Cool Sculpting (Cryo-lipolysis)
CoolSculpting, also known as cryo-lipolysis, is a popular non-surgical treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat pockets that resist traditional diet and exercise. Using advanced cooling technology, CoolSculpting targets and freezes fat cells, allowing the body to naturally process and remove them over time. The result is a smoother, more contoured appearance without surgery, needles, or significant downtime.

What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved, clinically proven treatment that works by applying controlled cooling to targeted fat cells. This process, known as cryo-lipolysis, safely cools fat cells until they reach a temperature where they break down, while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. Over the following weeks, the body gradually removes these damaged fat cells, leading to a more refined body shape.
Benefits of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical option for reducing areas of unwanted fat. This treatment, which uses controlled cooling, can be an option for those seeking a minimally invasive approach.
- Non-invasive, with no anaesthesia needed
- Minimal recovery time in most cases
- Can target specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks
- Gradual results that appear over time
- Customisable to suit different body areas
Note: Results and experience can vary for each individual, and CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss solution.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting uses an applicator device placed over the targeted area. This applicator administers controlled cooling, which crystallises (freezes) the fat cells without affecting the skin, nerves, or surrounding tissue. Once frozen, these fat cells die and are processed naturally by the body. While results vary, many people notice a visible reduction in fat as early as 3–4 weeks after treatment, with optimal results appearing within 2–3 months.
Common Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting can be used to treat various stubborn fat areas, including:
- Abdomen and stomach
- Flanks (love handles)
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Upper arms
- Back and bra area
- Double chin
What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment
Consultation:
Before your treatment, we’ll conduct a consultation to assess your goals and determine the most effective areas for CoolSculpting. This will help create a personalised plan to achieve the best possible results.
During Treatment
The CoolSculpting procedure typically takes around 35–60 minutes per area, depending on the treatment plan. Some patients feel a cooling sensation initially, which usually subsides as the area numbs.
After Treatment
Most individuals experience little to no downtime and can resume normal activities immediately. Mild side effects, such as slight redness, swelling, or numbness, may occur but usually resolve within a few days.

CoolSculpting is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have small, localised areas of fat that are resistant to other methods. While it is not a weight-loss treatment, it can be an effective solution for refining body contours. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your suitability and what kind of results you can expect based on your goals.
FAQs
How soon will I see results?
Results vary, but many patients begin to see changes within a few weeks after treatment. The most noticeable results are usually visible within 2–3 months as the body naturally processes the frozen fat cells.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the area and your desired outcome. Some patients achieve their goals with just one session, while others may benefit from multiple treatments.
Are results permanent?
CoolSculpting removes targeted fat cells, so they are not expected to return. However, maintaining results depends on a balanced diet and regular exercise.
What are the risks or side effects?
Side effects are typically mild and include redness, swelling, numbness, or slight bruising. These effects usually resolve on their own within a few days to a few weeks.
Can CoolSculpting help with weight loss?
CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body contouring treatment for reducing specific areas of fat. For significant weight loss, other methods may be more appropriate.
Is CoolSculpting painful?
Most patients find CoolSculpting to be comfortable. You may feel an intense cooling sensation at first, which typically subsides as the area becomes numb.
