Fat Freezing Procedure | Why It's Increasingly Popular In Singapore
In recent years, the fat-freezing procedure has become increasingly popular in Singapore. More and more people are looking for non-invasive ways to contour their bodies, and fat freezing is a safe and effective treatment for fat reduction with minimal downtime.
Fat freezing treatments are safe to reduce excess fat from different areas of the body, such as love handles, arms, chin and thighs. It does so by using advance technology to freeze fat cells and remove the body fat through your lymphatic system.
In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the science behind fat freezing, explain how the procedure looks like, give you an estimate on the number of sessions needed and the duration per treatment.
How does fat freeze work?
The science behind fat freeze treatment is quite simple. It eliminates unwanted fat cells with intense cold temperatures as fatty tissues are more sensitive to cold temperatures than other types of cells in your body. When exposed to extreme cold, the fatty tissue dies while keeping the surrounding cells and skin surface unharmed.
What is the process and procedure of a fat freeze session?
A membrane is laid on the areas of the body with unwanted fat and the fat freeze machine uses a handheld device with a suction cup to freeze the stubborn fat deposits. The intense freezing temperatures will kill fat cells. The dead fat cells then get flushed out of your system in standard natural ways.

How long is a fat-freezing session?
The average duration of a fat-freezing process is between 35 minutes to an hour depending on the body part and the chosen machine settings. This means that most people would only need to set aside an hour for their procedure. However, the time required may vary depending on the size of your treatment site. Do note that for your initial treatment, you may need to factor in time for your therapist to do body measurements for the treatment.
How many sessions of fat freeze do you need?
The answer, unfortunately, is not straightforward. The number of sessions needed for this body contouring treatment depends on your ideal weight and how much unwanted fat you'd like to remove from the targeted areas. Larger areas with more subcutaneous fat may require multiple treatments (four to five cycles) to achieve your desired results. Smaller areas would usually only require one or two sessions to eliminate fat.
As a business that does 800+ treatments a month, we've seen clients get great results as quickly as in 3 sessions. However, others take 10 sessions and this is because everyone has different body goals and reactions to the treatment.
Aftercare tips to improve results
1) Healthy lifestyle
Maintain a low level of visceral fat in your abdominal area. Visceral fat is dangerous as it accumulates around your organs. Fat freeze procedure targets only stubborn subcutaneous fat and not visceral fat. To reduce visceral levels, maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle by getting enough sleep and exercising regularly.
2) Gently massage the treated area to improve blood circulation
A light massage after your fat-freezing sessions improves the effects of the treatment. A massage will increase blood flow and stimulate the lymphatic system. This is important as it helps bring the dead fat cells into the bloodstream, which transports them to the liver where it gets broken down and removed from the body.
3) Drink 2 litres of water a day
Keeping yourself hydrated by drinking 2 Litres of water a day will help speed up the healing process as your body becomes more effective in removing waste material.
4) Wear compression garments
A tip that many physicians recommend post-surgery is compression clothing, like Spanx. Though a compression garment can't guarantee better results overall, coolsculpting patients say they feel better faster when wearing one for a few weeks after their treatment. Compression garments increase lymphatic flow and blood flow to the limbs by keeping the area tight around the skin.
