Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
Fat freezing, medically known as Cryolipolysis, is a cutting-edge, non-surgical body sculpting treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat deposits by using precisely controlled cooling technology. This innovative procedure targets and destroys fat cells beneath the skin without harming surrounding tissues, providing a safe, effective alternative to liposuction with no downtime and long-lasting results.
Cryolipolysis works because fat cells are more sensitive to cold than skin, muscle, or nerves. By cooling fat cells to a temperature that causes them to crystallise, the treatment triggers a natural process known as apoptosis—a programmed cell death that allows the body to gradually break down and eliminate these fat cells over time.
As the body metabolises the damaged cells through the lymphatic system, the treated area becomes slimmer, smoother, and more contoured.
How Cryolipolysis Works
Targeted Suction & Cooling
During treatment, a vacuum applicator gently draws the fatty area into the device, isolating it from the surrounding tissue. This ensures cooling is delivered precisely where needed.
Controlled Cooling Process
The applicator lowers the temperature to a level that freezes fat cells without damaging skin, nerves, or blood vessels. You may feel initial coldness, pulling, or tingling, which gradually subsides as the area becomes numb.
Fat Cell Crystallisation
Fat cells begin to crystallise and break apart. This process is non-inflammatory and does not affect the integrity of the skin.
Natural Elimination
Over the next 6–12 weeks, the body naturally processes and removes these dead fat cells. Once removed, they do not regenerate.
Visible Contouring
The treated area becomes noticeably slimmer, firmer, and more sculpted, offering a refined, contoured shape.

Areas Commonly Treated with Fat Freezing
Cryolipolysis is highly versatile and can be used on multiple body zones, including:
-
Abdomen (upper & lower)
-
Flanks / love handles
-
Back fat / bra bulge
-
Inner and outer thighs
-
Arms
-
Buttock “banana rolls”
-
Hips and waist
-
Submental area (double chin)
-
Lower back
Each area can be treated individually or combined for a full-body sculpting strategy.
Key Benefits of Fat Freezing
Permanent Fat Cell Reduction
Once eliminated, fat cells do not return. The fat layer in the treated area becomes permanently thinner, and results are maintained as long as a stable lifestyle is upheld.
Precision Body Contouring
Fat freezing is designed to shape and refine specific problem areas rather than reduce overall body weight. This makes it ideal for clients with stubborn fat pockets that resist exercise and healthy eating.
Non-Invasive with No Downtime
There are no needles, cuts, scars, or anaesthesia. You can return to work, exercise, and daily activities immediately after treatment.
Safe and Clinically Backed
Cryolipolysis is supported by years of clinical research and is widely regarded as one of the safest non-surgical fat reduction methods available.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
Because fat is eliminated slowly, results develop naturally over time, avoiding the sudden “dramatic” changes associated with surgery.
Price list for fat freezing (available at Capalaba Clinic only)
-
Wear loose clothing to reduce pressure on the treated area.
-
Massage the Area Post-Treatment. A massage right after the treatment improves improves lymphatic drainage.
-
Warm compress are recommended as they reduce cramping and discomfort.
-
To improve lymphatic drainage , compression garments are recommended.
-
Drink up to 2l a day to flush the dead cell.
-
Maintain a healthy low calorie diet.
-
Continue with your daily exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions – Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
What is Fat Freezing?
Fat Freezing, also known as Cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and destroy stubborn fat cells. The body then naturally eliminates these cells over several weeks, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
Is Fat Freezing safe?
Yes. Fat Freezing is backed by clinical research and is widely considered one of the safest non-invasive fat reduction treatments. It does not require needles, surgery, anaesthesia, or downtime.
How does Fat Freezing work?
The applicator cools fat cells to a temperature that causes them to crystallise. Once damaged, the body naturally processes and removes these fat cells through the lymphatic system. Surrounding tissues—such as skin, muscle, and nerves—are not affected.
What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include:
-
Abdomen
-
Love handles / flanks
-
Thighs (inner & outer)
-
Arms
-
Back fat & bra line
-
Chin (double chin)
-
Buttocks (banana rolls)
-
Hips & waist
Am I a good candidate for Fat Freezing?
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Have stubborn fat pockets that resist diet & exercise
-
Are near your ideal weight
-
Prefer non-surgical options
-
Want gradual, natural-looking body contouring
Fat Freezing is not a weight-loss solution.
Does Fat Freezing hurt?
Most clients find the treatment comfortable. You may feel cold, tingling, or pulling during the first few minutes, but the area becomes numb quickly. After treatment, mild soreness or numbness may occur temporarily.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can resume normal activities immediately. Temporary redness, swelling, numbness, or tenderness may occur but usually resolves quickly.
Are the results permanent?
Yes—once the treated fat cells are destroyed and removed, they do not return. Maintaining results depends on a stable lifestyle, as remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.
What does it feel like after treatment?
Some clients experience temporary numbness, swelling, firmness, or sensitivity in the treated area. These effects are normal and typically subside within a few days to weeks.
