Fat freezing is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment. At Zion Aesthetic Clinic, we tailor this treatment based on your desired target areas to address all facets of stubborn fat, while ensuring efficacy and safety.
How does fat freezing work?
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, works by targeting and destroying fat cells using extreme cold temperatures. Our body is made up of various types of cells, including fat cells. These fat cells have a lower tolerance to cold compared to other types of cells in our body. By exposing the targeted area to controlled cooling, the fat cells freeze and die.
Once the fat cells are destroyed, they will be naturally eliminated from your body through its natural metabolic process. This results in long-term reduction of stubborn fat bulges.
Fat freezing benefits
Aside from its ability to target and reduce stubborn fat, there are other benefits of fat freezing that make it a popular choice for non-surgical fat reduction:
- Non-invasive: Fat freezing is a non-surgical procedure, meaning it does not require any incisions or injections. This makes it a safer and less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction.
- No downtime: Unlike surgery, there is no downtime with fat freezing. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
- Customizable treatment: The applicator used in fat freezing treatments comes in different sizes and shapes, allowing for customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
- Long-term results: Fat freezing targets and destroys fat cells permanently, resulting in long-term reduction of stubborn fat. With a healthy lifestyle, the results can be maintained for years to come.
Body type for fat freeze
Fat freezing is suitable for people of all body types.
- Ectomorphs (lean body type) may have small areas of stubborn fat that they want to reduce, while endomorphs (larger body type) may have more significant areas of concern.
- Mesomorphs (athletic body type) may also benefit from fat freezing to target specific areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
- Endomorphs with a BMI of 30 or below and ectomorphs with a BMI of 25 or below are typically considered good candidates for fat freezing.
Fat freezing treatment area
- Thighs: The upper legs where excess fat can accumulate, often leading to a desire for toned and slim thighs for aesthetic and health reasons.
- Abdomen: The stomach area, a common place for fat storage, where people often aim to achieve a flatter and more defined midsection through various exercises and dietary changes.
- Double chin: Fat beneath the chin, leading to a fuller appearance of the face, which many seek to reduce through targeted exercises or non-invasive procedures.
- Love handles: The sides of the waist where fat can build up, creating a soft, protruding appearance that many individuals aim to slim down for a sleeker silhouette.
- Arms: The upper arms, particularly the triceps area, where fat can cause a lack of muscle definition, prompting people to engage in strength training to tone and firm this area.
Fat freezing treatment process
During a fat freezing treatment, you will first meet with one of our doctors for a consultation to discuss your areas of concern and desired outcome. The doctor will then assess the target areas and determine the best treatment plan for you.
Next, a gel pad or protective membrane will be placed on top of the targeted area to protect your skin from the extreme cold temperatures. The applicator will then be applied on top of the gel pad to deliver controlled cooling to the fat cells underneath. You may feel some mild discomfort, such as pulling or tugging sensation, but this should subside within a few minutes.
The length of each treatment session varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated, but typically it can range from 35 minutes to an hour per targeted area. During this time, you can relax, read a book, listen to music or even take a nap.
What is the difference between fat freezing & liposuction?
While both fat freezing and liposuction aim to reduce stubborn fat, they are different procedures with distinct processes and results.
Fat freezing uses controlled cooling to target and destroy fat cells without any incisions or surgery, resulting in long-term reduction of stubborn fat. Liposuction, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that involves making small incisions and using a thin tube (cannula) to suction out fat from targeted areas.
Additionally, liposuction requires a longer recovery time and may have more risks and potential side effects compared to fat freezing. However, it can also be used for larger areas of fat removal while still achieving immediate results.
Ultimately, the choice between these two procedures depends on your individual preferences and goals.
Is fat freezing safe?
Fat freezing is a safe and FDA-approved treatment for non-surgical fat reduction. It has been extensively studied and proven to be effective in reducing stubborn fat without any significant side effects.
However, it is important to note that the safety of any medical procedure depends greatly on the experience and expertise of the practitioner performing it.

FAQs
Results may vary from person to person, but most individuals see a noticeable difference after just one session. However, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
Each session typically lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Fat freezing is not a weight-loss treatment, but rather a body contouring procedure that targets specific areas of stubborn fat. While some individuals may experience overall weight loss due to the reduction of fat in targeted areas, it is not guaranteed and should not be relied upon as a primary method for weight loss.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the initial cooling process, but it typically subsides as the area becomes numb. Afterward, there may be some soreness or bruising in the treated area, but it should not be significant or long-lasting. Our certified doctors at Zion Aesthetic Clinic also ensure a comfortable and safe treatment experience for our patients.
