Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
Freeze Away Stubborn Fat
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that targets and eliminates stubborn fat cells through controlled cooling.
It’s a popular alternative to liposuction, offering a gentler approach with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.

What is Fat Freezing?
Fat freezing involves using a specialized applicator that applies controlled cooling to the targeted area. The cold temperature crystallizes the fat cells, causing them to break down without harming the surrounding tissues. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells over time.
How does it work?
Targeted Cooling
The applicator delivers precise cooling to the targeted fat deposits. This cooling process triggers a natural cell death process called apoptosis in the fat cells.
Natural Elimination
The body’s lymphatic system then gradually processes and removes the damaged fat cells over the course of several weeks to months.
Long-Term Results
The fat cells that are eliminated through cryolipolysis are permanently gone, leading to long-lasting results.
The Benefits of Fat Freezing
Fat freezing offers several advantages for those seeking to reduce stubborn fat and improve body contours:
Non-Invasive
No incisions, needles, or anesthesia required.
Painless
Most people experience minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
No Downtime
Typically requires no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately.
Targeted Fat Reduction
Effectively targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, love handles, thighs, and arms.
Long-Lasting Results
Eliminates fat cells permanently, offering long-term results with proper maintenance.
Fat Freezing & Complementary Treatments
Pairing fat freezing with other treatments can enhance results and expedite the elimination of fat cells. Here’s why:
Laser Therapy: Laser therapy can help break down fat cells and stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin tightening and improving overall results.
Cavitation: This ultrasound-based treatment can further disrupt fat cells, making them easier for the body to eliminate.
Radiofrequency (RF): RF can help tighten skin and improve body contours after fat freezing.
Sauna Dome: Using a sauna dome after 3 days can promote lymphatic drainage, aiding the body in flushing out the released fat cells.
Important Considerations
Water Intake
It’s crucial to drink at least 3 liters of water per day after fat freezing to support the body’s lymphatic system in eliminating the dead fat cells.
Treatment Interval
Fat freezing can be repeated on the same area every 4 weeks to achieve further fat reduction.
Results
Results typically become noticeable within 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement over several months.
