What Is Fat Freezing?

Fat Freezing, otherwise known as cryolipolysis is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that effectively removes fat using the localised application of controlled cooling. This cooling freezes and breaks apart stubborn fat cells.


At Contouring Bodies Sydney Body Contouring Clinic we use the AW3 Antarctica machine, AW3 is an internationally renowned manufacturer with offices in Europe, Asia and North America that create only the highest quality, medical grade body sculpting machinery. The device has 2 applicators capable of targeting stubborn fat areas such as love handles, muffin tops, thighs, bellies and even stubborn back fat.

How Does Fat Freezing Work?

This popular body sculpting treatment uses controlled cooling to sub zero temperatures to cause fat cell death. Suction handles are used to create a targeted treatment area making it perfect for stubborn pockets of fat. It’s safe, gentle and clinically proven to help shift stubborn fat deposits that just wont budge regardless of healthy lifestyle and diet.

After the subcutaneous fat tissue is destroyed in the freezing process, the body safely removes the dead fat cells using its natural elimination processes through the lymphatic and urinary systems.


Fat Freezing is one of the most advanced body slimming treatment solutions available on the market, integrating a number of cutting edge technologies which is why it is such a hit at our Sutherland Shire Body Contouring Clinic. This treatment excels at targeting and disintegrating fat cells without affecting the skin or any other part of the body. This makes it an effective, safe and non-invasive alternative to liposuction.



At What Temperature Does Fat Freeze?

During your fat freezing treatment, In order to avoid cold damage to the skin, a gel membrane sheet is applied to your skin and precise temperature level is determined, and is generally set at up to −8 °C. The fatty tissue under the skin is cooled to a point less than body temperature but just above actual freezing. This triggers localised fat cell death (apoptosis) in your fat cells.


During a Fat Freezing body sculpting treatment at Contouring Bodies, the temperature of your skin which comes into contact with the Fat Freezing applicator is constantly monitored by our qualified body contouring technician to ensure complete safety and comfortability.


The temperature of the applicator responds to this feedback so your cells will never completely freeze but will be chilled to a low enough temperature that fat cell death is triggered.


Does Fat Freezing Hurt?

The short answer to this question is no. For the vast majority of people, fat freezing treatments cause very little to no discomfort. If there was a slight discomfort experience it is generally just a cold sensation or a numb feeling which passes quickly. You don’t experience a cold feeling throughout your entire body, just in the area of treatment. At Contouring Bodies Sydney Body Contouring Clinic we can control the suction levels in each individual applicator to ensure you have the maximum comfort throughout the treatment.


The applicator uses suction to hold the skin in place in the treated area while freezing fat cells. This suction can cause some minor and temporary bruising for few. This passes quickly if it does occur and is generally very mild.


At our Sutherland Shire Body Contouring Clinic, our Fat Freezing treatments are relaxed, comfortable and being only 30 minutes are over before you know it. At Contouring Bodies we’re committed to providing the best treatment experience available for all our clients. This doesn’t just involve the quality of your treatments or results but the care we take to ensure your comfort is our top priority at all times.


Fat Freezing Side Effects:

Fat Freezing takes only 30 minutes and there is zero recovery time because the skin and tissue is not damaged during the treatment. Some people do experience a mild soreness around the treated area but this is similar to the discomfort you might experience after a gym workout and passes quickly. Some may experience mild redness or bruising post treatment, but this is very mild and too subsides fairly quickly.

 

The treated fat area will decrease by an average of 20 percent following your Contouring Bodies Fat Freezing treatment. To gain the full effect of the treatment, the body takes around four months to completely process and eliminate the fat cells.


What Is Fat Freezing Like?

Your Fat Freezing treatment will consist of your Contouring Bodies clinician putting on what we call an anti-freezing membrane, this is just like a cold sheet of fabric (similar to sheet face mask material) soaked in ultrasound gel, this helps to avoid skin frostbite and dispense low temperatures to the skin more evenly.


The Fat Freezing handle applicator is then secured on to the treatment area and then we apply a suction, this might feel a little tight at first, but as the body contracts with your breathing movements, any tightness will fade. We can adjust the suction levels to your comfortability and can tighten and release at any time.


After 30 minutes we then release the suction and remove the applicator, we then conduct a small massage, this can boost the circulation. A massage always stimulates the skin and the muscles, so this can effectively speed up your treatment results.

"I was feeling really down on myself and my tummy felt like I was 6 months pregnant (when I wasn’t). I decided to have a fat freeze with Mary, at contouring bodies. After the session I  felt lighter and my waist showed instant results. This has given back my confidence, made me feel more motivated and gave me a push in the right direction. I have more energy and feel happier within myself.
I love the results and can’t wait until my next treatment.

Thanks Mary"

Having healthy habits like going to the gym, playing sports and exercising can give you the control on where you build muscle, but unfortunately, you can’t control where you lose fat. That’s where Fat Freezing at our Sutherland Shire Body Contouring clinic comes in! Fat Freezing helps you get rid of stubborn pockets and bulges that don’t respond to diet and exercise. So, how do you know if you’re a good candidate for Fat Freezing? Signs That Fat Freezing May Work For You Fat Freezing uses an applicator cup that gently suctions onto the treatment area. The applicator cup uses sub-zero cooling technology to freeze fat cells in the area, essentially destroying them. Your body then removes those cells naturally, through the lymphatic & urinary system, giving you a slimmer, more contoured appearance. Fat Freezing Applicator Cup For Fat Freezing to be effective, you would ideally have a localised pocket or 'pad' of fat, such as a lower tummy bulge, love handles or a fat pad on the inner thighs etc. To see if you’re a good candidate, you can try a pinch test. If you have a few centimetres of fat you can pinch, and you can feel that it’s fat (not just loose skin), then there’s a good chance that fat freezing at Contouring Bodies can work for you. If you're still unsure, you are more than welcome to book in for a FREE consultation with our highly trained body contouring staff at our Caringbah Body Sculpting Clinic, this is also the most accurate way to find out if the Fat Freeze treatment is what's going to work best for you, your body, your lifestyle and your goals. Although clinical studies have shown that Fat Freezing can reduce up to 25% of fat in the treated area, it can only reduce fat in the area treated. For larger areas, you can go for the 2 applicator option, but it depends on the shape and distribution of the spot you’d like to treat. Again, this is all stuff that you can leave to us, as the body contouring specialists to figure out! In some cases, after listening to your goals and customising the best treatment for you, we might recommend another treatment option for you. This is where Contouring Bodies free consultations come in handy so you can find out if Fat Freezing is for you are right for you before making a commitment. Fat Freezing Post Pregnancy Are you a mum going through post-partum? Most women have a little fat pocket on the lower abdomen post-pregnancy, and it often doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Fat Freezing has become a really popular post-pregnancy treatment to help with these little pockets. You can also follow it up with RF Skin Tightening for abdominal skin that may have stretched during pregnancy and also our EMS treatment to assist in repairing abdominal separation or loss of strength in the abdomen area. Visceral Fat vs. subcutaneous fat Your abdomen has two layers of fat. Subcutaneous fat sits underneath the skin, but above the muscle. Visceral fat sits below the muscles. Fat Freezing, and other non-invasive fat reduction methods offered at our Sutherland Shire Body Contouring Clinic, treat subcutaneous fat (below the skin). Visceral fat can only be managed with lifestyle adjustments. If you need help with visceral fat, we recommend speaking to your doctor or a weight-loss professional. Cellulite Cellulite is a textural concern. Some clinics claim that you can reduce cellulite by freezing away the fat, but we have achieved better results with ultrasound-based treatments like Cavitation and RF Skin Tightening. Ultrasound technologies can be used to eradicate fat cells while also tightening loose, dimply skin, such as cellulite. Loose Skin Instead Of Fat Sometimes we get a little bit of loose skin that we mistake for fat. It’s especially common on the arms and under the chin. For these areas, an Ultrasound treatment such as Fat Cavitation, Laser Lipo or RF Skin Tightening might be a more suitable option. This technology uses ultrasound, cold level lasers and radio frequenct to target and destroy fat cells, while also stimulating collagen in the deeper layers of your skin to help tighten it up. The Right Fit We’re all beautifully unique, and we all have our own ideals. The best way to find the most effective treatment for you is to discuss those goals and get an assessment with a Contouring Bodies Sydney Body Sculpting Clinic professional who has experience with the different fat reduction treatments.

1. You Never Let Yourself Indulge Weird one, we know! Restricting yourself of any indulgences can actually cause your whole diet to backfire. A study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, found that calorie restricting diets can actually lead to long term weight gain due to an increase in the stress hormone cortisol. This fat storing hormone spikes due to the psychological stress from constantly saying “no” to the dessert you want so badly. If you've ever been to our Sutherland Shire Body Contouring Clinic, then you've probably heard Mary say this! Keep indulgences in healthy moderation and they’re not an issue! 2. Hormonal Imbalances There are a number of hormonal imbalances that can occur in the body that factor into why your fat might not be budging. Things such as an under active thyroid (when your thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones which regulate metabolism), Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ‘PCOS’ (a hormone related problem causing small cysts on the ovaries) and menopause (which results in hormonal changes that can make you more likely to gain weight around the abdomen). Even things such as stress, Estrogen dominance and Insulin resistance can factor into stubborn fat. Keep a look out for mood swings, heavy or painful periods, low libido or insomnia as they may be signs of a hormonal imbalance. 3. You Don’t Practice Mindful Eating Eating mindfully can do wonders to get rid of stubborn belly fat, but for some, no matter how clean they eat, the tum is there to stay! That's where our Body Contouring treatments come in! Mindful eating is when you focus on every aspect of eating and putting a focus on the sensations brought by every bite of your food. Although with living our busy lives this can be very difficult, we have the tendency to eat while we’re distracted by our phones or other devices which cause us to overeat. According to Harvard Medical School practicing mindful eating can actually help slim your figure. 4. Your Not Eating Enough Some dieters get so caught up in being thin that they heavily restrict the number of calories they eat, or even turn to going the whole day without eating. Going on these dangerously restrictive diets can actually slow down your metabolism and cause pounds to burn off slower, so remember to stay on the healthy track of a balanced diet and exercise. 5. Your Getting Older When your metabolism slows, you don’t need as many calories to keep your body humming along, adding to the metabolic slow down is a shift in your body composition. As you age, your muscle mass decreases and your fat mass increases. If you're wanting to improve your muscle mass, try our EMS muscle building treatment! If you have concerns with excess unwanted fat or you're simply just looking for advice, book in for one of our FREE body contouring consultations and speak to our body transformation expert today!

What is cellulite? Cellulite is a fat deposit beneath the skin that creates lumpy, dimpled flesh commonly on the thighs, hips, buttocks and stomach. It's something almost everyone struggles with but they've had difficulty in trying to get rid of. At our Sutherland Shire Body Contouring Clinic, Cellulite improvement treatments are something we are very experienced in. It involves fibrous connective cords that tether the skin to the underlying muscle, with the fat lying between. As fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the long, tough cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling. Cellulite can be developed due to hormones, age, genetic, diet and lifestyle factors. Cellulite will never 100% go away, but at Contouring Bodies Sutherland Shire Body Contouring Clinic, we can take measures to greatly improve it, at Contouring Bodies we offer a variety of different treatments to treat cellulite. Unsure if this is right for you? Click the button to book in a FREE body contouring consultation with our expert Mary today!
