How does fat freezing work?

Cryosculpt by Body Curve targets and removes fat cells in localised areas of the body using a non-invasive applicator. The method of fat freeze is based on a process called cell apoptosis, or programmed fat cell death. Cold temperatures cause the targeting fat cells to freeze (crystalise) and thus die. The crystallised fat cells are then eliminated from the body by lymphatic drainage.

First consultation

Your first consultation will include a physical examination and measurements of a few body parameters. The areas of the body that need to be treated will be carefully assessed and marked. You will also be provided with a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. First visits usually take between 60 and 75 minutes and include a 15-30 minute consultation and body analysis.

Fat freezing treatment

During the treatment, we will apply an applicator and gel pad to the area that needs to be treated. This process is not painful, and it only feels like a vacuum suction when your targeted areas are drawn into the applicator and held in place between cooling panels. The target area will be cooled to a therapeutic temperature, causing fat cells to undergo cryolysis. One treatment session takes approximately 45 minutes. It is possible to apply two applicators at once.

Recommended protocol

It is generally recommended to take one intensive fat reduction treatment per month. In any case, it depends on many factors, so it is best to schedule a consultation with Shens Therapeutics to determine what number of sessions will be best for you.

Body Curve Cryosculpt fat freeze treatment is a non-invasive and painless procedure that does not require downtime. You can get back to your normal routine right away. On the day of treatment and every subsequent day following, it is important that you drink at least 1.5 litres of water to assist your body in naturally flushing away metabolised products.

Usually, you are able to return to work and resume normal activities right after treatment. However, be aware that there may be discomfort and slight swelling to the treatment areas after the initial suction. It is also possible to experience some redness, but it will subside after a few hours. Some people with sensitive skin may experience minor bruising, but this will go away in a few days to a week.

During the treatment, an applicator is applied to the target area, and you will feel a vacuum suction when your target area is drawn into the applicator and held in place between cooling panels. The target area will be cooled to the therapeutic temperature causing fat cells to go through cryolysis.

You can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment. It is recommended that you drink at least 1.5 litres of water on the day of treatment and subsequent days to assist your body to naturally flush away metabolised products.

Recommended protocol: Intensive treatment (1 session monthly). A consultation is required to determine the number sessions for best results.

Fat cells that have been destroyed don't grow or return, which makes the results potentially permanent. However, if you gain weight, you'll gain fat in the treated area as well. In order to keep your newly sculpted figure, it is crucial to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.

The first results of this fat reduction treatment will be apparent approximately three weeks after the procedure. Nevertheless, you can expect to see more dramatic improvements after two months.

The dead fat cells will continue to break down during the next few months. So, you can expect to see your final results within six months to one year after the treatment.

Fat freezing is generally a safe procedure that is not associated with any serious complications. There are, however, some temporary side effects that may occur, including:

swelling

bruising

skin sensitivity

discomfort, tingling or aching in the treatment area.

These complications should resolve on their own within two to three days. You can take painkillers to reduce soreness if needed.

Fat freeze treatment is suitable for patients with stubborn fat and localised fat bulges that cannot be reduced through diet or exercise. Specifically, the procedure aims to minimise the fat that is above the muscle or subcutaneous fat. This fat is typically soft, fluffy, and easily pinchable.

Is Body Curve Cryosculpt a good option for you?

You can easily determine if this fat freeze treatment is right for you. Simply pinch a skinfold between your thumb and index finger. If you have more than two centimetres (close to 2/3 of an inch) of fat between your two fingers, then you may want to consider Body Curve Cryoscult treatment.

How Long Is The Treatment?

The initial visit will take 60-75 minutes as this includes a 15-30 minutes consultation and body analysis. Subsequent treatments are 45 minutes long. Up to 2 applicators can be done during each session.

Will fat freezing work for everyone?

Fat freezing works best on people who have trouble areas and small fat bulges and who don't carry a lot of extra weight. It is ideal for patients who are primarily trying to sculpt specific areas. People with higher BMIs and a bit more weight may not be the right candidates.

Are fat freezing treatments better than Liposuction?

Fat freezing treatments are more efficient at reducing small volumes of fat. They are also a great alternative for those who do not want to undergo general anaesthesia or invasive procedures. Liposuction is a better option for patients who need to remove substantial amounts of fat.

How many fat freezing sessions are required before you see results?

Although visible results may be evident after the first fat freeze treatment, most patients will need two to three sessions per area to reach their goals. However, how many sessions are required for fat freezing depends on which part of the body is targeted and how much fat has to be frozen. In general, it is recommended to space out treatments for the same area by two months.

Do fat freezing treatments tighten your skin?

The FDA has verified that cryolipolysis can be only used to tighten skin only on the chin and neck. Despite many claims that the treatment may help improve skin laxity in other areas, it has not been approved by the FDA.

Will the fat come back?

The eliminated fat will not return as long as you maintain your weight. Gaining weight after your Coolshaping2 treatment may cause you to gain fat back in the treated area.

Do fat freezing treatments work to reduce belly fat?

"Got rid of my stubborn belly fat after regular sessions of Cryosculpt. Love that the treatment is painless, comfortable and super effective!"

Jamus, 38

"I've been an exercise freak but somehow have a stomach pooch that didn't seem to go away. After 3 sessions of fat-freezing, I started to see visible results. On a whole, I am rather satisfied for the amount spent. Besides the transformation, I also enjoyed the great service from the manager Ms Tai as well. "
