Eliminate your unwanted fat cells with a non-surgical procedure with our highly skilled aesthetic practitioners at the Cosmex Clinic in Cambridge. CoolSculpting is a great alternative to liposuction, with a non-surgical approach with no downtime. This treatment does not require any anesthetic, time off work, or weekly massages like liposuction.
CoolSculpting | Fat Removal has no risk of infection as it is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure. Unlike other fat freezing/laser fat removal techniques, there is no need for diet and exercise as the fat cell walls are permanently destroyed.
Fat cells are something that all of us have to deal with, even with a good diet and healthy exercise regime certain fat cells just don’t seem to budge. Losing belly fat, back fat or even a double chin can at times feel out of reach.
CoolSculpting provided by the Cosmex Clinic in Cambridge allows the fat to be frozen away through Cryoliposis and is then disposed of out of our body’s natural digestive process. CoolSculpting uses this revolutionary treatment in a safe, effective and FDA approved way.

What to expect at your Coolsculpting consultation?

The aesthetic practitioner will go over the recommended treatment/ number of applicators you require to get your desired results on your chosen body area for your CoolSculpting | Fat Freezing Treatment by taking account of your preferences for treatment and taioring this to produce your free treatment plan.
The Procedure:
The CoolSculpting applicator is placed over the area of the unwanted fat area to be treated and left for 35 minutes per cycle. During this time, you can rest, read, check your emails or even nap! While you relax the fat is being frozen, causing the fat cells to die and the body’s natural processes then flush out these dead cells, removing them from the area and eventually the entire body.
Follow Up Treatment & Consultation:
At your consultation, the aesthetic practitioner will go through your body goals and transformation plan. Then at your first treatment your photograph will be taken along with an InBody assessment in order to track your fat reduction journey and ensure you get the desired results. The second photograph will be taken 4 weeks post-treatment, at this stage you are able to have a second session if you desire. Your final appointment consists after 12 weeks where your photos and weight will be taken for the last time to give you a spectacular before and after.

Frequently Asked Question
Am I a good patient for the CoolSculpting treatment?
The CoolSculpting® fat-reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have unwanted fat in targeted areas. Unlike weight-loss surgery (e.g. gastric bypass), the CoolSculpting® procedure is not a weight-loss solution for people who are obese. Good candidates for the CoolSculpting® procedure have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Many people want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
Who should not have the CoolSculpting treatment?

Can the CoolSculpting treatment reduce fat anywhere on my body?
The CoolSculpting® procedure can treat visible fat bulges in the submental area (under the chin), thigh, abdomen, and flank (love handle), along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll), and upper arm. Your CoolSculpting expert a Cosmex Clinic will create a customised treatment plan that’s tailored to your body and your individual goals.
I don’t like my double chin. Can the CoolSculpting treatment help me lose it?
Yes, the CoolSculpting® procedure can treat visible fat bulges under the chin. Freezing away fat from a double chin is as tolerable as using the CoolSculpting® procedure in other parts of the body (e.g., abdomen, flank/side, thighs). With CoolSculpting® treatment for a double chin, patients may see results after just 2 visits.
Where does the fat go? Are the results permanent?
Once the treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), they are destroyed and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good
Is the CoolSculpting treatment safe?
As a leading non-invasive fat-reduction treatment worldwide, CoolSculpting® has a well-established safety and efficacy profile. CoolSculpting® systems are controlled cooling devices designed with built-in safety measures. If sensors detect that the skin is getting too cold, the system will shut down automatically.
What does the treatment feel like?
As the cooling begins during the first few minutes you typically feel intense cold. This should soon dissipate. With some applicators, you’ll feel some pulling as suction is applied.
After the treatment, you may feel some tingling as the area is massaged for approximately 2 minutes. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities following their appointment.
How long is each treatment? How many treatments will I need?
Your CoolSculpting® expert at Cosmex Clinic will help you create an individualised treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting®treatment will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. The latest technology of CoolSculpting® can treat a patient within 60 minutes.
Are there any side effects?
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations may subside as the area becomes numb.
Following the procedure, typical side effects include redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, skin sensitivity and numbness. Numbness can persist for up to several weeks. There may be a sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental treatment. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within days or weeks.
Though rare, some additional side effects such as paradoxical hyperplasia, late onset pain, freeze burn, vasovagal symptoms, subcutaneous induration, hyperpigmentation and hernia may also occur.
The CoolSculpting® procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting® procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinaemia, cold agglutinin disease or paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting® procedure is not a treatment for obesity.
Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?
The CoolSculpting® procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities almost immediately. Often, patients return to work directly after their CoolSculpting® treatment. This will vary between people and may be dependent on treatment area.
When will I see results?
Most patients see results between 2 and 6 months following treatment. You will still continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment.
