Cryotherapy Fat Freezing is the LATEST and most EFFECTIVE non-invasive way to treat unwanted areas of fat and reduce these areas by 26%
What is Fat Freezing?
Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing) is the controlled freezing of fat cells to cause apoptosis or programmed cell death. When fat cells are exposed to a precise cooling between -1°C and -5°C they undergo crystallisation, this process produces an inflammatory response which causes the fat cell to shrink and then die. Fat cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures and freeze at lower temperatures compared to other tissues. Structures such as skin tissue, blood vessels, and our nervous system are not as sensitive to freezing and are therefore totally unaffected by the treatment.
The body removes the damaged cells in the normal way via the lymphatic system and are naturally eliminated from your body over the coming weeks.
Can anyone have Fat Freezing?
Not everyone is suitable for Cryolipolysis, some areas of fat are different to others and would not always be suitable for the treatment.
Fat freezing can be performed on soft squeezable pockets or areas of subcutaneous fat.
With our unique fat freezing system offering multiple treatment options and technologies to target fat, we can devise a bespoke treatment programme tailored to meet your needs whatever your body type.
If you have any of the following medical conditions unfortunately you would not be suitable for Cryolipolysis.
We also recommend that you are over 18 years old to receive fat freezing treatments.

Cryolipolysis is not a treatment for obesity or for weight loss. Best results are achieved on clients with a BMI of around 30 or below.
If you are looking to lose weight and dramatically change your body shape then we could work with you to help you reach your goals. This may include combining our weight loss programme along with a range of 3D-Lipo treatments as you get closer to your desired weight.
How does the treatment feel?
Our fat freezing treatments are non-invasive and painless.
Cryolipolysis is a unique treatment and does create a few strange sensations. Initially you will feel the suction as the fat tissue is drawn upwards into the device, which you will feel a strong suction. Then as the fat tissue begins to freeze, the area will feel cold or you may experience a tingling or stinging sensation in that area. These sensations disappear after 10 – 12 minutes and you will relax for the duration of the treatment. Once the device has been removed the treated area will feel ice cold and numb. Your body will quickly heat up this area and the numbness will disappear.
What are the side effects?
Cryolipolysis is a safe and effective treatment for fat reduction, however following your treatment you may experience the following side effects:
-
Bruising of the treated area, this can last for up to 5 days. Especially when treating chins.
-
Localised numbness can be felt normally for 2 hours to 5 days. In some cases this may last for up to two weeks.
-
Area can feel cold and firm, normally lasting between a few hours to a couple of days.

How quickly will I see results?
Following a fat freeze procedure, time frames for seeing results can vary among individuals but we normally advise that best results are achieved around 8 weeks after a treatment and it is at this point we would invite you in for a review appointment.
We generally advise that results are visible between 6 – 12 weeks after your treatment; however some people have seen results appearing after just 4 or 5 weeks. Your body continues to metabolise and clear the damaged cells from the treated area for up to 4 or 6 months after your initial treatment.*
Disclaimer
The results shown on this site are from real clients, however the results are not guaranteed. Results will vary from person to person. Results will be long lasting if clients maintain a health lifestyle and body weight.
How many fat freeze treatments will I need?
The number of fat freezing treatments you have depends on the initial size of the pocket to be treated, your individual goals and the results achieved with each treatment.
If you are looking to further reduce the area after your initial treatment then we would be able to perform a second Cryolipolysis treatment after 8 weeks.
Alternatively you can combine your Cryolipolysis treatments with other treatments such as a course of Ultrasound Cavitation for enhanced inch loss.
With our fat freezing system we can treat two body areas at the same time and can treat multiple areas on the same day.
How long do results last for after a Fat Freeze?
Cryolipolysis destroys the fat cells in the treated area and those fat cells are eliminated from your body. Results will be long lasting as long as you maintain a healthy weight.
Whilst fat freezing destroys fat cells, it does not remove all the fat cells in the treated area. Therefore any weight gained after your treatment could negatively affect your results, as other fat cells could increase in size.
At Laser Aesthetics we strongly recommend that you maintain a healthy weight, through good lifestyle choices, healthy eating and regular exercise. This will prevent your body from storing excess fat in other fat cells.
To ensure you support your body to achieve the best results possible following your treatment you are advised to follow our aftercare advice.
Aftercare advice following your fat freezing treatment –
1. Maintain your weight
2. Drink at least 2 litres of water / fluid each day to support your lymphatic system
3. It may also help to reduce your intake of caffine and alcohol
Physical activity or exercise is beneficial on all levels for overall health and weight management. Regular exercise also supports your lymphatic system as the pumping action of your muscles created during movement and activity supports the lymphatic circulation.
