How Effective Is Fat Freeze?

Fat Freeze is a safe and effective treatment to get rid of stubborn fat. The satisfaction rate for this procedure is high. More than 85% of patients are "very satisfied" with the results after 12 weeks post final treatment.

Although fat freezing procedure is effective, it does take time for results appear. This is due to the nature of how the cryolipolysis treatment works. The treatment uses intense cold temperature to freeze the fat cells and cause cell death. The body takes a few weeks to naturally get rid of these dead fat cells.

A single session of Fat freeze can result in a 20-25% fat loss in the treated area, but you may need more than one session depending on your desired goal 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.

3) Number Of Sessions

Number of sessions can affect the extent of results. Larger areas with more subcutaneous fat may require multiple sessions- three to four treatments. Smaller areas would usually only require one or two sessions.

4) The Aftercare:

After your coolsculpting treatment, it's important to take care of your skin. This means avoiding sun exposure, wearing sunscreen when you are outdoors, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. These measures will help protect your skin while it heals. Since coolsculpting does not get rid of visceral fat, a healthy diet and exercise is necessary to maintain the effectiveness of treatment.
