring results and support overall health. If you have any medical conditions affecting your fluid intake, please follow the advice of your healthcare professional.

No. Fat Freeze (cryolipolysis) is designed to reduce **subcutaneous fat**, which is the layer of fat located just beneath the skin that can be pinched. It is effective for contouring stubborn areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs and arms. Visceral fat, which surrounds the internal organs deep within the abdomen, cannot be directly treated with Fat Freeze. However, combining Fat Freeze with a calorie-controlled diet, regular exercise and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce visceral fat while also improving the appearance of stubborn subcutaneous fat deposits. Fat Freeze is a body contouring treatment rather than a weight-loss procedure and is most suitable for clients who are close to their ideal weight but wish to target localised areas of resistant fat. By combining treatment with healthy lifestyle choices, clients can achieve more comprehensive and long-lasting body contouring results.

Treatment is not suitable for clients with: Liver disease or impaired liver function, kidney disease or impaired kidney function, high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes. Cardiac pacemakers or implanted electronic devices, metal implants within or close to the treatment area, active cancer or those currently undergoing cancer treatment. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), blood clotting disorders, autoimmune conditions such as AIDS or Lupus. Treatment may require a GP letter or medical approval for clients with: Heart disease, lung disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, autoimmune diseases. Treatment should be avoided over areas with: Hernias, history of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing. Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy and should be postponed until at least 3 months after delivery. Breastfeeding clients may be considered for treatment once feeding is well established and following practitioner assessment.

For your Fat Freeze (Cryolipolysis) appointment, we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Soft, breathable fabrics are ideal, as you will be relaxing throughout the procedure. If you are having treatment on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms or back, loose leggings, joggers, shorts or comfortable underwear are recommended. Avoid tight clothing, shapewear or restrictive garments both before and immediately after treatment, as the treated area may feel numb, tender or slightly sensitive. Please avoid applying lotions, oils or fake tan to the treatment area before your appointment. Arriving well hydrated and wearing comfortable clothing suitable for a relaxing treatment session will help ensure the best possible experience. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable towels and gowns are available when required.

Unfortunately not! Cryolipolysis reduces fat, but it doesn't build muscle. Visible abs require muscle development and a suitable body fat percentage.

The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if weight is gained in the future.

The treated fat cells are naturally broken down and eliminated by the body's lymphatic system over time.

Cryolipolysis can help target areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, but it works best alongside a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity.

No. The body gradually processes and removes the treated fat cells over several weeks and months, so results develop over time rather than instantly.

Cryolipolysis Fat Freeze targets stubborn pockets of fat, but it is not a weight loss treatment. The goal is body contouring and shaping rather than dramatic weight reduction.

If additional treatments are required, sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart to allow the body time to process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells. This also allows the practitioner to evaluate your results before further treatment.

Fat Freeze 360 Treatment helps reduce stubborn fat deposits and improve body contour in treated areas. Many clients notice the area appearing slimmer, smoother and more sculpted over time. Results develop gradually as the body eliminates the treated fat cells, with visible improvements typically appearing over several weeks.

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.

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.
