“Freezing fat away may seem too good to be true, but the proof is in the pudding – it works!”
What is Fat Freezing?
Understanding Fat Freezing: A Non-Invasive Approach
Fat freezing, scientifically known as cryolipolysis, is an FDA-approved method for reducing unwanted fat in specific areas of the body.
It targets “love handles,” double chin, flabby arms, and other bulges by freezing fat cells. While it can’t eliminate all the fat in one treatment, it promises to remove around 25 percent.
The Process: How Fat Freezing Works
In a comprehensive straw poll conducted with our valued customers in 2023, we gathered insightful feedback on their experiences with our fat freezing treatments. Our clients shared that during the procedure, we skillfully employ paddles to gently suction the skin into a cup. This advanced technique effectively crystallizes the underlying fat cells.
Depending on the specific area being targeted, each session is meticulously timed, usually ranging from 35 minutes to an hour, ensuring optimal results. Our customers also reported that while there’s an initial sensation of coldness and numbness, any discomfort is remarkably minimal, highlighting our commitment to a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
The Science Behind Cryolipolysis: Disabling Fat Cells
Cryolipolysis relies on cooling techniques to selectively target and freeze fat cells in the treated area. This process disables the fat cells, causing them to break down over time. Eventually, your body naturally eliminates these cells and their contents, leading to a permanent reduction in fat cells.
Understanding the principles and mechanisms of fat freezing can help you make an informed decision about whether this non-invasive approach aligns with your body goals. Remember to consult with a qualified professional to assess your suitability for fat freezing and discuss any concerns you may have.
The Science Behind Fat Freezing
We at Wellaholic have seen incredible results with fat freezing treatments. Our customers often ask us how it works, and we’re always excited to explain the science behind it. In our experience, fat freezing can reduce stubborn fat by 20-25% in treated areas. This isn’t just a temporary fix – the results are long-lasting.
The process is pretty cool (pun intended!). When we apply the cooling device to an area, it targets and freezes fat cells without harming the skin. Over time, these frozen fat cells die off and are naturally removed by the body. We’ve noticed that most of our customers start seeing changes within a few weeks, with the full effect visible after about 3 months. It’s amazing to see the transformation, especially in areas like love handles or double chins that often resist diet and exercise.
Fat Freeze is an US FDA-Approved Procedure
The FDA cleared the marketing of the fat freezing method CoolSculpting in 2010 based on results of a study showing that six months after the treatment of love handles in 60 patients, the targeted fat was reduced by an average of 19 percent.
Since then, fat freezing has been catching on nationwide. It is offered by dermatologists and medical spas and is heavily promoted in television commercials. Wellaholic’s WellaFreeze is premised on the same principles as CoolSculpting.
What is the Mechanics of Fat Freezing?
We’ve seen amazing results with fat freezing at Wellaholic. The science behind it is fascinating. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than other tissues. When exposed to precise cooling, they crystallize and die off. Our bodies then naturally remove these dead cells over time.
Research backs up what we see in our clinics. Studies show fat reduction of up to 25% in treated areas. At Wellaholic, we often target stubborn spots like love handles and belly fat. A typical session lasts about an hour. We’ve found that most customers see noticeable changes within 3 months. It’s not instant, but the gradual results look natural. Our customers love that there’s no downtime. They can get back to their day right after treatment.
Does Fat Freezing Work?
We’ve seen the effects of fat freezing up close at Wellaholic. It does work, but it’s crucial to set realistic expectations. Our customers often ask about the limits of fat reduction. From our experience, fat freezing can reduce fat in treated areas by about 20-25% per session. However, it’s not a weight loss solution. It works best for those near their ideal weight who want to target stubborn fat pockets.
Another common concern is loose skin after treatment. While fat freezing doesn’t directly tighten skin, we’ve noticed that many people’s skin adjusts well over time. For some, especially older customers or those with less elastic skin, additional skin tightening treatments might be helpful. We always recommend a personalized approach, considering each person’s unique body and goals.
What are the Side Effects of Fat Freezing?
I often get asked about the side effects of fat freezing treatments like CoolSculpting. While it’s a popular non-invasive option for reducing stubborn fat, it’s important to understand what to expect during and after the procedure.
During the treatment, you might feel some tugging, pinching, or intense cold at the targeted area. This usually subsides within 5-10 minutes as the area becomes numb. Immediately after, it’s common to experience temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or skin sensitivity. Some clients also report a tingling sensation or minor aches, but these typically resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks.
In rare cases, more serious side effects like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) can occur, where the treated fat cells enlarge instead of shrinking. While uncommon, it’s crucial to choose a reputable clinic with experienced practitioners to minimize risks. If you have any concerns or underlying health conditions, always consult with a qualified professional before undergoing fat freezing. At Wellaholic, we prioritize your safety and comfort, so you can feel confident in achieving the body contouring results you desire.
Fat Freezing vs. Other Fat Reduction Methods
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a popular non-invasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat. It’s a great option for those who want to reduce fat without surgery or downtime. However, it’s important to note that fat freezing is best suited for small, localized fat deposits and may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
On the other hand, other methods like liposuction can remove larger amounts of fat in a single procedure. But liposuction is more invasive, requires anesthesia and longer recovery time, and carries more risks. There are also other non-invasive options like laser lipolysis and radiofrequency treatments that use heat to destroy fat cells. Ultimately, the best method depends on your specific goals, body type, and preferences. Feel free to book a consultation with me at Wellaholic – I’m here to help you achieve the body you desire!
The Verdict: Which Method is Best for You?

- Liposuction

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Fat Freezing and How Does it Work?
What exactly is fat freezing and how does this innovative treatment work to reduce stubborn fat? Fat freezing, clinically known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. When exposed to precise cold temperatures (around -5 degrees Celsius), fat cells crystallize and die through a process called apoptosis, while surrounding tissues remain unharmed.
🔵 The treatment works by suctioning the fatty area into an applicator that delivers controlled cooling
🔵 Fat cells are more susceptible to cold damage than other cells in your body
🔵 The frozen fat cells die off gradually over the following 1-3 months
🔵 Your body’s immune system naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells
🔵 The procedure targets subcutaneous fat (the layer just under your skin)
🔵 Results are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, as treated fat cells don’t grow back

Is fat freezing a safe option for body contouring, and what side effects might I experience? Fat freezing is considered a safe procedure when performed by qualified professionals at reputable clinics like Wellaholic.
