Fat Freezing Cardiff

How many applicators do I need?

The applicator’s size is approximately 20cm, similar to the palm of your hand. Using the palm of your hand as a template will allow you to determine how many applicators are needed. It is important to note that all of the stubborn fat within the treatment area should be targeted to avoid indentations where fat has been destroyed in some areas and not destroyed in others.

For the upper abdomen OR lower abdomen, this will usually require 1 to 2 applicators.  Use the palm of your hand as a guide and if the stubborn fat pocket is less than 20cm you will need 1 applicator, however, if it is more than 20cm you will need 2 applicators. Based on this if you have stubborn fat on the upper abdomen AND lower abdomen you will require 2 to 4 applicators.

The flanks also referred to as the love handles will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right flank is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if there is stubborn fat above this, you will then require 4 applicators. Based on this if you have stubborn fat on the upper abdomen, lower abdomen and flanks you will need between 4 to 8 applicators. Again, use the palm of your hand as a guide.

The lower back will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right lower back is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if there is stubborn fat above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

The bra back will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right bra back is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if there is stubborn fat above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

The chest which can only be treated on men will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right chest is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if stubborn fat is above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

The inner thighs will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right inner thigh is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if stubborn fat is above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

The outer thighs will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right outer thigh is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if stubborn fat is above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

Under the bum will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right under the bum area is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if stubborn fat is above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

The buttock itself will require 2 – 4 applicators. If the stubborn fat on the left and right buttocks is comfortably covered using 1 applicator on each side, this will only require 2 applicators. However, if stubborn fat is above/below this, you will require 4 applicators.

Use the palm of your hand to determine how many applicators are required and tally up the total number. This will then determine the number of applicators you need to book.
