A non-invasive alternative to liposuction, highly innovative fat-freezing treatment CoolSculpting® kills off pockets of stubborn fat cells for a satisfyingly streamlined silhouette.
“For people who are at or near their ideal weight but want to treat a stubborn area, CoolSculpting® is the absolute gold standard.”

Including inner and outer thighs.

The inner part of the upper arm.
CoolSculpting®, a form of cryolipolysis, uses a variety of rounded cooling suction paddles to pull out loose skin then crystalise and dismantle fat cells (which are unable to withstand ultra-low temperatures), crushing everything from bra bulge and love handles to sagging under-the-chin skin. While the fat cells freeze, the skin remains free from injury.
After the procedure the fat slowly dissipates (it’s naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system) across a period of around six to 12 weeks.
Coolsculpting® offers success across a range of body parts – delivering a trimming effect on the abdomen, thighs, flanks, upper arms, back and chin. It can provide as much as 25-30% fat reduction in those localised areas.
Because CoolSculpting® is designed for subtle, strategic contouring, it’s best suited to those (aged 18+) already at an ideal weight and who are seeking to streamline their figure or battle a specific pocket of bulge that’s been resistant to dietary changes or exercise. It doesn’t suit those looking for significant weight loss.
Because it kills off fat cells, the results of CoolSculpting® can last indefinitely. However, subsequent weight gain after the procedure may override the initial treatment.
Typically, there is very little downtime with CoolSculpting®, but patients should anticipate some swelling and soreness for at least two days.
CoolSculpting® works especially well in tandem with the high frequency ultrasound ULTRAcel Q+ and our Fat-Dissolving Injectables.
If you’re interested in more extensive reshaping, look to our Non-Surgical Brazilian Bum Lift which uses specialist dermal fillers to craft rounder, fuller, more elevated buttocks.
CoolSculpting® is for people looking for definite but modest improvements, for whom small stubborn pockets of fat present a persistent problem.
CoolSculpting® doesn’t involve the use of any artificial substances, making it an ideal procedure for those who prefer a natural treatment plan.
DESIGNED FOR SUBTLE, STRATEGIC CONTOURING, CoolSculpting® is for those seeking to streamline their figure, OR WHO ARE BATTLING A BULGE THAT’S RESISTANT TO CHANGES IN DIET OR EXERCISE.

Patients may find the process uncomfortable when the suction paddles used to isolate and freeze the fatty tissues are initially deployed, and also when those isolated areas are massaged by the therapist.
The results show anywhere between six weeks and three months.
Some patients experience intense pulling, tugging, pinching or tingly cramps during treatment, prior to the numbness kicking in. Following the procedure some people may suffer from red skin, cramping or very tender skin. There is also a risk of late onset pain, burns, hyperpigmentation, and paradoxical hyperplasia (a rare complication of CoolSculpting® that has the paradoxical result: an overgrowth of fatty tissue) but all are rare.
