What is Fat Freezing And What Does it Do?
In essence, fat freezing, technically known as Cryolipolysis, is a revolutionary treatment that employs controlled cooling to damage and eliminate subcutaneous fat cells. The magic lies in its ability to target fat without causing harm to the skin. The treatment involves using a portable device that suctions and lifts the specific area away from the body, isolates it for the procedure, and then slowly cools it to a temperature between -15°C and -5°C.
The body’s natural processes take over from here. Once the fat cells are frozen, they are gradually broken down and eliminated by the body, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
Areas Treated
Fat freezing isn’t limited to one area. It’s a versatile treatment capable of targeting various trouble spots, including the abdomen, love handles, bra fat, back fat, double chin, upper arms and more. The professional machine is equipped with customizable headers for different parts of the body, making it a fantastic choice for individuals with specific areas they wish to address.
Benefits
Targeted Fat Loss
It works precisely on the targeted area by applying controlled cold.
No Downtime
You can return to your daily activities without taking day off for recovery.
Safe & Painless
It’s no more than feeling like holding a bag of ice on your skin!
Affordability
When compared to surgical alternatives in Scotland, fat freezing is a cost-effective choice.
Are the Effects Permanent?
Absolutely, once treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good! However, it’s important to note that maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle can significantly contribute to the long-term effectiveness of the treatment. Developing good habits like regular exercise, a balanced diet, and staying well-hydrated can help support your body’s natural processes for waste removal and enhance the lasting results of fat freezing.

When Will You See the First Effects?
Most people usually start to see changes in about 2 to 6 months after their treatment. But keep in mind, the time it takes can be different for each person. It depends on things like how your metabolism works, the way you live your life, and the areas you’re treating. If you do things like regular exercise, eat a balanced diet, and drink enough water, it can help speed up the process. Just remember, it’s important to be patient and stick to your treatment plan.
Number of Sessions and Interval
The number of sessions may vary depending on individual goals and target areas. Typically, a minimum of two sessions is required spaced 6 weeks apart.
During the Treatment
During the initial consultation, the practitioner will assess any contraindications and check if the area you’ve chosen for fat freezing is suitable. If it is, measurements and photos will be taken to track your progress.
An anti-freezing membrane will be applied to protect your skin from frostbite. The applicator will use suction to isolate the targeted area away from your body and initially heat it up slightly, then gradually cool it down to the desired temperature. The treatment is described as painless; however, you may initially experience an intense cold sensation that quickly numbs the area, which is a natural reaction.
At Pretty & Perfect, we make sure the entire treatment is as comfortable as possible. We have cosy blankets ready for you, and if you’d like, we’ll provide you with a charger in case your phone runs out of battery. Relaxing, watching a movie, or reading a book is recommended to pass the time.
After 30 to 60 minutes, the practitioner will remove the applicator from your body and massage the treated area to relax the skin.
Potential Side Effects & Downtime
Potential side effects are rare, but when they appear, they’re usually mild and can include temporary redness, bruising, swelling, numbness, itchiness, and tingling. These side effects typically resolve on their own within a few days after treatment.
There is typically no downtime associated with this treatment, allowing you to return to your normal activities right away. However, it’s important to adhere to the aftercare instructions.
Before & Aftercare
Before Treatment
- Bring something to read or play with, such as your tablet or smartphone. (Don’t worry if your battery is low; we’ll provide you with a charger!)

After Treatment
- Wear loose clothes in case the treated area swells post-treatment. Swelling usually indicates good results and should subside within a few weeks.
- Using Arnica cream may help with potential bruising.

- Quit or minimize alcohol and cigarettes, as they can impede the recovery process.
