It targets a pocket, not a body
Cryolipolysis works on a defined area that has not moved with diet or training. It is a contouring treatment and it is not, and will never be, a weight loss treatment.

What it is
Cryolipolysis. Controlled cooling targets a defined pocket of fat that has not moved with diet or training.
The appointment
Measurement, photography and suitability check
Applicator placed on the treatment area
Cooling cycle while you read or work
Manual massage of the area afterwards
Right for you if
- Defined pockets rather than overall weight loss
- Lower abdomen, flanks and inner thigh
- Anyone who cannot take recovery time
Afterwards
Numbness and tenderness for a week. Results build over eight to twelve weeks.
Your practitioner confirms suitability, strength and the number of sessions at your consultation. Prices are indicative.
Why it is worth it
Two applicators run at once
Both flanks or both inner thighs can be treated in the same appointment, which halves the time you spend on the bed.
You can work through it
The first few minutes are cold, then the area goes numb. Most people read or answer email for the rest of the cycle.
Choosing a practitioner
Applicator choice and placement decide whether you get a smooth result or a step. Ask to see the mapping before the cycle starts.
Asked about fat freezing
When will I see a difference?
The body clears the treated cells slowly. Change starts around week four and is usually settled by week twelve. Photographs and measurements at the start are how we tell.
How many cycles will I need?
Often one per area is enough. Some areas benefit from a second at twelve weeks. Your practitioner will tell you which at the assessment.
Does the fat come back?
Treated cells do not return, but the remaining ones can still enlarge. The result holds if your weight holds.
What does it feel like afterwards?
Numb and tender for about a week, occasionally with a pins and needles sensation as feeling returns. That is expected.
Start with a plan, not a guess.
A 45 minute mapping appointment reads your skin and sets the order of treatments. Nothing is booked until you agree to it.
