  • Fat Freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat in specific areas of the body.

    It works by safely cooling fat cells to a temperature where they break down naturally. The surrounding skin, muscle and tissue are not damaged. Once treated, the body gradually processes and eliminates the affected fat cells over the following weeks.

    The result is a slimmer, more sculpted appearance in the treated area.

    This treatment is ideal for people who are already making an effort with nutrition and movement but struggle with localized fat pockets that do not respond easily.

  • Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other tissues.

    During treatment:

    • A specialised applicator is placed on the target area
    • Controlled cooling is applied to the fat layer beneath the skin
    • Fat cells crystallise and break down
    • The body’s lymphatic system gradually eliminates them

    The process is natural and progressive. Results develop over time, not overnight.

    Most clients begin noticing changes from around 3 to 4 weeks, with more visible improvement after 6 to 8 weeks.

  • Common treatment areas include:

    • Lower abdomen
    • Upper abdomen
    • Love handles
    • Inner thighs
    • Outer thighs
    • Arms
    • Back rolls
    • Bra area

    During your consultation, we assess whether fat freezing is appropriate for your specific goals.

  • When the applicator is first applied, you may feel:

    • A strong pulling or suction sensation
    • Intense cold for the first 5 to 10 minutes
    • Mild tingling or pressure

    After the initial cooling phase, the area typically becomes numb. Most clients relax during the session and can read, scroll on their phone, or simply rest.

    The treatment itself is not considered painful, but you may feel pressure and cold at the beginning.

    After the applicator is removed, the area may feel:

    • Firm
    • Cold
    • Slightly sensitive

    A short massage is usually performed afterward to help stimulate circulation.

  • It is normal to experience:

    • Redness
    • Mild swelling
    • Temporary numbness
    • Slight bruising in some cases

    These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days to a few weeks.

    There is no downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately.

  • Most clients require:

    • 1 to 3 sessions per area
    • Treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart

    The number of sessions depends on:

    • The thickness of the fat layer
    • Your body composition
    • Your lifestyle habits

    We create a structured plan during your consultation.

  • No.
