How Does Fat Freeze Work?
The science behind how fat freezing work is actually quite simple. Fatty tissue or subcutaneous fat, is more sensitive to cold temperatures than any other cells in the body. A membrane is laid on the targeted areas of the body and a handheld device with a suction cup will be used to freeze the stubborn pockets.
Accompanied by the cold temperature, a pulling sensation will be felt. The freezing temperatures will kill fat cells, leading to fat reduction in the treated area. The fat cells destroyed then gets flushed out of your system in standard natural process, resulting in reduced fat layer at the treated area. This non invasive cosmetic procedure is approved by food and drug administration to remove fat bulges on tummy, upper arms, love handles, thighs and more.
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
After your first fat-freezing treatment session of a large area, on average you will see noticeable results (fat removal) within one to three months.
A single session of fat freeze treatment can result in a 20-25% fat loss in the treated area, but you may need more than one session depending on your desired results and the size of your body part. Studies have shown that the average reduction of fat on the side belly was 20.4% at 2 months and 25.5% at 6 months.
Most who have undergone fat freeze are greatly satisfied with their fat reduction treatment after 4 sessions. However, the results of this cosmetic treatment vary depending on several factors and you should check with your provider how many sessions you'd need before undergoing the procedure.
Factors That Influence Fat Freezing Results

A single session of fat freezing typically causes a 20-25% reduction in fat for the treated area. Multiple sessions may be necessary depending on the goal of patient and how much fatty tissues they want gone. With subsequent treatments, more prominent fat removal results will be seen overtime.
2) Size of treatment area
Smaller areas may only require 1-2 treatments, while larger areas like inner and outer thighs or more subcutaneous fat may require 4-6 treatments for optimal results.
3) Client's lifestyle
With this body contouring process, dead fat cells will eventually be broken down and eliminated by the body. However, new fat cells can develop in the treated body part if the patient does not maintain a healthy lifestyle with healthy diet and exercise.
4) Post-treatment measures taken
