Cool sculpting involves cooling fat to freezing temperature to sculpt your body and remove unwanted fat cells. It helps in removing small amounts of extra fat that are resistant to your other efforts to lose weight such as food restriction and exercise. Cool sculpting is however not a treatment for obesity, but is a procedure to help previously obese people achieve their ideal contoured body. Yes, CoolSculpting® can treat visible fat bulges under the chin.
It takes a few months to fully realize the effects, mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. And fat reduction Melbourne yes, you can lose even more with additional appointments. So after a few months, your clothes will fit better and you will look better.

For the abdomen, you may need 1, 2 or 4 applicators, depending on the size and shape of your belly fat and your desired results. Our fat freezing machines can be used all over your body, but are typically most useful to remove unwanted fat on the hips, waist, back, arms, thighs, chin and abdomen. Once the treatment is conducted – there is little you can do to change the number of dead fat cells and hence the amount of fat /weight you will lose. The physical treatment of freezing these cells causes the fat cells to die and hence pass out of your body. Hence a natural clean green diet will allow you to see the results sooner. Going forward you will need to continue with a healthy diet and exercise program.
Our therapists are trained professionals who will make you feel completely at ease and relaxed. To maximise the Lipo Freeze treatment, we recommend that you minimise any significant heating of the body. We recommend further treatments to be between 4 – 6 weeks apart for full benefits. On the day of treatment, measurements and photos will be taken to monitor your results.

The fat in the controlled area is cooled and then frozen solid by the machine, which ruptures the fat cells. During your treatment, a gel pad and applicator will be applied to a specific treatment area. No supplements are required after your CoolSculpting treatment. It’s not a diet and exercise program, so you won’t need to change any of your lifestyle habits. Many patients do feel more motivated to take care of themselves after a CoolSculpting treatment. As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you typically feel intense cold.
During the appointment, the Lipo Freeze device will be placed on the targeted area, where a light suction will draw the area into the device. The area will then be rapidly cooled between -5 to -11 degrees celcius. On average, the sessions last 45 minutes, however areas such as under the chin, require significantly shorter session times. Your therapist will work with you to create a customised treatment plan that will help you achieve your body goals. Book a consultation with one of our qualified and experienced therapists.
The clinical trials conducted in 2014 proved a 26% reduction in the treated area on the subjects. It is tricky to see 26% - but this looks like an inch on a normal sized women’s’ hip. With multiple treatments on the same area you will continue to reduce fat cells in the targeted area.

Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells. We often recommend our clients combine fat freezing with fat cavitation to fast track their results. Additionally, many of our clients have had great success complementing their treatment with RF skin tightening. Even with a perfectly healthy lifestyle, our metabolism tends to slow down over time, leading to an acceleration of fat storage. These techniques work together to strengthen the skin tissue and reduce the fat. I had 8 sessions of both treatments, the cavitation uses a low frequency ultrasound to produce a strong wave of pressure to the fat cell membranes, the pressure makes it disintegrate into a liquid state.
Also, the elasticity of the skin will improve, due to the increased collagen, and the overall circumference of the targeted area will reduce. The procedure is not painful, but it can be uncomfortable, due to the coldness of the treatment process. You may experience a “pins and needles” type of feeling, but after a few minutes that feeling dissipates. Typically, a single treatment will give you up to 30% reduction (in comparison to our competitors’ 20%) and a larger area in the fat content of a specified target area of the body. Generally we do recommend 1-2 treatment cycles per area or optimum results.

You’ll also get a tingly pins and needles kind of sensation on the treatment area once the applicator has been removed. My appointment was at 6pm but come lunchtime the following day I was back at spin without any issues. The initial sensation will be a light tugging of the skin into the treatment cup. Once the target temperature is reached, the skin will be numb from sensation for most of the session. A light manual massage is given at the end of the treatment to restore sensation and to maximise the benefits of the treatment.
Your care provider will take a detailed medical history and inquire whether you have a sensitivity to cold; or are suffering from Raynaud’s Disease. The provider will also ask you about your goals for the procedure. Here you need to be honest and reasonable about your expectations. We will be able to advise you of the suitability of the area you are wishing treat after an examination. Various studies have shown Cool sculpting to be one of the most effective non-invasive fat reduction procedure.
The result is that fat deposits are dramatically reduced in size, without any effect on the skin or the surrounding tissue. Cool sculpting gets rid of specific fat cells permanently, once targeted fat cells are removed, they are gone for good. However, if you gain weight, the remaining fat cells in other parts of the body expand. The treated areas will remain unchanged but you will gain weight in other areas of the body if you don’t maintain a healthy lifestyle.
