FAQs.

What Is Fat Freezing?

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical and non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses a cold temperature in certain body areas to remove fat cells. This is especially beneficial for stubborn areas of fat, like bra bulges, love handles, etc., that are not affected by diet or exercise.

Is Cryotherapy Safe?

The procedure’s safety depends on the clinic and the device they are using. At Body Sculpt GC, we use an advanced CRYO 21 device that is safer and more effective than other devices. The device is TGA approved and has no side effects. There is no downtime or pain, and the patient can return to their usual activities immediately. Patients might experience slight redness in the treated area, which is reduced within the next few hours

How Is CRYO 21 Different From Other CRYO Devices?

CRYO 21 differs from other CRYO methods and devices because the probe is manually moved to the targeted area. In other models, the handle is directly attached to the body with a vacuum which creates a strong suction and can lead to bruising and burn marks. Such devices also have limited use regardings areas they can treat and often provide uneven results.

What Are The Main Risks Of Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive fat reduction therapy with minimal side effects. After all procedures, patients can experience slight redness, but that goes away in 1-2 hours.  Aside from this, rare side effects include allergic reactions to cold temperatures and rashes. But rest assured, the CRYO 21 device used at Body Sculpt GC is perfectly safe and has no side effects.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

With cryotherapy, patients start noticing the results after the first treatment, but for maximum results, we recommend a series of 6-10 treatments to achieve your desired outcome. Unlike other devices, the medical-grade devices used at Body Sculpt GC can treat multiple areas simultaneously.  For fat-freezing treatments on the tummy or love handles, we see, on average, a reduction of between 2cm – 4cm achieved per treatment.

How Long Does Each Treatment Take?

The CRYO therapy treatment takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.  The therapist treats the same place once every 14 days, as it takes approximately 14 days for all the dead fat cells to clear the body.

Is Cryotherapy Also Used For Pain Management?

Yes, cryotherapy has been scientifically proven beneficial for pain relief and management.
The idea was initiated from the habit of doing cold compresses on wounds and inflamed muscles, especially in athletes. Cryotherapy fast-tracks the process and reduces the temperature in the targeted area from 34 °C to only 8 °C without the patient feeling any kind of cold.
An initial consultation takes place for pain management, and a personalised treatment plan is developed. The treatment takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Cryotherapy?

The ideal candidate is already close to their body weight and wants to remove stubborn pinchable areas of fat layers that are not removed by diet or exercise. However, cryotherapy is not a solution for obesity, and the results will not be as prominent if the individual has firm and thick tissue.

Who Is A Bad Candidate For Cryotherapy?

● For anyone with heart disease
● For Pregnant/breastfeeding women
● For anyone with Raynaud’s Syndrome
● For any area being treated that has varicose veins
● For organ transplant recipients
● For anyone with cancer or leukemia

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of the result depends on the treatment you are getting.

● For skin tightening, the results last up to 24 months; this varies from client to client.
● For fat reduction, the results are permanent. Our medical-grade devices remove entire fat cells through apoptosis by freezing the cells to death.
Clients are advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet to maintain results.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

● Fat Removal – It takes about 14 days before all the dead fat cells are eliminated from the body, so we recommend 2 weeks between treatments on the same area.
● Skin Tightening – This can be done as often as you like.
● Chronic Pain (more than 3 months) – Depending on the injury, it is recommended to have 2-3 treatments per week for 5 weeks; then, further reassessment will be required.
● Acute Pain (less than 3 months) – Depending on the injury, initially, 1-2 treatments per week.
