Cryolipolysis is highly effective at removing excess fat cells from the body without requiring surgical intervention.

Research shows that the rate of success with fat freezing treatments is high.

Since the fat removal is permanent, the results are potentially long-lasting with a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

The proposed result following fat freezing is a healthy and slim appearance in the treated areas.

After a single in-clinic fat freezing session, an average of 22% – 45% of body fat is eliminated.

Nevertheless, it is important to note that the treatment affects every individual differently.

Thus, the percentage of fat removed may vary from the average value.

No, cryolipolysis cannot be used to shed excess weight.

The treatment objectively freezes out the stubborn fat patches of the body that exercise and diet alone are unable to remove.

Though the fat eradicated through the procedure is substantial, virtually no weight is lost.

As the fat removed via cryolipolysis is permanent, your body will not restore the fat cells that have been removed.

However, the remaining fat cells in the treated areas may grow large to compensate for the lost cells if there is excessive caloric intake.

The side effects related to fat freezing are extremely mild in nature and perfectly temporary.

These include some swelling and redness on the treated areas of the body following an in-clinic session.

Both side effects subside within a few days.

During the fat freezing treatment, many of our clients have also reported to feeling slight numbness due to the cold temperature in the areas being treated.

At VIVO Clinic Newcastle, you can use our cryolipolysis treatment to treat these areas:

• Chin
• Arms
• Chest
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Upper and lower back

As cryolipolysis is not a surgical procedure, there is no downtime involved.

No post-treatment recovery is one of the major benefits of this treatment when compared to traditional liposuction surgery.

You can count on being able to resume your daily and planned activities immediately after you have gone undergone cryolipolysis.

On average, most of our clients benefit from 1 to 2 in-clinic fat freezing sessions.

However, the number of treatment sessions required for the best results is different for each person.

To get an accurate estimation of how many sessions will be most appropriate for your needs, it is best to book a consultation with our clinical practitioner in Newcastle.

It is also important to note that though we are unable to quote any guaranteed results, research indicates that a person can lose up to 22% fat cells on average from a single session.

Fat Freezing is not a suitable procedure for the treatment of obesity.

It can only be used to reduce stubborn fat patches that are not responsive to exercise or diet.

Fat Freezing is a great treatment for reducing fat cells. Unfortunately, it cannot help reduce cellulite.

VIVO Clinic’s Cellulite Reduction Treatment is a great option if you are looking for a non-surgical solution to your cellulite issues.

The non-surgical cellulite treatment also results in no downtime.

Cryolipolysis cannot be used to effectively treat loose skin.

You can avail of Radio Frequency Tummy Tightening at our Newcastle clinic if you want loose or stretched tummy skin tightened without undergoing surgery.

Before the procedure can take place, one of our clinical consultants will discuss the treatment with you and take notes on why you want to undergo cryolipolysis.

At the beginning of the procedure, the clinician will measure and mark the shape and size of the area to be treated.

Then the clinician will place a gel pad on the area that is about to go through the treatment.

The gel pad helps protect the skin from direct contact with the applicator’s extreme cold temperature.

The cryolipolysis applicator will be placed directly on the fatty patch to be treated. The area will be suctioned into the cavity of the applicator.

Once the fatty section is inside the applicator, the temperature will gradually be reduced to -7°C.

It is natural for the body to react briefly to the vacuum suction and intense cooling briefly before these sensations are replaced with tingling numbness.

There may even be some aches and cramping sensations, but the discomfort abates within 5 to 10 minutes of the procedure starting.

A single cryolipolysis session requires up to one hour to reach completion. During the procedure, patients are free to use the iPads available at the clinic to watch a movie or surf the web.

Fat freezing was approved by the FDA in 2010 as a fat reduction treatment for the abdomen. Treatment to be used in other areas of the body was approved only a few years down the decade.

However, the way the body’s fat cells react to contact with intense cold was discovered earlier.

The discovery had been made by Harvard scientists who noted that when children ate large quantities of popsicles, big dimples would form on their cheeks.

Dr R. Rox Anderson and Dr Dieter Manstein, the innovators of cryolipolysis, based the deliberate process of freezing fat on the ‘cold-induced fat necrosis’ seen occurring in children enjoying cold treats.

They would collect samples from paediatric patients for inspection of the phenomenon.

They would find that the fat inflammation that occurred after prolonged contact with the popsicles did not affect the outer skin and other tissues.
