Fat Freezing
A non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to target stubborn pockets of fat — also known as cryolipolysis.
Stubborn fat, naturally eliminated
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to destroy fat cells. The treated fat cells gradually break down and are naturally eliminated by the body over the following weeks and months. It works best on stubborn pockets of fat rather than for overall weight loss, and is commonly used on the abdomen, love handles, thighs, upper arms, back and under the chin.
Cold that clears fat
Controlled Cooling
An applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the targeted fat pocket, without harming the skin's surface.
Fat Cell Crystallisation
The cold causes fat cells in the treated area to crystallise and break down, while surrounding tissue is unaffected.
Natural Elimination
Over the following weeks and months, the body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells.
