As with every MediSpa treatment a thorough consultation takes place prior to your session to determine if you are a suitable candidate. Some types of fat are hard to the touch, due to genetic factors, so they may not respond to treatment. It is important for a trained professional to assess the area you wish to treat in order to ensure that the fat cells will respond to treatment. Soft fat that you can grab hold of in your hand will respond really well, whereas hard fat which is often positioned behind the muscle wall may not respond at all. Certain medical conditions, medication and circulatory disorders may mean that fat freeze is not an option for you, however for more than 80% of our clients Fat Freeze is a viable, safe alternative to cosmetic surgery, with no downtime or pain involved.

A typical session takes 1 hour, although your first session will take a little longer since it involves recording before and after photos and measurements of the area to be treated, so that we can track your results. A specialised gel and fabric are applied to protect the skin from the cold. The applicators are about the size of a 500g brick of butter and use suction technology to lock onto the pockets of fat, drawing them into the suction cups where the pockets of fat are exposed to -10°C for a duration of 50 minutes. At the end of your treatment your therapist will massage the frozen pockets briefly to restore sensation to the surface skin and you will be provided with specific aftercare advice.

Your clinical before and after photos are stored securely on our database and will never be distributed without your written consent, in which event your identity will always be protected.
