CoolSculpting (Fat Freeze)

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells in targeted areas of the body. The process, known as cryolipolysis, safely destroys fat cells without harming surrounding tissue, and the body gradually removes them over time. It’s commonly used to contour areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and chin, providing a slimmer appearance without the need for surgery.

How does CoolSculpting work?

Since late 2010, fat freezing has been increasingly popular in Singapore and is now one of the most sought-after and effective non-invasive modalities for targeted fat loss. Also known as cryolipolysis, this CoolSculpting uses freezing technology to break down fat cells. It has been proven effective — some see results from fat freeze treatment even after as few as one or two treatments with this relatively comfortable, FDA-approved procedure. When combined with an appropriate diet plan and a regular exercise regimen, the results are permanent and long-lasting.

Developed not only by scientists but also by doctors at Harvard Medical School, CoolSculpting is the original patented technology of fat freezing. CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells underneath the skin to the point of elimination, allowing your body to naturally remove the “frozen” and dead fat cells via lymphatic drainage. It has been clinically tested to help you reduce fat by up to 23% of the treated area, and because fat freezes faster than other cells, there’s no damage to surrounding tissue structures.

With the CoolSculpting Elite now at Freia Medical, this treatment is now designed to deliver faster, more effective, and more comfortable results. It features improved applicators that cover a larger treatment area and can target two areas at once, making sessions more efficient. With better contact and cooling precision, CoolSculpting Elite removes up to 18% more fat compared to the original, offering a smoother and more contoured result.

Why conditions can CoolSculpting treat?

It is used to treat areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping contour and shape the body rather than serve as a weight-loss method. It effectively targets localised fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, upper arms, back, bra line, under the buttocks (banana roll), and under the chin or jawline. It is ideal for individuals looking to reduce small to moderate pockets of fat for a more sculpted appearance.

Why choose this treatment?

Individual results may vary, but in general, CoolSculpting offers the following benefits:

• No surgery, no anaesthesia — Fat freeze treatment is a non-invasive, in-clinic procedure that can be done in an aesthetic clinic in Singapore.
• Minimal downtime and recovery — Since the procedure is non-invasive, it offers a remarkable level of patient comfort. You may experience mild tenderness, redness or numbness in the treated area after the procedure. But many patients report that they can get on easily with their day after a session. 
• Less-than-an-hour procedure — Compared to liposuction and other fat reduction procedures, a CoolSculpting treatment is much shorter. You’ll be out of the clinic in less than an hour.
• Can treat multiple areas — CoolSculpting is not only for belly fat. This technology can also treat stubborn fat in the arms, hips, thighs, flanks, chin, and more.

Who is this treatment for?

CoolSculpting is designed for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is best suited for people seeking body contouring rather than significant weight loss. Ideal candidates are generally healthy, have good skin elasticity, and prefer a non-surgical option for fat reduction.

What to expect?

The treatment session is estimated to last from 30 to 60 minutes. Once the treatment areas are marked out, the applicators of the CoolSculpting machine will be applied. You can rest comfortably while the treatment is ongoing. During the treatment itself, some patients may report some discomfort in the beginning. But as the treatment goes along, the discomfort eases. Fat-freeze technology carries less risk than other fat-reduction treatments. Some have reported itching or tingling, temporary redness, swelling, bruising and the like. However, these disappear a few hours or days after the treatment. This procedure has minimal downtime, so you can return to your daily activities after visiting our clinic.
