The Science

Cryolipolysis, commonly known as fat freezing, is a non-invasive procedure designed to reduce stubborn fat deposits by using controlled cooling. This scientifically backed treatment targets and eliminates fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin, muscles, or nerves.

During the procedure, a specialised applicator is placed on the treatment area, delivering precise cooling to the underlying fat layers. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than other tissues, making them susceptible to a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. As the cooling technology lowers the temperature of the fat cells, they crystallise and become damaged, triggering the body’s natural elimination process.

Over the following weeks, the body gradually removes these damaged fat cells through the lymphatic system, which is responsible for flushing out cellular waste. Unlike weight loss, which only shrinks fat cells, cryolipolysis permanently eliminates them, leading to a more sculpted and contoured appearance. Because the body does not regenerate fat cells in adulthood, the results are long-lasting, provided a stable weight is maintained.

Cryolipolysis is an effective, non-surgical alternative to traditional fat reduction methods, offering noticeable results without the need for downtime or recovery. This makes it an appealing option for those looking to refine their body contours in a safe and comfortable way.
