How does fat freeze work?
The science behind how fat freeze works is actually quite simple. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than other types of cells in your body. When exposed to extreme cold, the fat cells begin to die.
A membrane is laid on the areas of the body with unwanted fat and the fat freeze machine uses a suction cup to freeze the fats. The intense cold temperature will kill fat cells. The dead fat cells then get flushed out of your system in standard natural ways.
Over time, this process results in a noticeable fat loss in the treated area. Studies show that Cryolipolysis treatment can reduce stubborn fat by up to 25% after just one treatment. And, unlike other fat-reduction treatments, coolsculpting fat freezing procedure has no risk of saggy and loose skin.

What are the pros and cons of fat-freezing treatments?
Pros:
It is non-invasive
The fat freezing cryolipolysis is a non invasive procedure. The fat freezing treatments use a device that has a number of applicators that come in different sizes to work on different parts of the body with stubborn fat pockets such as the belly, arm, inner and outer thighs. A therapist will place the applicator on the treated area and it uses cool energy to eliminate fat cells under your skin surface.
There is little to no pain associated with this treatment, as many have described their experience as tolerable as the slight discomfort involved is due to the suction from the applicators similar to a cupping treatment.
The treatment time is short
Each fat freezing session can last anywhere from 35 minutes to one hour, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
There is a short recovery period
Clients can resume their normal activities immediately after the fat freezing treatment and there is no anaesthesia required, unlike other invasive procedures such as traditional liposuction.
On the other hand, fat freezing also has its own set of cons:
It can have side effects
Some clients do experience heightened skin sensitivity, and numbness. Others observe redness or swelling in affected areas after their fat freezing treatments which will typically recede within a few weeks. All these can also be treated or minimized with proper fat freezing do's and don'ts.

It requires more than one session
For best weight loss results, doctors usually recommend between two and four sessions of fat freezing treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. A single treatment will not yield the best results for you. This can be costly for some patients.
It is not a permanent solution
Fat cells that are frozen during the treatment will eventually be broken down and eliminated by the body. However, new fat cells can develop in the treated area if the patient does not maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise.
Who is it for?
Fat freezing is not for everyone. In order to have visible fat removal results, the ideal candidate for the procedure is someone who has more pinchable fat than the skin on stubborn areas.
If you are considering fat freezing, it is important to consult with a doctor or specialist to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
