Areas suitable for treatment include the abdomen, flanks, bingo wings, saddlebags, Inner thighs and love handles.

At the beginning of the treatment the nurse practitioner places a gel-impregnated pad on the area to be treated. The Cryolipolysis device is then positioned on the area of the body to be targeted for fat removal and using a suction action draws the fat bulge into the applicator where two cooling plates are situated. As the cooling starts, a feeling of pressure and cold follows. The sub-zero temperatures cause the fat cells to die. They are then flushed away by the body over the next few months. The process is gradual meaning that there is no danger of your lymphatic system been overloaded. The treatment, which lasts about 1 hour, using multiple applicators simultaneously, is relatively painless. This is followed by a vigorous massage, which for some patients can be uncomfortable. This discomfort is only transient and passes quickly. Patients often work or watch movies throughout. The skin and muscle tissue is unaffected by the procedure because fat freezes at a higher temperature than other cells. The effects can be seen as quickly as four weeks post-treatment.

Although the effects can be seen as quickly as 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment, the full effect of the treatment is seen around 12 weeks post op.

Many patients achieve significant fat loss and changes in their body contours after just one treatment. A single treatment is usually enough for each love handle. A larger tummy area or excessive under arm fat commonly referred to as ‘Bingo wings’ may need two treatments. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a tailored treatment plan that will meet your specific needs.

Compared with other fat reduction treatments, cryolipolysis is generally well tolerated. During the procedure itself, you may experience a slight pulling sensation in the deeper structures. Post treatment massage can be uncomfortable but this can be managed and resolves quickly. There may be some slight swelling, redness, bruising and numbness in the treated area following the procedure, but this should subside relatively soon after treatment. It is important to disclose all medical history prior to treatment. Your assigned practitioner will advise you fully in consultation and answer any questions you have in full. They will also monitor you during treatment, so that your settings can be adjusted accordingly.

Once the treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), they die and are naturally proceed and eliminated from the body. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable..
