How Fat Freezing Works
During a cryolipolysis session at VIVO Clinic, a specialist applicator is positioned over the target area and draws the overlying tissue gently into a cooling cup. Precisely calibrated temperatures are then applied to the fat layer beneath the skin. Because fat cells are significantly more vulnerable to cold than the surrounding tissues, they crystallise and begin to break down while skin, nerves, and muscle remain entirely unaffected.
Over the four to twelve weeks following treatment, your immune system naturally clears the damaged fat cells through the lymphatic system, producing a progressively slimmer, more defined contour. A single session can reduce approximately 22% to 45% of fat cells in the treated area. The most popular areas we treat include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, bra back, chest (men), and the area under the chin. Because no incisions are made and no anaesthesia is needed, clients can leave immediately and carry on with their day.
Why Choose Fat Freezing?
Unlike general weight-loss strategies, fat freezing precisely targets localised fat deposits that refuse to shift regardless of how carefully you eat or exercise. The treatment selectively eliminates fat cells without touching the surrounding tissue, so you can achieve a noticeably better body shape with none of the risks or downtime of surgical liposuction.
Results develop gradually, which means changes look natural rather than sudden. Most clients start to notice a difference within three to four weeks, with the full outcome typically visible at around the three-month mark. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not return - provided you maintain a stable weight, your results are long-lasting.
How Many Applicators Do I Need?
Each applicator covers approximately 20 cm - roughly the size of your palm. Use the palm of your hand to estimate how many are required for your target area:
- Upper or lower abdomen: 1–2 applicators
- Flanks / love handles: 2–4 applicators
- Lower back: 2–4 applicators
- Bra back: 2–4 applicators
- Chest (men only): 2–4 applicators
- Inner / outer thighs: 2–4 applicators per side
- Under bum / buttocks: 2–4 applicators
