Who Fat Freezing Suits Best
Cryolipolysis is designed for people already near the weight they want to be, yet still carrying distinct fat deposits that ignore both diet and exercise. It's a contouring treatment rather than a weight-loss plan: the abdomen, the flanks (love handles), the inner and outer thighs and the submental region beneath the chin all respond well. If that sounds familiar, a consultation at our Glasgow clinic will establish whether you're a good candidate.
At the appointment itself, a specialist applicator draws the tissue of your chosen area into a cooling cup and holds the fat layer underneath at carefully calibrated temperatures. Fat cells tolerate cold far less well than skin, nerve or muscle tissue does, so they crystallise and begin breaking down while everything around them is left unharmed.
Results That Build Week by Week
Nothing is cut and nothing needs numbing, so you can drive yourself home and carry on as normal the moment your session finishes. Across the following four to twelve weeks, your lymphatic system steadily removes the disabled fat cells, and the treated area grows slimmer and more sculpted as it does.
Most people spot the first change after three to four weeks, with the complete result usually in place by about month three. Cryolipolysis targets fat cells selectively and destroys them outright, so they cannot return — you get a visibly improved contour without the risks and recovery that come with surgical liposuction, and keeping your weight steady preserves the new shape for the long term.
