FAT FREEZING (COOL CONTOURING) FAQ

Fat Freezing, also known as Cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

The treatment uses controlled cooling technology to target fat cells beneath the skin. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells, helping improve body contours without surgery or downtime.

Fat Freezing is intended for body contouring and is not a weight-loss procedure.

Fat Freezing works by exposing targeted fat cells to carefully controlled cooling temperatures.

Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissues. After treatment, the body gradually breaks down and naturally eliminates the treated fat cells through its normal metabolic processes over the following weeks and months.

The surrounding skin, muscles, nerves, and other tissues are not the target of the treatment.

Fat Freezing may be used on several areas of the body, including:

• Abdomen
• Love handles (flanks)
• Waist
• Lower abdomen
• Upper abdomen
• Inner thighs
• Outer thighs
• Back fat
• Bra fat
• Upper arms
• Under the buttocks (banana roll)
• Other localized areas of pinchable fat as determined during your consultation

Your practitioner will evaluate your anatomy and recommend the most appropriate treatment areas.

No.

Fat Freezing is designed for body contouring, not weight loss.

It is most suitable for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have stubborn areas of fat that have not responded to a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Patients seeking significant weight reduction may require a different treatment approach.

Fat Freezing may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have stubborn localized fat deposits
• Maintain a relatively stable weight
• Follow a healthy lifestyle
• Want non-surgical body contouring
• Prefer little to no downtime
• Have realistic expectations regarding treatment outcomes

A consultation is required to determine whether Fat Freezing is appropriate for your individual goals.

Treatment time depends on the number of treatment areas and applicators used.

A single treatment area generally takes approximately 35–60 minutes.

If multiple areas are treated during the same appointment, the total treatment time will increase accordingly.

Your practitioner will provide a personalized treatment schedule during your consultation.

Most patients tolerate Fat Freezing well.

During the first few minutes, you may experience:

• Intense cold
• Pulling sensation
• Pressure
• Mild discomfort

As the treatment area becomes numb, most patients become significantly more comfortable and are able to relax during the remainder of the session.

The number of treatments depends on:

• The treatment area
• Amount of localized fat
• Body shape
• Treatment goals
• Individual response

Some patients are satisfied after one treatment, while others benefit from multiple sessions to achieve their desired body contour.

Your practitioner will develop a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

Fat reduction occurs gradually.

Many patients begin noticing changes within several weeks, with continued improvement over approximately 2–3 months as the body naturally eliminates treated fat cells.

Results vary depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

The treated fat cells that are successfully eliminated do not regenerate.

However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle is important, as remaining fat cells can still enlarge if significant weight is gained.

A balanced diet and regular physical activity help maintain long-term body contouring results.

Before your Fat Freezing treatment, we recommend that you:

• Stay well hydrated.
• Eat a light meal before your appointment.
• Wear comfortable clothing.
• Inform your practitioner about any medical conditions, medications, recent surgeries, or changes in your health.
• Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
• Follow any personalized preparation instructions provided during your consultation.

A consultation is always performed to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

Your treatment generally includes:

• Consultation and body assessment
• Evaluation of the treatment area
• Clinical photographs (when appropriate and with your consent)
• Marking of the treatment area
• Placement of a protective cooling membrane
• Application of the Fat Freezing applicator
• Controlled cooling of the targeted fat tissue
• Removal of the applicator
• Gentle massage of the treated area when clinically appropriate
• Review of aftercare instructions

The treatment plan is customized according to your body shape and treatment goals.

Immediately after treatment, it is common to experience:

• Temporary redness
• Mild swelling
• Firmness
• Numbness
• Tingling
• Mild tenderness
• Temporary sensitivity

These effects are expected and generally improve gradually over the following days or weeks.

Every patient’s recovery is different.

One of the advantages of Fat Freezing is that there is generally little to no downtime.

Most patients return to work and normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

Depending on the treatment area, some temporary tenderness or sensitivity may persist for several days.

Following treatment, we generally recommend:

• Staying well hydrated.
• Maintaining a healthy diet.
• Remaining physically active as recommended by your healthcare provider.
• Following all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.

Most patients may continue their normal daily routine immediately after treatment unless otherwise advised.

Your practitioner will advise you whether massage is appropriate for your treatment.

For some Fat Freezing procedures, a brief massage immediately after treatment may be recommended as part of the clinical protocol.

Do not perform vigorous massage unless specifically instructed by your practitioner.

Yes.

Depending on your individual assessment, your practitioner may recommend incorporating Fat Freezing into a personalized body contouring plan that may include one or more complementary treatments.

Depending on your body shape, localized fat distribution, skin elasticity, and treatment goals, your customized treatment plan may include:

• Body HIFU Skin Tightening

• HI-EMS + RF Body Sculpting

• Lipo Dissolve (when clinically appropriate)

• Personalized nutrition and healthy lifestyle recommendations

• Exercise recommendations to help support and maintain your results

Some treatments may be performed during the same appointment, while others may be recommended as part of a staged treatment plan over multiple visits. The treatment sequence and timing are determined by your practitioner based on your anatomy, treatment goals, clinical assessment, and expected recovery.

Our goal is to develop a personalized body contouring plan that safely addresses your individual concerns while helping you achieve natural-looking, balanced results.

Fat Freezing may not be appropriate for everyone.

Treatment may need to be postponed or may not be recommended for individuals with:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Certain cold-sensitive medical conditions
• Active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area
• Certain hernias within the treatment area
• Certain medical conditions affecting safe treatment

A consultation is required to determine whether Fat Freezing is appropriate for you.

Fat Freezing is primarily designed to reduce localized fat deposits.

While some patients notice an improvement in skin appearance, Fat Freezing is not considered a skin-tightening treatment.

If skin laxity is a concern, your practitioner may recommend combining your treatment plan with Body HIFU or another skin-tightening procedure when clinically appropriate.

Fat Freezing is designed to reduce localized fat deposits and is not considered a primary treatment for cellulite.

Some patients notice an improvement in the appearance of the treated area; however, cellulite may require different or additional treatment approaches depending on its cause and severity.

Yes.

Fat Freezing is suitable for both women and men.

Many male patients choose treatment for areas such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), chest (when appropriate), back, and other localized areas of stubborn fat.

Treatment plans are customized according to each patient’s anatomy and goals.

Yes.

Fat Freezing is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

Although treated fat cells are gradually eliminated, remaining fat cells in the body can still enlarge if significant weight is gained.

Maintaining a stable weight through healthy eating and regular physical activity helps preserve your results.

Not everyone is an ideal candidate.

The best candidates are generally individuals who are close to their target weight and have localized areas of stubborn fat that have not responded to diet and exercise.

A consultation is required to determine whether Fat Freezing is appropriate for your body contouring goals.

No.

Fat Freezing is a non-surgical body contouring treatment and is not intended to replace liposuction.

Patients seeking significant fat removal or surgical body contouring may require consultation with an appropriate surgical specialist.

During your consultation, your practitioner will discuss whether Fat Freezing is the right option for your goals and recommend alternative treatments if appropriate.

Yes.

For selected patients, Fat Freezing and Body HIFU may be incorporated into the same treatment visit when clinically appropriate.

This allows your practitioner to address both localized fat reduction and skin tightening as part of a personalized treatment plan.

Not every patient requires both treatments. Your practitioner will determine the safest and most appropriate approach during your consultation.

Yes.

Depending on your body contouring goals, HI-EMS + RF Body Sculpting may be recommended as part of a personalized treatment program.

While Fat Freezing focuses on reducing localized fat deposits, HI-EMS + RF is designed to strengthen and tone targeted muscles while supporting body contouring.

Your practitioner will determine whether one treatment or a combination of treatments is most appropriate.

Yes.

For selected patients, Fat Freezing and Lipo Dissolve may both be considered within a comprehensive body contouring plan.

These treatments work differently and may be recommended for different body areas or treatment goals.

The timing, treatment sequence, and suitability will be determined during your consultation.

Some patients are satisfied after a single treatment.

However, the number of treatments required depends on:

• The amount of localized fat
• Treatment area
• Body shape
• Individual response
• Desired outcome

Your practitioner will recommend a personalized treatment plan after assessing your body contouring goals.
