● Fat freezing
Fat Freezing — also known as Cryotherapy — is a non-surgical treatment designed to permanently reduce fat through controlled cooling technology.
At Clinic 33, we’ve been refining and co-developing this treatment technique for over a decade. Whether you’re looking to kickstart your body transformation journey or target an area of stubborn fat, Cryotherapy can deliver safe, precise, visible and measurable results.
Now, with fifth-generation technology and 13 years on from the original Cryotherapy machine we opened our doors with, it has become a worthwhile solution for non-invasive fat reduction.
40 – 60 minutes per area (variation due to cup size, density & area of localised fat)
Minimal, previous Cryo machines did cause some bruising/ discomfort. Newer technologies very different, very tolerable now.

30 – 80% fat reduction of any area treated, most suitable for individuals with a body fat composition of under 40%

Technically referred to as cryolipolysis, though commonly known as ‘fat freezing’ or ‘cryotherapy’, this aesthetic treatment is a popular non-invasive method used to reduce localised areas of body fat.
The procedure works by using a controlled cooling technique to freeze and destroy fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The process of fat freezing starts with identifying the area of the body that needs to be treated, then carefully placing a gel pad directly onto the skin. This is followed by attaching the applicator vacuum head. The applicator then delivers controlled cooling to the underlying fat cells for an average of 45 minutes.
These newer machines can go down to -15°C. The temperature is set to be cold enough to freeze the fat cells without damaging the various layers of the skin or other tissues.
As the fat cells are exposed to the cold temperature, a process called apoptosis is triggered, causing the cells to break down. These cells are then naturally eliminated from the body over the coming weeks.

● RESULTS
Now in our 13th year of performing this treatment — and using the 5th generation of the technology — our expertise in Fat Freezing is unrivalled. Having refined our methods through thousands of successful procedures, we combine technical precision with a deep understanding of how to deliver consistent, natural results.
Fat Freezing was where our journey began back in 2013. Since then, the technology and techniques have evolved significantly — and we’ve evolved with them. We were the first clinic outside Harley Street to introduce this procedure, bringing our decade of experience in health and fitness (2003–2013) to bridge the gap between body science and aesthetic contouring.
What sets us apart is our holistic, lifestyle-led approach. Alongside our advanced InBody 270 diagnostic equipment, we assess, plan and deliver treatment based on data — not guesswork. The result: consistent, measurable outcomes and genuinely long-term fat reduction.
As of Autumn/Winter 2025–26, we’ve carried out over 6,500 Fat Freezing procedures and have been featured in multiple press and magazine features for our expertise in body contouring.

When will I see the results from my Fat Freezing treatment?
Results are usually seen 3–9 weeks after your fat freezing treatment, although we have seen near-full results in four weeks for some clients. We book post-treatment measurement appointments at four and eight weeks, using our InBody 270 machine and photographs to monitor progress. At eight weeks, we can assess whether another treatment would be beneficial.
