Introduction: Is Fat Freezing Safe and Risk Free?

Is fat freezing really as safe as it’s made out to be?

We’ve heard this question countless times from our customers at Wellaholic. As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve seen the rise of fat freezing treatments in Singapore and Australia. At Wellaholic, we’ve performed thousands of these procedures, giving us a unique perspective on their safety and effectiveness.

In this article, we’ll share five key facts about fat freezing that we’ve learned through our work and research. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you. We’ll cover everything from how the procedure works to potential risks and side effects. Let’s dive in and separate fact from fiction when it comes to fat freezing safety.

“The key to a healthy life is to find a balance and always trust your body; Fat Freezing can help you do just that safely and without risk.”

It is So Easy to Accumulate Fat Deposits

We at Wellaholic have seen how easy it is for our customers to accumulate fat deposits. In our experience, about 80% of people who come to us for body sculpting treatments struggle with stubborn fat areas. The main culprit? An imbalance between calorie intake and energy use. We’ve noticed that many of our customers lead busy lives, often choosing convenient but calorie-rich processed foods. These foods are usually high in fat and sugar, making it easy to consume more calories than needed.

Another factor we’ve observed is a lack of physical activity. Many of our customers have desk jobs and spend long hours sitting. This sedentary lifestyle doesn’t burn enough calories to offset their food intake. We always remind our customers that regular exercise is key. Even 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week can make a big difference. At Wellaholic, we believe in a holistic approach to fat reduction, combining treatments with lifestyle changes for the best results.

There are Safety Issues Regarding Liposuction

Obviously, some people will certainly inform you obtaining a liposuction will certainly solve all your issues. Nonetheless, although highly efficient when performed suitably by a knowledgeable specialist, lipo is not exactly a stroll in the park.

This extremely intrusive procedure is associated with substantial downtime, feasible side effects ranging from minor to really significant, as well as considerable costs included as a result of the level of competence as well as treatment required. Besides, not everybody is comfortable with the idea of going under a blade for totally appearance-driven factors.

MOH Guidelines for Liposuction

In Singapore, for liposuction, patients who are planning to go for liposuction are usually given 7 days “cooling off” period to consider their decision. This period is mandatory for liposuction, because MOH has tightened the rules for invasive cosmetic procedures in 2011. Also, A doctor who performed a botched liposuction procedure in 2013 has been found liable for negligence in the death of his patient and ordered to pay about S$5.6 million in damages, as ruled by the Singapore High Court in Nov 2020. This shows the risks and dangers related to liposuction.

If only there was a non-surgical procedure that could dissolve fat with no downtime and also very minimal complications…..

Cryolipolysis is a Safer Alternative to Liposuction

We’ve seen a growing interest in fat reduction treatments at Wellaholic, and cryolipolysis has emerged as a popular choice. As aesthetic professionals, we believe it’s important to highlight why this method is often considered safer than traditional liposuction.

Cryolipolysis, or fat freezing, is non-invasive and doesn’t require anesthesia. This significantly reduces the risks associated with surgery. Our customers appreciate that there’s no downtime, allowing them to return to their daily activities right after treatment. In contrast, liposuction is a surgical procedure with potential complications and a longer recovery period. We’ve found that about 95% of our customers prefer non-invasive options when given the choice. The safety profile of cryolipolysis, combined with its effectiveness in reducing fat by up to 25% in treated areas, makes it an attractive alternative for those seeking body contouring without going under the knife.

The average prevalence of overweight among children and adolescents aged 5-19 years in Asia-Pacific was 15.8% and obesity was 5.0% in 2019.

What is Fat Freezing?

We at Wellaholic have seen the growing popularity of fat freezing among our customers. This non-invasive treatment, also known as cryolipolysis, uses cold temperatures to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells. The process is simple: we apply a device to the problem area, which cools the fat cells to around 4°C (39°F). This causes the fat cells to crystallize and die off, without harming the surrounding tissue.

Our experience shows that fat freezing can reduce fat in treated areas by 20-25% after just one session. Many of our customers see noticeable results within 3 weeks, with full effects visible after about 3 months. It’s important to note that fat freezing isn’t a weight loss solution, but rather a way to contour specific areas of the body. We often recommend it for those pesky spots that don’t respond well to diet and exercise alone.

How is the Cryolipolysis Procedure Like? 

We at Wellaholic have performed thousands of cryolipolysis treatments. Here’s what our customers can expect during a typical session:

First, we apply a gel pad to protect the skin. Then, we use a special applicator to suction the targeted area. This creates a vacuum effect. The area gets cold quickly, and most customers feel numb within 5 to 10 minutes. The treatment lasts about an hour per area. During this time, many of our customers relax, read, or even nap. After we remove the applicator, we massage the area to help break down the frozen fat cells. Some redness or swelling is normal, but it usually fades within a few hours. We’ve found that about 80% of our customers see noticeable results after just one session. However, we often recommend 2-3 treatments for optimal fat reduction.

Is Fat Freezing Safe and Risk-free?

We at Wellaholic believe in providing our customers with accurate information about fat freezing treatments. While generally safe, it’s important to understand that no cosmetic procedure is entirely risk-free.

From our experience, most customers at Wellaholic report only minor side effects like temporary redness, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few days to weeks. However, we always inform our customers about the rare but potential risks, such as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH). PAH occurs in less than 1% of cases, where fat cells grow larger instead of smaller. We’ve seen that being transparent about these risks helps our customers make informed decisions about their treatments.

How Can I Prepare for a Fat Freezing Session?

We at Wellaholic want to ensure you get the most out of your fat freezing treatment. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

First, stay hydrated. We recommend drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. This helps your body flush out toxins and can improve results. Also, try to avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before treatment. On the day of your appointment, wear loose, comfortable clothing. This makes it easier for us to access the treatment areas. Eat a light meal about an hour before coming in – you don’t want to be too full or too hungry during the procedure. Finally, if possible, avoid taking blood thinners like aspirin for a week before treatment, as these can increase bruising. But always check with your doctor before stopping any medications. By following these simple steps, you’ll be well-prepared for your fat freezing session at Wellaholic.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the safety of fat freezing is a topic that has been thoroughly researched and discussed. The consensus is that when performed correctly, fat freezing is a safe and effective method for reducing stubborn fat deposits. However, like any procedure, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what it involves, the potential risks, and the expected outcomes. Always consult with a qualified professional before undergoing any treatment. Remember, your health and safety should always be your top priority.
