Fat Freezing Body Guide: Belly, Thighs, Arms & Love Handles (2026 Edition)

Where is Fat Freezing Most Effective?

Fat freezing is most effective on localized, pinchable areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under-chin. At Wellaholic Singapore, treatments typically reduce treated fat by 20–25% per area. Clients often see visible results in 4–12 weeks, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. It’s ideal for body contouring.

Fat Freezing Body Guide: Belly, Thighs, Arms & Love Handles (2026 Edition)

Spot reduction is widely considered a fitness myth. No amount of crunches will specifically burn fat off your lower abs, and endless squats won’t necessarily erase saddlebags if your genetics dictate otherwise.

However, cryolipolysis (fat freezing) has scientifically validated the concept of non-surgical spot reduction. By utilizing controlled cooling to crystallize and destroy fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue, we can now sculpt specific areas that diet and exercise fail to reach.

This guide maps out exactly what to expect when treating the most common problem areas at Wellaholic.

1. The Treatable Areas Map

Not all body fat is created equal. Different areas require different applicator shapes and respond differently to cold therapy. Here is the breakdown of treatable zones using WellaFreeze™ 360 technology.

Target Area	Applicator Type	Exp. Fat Loss per Session	Difficulty Level
Belly (Lower/Upper)	Large Curved Cup	Up to 25%	Moderate
Love Handles (Flanks)	Medium Curved Cup	20-25%	Easy (High Success)
Inner Thighs	Flat/Surface Applicator	20-25%	Moderate
Outer Thighs (Saddlebags)	Curved Cup	20-25%	Hard (Dense Fat)
Arms	Small Curved Cup	Variable	Moderate

“Freezing fat away can be a great way to get quick, long-lasting results in hard-to-treat body areas.”

2. The Core: Belly & Love Handles

The midsection is the most requested area for treatment, but it is critical to understand the anatomy of abdominal fat before booking a session.

Visceral vs. Subcutaneous Fat There are two types of fat in the abdomen. Visceral fat is stored deep inside the body, wrapping around your organs; it feels hard and firm to the touch. Subcutaneous fat sits directly under the skin; it feels soft, squishy, and “pinchable.”

WellaFreeze™ technology is designed exclusively for subcutaneous (pinchable) fat. The vacuum applicators draw this soft tissue into the cup to freeze it. If your belly is hard and distended, that is visceral fat, which requires diet and lifestyle changes rather than cryolipolysis.

Love Handles: The “First to Gain, Last to Lose” Love handles (flanks) are notoriously stubborn because they contain a higher concentration of fat cells resistant to exercise. However, because this fat is usually soft and easily suctioned into the applicator, it responds exceptionally well to freezing.

“The flank area is often the most satisfying to treat. Because the fat here is usually softer and less fibrous than the outer thighs, the applicator achieves a perfect seal, leading to very consistent crystallization of the fat cells.” — Wellaholic’s Expert Team, Led by Mary Quito

3. The Limbs: Thighs & Arms

Slimming the limbs requires a tailored approach depending on the specific contouring goal.

Thigh Slimming: Gap vs. Saddlebags

• Inner Thighs: This area often requires a flat applicator if there isn’t enough bulge to suction into a cup. The goal here is often to create a “thigh gap” or reduce friction.
• Outer Thighs (Saddlebags): This fat tends to be denser. We use curved cups to contour the silhouette, smoothing out the bulge that ruins the line of jeans or skirts.

The Reality of Results While the abdomen might show changes faster, limbs often take 4 to 12 weeks to show visible contouring as the body metabolizes the crystallized cells.

“Inner thighs generally bruise less but are more sensitive during the initial massage post-treatment. We advise customers to wear loose clothing immediately after their session to avoid friction on the treated area.” — Wellaholic’s Senior Therapists, led by Wendy Chng

4. Post-Pregnancy (The “Mummy Tummy”)

For new mothers, the “mummy tummy” is a combination of stretched skin, stubborn fat, and muscle separation. Fat freezing is a powerful tool for the fat component, but safety is paramount.

Safety Timeline You must wait at least 3 to 6 months postpartum before undergoing WellaFreeze™.

• Natural Recovery: Your uterus needs time to shrink back to its normal size.
• C-Section Scars: If you had a Cesarean section, the scar must be fully healed. The suction from the applicator can be painful or damaging to a fresh scar.

Diastasis Recti (Muscle Separation) Many mothers have a “pooch” caused by separated abdominal muscles (Diastasis Recti), not just fat. WellaFreeze™ removes the fat, but it does not tighten the muscle. For muscle separation, we recommend pairing fat freezing with WellaMuscle™ (HIFEM), which strengthens the core without surgery.

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.
