A vastly popular treatment to reduce stubborn or excess fat, cryolipolysis is extremely effective and can leave you with up to 20 – 30% permanent reduction in fat cells.
Excess fat can be upsetting for some people, and leave them feeling both self conscious and unattractive. Although we all vary in shape and size, it is common for people to want to look and feel their best. Through a process of controlled cooling, the applicator is passed over the area of concern and fat cells are literally frozen and destroyed. This helps to achieve a slimmer more toned physique.
The body will need some time to flush out the dead fat cells, and therefore results can be seen in anything up to 3 months post treatment. As this is a permanent reduction of fat, these cells will not recur, however, it is important to note that this does not mean you can no longer gain weight. It is for this reason that you should always continue to live a healthy lifestyle after your treatment to enjoy long lasting, permanent results.

Cryolipolysis is not a replacement for diet & exercise, and nor is it a solution for excessive weight gain. It should be used as part of a healthy lifestyle to target excess or stubborn pockets of pinchable fat.
