Treatment in the Spotlight: Cryolipolysis

Charlie Milz Hair & Beauty • 31 July 2022

Cryolipolysis, fat freezing, non-surgical weight loss solutions. Whatever you call it, it’s a fantastic way to shift stubborn fat without having to go under the knife or time spent doing gruelling workouts in the gym.


Whilst results are best paired with a varied diet and regular exercise, Cryolipolysis offers a safe alternative if you’re struggling to see a reduction of body fat.


You’ve probably heard of non-surgical fat loss procedures before, but do you truly know how they work and how they could be the best decision you ever made for regaining your body confidence? Let’s explore…

What is Fat Freezing?

A medical treatment that destroys the fat cells that build up in stubborn areas of the body using freezing methods, offering a safe and permanent way to lose fat and increase body confidence. That’s fat freezing in a nutshell,  and it’s something that we offer at Charlie Milz Stowmarket – the only place to get this innovative treatment in the Ipswich area.


If you want to find out more about this type of fat loss treatment, we’ve done a separate in-depth article on Cryolipolysis  – or book a consultation  to speak to our professional and competent staff.

How Does Fat Freezing Work?

If you’re only now hearing about this advanced treatment, then we admit it does sound like the impossible, but fat freezing works and is a totally safe and effective alternative to surgical solutions.


But how does a non-invasive treatment reduce body fat for permanent weight loss? By doing exactly what it says in its name: it freezes fat.


It does this by delivering super cold temperatures through special applicators to blast fat cell build up under the skin. These applicators ensure strong suction to the skin to help the machine keep contact with the treatment area; an anti-freeze membrane is also applied to prevent skin from being damaged and allow the machine to focus on the task at hand – crystallising the fat cells.

How Long Does Cryolipolysis Last?

Fat freezing is a permanent solution for getting rid of fat cells in the body. You will need to have a course of treatments  to ensure the fat cells are effectively targeted, but once those fat cells are gone, they’re gone baby!


An individual session of Cryolipolysis last 45 minutes so you can easily pop in on your lunch break.


Results are visible after after a couple of weeks and continue to take effect for up to 12 weeks after treatment so the results you leave the salon with won’t be the final look and feel.

What Aftercare is Needed for a Fat Freezing Treatment?

Not in the sense that you need recovery time after Liposuction – you’re actually free to carry on as normal straight after treatment; that’s why a lot of people refer to it as ‘lunchtime lipo’ because you can complete a session in less than an hour.

You may, however, notice the following in the treatment area following a session:


·      Slight numbness or tingling in skin

·      Minor bruising, redness or swelling from the applicators

·      Sore skin


These are totally normal, and a sign that the treatment worked, and the area is healing. These are not permanent side effects and will improve with time.

Can I Go Anywhere for This Type of Treatment?

There aren’t many places that offer this type of treatment, and that’s because the equipment is expensive and an investment for any salon to ensure they’ve got the best kit for the job. Plus, it takes time to train staff on how to conduct these treatments safely and to a high standard.


We lead with a service-first ethos, so if it’s the best for you, we will invest in it. So we purchased the industry-leading equipment with expertly engineered heating applicators and integrated cooling plates.


Having the right equipment for the job is very important and shouldn’t be overlooked when you’re doing your research for fat freezing treatments.


We use the Cryo Quattro Pro Sculpt, and it’s the most advanced fat freezing machine on the market. It’s the only machine to have four 360-degree applicators allowing four areas to be treated at once. There’s also a targeted chin applicator to treat a double chin – exclusively at our Stowmarket clinic.


As well as boasting a shed load of features of benefits (way more than its cheaper counterparts), one of the best things you can expect from it is that this machine can shift 40% of fat cells in the treated area, while others can only claim 20%. Making this treatment – and specifically our machine – one of the most effect solutions for getting rid of fat, and in turn, helping you reclaim your body confidence.
