Results are usually seen 3-9 weeks after your fat freezing treatment, although we have seen near full results in 4 weeks before (mostly with the under-30s).

We book all clients in for post measurement appointments at the 4 and 8 week mark to run a bio impedance check on our state of the art InBody 270 machine. (Body fat, BMR, Protein, Salt and Water content & Segmental fat analysis).

We also take pictures to ensure we have a full suite of data to help us monitor your results.

The 8 week mark is when we can determine if another treatment is needed or would be beneficial.

Cryotherapy (Fat Freezing) is a permanent procedure, it is one of the few Aesthetic treatments that can boast this, The cells cannot re-inflate once the treatment has been performed.

• Clinic 33’s co-founder focuses entirely and exclusively on this treatment alone and has done since 2013
• We were the first to do this procedure in the south-east. We opened the clinic for this treatment and came from an industry that is focused entirely on weight loss, fat reduction, health, fitness and tracked results. It’s not for us to tell you that we are best, all we can do is give you the following information and let you decide for yourself…
• We have had each evolution of Cryolipolysis since the beginning, which now totals 4 different machines each with incremental progressions.
• As of August 2020 we have been using the latest and most advanced version to date, the ISO Cryo 360+. There are 2 of these in the south-east, we have one at each clinic location.
• The 360 degree applicator treatment heads are 30% more effective than the previous generations of Cool sculpting, Lipo contrast & 3D Lipo’s version.
• We have performed in excess of 4000 Fat Freezing procedures since 2013.

At Clinic 33, each of our consultants has a specialist field meaning that the consultant you see for this treatment has a wealth of experience in the fat reduction and weight loss sector and will only do this treatment.

This is one of the aspects that sets us apart to almost all other clinics that do this procedure. Kevin has been performing the treatment since 2013 and just focuses on this one particular procedure. He has over 15 years experience as a ‘Weight loss specialist’ and over 9 experience as a ‘Clinical weight loss consultant’.

You’d be hard pressed to find someone with more knowledge and expertise in this field, the extremely high level of referrals on this speak for themselves.

We currently have 2 clinic locations, Hove (Brighton and Hove) & Meads (Eastbourne). Clinic 33 was founded on this procedure in particular so each location has a treatment room dedicated entirely to it. We do not do ‘mobile’ appointments for any of our services.

As of March 2022 we have been doing this treatment (in its various technological evolutions) for just over 9 years. In this time we are pleased to say that we have not experienced any adverse reactions or side effects from the treatment. We are currently around the 4000 treatment mark, give or take a couple.

There have been 4 evolutions of the technology since 2013 with each bringing an increase in comfort, improved results and more variations in the treatment cup size. 2020 saw the arrival of Cryo 360 in which the entire treatment cup is a frozen piece with real time bio temperature sensors to track and maintain the temperature of fat freezing, this basically means it’s a massive leap forward from what was done before.

Any after effects will be short lived but can be 1 or more of the following:

• Redness
• Bruising
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Numbness

There is no ‘magic wand’ and nor will there be, when it comes to spot reduction of body fat in a specific area, this is the closest to such a tool that there currently is.

Is it painful?

The large majority of non-invasive Aesthetic procedures tend to be ‘pain free’. Fat Freezing used to be much more uncomfortable a few years back on the older machines (Cool Sculpting, 3D Lipo, Lipocontrast etc) but since 2020 when the Cryo 360+ came out, it’s evolved to become much more tolerable, people normally always say ‘is that it? i was expecting much worse…’

In the real world what does that mean?

You’ll feel a pinch at the start, you’ll then feel the drop in temperature which will feel slightly ‘odd’.  Around 5 minutes it will go numb and you wont really feel anything until the treatment ends and the suction cup is taken away.  At this point your skin will be a touch red, numb to the touch for a few minutes until it warms back up. Within 10 – 15 minutes later, you wont really know you had it done.

You may feel bruised for a couple of days to follow, which more often than not will not be visible as it is bruising under the skin. Again this will subside within a day or two.

Downtime?

In theory you could go from the clinic to the gym, there is nothing from a rest stand point that needs to be adhered too. Point being, your day can continue as planned.

We have restructured our pricing for 2022 on this treatment, contrary to many other clinics we’ve actually reduced the cost. We’ve been able to do this due to us having a direct relationship with the manufacturer of both the Cryo 360 Fat Freezing machines and the protective membranes used for the procedure. We’ve made it as clear as possible on our pricing page but should you need any further information please do not hesitate to get in touch.
