Is Fat Freezing permanent?
Yes, Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis) permanently removes targeted fat cells by triggering apoptosis (natural cell death). Clinical research backs this process, ensuring eliminated fat cells do not grow back. Wellaholic in Singapore has performed over 200,000 successful procedures, making it ideal for stubborn areas like the abdomen.
Introduction
Stop searching for the “best” machine and start looking at your fat. The secret to a successful body transformation in Singapore isn’t just about the technology—it’s about matching the technology to your specific biological tissue.
If you are frustrated by a “pooch” that won’t budge or “bat wings” that wiggle despite your gym routine, you likely need a diagnostic approach rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment.
The “Pinch vs. Pull” Diagnostic
Before booking a session, perform this simple self-test used by our senior therapists:
The Pull: If the skin feels soft, stretchy, or looks like “crepe paper” when you pull it, you are dealing with Skin Laxity or Cellulite. This requires tightening through heat.
The Pinch: If you can grab a thick, distinct handful of fat (like a “love handle” or a belly roll), you are dealing with Bulky Fat. This requires volume reduction through freezing.
The Biological Difference
Understanding how these treatments work at a cellular level is the key to managing your expectations and results.
1. Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis): The “Cell Killer” WellaFreeze™ 360 uses controlled cooling to trigger Apoptosis (natural cell death). By cooling fat cells to sub-zero temperatures, they crystallize and die without damaging the surrounding skin. This is the gold standard for removing the “bulk” in areas like the abdomen or thighs.
2. Radiofrequency (RF): The “Shrink-Wrap” WellaSculpt™ uses thermal energy to heat the skin layers to 40-42°C. This performs two functions: it “melts” the contents of fat cells for the body to flush out and triggers Collagen Induction. Think of it as shrink-wrapping your skin so it doesn’t look deflated after fat loss.
“The 40kHz frequency in WellaSculpt™ creates micro-bubbles in the fat cells, while the thermal energy simultaneously tightens the collagen fibers to prevent sagging.”
Comparison Table
| Feature | Fat Freezing (WellaFreeze™ 360) | Radiofrequency (WellaSculpt™) |
| Target Fat Type | Bulky, pinchable fat | Loose fat & Cellulite |
| Mechanism | Cold (Apoptosis) | Heat (Thermal Melting) |
| Sensation | Suction & Cold Numbing | Warm, soothing massage |
| Primary Benefit | Volume Reduction (up to 25%) | Contouring & Tightening |
| Downtime | Zero (Temporary “butter stick” feel) | Zero (Walk-in, walk-out) |
The Experience Factor
What does it actually feel like during a session at our MRT-accessible hubs?
The Fat Freezing Experience: When the WellaFreeze™ 360 handles are applied, you will feel a strong suction sensation as the vacuum pulls the fat into the cooling cup. This is followed by an intense cold feeling that eventually turns into a numbing sensation after about 10 minutes. Once the session ends, the area will feel firm (like a “butter stick”), which our therapists will massage for two minutes to kickstart the fat-flushing process.
The RF (WellaSculpt™) Experience: This treatment is often described as a warm, soothing massage. As the therapist glides the probe over your skin, the temperature gradually rises. It is a relaxing process with no pain, making it ideal for clients with low pain tolerance. You can walk straight from a 30-minute session into a boardroom meeting at Tanjong Pagar without anyone knowing.
“We often observe that the best results come from a hybrid approach: freeze the bulk first, then use RF to polish the texture and ensure the skin remains taut.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Which treatment shows results faster?
RF treatments typically show immediate skin tightening, with progressive fat loss appearing over 4 to 6 weeks. Fat freezing takes longer, usually 8 to 12 weeks, as the body needs time to naturally flush out the dead fat cells.
🔵 RF shows immediate “shrink-wrap” effects.
🔵 Freezing results peak at 3 months.
🔵 Both are non-invasive with zero downtime.
🔵 Consistency with sessions improves the timeline.
Q: Can I combine both treatments in one session?
Yes, our WellaShape™ 3X plan is designed specifically for this “hybrid” approach to prevent skin sagging after fat loss. We recommend freezing the bulky areas and using RF on the surrounding skin to maintain elasticity.
🔵 WellaShape™ 3X allows mix-and-match.
🔵 Targets both fat volume and skin texture.
🔵 Ideal for post-weight loss contouring.
🔵 Performed by certified senior therapists.
Q: Is there any downtime for fat freezing?
There is absolutely zero downtime, although you may feel a temporary “butter stick” sensation in the treated area immediately after the session. This resolves quickly after the post-treatment massage provided by our team.
🔵 No needles or surgery involved.
🔵 Return to work immediately after.
🔵 Temporary redness may occur for a few hours.
🔵 Covered by our Rainy Day Warranty.
Q: How much can I save with the Afternoon Advantage?

🔵 Valid Monday to Friday (excluding PH).
🔵 Requires 6 or 12-month commitment.
🔵 Transparent, Nett pricing with no GST.
Q: Is the fat loss from WellaFreeze™ 360 permanent?

🔵 Eliminated fat cells do not grow back.
🔵 Clinical research backs cryolipolysis.
🔵 Best for “stubborn” areas like the abdomen.
🔵 Backed by 200,000+ successful procedures.
