What’s the best professional fat freezing machine?

There are an abundance of fat freezing machines (also called cryolipolysis machines) on the market, ranging from the ineffective, to the well marketed, to the most advanced technology with medical CE marking, then everything else in between. Not surprisingly it is very confusing for patients and practitioners alike on what device is best for them. With an abundance poor quality and ineffective devices, and even laughable “fat freezing belts”. It’s important when choosing a machine or treatment that you see past the hype, clever marketing, and do some research into the company and the manufacturer you’re purchasing from.

A cryolipolysis machine offers non-surgical fat reduction treatments, a non-invasive alternative to liposuction – perfect for those who are needle phobic and want to avoid the risks associated with this type of surgery. The devices are designed to help patients tackle areas of unwanted excess fat that perhaps diet and exercise just hasn’t managed to shift, or to help boost the fat loss process alongside diet and exercise. Results will depend on the device you use, the patients post treatment diet / exercise and post treatment massage. Fat freezing is not a permanent solution to weight-loss and patients should be made aware that without the combination of a healthy diet and active lifestyle, the results won’t be lasting. Whilst fat freezing can help with weight-loss goals, it should not be considered a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

Does cryolipolysis really work?

Research generally points towards CoolSculpting being a relatively safe and effective treatment for removing some areas of fat. A 2020 study found that cryolipolysis that uses new and better-fitting applicators are safe and effective in quickly reducing excess fat in various body areas.

How many sessions do you need for fat freezing?

One session is normally enough for smaller areas, but if you want to treat a larger area or have a little more fat to address, two or three treatments may be necessary. In general, most people achieve their desired results after two sessions.
