Does Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) work?

Where does the fat go?
Once crystallized, the fat cells slowly break down and are transported through the lymphatic system to the liver where they are processed out of the body as waste.
Is Cryolipolysis safe?
Yes. The treatments are non-invasive – meaning the treatment does not penetrate the skin so there is no risk of infection or complication. Our equipment is medical grade and registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Clatuu is entered in the ARTG, #243432.
When will I start to see results?
Results can start to show as quickly as 6 weeks, with optimal results being seen at the 12th-week mark. In your consultation at Body Catalyst, your therapist will discuss your individual goals and expectations, as well as offering a realistic guide to the results you can expect from your treatment.
Does Cryolipolysis hurt?
Fat freezing is suitable for anyone, who wants an effective treatment to help remove pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise.
How long does each treatment take?
Each treatment takes 40 – 60 minutes, which means that it’s a perfect solution for anyone who is time-poor and wants to see noticeable results without having to invest ample amounts of time or money.
Can I return to normal activities after the treatment?
Yes, you can. The procedure is completely non-surgical, and most patients report that they are able to return to normal activities immediately after the procedure has taken place. As traditional surgery - such as tummy tucks - brings with it months of discomfort and disruption to life, fat-freezing is rapidly becoming a popular alternative to the likes of liposuction.
When should you start Cryolipolysis?
When you should start fat freezing is of course up to you and your individual requirements, but as results can take at least four weeks to show – if you’re undergoing fat-freezing for a specific holiday or event – we recommend scheduling your session three months in advance, six at the most.
What are the risks to Cryolipolysis?
There are no known risks to fat freezing, most people do not feel anything during the procedure, there is no downtime and you are able to resume activities as normal immediately after the procedure has finished. It is, however, normal to experience some side effects for up to 2 weeks post-treatment, these can include: Slight redness, Minor swelling, Tenderness, Bruising, Tingling, Numbness, Skin sensitivity, Mild discomfort.
How can I alleviate any discomfort during the treatment?
While most patients report no pain during fat-freezing treatments, it’s not uncommon to feel slight discomfort. Mild painkillers should be enough to alleviate any pain. Please ensure you discuss pain relief with your therapist prior to commencing the treatment so they can ensure advice that is tailored to you.
How can I enhance my results?
Embrace Healthy Habits. While fat freezing is designed to help eliminate stubborn fat, the best results will be achieved if you adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle alongside the fat freezing treatment. We suggest eliminating bad habits – such as smoking, too much alcohol and an excess of sugar, or unhealthy fats in your diet. Speak to your body and wellness therapist about how diet and exercise can help you achieve your body goals.
