What is fat freezing?
Cryolipolysis, also known as ‘fat freezing’, uses a fat freezing machine which freezes fat cells reducing unwanted fat and leaving you with an attractive, more toned body.
Fat freezing is a one- off treatment (even though it could be repeated at three months if required for more intense fat removal results). The treatment takes about one hour and is not painful, although it does feel cold initially.
The area you wish to be reduce is frozen and while we doing so the fat cells will be destroyed, they are then removed from the body via lymph drainage and results become visible after 6-12 weeks.
Fat freezing with our fat freezing machine is suitable for areas which are large enough to be sucked into the fat freezing vacuumed cup.
Where Do The Fat Cells Go?
Your body will digest them, like any energy source they are therefore cleared through the lymphatic system.
What Does Fat Freezing Involve?
Areas which can be treated via Cryolipolysis:
- Stomach (upper or lower)
- Love handles / flanks
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Arms
- Chin
During treatment, your therapist will place a protective pad on your skin, the fat freezing vacuum device is then placed on the area you want to have reduced, it will suck the roll or pocket of fat into the vacuumed cup and the temperature within the cup will be lowered – This causes your fat cells to freeze and subsequently leave the body, with no damage to any other cells.
The device will remain on your skin for up to 1 hour (depending on area) and multiple areas can be frozen at the same time or on the same day.
Only one treatment is normally required, and the body does take several months to flush out the dead fat cells, results become visible after 6 – 12 weeks. If you are unsure which of our fat reduction treatments are best for you, please book a consultation and our skin therapist will be able to advise you.
Alternatives To Fat Freezing?
Our 3D Lipo machine, Inch loss (cavitation treatment) is the best treatment option if you have a roll of fat. If you are looking for circumference loss e.g. you are looking to shrink the entire stomach area then fat freezing is the ideal treatment. Both of these treatment types are conducted via the same device – the 3D Ultimate Pro machine.
Is Fat Freezing Safe?
There’s no general anaesthetic, no surgery and no incisions required, so there’s no risk of any of the complications that these can cause.
You might experience some bruising and redness following your treatment, but this should resolve in a few days.
Very rarely people can experience “freeze burns” but this usually occurs when the practitioner performing the treatment is untrained. By choosing a reputable, professional and experienced clinic like The Greenwich Spa, you can reduce the risk of this happening.
It is an FDA approved treatment that has been shown to be very safe.
How Long Do Results Last For?
Once the fat cells are removed, they are gone forever. However, if you gain weight again then your body can create new fat cells in the area that you had treated. A good diet and exercise should help prevent this from happening.
Cryolipolysis fat freezing is unsuitable for:
- Pregnant / breastfeeding women
- Cryoglobulinemia, Hemoglobinuria
- Cold Agglutinin disease or Paroxysmal
- Raynauds and any Autoimmune diseases
- Hernias in or close to the treated are

Coolsculpting or 3D Lipo?
If you’ve been looking at non-surgical liposuction treatments and have been typing Fat Freezing into the Search Engine then you’ve probably saw both “Coolsculpting” and “3D Lipo”. Both use similar technology to tackle stubborn fat pockets.
Coolsculpting treatment times can be quite lengthy as it only has one applicator, which results in double the treatment time compared to 3D Lipo.
- 3D Lipo uses a combination of technologies which lead to better results when compared to Coolsculpting’s single Fat Freeze Technology:
- 3D Lipo Fat Freezing – Targets stubborn pockets of fat
- 3D Lipo Ultrasound Cavitation – For Inch Loss
- 3D Lipo Radio Frequency – For Skin Tightening
- 3D Lipo Shockwave Shockwave – For skin tone and cellulite
Coolscuplting is not able to treat cellulite or loose skin. Coolsculpting can be up to double or more of the price of a 3D Lipo treatment, primarily because CoolSculpting is supposed to be a Doctor led treatment, however in reality, the doctor will usually have a therapist deliver the treatment.
