Fat cells don’t die with diet and exercise, they only reduce in size which can make it difficult to remove the fat and keep it off. Cryolipolysis  freezes fat cells at -5°c as that temperature kills them. The body then flushes out the dead fat cells via the lymphatic system.

A gel membrane is applied to the area being treated and a handle is then placed on top which is connected to the machine. The handle sucks up the fat and then it starts to freeze the fat cells.

45 minutes so be sure to bring a book or something to keep you entertained!

It can take up to 8 treatments – the number of sessions needed will vary depending on how the client responds to the treatment and what their goal body size is. Each session will be booked 4-6 weeks apart.

Full results can take up to 12 weeks to appear after each treatment however you may see results within the first six weeks. Leading a healthy lifestyle will help to keep the weight off so that there are no new fat cells forming.

Fat freezing is generally a painless treatment. The skin will feel cold during the treatment and might tingle. You might also feel a slight pinch as the skin is sucked up into the vacuum but the treatment should not hurt.
