Fat freezing, or cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that targets stubborn pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise.
Cryolipolysis works by carefully cooling targeted fat cells to a temperature that triggers a natural breakdown process, without affecting surrounding skin or tissue.
At our clinic, we use advanced technology such as the Cristal Pro by Deleo to deliver controlled cooling to specific areas of the body.
Once treated, the crystallised fat cells are gradually processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks. This can help refine body contours and reduce localised fullness in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, bra line and under the chin.
During your consultation, we assess your concerns, body composition and suitability to ensure a tailored treatment plan. Most patients require between one and three sessions depending on the area and desired outcome. The treatment is well tolerated, with a comfortable applicator-based system and no requirement for recovery time.

FAQs
How long does fat freezing take to work?
Initial changes can be seen from around 6–8 weeks, with results continuing to improve for up to 3 months.
Is fat freezing painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable at the start, with a cold sensation and pressure that settles as the area becomes numb.
Are the results permanent?
Treated fat cells are permanently removed; however, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve results.
