What is Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)?
Fat freezing, scientifically known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive body contouring procedure approved by health authorities including Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA). This procedure effectively reduces unwanted fat cells by exposing them to controlled cooling temperatures.
The innovative method works by crystallizing fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates through its metabolic processes over several weeks. This leads to a more sculpted appearance in treated areas.

Understanding Fat Freezing: What is Fat Freezing and How Does It Work?

The innovative method works by crystallizing fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates through its metabolic processes over several weeks. This leads to a more sculpted appearance in treated areas.
Wellaholic’s expert team utilizes advanced technology to ensure precise and safe treatments for customers across Singapore. Clinical studies demonstrate up to 34% fat loss per session.
How Does Fat Freezing Technology Target Specific Concerns?
Cryolipolysis works by targeting and freezing fat cells without harming surrounding tissues. This is a precise process where fat cells crystallize and are naturally flushed out by the body’s metabolic processes. The advanced cryolipolysis technology employed at Wellaholic precisely cools fat cells to a temperature that causes them to die off. This ensures effective and lasting results for localized fat deposits in Singapore patients. Our certified therapists ensure optimal application for various body curves and contours.
What Makes 360 Fat Freeze Different from Traditional Fat Freeze?
The WellaFreeze™ 360 Advanced Fat Freeze at Wellaholic distinguishes itself with 360° surround cooling technology. This enhances fat reduction per session compared to traditional methods.
The innovative 360-degree approach allows for more comprehensive coverage and improved fat loss. Treatment duration is reduced from 60 to just 30 minutes.
The “breathing” technology minimizes bruising, a common concern in fat freezing treatments. This makes it a more comfortable option for Singapore customers seeking body contouring solutions.
“Freezing your fat may seem like a convenient solution, but it’s important to remember that safety always comes first.”
How to Ensure a Safe Fat Freezing Procedure
Ensuring a safe fat freezing experience at Wellaholic Singapore begins with comprehensive pre-treatment consultation and clear post-care guidance. Each WellaFreeze™ 360 session lasts just 30 minutes.
The treatment is designed for maximum comfort and minimal discomfort. Clients typically experience a strong suction sensation followed by a cooling feeling.
Our certified therapists meticulously prepare the treatment area. They apply a protective gel membrane to prevent skin damage during the cryolipolysis procedure.
What Should You Do Before a Fat Freezing Session?
Prior to your fat freezing session in Singapore, follow these preparation guidelines:
Ensure you are well-hydrated before your appointment. Avoid blood-thinning medications for a few days to minimize bruising risk.
Wellaholic’s expert team will conduct a thorough assessment to determine your suitability for the treatment. They will tailor a treatment plan to your specific body contouring goals.
This personalized approach ensures the safest and most effective outcomes for Singapore customers.
What Happens During a WellaFreeze™ 360 Treatment?
During the WellaFreeze™ 360 treatment, a specialized applicator is placed on the targeted area. This gently suctions the skin and begins the controlled cooling process. Customers typically experience an initial cold sensation that quickly subsides.
The treatment allows for a comfortable 30-minute session. Our advanced “breathing” technology within the probes further minimizes discomfort and potential bruising during the process.
This enhances the overall customer experience at Wellaholic Singapore.
What Post-Treatment Care is Recommended for Optimal Results?
After your fat freezing session, mild redness or numbness in the treated area is common and usually resolves within a few weeks. Follow these post-treatment care recommendations for optimal results:
Apply gentle massage to the treated area. Stay well-hydrated to aid the body’s natural elimination of fat cells.
Wellaholic recommends these simple aftercare steps for Singapore customers. Our team provides detailed post-care instructions.
We are available for any follow-up questions throughout your entire body transformation journey in Singapore.
Potential Fat Freezing Dangers: What You Need to Know
While fat freezing is an increasingly popular non-invasive procedure for reducing unwanted fat, it’s crucial to be aware of potential risks like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH). Instead of the fat cells dissolving as intended, they may actually increase in size with PAH.
While fat freezing is an increasingly popular non-invasive procedure for reducing unwanted fat, it’s crucial to be aware of potential risks like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH). Instead of the fat cells dissolving as intended, they may actually increase in size with PAH.
While fat freezing is an increasingly popular non-invasive procedure for reducing unwanted fat in Singapore, it’s crucial to be aware of potential risks. One rare complication is paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a condition where fat cells actually increase in size instead of dissolving as intended. This condition affects an estimated 0.5% to 1% of people who undergo fat freezing treatments in Singapore.
Although this incidence rate is uncommon, it’s important to discuss the possibility with your provider at your consultation. PAH typically appears 2 to 9 months after receiving fat freezing treatment. Follow-up monitoring is key to early detection and management.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) recommends choosing clinics that provide comprehensive post-treatment care and monitoring to minimize such risks.
I recall a customer at Wellaholic, Praveen, who was considering CoolSculpting. After walking her through the potential PAH complication and the importance of follow-ups, she ultimately decided the small risk wasn’t worth the stress and opted for a less invasive radio frequency treatment instead.
In addition to rare but serious effects like PAH, temporary side effects like redness, numbness, bruising, swelling, pain, and skin sensitivity at the treatment site are more common. While these usually resolve on their own, it’s still smart to weigh the potential downsides against the benefits of fat freezing.
Your safety and peace of mind should always come first.
