CRYOLIPOLYSIS FAT FREEZING
Targeted fat reduction and body contouring
WHAT IS CRYOLIPOLYSIS FAT FREEZING?
Cryolipolysis is a tried, tested and proven inch loss process using advanced technology, more commonly referred to as Fat Freezing, Cool Sculpting®, Ice Lipo or Cool Slimming. As a non-surgical alternative to Liposuction, this treatment has become one of the “go-to” procedures for eliminating unwanted body fat.
The treatment relies on the controlled cooling of fat tissue. The simple procedure has vacuum cups placed on the chosen areas of fat and the triglycerides (fat cells) are cooled to between -1 and -7 degrees. These unwanted fat cells are unable to survive at this temperature, they die and are then eliminated naturally through the bodies lymphatic drainage system. The surrounding areas of tissue remain unharmed and over a period of 12 weeks the body will reshape.
HOW DOES FAT FREEZING WORK?
1
Many of us have pockets of fat that are resistant to traditional forms of weight loss like diet and exercise.
2
Cryolipolysis fat freezing targets these stubborn areas, by reducing the temperature to up to minus 10 degrees, crystallising the fat cells.
3
Following the treatment, the crystallised fat cells are gradually removed by the immune system in the next few weeks and months.
4
Fat is elliminated by up to 40%!
FAT FREEZING HISTORY & SCIENCE
So let us explain the basic science and brief history of Cryolipolysis Fat Freezing. Until 2010 the removal of fat was usually achieved by liposuction or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery. Whilst these methods both provide good results, they are invasive, posing many risks and cost an average of £4,000 - £5,000, Reports as far back as the 1900's document adipose tissue and its sensitivity to cold temperatures. In the 1970's it was reported fat necrosis (cell death) occurred in an infant who had been sucking on an ice lolly. This was then observed in adult patients to prove lipid rich tissues are susceptible to the cold without harming other organs, In 2007 Cryolipolysis was then introduced as a method for fat elimination and in 2012 it received FDA approval.
When we eat, our body converts any calories it doesn't need into triglycerides . The triglycerides are stored in our fat cells and if we regularly eat more calories than we burn, particularly empty calories like carbohydrates, sugars and fats, we can find ourselves with triglycerides, commonly known as fat bulges. Luckily approx 25% of these fat cells can now be eliminated in one treatment of Fat Freezing
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave Therapy uses Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) to shrink and suffuse fat cells.
The Shockwave activates the metabolism and rids the body of impurities through your lymphatic drainage system.
This treatment increases your blood supply which results in skin tightening and the softening and strengthening of your connective tissue resulting in the smoothing of cellulite.
Shockwave is a great "add on" to Fat Freezing which will accelerate results. Included in ALL Fat Freezing treatments, you will receive a Shockwave treatment at the end of your session

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW LONG DOES FAT FREEZING TAKE?
Each treatment of up to 2 areas takes from 30 to 45 minutes depending on area treated plus 15 minutes for consultation. 4 Areas takes up to 90 minutes. We always say to give yourself and extra 15 minutes to be on the safe side to cover any questions you may have before or after the treatment.
WHAT DOES FAT FREEZING FEEL LIKE?
After your initial consultation, your therapist will mark out your treatment areas and then place a gel membrane on the area to protect your skin. The targeted area will then be covered with a cryo cup, this will suction your skin into the cup and you will feel a pulling sensation. After an initial feeling of heat you will then start to feel the skin go cold. This will last for around 2 minutes and then it will become numb. There is little to no discomfort during the treatment. Most clients fall asleep!

HOW MUCH FAT DOES FAT FREEZING ELIMINATE?
Everyone is different and all bodies respond differently but it can eliminate up to 40% of fat and the average is around 30%.
HOW MANY FAT FREEZING TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Just the one treatment is enough for some areas and some clients but we all have different bodies and different goals. Depending on your body fat and your own goals, a second or third treatment will give even further results. You must leave a minimum of 4 weeks before treating the same area.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER A FAT FREEZING TREATMENT?
Once you have finished your treatment you can carry on your day as normal. You may have some slight redness and numbness but this will subside within a day. In some cases depending on the area treated, there may be something similar to a love bite or bruising but this will subside within 5 days.
IS FAT FREEZING SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
The treatment is suitable for anyone with stubborn pockets of fat that will not budge with diet or exercise. Whilst most people are treatable, Cryoliplysis Fat Freezing is not meant as a substitute for weight loss. If you have 4 stone or less to lose then this is a suitable option for you. If you have more than 4 stone of weight to lose then we recommend you speak with our nurse practitioner about weight loss options and return to us when you are at your desired weight.
WHEN WILL I SEE A CHANGE AFTER A FAT FREEZING TREATMENT?
Depending on your body type and the amount of fat you have, you may see results in as little as 2 weeks. In general, you will begin to see results at around week 4 and see optimum results after 12 weeks.
