Is WellaFreeze the same as CoolSculpting?
No, while both WellaFreeze and CoolSculpting use the scientific principle of Cryolipolysis for targeted fat reduction, they differ. Wellaholic’s WellaFreeze 360 in Singapore utilizes advanced 360-degree probes, enabling clients to treat more areas simultaneously for the same budget, offering enhanced efficiency and value over branded alternatives.
Fat Freezing vs. CoolSculpting vs. Cavitation: The Ultimate Slimming Comparison Guide (2026)
With so many slimming options flooding the Singapore market, how do you actually choose? Between “freezing,” “melting,” and “shocking” your fat cells, the terminology can get overwhelming fast. Do you need cold or heat? Muscle building or fat removal?
Confusion ends here. At Wellaholic, we believe in transparency over hype. We have consolidated the data from our top treatments to provide the ultimate decision-making tool. Here is the science-backed breakdown to help you decide exactly which treatment fits your body goals.

Section 2: Fat Freezing (WellaFreeze) vs. CoolSculpting
Many customers ask: “Is WellaFreeze the same as CoolSculpting?” The Answer: They use the exact same scientific principle—Cryolipolysis—but the delivery method and pricing differ significantly.
- The Science is Identical: Both devices cool fat cells to approximately 4°C (39°F). At this specific temperature, fat cells crystallize and undergo apoptosis (cell death), while your skin and nerves remain unharmed. Over the next 1-3 months, your body naturally eliminates these dead cells.
- The Technology Difference (Gen 1 vs. Gen 4):
- Traditional CoolSculpting typically uses two side-plates to freeze fat “sandwiched” between them.
- WellaFreeze 360 uses 4th Generation probes with 360-degree surround cooling. This increases the cooling surface area by roughly 37%, allowing for a higher fat reduction rate (up to 33% vs. 25%) and cutting treatment time from 60 minutes down to just 30 minutes.
- The “Nett Pricing” Factor: CoolSculpting involves heavy global branding costs, which are passed down to the consumer. WellaFreeze offers the same biological result without the “brand tax,” making it the clear choice for savvy spenders.
Expert Insert: “We frequently see clients switch from branded CoolSculpting to WellaFreeze 360. They realize they can treat more areas—like the arms, thighs, and flanks simultaneously—for the same budget, thanks to the efficiency of the 360-degree probes.” — Serene Chiam, Director of Wellaholic
Section 3: Fat Freezing vs. Fat Cavitation
This is the most common point of confusion. Should you freeze it or melt it?
- The Mechanism:
- Fat Freezing (WellaFreeze): Uses Cold. It kills the fat cell permanently. Once the cell is dead and flushed out by the lymphatic system, it cannot grow back.
- Cavitation (WellaCavi): Uses Ultrasound/Heat. It creates bubbles around fat deposits that implode, causing the fat cell to empty its contents (liquefied fat).
- The Verdict:
- Choose Freezing for bulk reduction and permanent results.
- Choose Cavitation for smoothing cellulite or “fine-tuning” an area after freezing.
- Why Freezing Wins for Longevity: Cavitation empties the cell, but the cell structure often remains. If you gain weight, those cells can refill. Freezing physically removes the cell count, making it harder to regain bulk in that specific area.
Expert Insert: “I usually recommend a staggered approach. Start with Fat Freezing to de-bulk the heavy areas. Then, follow up with Cavitation to smooth out any lumpiness and tighten the skin. It’s the perfect one-two punch.” — Sizanne Sio, Aesthetic Manager
Section 4: Fat Freezing vs. MagShape (HIEMT/EMS)
Comparing WellaFreeze to WellaMuscle (EMS) is like comparing a surgeon to a personal trainer—they do different jobs.
The Protocol: Use WellaFreeze first to remove the fat layer. Once the area is leaner, use WellaMuscle to sculpt and define the underlying muscle.
Distinction:
- WellaFreeze is purely for Fat Removal. It does not affect muscle.
- WellaMuscle is for Muscle Building. It uses High-Intensity Electromagnetic Technology to force muscles to contract—equivalent to doing 20,000 crunches or squats in 30 minutes.
- Synergy: These treatments stack perfectly.
If you have a layer of fat covering your abs, doing 20,000 crunches won’t show the definition.

Read Actual Review by Customer
I visited Wellaholic for its fat freezing experience. The ambience was comfortable and conducive. My therapist, May, was very friendly. She attended to me and advised me on WellaFreeze. WellaFreeze is done starting with a warm sensation, this is followed by the cold freezing. The suction was gentle and painless. It is my first session and I hope I will see some results when I come back for the next one. Overall, it is a good experience. (Source: Tripadvisor Review)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I do Freezing and Cavitation on the same day?
A: Yes. We recommend Cavitation immediately after Freezing to help massage the crystallized fat cells and accelerate the breakdown process.
Q: Is the 360 probe more painful than the old plates?
A: Actually, it is often less painful. The 360 probes use “Breathing Technology” which adjusts suction pressure, minimizing the bruising often associated with older suction-cup methods.
Q: How fast will I see results?
A: WellaMuscle results are often felt immediately (muscle soreness) and seen in 4 weeks. WellaFreeze results take longer (4–12 weeks) as the body metabolizes the dead fat cells.
Q: Can fat freezing treatments be used on all areas of the body?
A: Fat freezing treatments are versatile and can be used on various body parts, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. However, effectiveness may vary depending on the area treated.
