This safe and tested technology is a popular treatment that is ideal for patients looking for gradual fat removal without surgery with minimal downtime. CoolSculpting® is also known as fat freezing or cryolipolysis.

What to Expect
Our expert CoolSculpting® specialists will first assess your suitability for treatment before working on a personalised treatment plan to help you get the best from fat freezing treatment to achieve your desired body goals.
CoolSculpting® Consultation
Your CoolSculpting treatment journey starts with a consultation with one of our CoolSculpting specialists. Our specialists will provide a comprehensive overview of the CoolSculpting technology, how cryolipolysis works and the treatment process.
Medical History
It is important to provide a full medical history ahead of your CoolSculpting treatment. This allows our CoolSculpting specialists to flag any contraindications or concerns to discuss during your consultation before treatment.
Assessment
Once you have let us know which areas of your body you would like to focus on, our specialists will need to assess the area to create a detailed treatment plan based on what size applicators are required and how many cycles are recommended. This detailed discussion and evaluation ensures that you receive a personalised approach to address your specific needs.
Your Body Shape Goals
We want to know what areas you are looking to target and what outcome you hope to achieve. You will have a discussion about what your body shape goals are which will help our CoolSculpting specialists to tailor your CoolSculpting treatment to align with your expectations.
Treatment Plan
Based on your goals and the assessment, our CoolSculpting specialists will create a customised treatment recommendation. This will detail the areas to be treated, the number of cycles and treatment sessions required. It will also give you an expected timeline to achieve optimal results.

CoolSculpting® Treatment
- Arriving at the clinic for your fat freezing treatment you will meet with your CoolSculpting® specialist who will chat through what to expect from treatment.
- The body fat area/s being treated will be marked up and you will be given some time to get yourself comfy on the treatment bed. Once settled, a gel pad is placed over the area being treated to protect the skin.
- The CoolSculpting® applicator is then applied to the areas of stubborn fat which then uses a vacuum to pull the skin into the hollow of the applicator. The temperature in the applicator will then proceed to drop which will cause the area to become numb.
- Whilst the treatment is taking place many patients choose to read a book, watch a TV series on their tablet or check their phone, our expert CoolSculpting® practitioners will check on you to ensure you are comfortable at all times and assist you with anything you need.
- Typical treatment time ranges from 35 – 75 minutes depending on the type of applicator being used. Once finished, the applicator will be removed, and the area will be massaged to help further break up the frozen fat cells and improve your final results.
After your CoolSculpting® procedure
Immediately following your CoolSculpting® procedure you will be free to leave the clinic. Your practitioner will give you aftercare advice and details on how to get in touch with the clinic should you have any questions or are seeking advice following treatment.
There is no downtime associated with CoolSculpting® and patients are able to return to work, exercise regime, and all their other usual activities immediately after treatment should they wish too.
Patients may experience bruising, minor redness or soreness in the areas treated but this will only be temporary.
Patients will be required to return for a 6-week follow-up appointment with their CoolSculpting® practitioner who will be able to assess their results and advise if further treatment may be required.
Results and patient experience may vary.
Many patients start to see results from 4-6 weeks after treatment and these results will continue to improve for up to 14-16 weeks. Your body will continue to eliminate fat cells from the body for 4-6 months following treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
CoolSculpting, also known as Fat Freezing or Crylipolypolis treatment is a non-invasive fat removal or reduction treatment. It works to freeze areas of unwanted fat to help re-contour your body.
CoolSculpting works by freezing or crystallising the fat cells in the area being treated using cooling vacuums, surface plates or cups. The fat freezing technology selectively targets and destroys fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. Once the fat cells are treated, they are destroyed and removed as your body processes the fat and removes these dead cells through a natural inflammatory clearing process. The procedure involves no surgery, no needles and there is minimal downtime following treatment.
CoolSculpting originated many years ago when scientists at Harvard University observed that children who ate ice lollies developed dimples in their cheeks. Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD began to realise that ice could selectively damage small pockets of fat cells and from that; the technique of fat freezing was developed. The idea that the cold could target fat cells without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue was the insight behind cryolipolysis, the science on which the CoolSculpting procedure is based on.
17 million CoolSculpting fat freeze treatment cycles have been performed worldwide.
To learn more about CoolSculpting, and how it could help you, book a free consultation with one of our experts.
At The Private Clinic, our fat freezing treatment is carried out with CoolSculpting which uses the cryolipolysis technique to freeze the fat.
CoolSculpting is suitable to be used on different areas of the body where stubborn fat can be found. Areas treated include the thighs, tummy, arms and under the chin.
The treatment involves placing an applicator on the skin of the area that is being treated.
The applicator applies freezing temperatures to the skin which freezes the fat cells beneath causing them to die however the surrounding skin and tissue is not affected.
The controlled cooling technology is able to precisely target fat cells to the exact point when they crystallise and die which is a process is called apoptosis.
Once the fat cells have died, they are processed naturally by the body via the lymphatic system and then exposed of naturally by the body as waste.
The fat cells that have been removed from the body do not grow back meaning patients can expect long lasting results providing they maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Treatment can take from as little as 35 minutes, and multiple machines can even be used to treat different areas at the same time.

During your free consultation our expert CoolSculpting physicians will create a customised treatment plan that’s tailored to your body and your individual goals.
Is stomach fat removal possible with Coolsculpting?
CoolSculpting treatment can be really effective to reduce belly fat. The stomach or abdomen is a common area for both males and females to store fat. Fat around the belly can be tricky to remove with diet and exercise alone. It is often caused by high stress levels, hormonal imbalance, ageing and a poor diet high in alcohol, refined carbohydrates and saturated fats.
As we become older, hormone levels will change making it much harder to reduce excess weight from the stomach. Weight loss can’t be focused to one particular area so if you have noticed weight loss in other areas but no change to the stomach or very little change then Fat Freezing may be an ideal option without causing too much downtime.
To find out more about how CoolSculpting can treat belly fat, book a free consultation with one of our fat freezing experts.
CoolSculpting can be a really effective treatment to target stubborn areas of fat on the arms.
Unwanted fat on the upper arms is often referred to as bingo wings and is very common. Upper arm fat is more of a problem with women as the fat deposits in this area are affected by hormonal changes and are often resistant to diet and exercise.
We have a rage of different sized applicators which allows us to treat excess fat on the arms in the most comfortable way.
To find out more about how CoolSculpting can treat arm fat, book a free consultation with one of our fat freezing experts.
