Fat FreezingCryolipolysis Body Contouring

Fat freezing uses controlled cooling to permanently reduce stubborn fat — no needles, no surgery, no downtime. The treated fat cells are crystallised, destroyed, and naturally flushed away by your body over the following weeks.

The Simple Explanation
How Fat Freezing Works

Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the surrounding skin and tissue. By cooling the area to a precise temperature, we can target and destroy fat cells while everything else remains completely unharmed.

APPLICATOR SKIN SURFACE ❄ ❄ ❄ Fat cells crystallise → body clears them naturally surface untouched ✓
Think of it like this: Just as water turns to ice at freezing point, fat cells crystallise at a specific temperature — a temperature that’s cold enough to destroy fat but completely safe for skin, nerves, and muscle. Your body then naturally processes and removes the destroyed cells over the following weeks.
What Happens
Your Treatment Journey
Apply
A gel pad protects your skin, then the applicator draws in the area using gentle suction and begins controlled cooling
Freeze
The area cools to a precise temperature over 40–60 minutes. You can read, scroll your phone, or simply relax during the session
Flush
Over the following weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates the crystallised fat cells. The area gradually reduces and contours
What It Treats
Best For Larger, Pinchable Areas

Fat freezing works best on areas with a good amount of “pinchable” fat — the soft, subcutaneous fat that sits beneath the skin. It’s ideal for contouring rather than weight loss.

Abdomen
The most commonly treated area. Targets the soft belly fat that sits below the navel — upper and lower abdomen can be treated separately.
Love Handles & Flanks
The stubborn fat that sits above the hips and around the sides of the waist. One of the most effective and satisfying areas to treat.
Inner & Outer Thighs
Reduces thigh bulk and improves contour. Inner thighs can be particularly stubborn — fat freezing offers a non-invasive solution.
Upper Arms
Targets the soft fat on the back and underside of the upper arms that many women find frustrating, regardless of exercise.
Back & Bra Fat
The rolls and bulges around the bra line that clothing can make more visible. Fat freezing can smooth and reduce these effectively.
Double Chin
A smaller applicator targets submental fat under the chin. For very small or precise areas, fat dissolving injections may be recommended instead.
Your Results
What to Expect & When

Fat freezing is a gradual process. Your body needs time to clear the destroyed cells, so results develop over weeks rather than appearing immediately.

Day of Treatment
Redness & Numbness
The area may be red, numb, or slightly tender after the applicator is removed. This is temporary and typically resolves within hours to days. You can return to normal activities immediately.
Weeks 2–4
Process Begins
Your body is actively processing and removing the crystallised fat cells. You probably won’t notice visible changes yet — the process is happening beneath the surface.
Weeks 4–8
Visible Changes
This is when most clients start to see a noticeable difference. Clothes may fit differently and the treated area will be visibly smoother and more contoured.
Months 2–3
Full Results
Peak results typically appear around 8–12 weeks post-treatment. A single session can reduce up to 20–25% of fat in the treated area. A second session may be recommended for further reduction.
Why Truth
What Makes Our Approach Different
Body Contouring Specialists
This is all we do. We’re not a beauty salon that also offers fat freezing — body contouring is our specialism and we understand how treatments work together for optimal results.
Right Treatment, Right Area
Not every area is suitable for fat freezing. If fat dissolving, skin tightening, or a different approach would serve you better, we’ll tell you — even if it means a lower-cost treatment.
Comprehensive Programmes
Fat freezing is often most effective as part of a wider plan. We can combine it with skin tightening, cellulite treatment, and lifestyle support for a complete transformation.
Honest Expectations
We’ll assess your specific anatomy and give you a realistic picture of what’s achievable. Fat freezing delivers genuine results — but it’s body contouring, not weight loss, and we make that clear from the start.
Common Questions
What Clients Ask Us

You’ll feel intense cold and suction for the first few minutes, which can be uncomfortable. After about 5–10 minutes the area numbs and most clients are completely comfortable — many read or use their phone for the rest of the session.

Most clients see significant results from a single session per area. Some choose a second session 8–12 weeks later for further reduction. We’ll discuss what’s realistic during your consultation.

Yes — once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t grow back. However, remaining fat cells in the area can still expand if you gain significant weight. Maintaining a stable, healthy lifestyle preserves your results long-term.

Fat freezing is best for larger areas with a good amount of pinchable fat — like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Fat dissolving injections are better for smaller, precise pockets — particularly under the chin. We offer both and will recommend the most suitable option.

Yes, there’s no downtime. You can return to exercise and normal activities straight away. Some clients experience temporary numbness or tenderness in the treated area, but this doesn’t restrict activity.

Yes. We need to assess the treatment area, check that there’s enough pinchable fat for the applicator, and discuss your goals. This ensures we recommend the right treatment — which may or may not be fat freezing.
