Fat Freezing Pros & Cons: Why Some Love It & Hate It

Fat freeze is a well-known medical technique that has shown a non-surgical facelift with just a few sessions and is clinically proven safe. This is a non-invasive non-surgical procedure that helps with fat reduction. It offers many benefits over conventional weight loss techniques as a noninvasive method. In 2008 an American Medical Association study found cryolipolysis reduced fat layers by 45%.

Over the following weeks, your immune system will clear off the fats in natural ways as damaged fat cells are naturally metabolised by your lymphatic system.

Usually, 1-2 sessions are enough for smaller areas but to treat larger areas or have more fat to address the best results after 4-6 sessions. Most people generally obtain their desired result within a couple of weeks.

A disadvantage of fat freezing is that the results may not be immediately visible and it can take weeks or even months before you start to see the full results. Moreover, the procedure can be a bit painful and there may be side effects such as temporary numbness or bruising in the treated parts of the body.

‍

No. Depending on the size and areas of fat, you may need more than one session in order to achieve your desired results. It is best to discuss with your specialist to know how many sessions you will need for your treatment.

To achieve optimal outcomes from the fat freezing method, it's suggested that you combine it with weight loss treatment, such as dieting and exercise. If you eat too much during the treatment period and gain weight, the fat loss will be nullified by the gain of unwanted fats from the excess calories.

There are also different cup sizes which are made to cater to different body shapes, so it's important for your therapist to know which cup size to use.

The main reason why fat freezing may not be working is that the number of calories you consume is too high. Make sure to watch your diet and maintain a balanced lifestyle, as well as regular exercise in order to get the best results from fat freezing.

If you're consuming 1000 calories more than you burn daily, then the fat freezing treatment won't be effective.

• Do not do any activities that'll cause excessive sweating such as hot baths, enter steam rooms, sauna, or heavy exercise for 1 week after your treatment.
• Do not apply any medicated oil on the body parts where you've done a fat freeze procedure.
• Avoid exposing the treated area to the sun for up to 1 week after the treatment.
• Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours before and after the treatment to minimize the chances of bruising.
• Avoid food that may contribute to weight gain like sugar, carbs, fried, and processed foods to ensure the longevity of your cool sculpting results.
• Avoid waxing in the treated region for at least 1 week.
• Avoid exposing the treatment areas to the laser for up to 2 weeks.

Fat Freezing treatments are used to reduce targeted fat. The most common medium cup targets fat pockets on inner thighs, tummy, double chin, belly, love handles, bra fats and arms. Fat Freeze uses localised fat reduction technology; this means it's able to target specific areas. Smaller cups can be used for areas such as double chin while large & medium cup can be used for fat loss when there are more targeted fat pockets.

The fat freezing procedure uses suction to freeze fat cells at cold temperatures, which kills the fat cells while leaving blood vessels, skin cells, and other tissues safe. At the temperature of 0 to -10 degree celsius, the treatment will destroy fat cells.

‍

These fat cells remain in your body until it is passed out through the lymphatic system or eliminated from the body naturally. So basically, the actual fat removal happens after the treatment when you sweat or are in the toilet.

The main reason why fat freezing may not be working is that the number of calories you consume is too high. Make sure to watch your diet and maintain a balanced lifestyle, as well as regular exercise in order to get the best results from fat freezing.

If you're consuming 1000 calories more than you burn daily, then the fat freezing treatment won't be effective.

‍

Yes, it's possible to do fat-freezing treatments at home if you purchase professional devices. However, it's unsafe and inadvisable to do so, as the procedure involves precise temperatures and specific body parts.

‍

Furthermore, many at-home treatments like using ice packs do not work.

Fat freezing feels like a strong vacuum and suction around the treated area. It may be uncomfortable, but it should not cause any pain. Due to the wet membrane and controlled cooling, it doesn't hurt.

‍

In your initial treatment, it's advised to choose lower levels of suction and slightly less cold temperatures so you can get used to the feeling. You can increase these parameters as you go along.

‍

No, fat freezing does not reduce cellulite. It can help reduce stubborn and excess fat on the body, but it does not remove cellulite. We usually recommend our clients do radiofrequency treatments to remove cellulite.

‍

‍

The science behind how Cryolipolysis works is actually quite simple. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than other types of cells in your body. Extreme cold kill fat cells.

‍

Cryo-fat freeze treatment works by causing cell apoptosis (fat cell death) at freezing temperatures. A membrane is laid on your body and the fat freeze machine uses a suction cup to freeze the fat cells.

‍

The cold temperatures then cause targeted fatty tissue to freeze and hence die. The dead fat cells then get flushed out by the lymphatic system in standard natural ways.

‍

Fat freezing treatments only work well for double chin if the patient has enough fat in the area. From our experience, we don't advise clients to use fat freezing for double chin.

Immediately after an expulsion process occurs, the cells will naturally be removed. In most cases, your body fat can be reduced in just three days. Sometimes a final result will appear within six to nine weeks of treatment.
