3D Lipo Fat Freeze (Cryolipolysis)
Fat freezing, also known as 3D Lipo , is a form of non-surgical liposuction used to reduce pockets of excess body fat. It works by freezing and killing fat cells in the part of your body that you’re having treated. Over time, the cells are naturally broken down by your body and flushed out through your liver.
This advanced fat reduction technology delivers precise and controlled cooling to gently target the fat cells underneath the Skin. These cells are crystalised and die, during the procedure. Over time your body naturally process’s the frozen fat cells and eliminates them in the following 3 months.
How does it work?
The cosmetic treatment is based on a technique called cryolipolysis, where fat cells are destroyed by cooling them to very low temperatures.
Fatty bulges, which can't be got rid of through diet or exercise alone, are the target.
They tend to be located under the chin, around the thighs, the abdomen, back or upper arms.
When placed in a clamp, attached to a machine and cooled, the fat in these areas becomes damaged and over a few weeks the body absorbs the damaged cells, reducing the fat.
The treatment has become popular because it's relatively quick, doesn't involve surgery and is an alternative to liposuction, when fat is sucked out from under the skin - usually under general anaesthetic.
The effects of Fat Freezing were first discovered through ice-lollies! Doctors noted permanent dimples had appeared in the fragile fat of children’s cheeks after consuming large quantities of ice-lollies, indicating that fat can be permanently removed from the body when subjected to isolated cold temperatures.
Of course the technique for Fat Freezing has developed a lot since this initial discovery, but the general notion behind it remains the same. This is how it works:
The unwanted fatty adipose tissue sits near the surface of the skin. This is targeted and suctioned into the handheld Fat Freezing device to be cooled.
The blue cells in this image represent the fat that has been damaged by the cool temperatures. The cells begin to break down and slowly leave the body via the lymphatic system, which is a natural and safe process in for the body to dispose of fat.
Why Choose Fat Freezing?
-
Painless
Non-surgical procedure with no downtime
-
Quick
Sessions are complete in just 70 minutes

Prices
Single freeze session £100
2 cup freeze session £150
Please note more than 1 session may be required to achieve the desired results
Within a few weeks the damaged fat will have completely left the body and contours will have been significantly improved. Fat cells cannot reform once removed but, as not all fat cells are removed during the procedure, a healthy diet and exercise regimen must be maintained.
