Frequently Asked Questions
Is the result permanent?
Unlike many other treatments Cryolipolysis removes the entire fat cell by means of programmed cell death by essentially freezing it to death. With other methods the fat cell is emptied, but the casing remains, which can then fill up again. This is not possible with the Freeze Body Sculpt treatments, because the fat cell is eliminated.
The body is made up of billions of fat cells. At the moment the body is fully grown, the production of new cells stops. Fat cells can then only become larger. Fat cells can reach up to 70 times their original size.
But if you remove fat cells with a Freeze Body Sculpt treatment it will stay away forever.
That is of course no reason to let go of healthy food, the fat cells will still grow in other places in your body.
Healthy and balanced eating remains important!
Does fat freezing really work?
Cryotherapy/Cryolipolysis is a tried and true treatment scientifically proven to eliminate fat cells, tighten skin or improve cellulite.
We have undergone the treatments ourselves and experienced the results personally.
You should start noticing a difference after just one treatment.
How many treatments do I need to get results?
Although you will see results from the first treatment, we recommend a series of 6-10 treatments to achieve optimal results based on your desired outcome.
For fat freezing treatments, we see on average a reduction of between 2 and 4cm achieved per treatment. The process of completely eliminating the fat cells takes 14 days.
How long does each treatment take?
A treatment takes between 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How often can you have treatments?
It takes about 14 days before all the dead fat cells are eliminated from the body. So we recommended 2 weeks between treatments on the same area. However, skin firming and cellulite reduction can be done as often as you like.
Who are the best candidates for treatments?
Anyone can benefit from a treatment, depending on their desired outcome and treatment sought.
However, Freeze Body Sculpt fat reduction treatments are designed for adults with a healthy diet and body weight (BMI >30) who want to get rid of a problem zone or spot reduce. A problem zone is a favourite place of for the body to store fat cells. The best-known example of this is the belly. Losing weight or exercise is usually not sufficient to correct a specific area. Freeze Body Sculpt can offer a definitive solution here.
Will my skin become slack when I undergo treatment and the fat cells are gone?
The skin may feel a little softer after the treatment, but it quickly recovers. A small layer of fat cells is broken down each treatment so loose skin is not evident. The treatment also stimulates collagen production and this promotes the elasticity of the skin.
Can the treatment cause harm to your health?
Freeze Body Sculpt treatments only tackle the fat cells and leaves organs, skin, etc. completely untouched.
It is one of the safest ways to remove fat, reduce cellulite and tighten skin; it is a completely non-invasive treatment. The fat cells are hypersensitive to cold, by cooling the skin to a temperature of 8 ° C only the fat cells freeze; the other cells, the skin and the organs are not damaged.
Are there any side effects?
The devices we use at Freeze Body Sculpt are TGA- certified and are safe and harmless. The area being treated may be a little red after the treatment (this usually subsides within 1/2 and hour). There is no downtime and no pain, you can return to normal activity immediately after the treatment.
