Fat-freezing treatment is used to reduce stubborn body fat that is difficult to lose by diet and exercise alone, using the controlled cooling process of cryolipolysis to target and crystallize fat cells.
The Treatment
This novel non-invasive technology uses controlled cold exposure to influence a gradual reduction of the subcutaneous fat layer using natural thermal diffusion.
The fat is cooled to a controlled temperature resulting in the fat cells to crystallise and die, without causing damage to any of the surrounding tissues, nerves or the skin.
Results can start to be seen in as little as three weeks from the first treatment, further and improved results can be seen when the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these fat cells through the lymphatic system. This process continues for up to six months.

The Procedure
On arrival for your treatment you will undergo a full consultation to help us understand your body goals. Once complete, your treatment will begin and anti freeze membranes will be placed onto the target areas followed by the Ice Lipo applicators.
You will feel a pull due to the vacuum effect used to hold the area in place during the session. Next you will start to get an intense cold feeling which will fade as the area becomes numb. The procedure will last 45-60 minutes and during this time you are free to use our iPad, read a magazine or even have a nap.
FAQ’s
What is Ice Lipo?
Cryolipolysis (Ice Lipo) is a non-invasive procedure. It uses controlled cooling to permanently remove fat cells. The technology behind Cryolipolysis was designed and developed by dermatologists Dieter Manstein, MD, PhD and R. Rox Anderson, MD, at Harvard Medical School. Their analysis revealed “prolonged, controlled local tissue cooling can induce selective fat reduction and subsequent loss of fat cells, without damaging the overlying skin.”
Does it work?
YES. There are numerous clinical trials, celebrity reviews and before & after photos which support the effectiveness of fat freezing. Ask to see our client testimonials.*
What happens to the fat cells that have been treated?
Fat cells are dissolved into the body via the lymphatic system. Your body flushes effected fat cells from the system using the bodies natural processes. The area treated becomes smaller in size over the following weeks as this process happens.
How long is the session?
Each session is up to 45 minutes per area, depending on the thickness of the area and how quickly you respond to the cooling technology. Your treatment will be tailored to your individual requirements which are discussed in your pre-treatment consultation. Additional time may be required if you require more than one area.
How many sessions will I need?
One session is sufficient for most areas. Cryolipolysis has the advantage of not requiring a course of treatment. Depending on the thickness of the fat and your personal goals fat freezing may be repeated in the same area a second time, but is not a necessity. If you choose that you would like a further reduction in the same area, preferable waiting time between sessions is approx 45-60 days. This is to give enough time to measure the effectiveness of the initial treatment.*
What will the results be?
Clinical studies on Cryolipolysis have shown reduction of fat is up to 40%. Each persons results will vary, the thickness of the fat deposits in each area, and the lifestyle maintained after treatment. Those that follow the aftercare advice, will get the best results.*
When will I see results?
This depends on the individual, the fat thickness and the area treated. Changes happen over a number of weeks, 12 weeks being the estimated time to see the maximum results, although some of our clients begin to see changes at around 2 weeks. In clinical trials 12 weeks post treatment, 9 out of 10 people saw an undeniable reduction in the treated area.*
What will I feel during the session?
You will feel a “tug” close to the treated area due to the vacuum effect used to hold the area in place during the session and an intense cold feeling at the beginning of the procedure at the vacuum site. This is an unusual feeling, but not painful. We often have clients fall asleep during their session. There is no anaesthetic or numbing agent required during the treatment.
What will I feel after the session?
The beauty of Cryolipolysis is there are generally few side effects. There is no recovery period, or downtime.
Usually: some short term redness and cold/numbness on the treated zone after the session.
Rarely: slight haematoma, due to the vacuum (similar to a love bite) that will resorb within a few days. Swelling, superficial bruising, extended redness.
You can resume normal daily activities without special discomfort immediately after the session, or go back to work if your being treated in your lunch break.
Who is the ideal client for Cryolipolysis?
Cryolipolysis is especially designed for local fat reduction: The ideal candidates are those who want to reduce localised fat deposits for instance on the abdomen, flanks, lower back, hips, thighs, upper arms etc. These tend to be areas particularly stubborn to diet and exercise. Although most people are treatable, it is not an overall weight loss solution. We suggest that the ideal candidate is within or near their ideal body weight, people in this group will see the best results. It can also be an excellent additional motivation for those embarking on a change in lifestyle.
