Fat Freezing
Fat Freezing
Cryolipolysis “fat freezing” was developed by a Harvard scientist and has been a clinically proven procedure to freeze fat cells without causing damage to other cells.
Fat freezing is a highly effective non-surgical fat reduction treatment that is pain free, non invasive and shown to have incredible results. It allows you to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat and help you sculpt your figure.
The fat cells are destroyed using a handpiece (Cryo cup) that creates a vacuum over the treatment area, drawing the fat into the cup. By lowering the temperature to -4 or -5 degrees depending on the body area, the contents of the fat cells become crystalized which causes cell death. The fat cells are then disposed of naturally through the body’s lymphatic system.
Fat freezing permanently reduces the number of fat cells in your body without causing damage to other cells. Once this happens your body will start to remove the fat cells in a process called lipolysis, which will happen over a 12 week period. The fat will slowly reduce in the area treated by 20-40%.

Fat Freezing Treatment
Is Fat Freezing right for you?
Fat freezing is suitable for people with stubborn areas/ noticeable bulges of fat that you are unable to get rid of, even with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
If the area you wish to reduce is considered to be unsuitable for fat freezing then we will advise you during your consultation.
What areas can be treated?
We can selectively target your most troublesome areas such as stomach fat, love handles, inner thighs, outer thighs, arms (bingo wings), back of legs (under bum), back/bra fat and male chest.
If you can squeeze it we can freeze it!
How long is a treatment?
Treatment time for one area is 40 minutes long, your total appointment time will be 1 hour. (If you are booking more than one area at a time your appointment will be longer)
Fat Freezing is a non-surgical / non-invasive treatment which requires no downtime. You could come in during your lunch break and continue with your daily activities following your treatment.
You can sit back relax, listen to music or watch a film!
How fast will you see results?
After fat freezing your body goes through a process called Lipolysis. It needs time to adjust and reline the fat cells and contour your shape. This normally takes around 12 weeks. Its around this time you will usually see maximum results. However, we have some clients who start to see results appearing from as early as 2 weeks.
How many treatments will you need?
We recommend 1-3 treatments for best results.
Results after fat freezing are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Everyone is different and results can vary depending on how your body naturally responds to the treatment.
We do not recommend coming in for fat freezing 2 weeks prior to an event/ holiday as some clients may experience bruising following treatment. This is rare but can happen depending on each individual.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Welcome to the No23bodyclinic FAQ section! Here, we aim to address some of the most common questions our clients have. If you don’t find the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact us.
Q: How do I prepare for treatment?
A: It is important to be hydrated before and after fat freezing. Please try to drink 1 litre of water before treatment and do not consume any hot drinks.
Do not take blood thinners, aspirin or other anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen as they can increase the appearance of bruising after treatment.
We recommend that you do not consume large meals immediately before or after treatments.
Q: Is fat freezing for men?
A: Yes, Fat freezing is for both men and women.
A popular area for men to have treatment is on the chest. We are able to target fatty tissue around the male chest area to get rid of stubborn fat. We have had amazing results as you can see in the photo to the right.
Q: Are your treatments safe?
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Some clients may experience temporary loss of sensation in the treated area, bruising, welts, numbness, redness, soreness, tingling or stinging. The extent of which depends on the client and the particular body areas. In our experience most of these side effects are gone within a few hours or weeks, if they occur at all. You will be sent a consultation form covering all information on aftercare and side effects before treatment.
Q: What is the aftercare?
A:
- Avoid alcohol while waiting for results. A major problem with alcohol is that it turns to sugar, and then fat relatively quickly. It also preoccupies the liver with the flushing out of toxins, rather than helping flush out released fatty acids.
- Try to drink a minimum of 2 litres of water per day, this will help flush through the toxins and fatty acids.
- Eat healthy, try to replace sugary drinks and junk food with proteins, fruit and veg.
- Exercise regularly, this helps burn off the released fats and drain them into the lymphatic system. We recommend at least 30 minutes of cardio/walking after treatment.
- Massage the treated area in circular motions after treatment and for the following 2 weeks to help circulation and to push fatty acids through the lymphatic system.
