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 5 different technological advancements, each with incremental progressions.
• As of Late 2024 we have been using the latest and most advanced version to date, the Diamond ICE 360. There will be another progression at some point in time, but not for a couple more years to come.
• The soft silicone and ceramic applicator heads are multiple times more effective than the previous generations of Cool sculpting, Lipo contrast, 3D Shockwave, 4D Cryo & 3D Lipo’s version.
• 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 5500 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 have been at our ‘Medical Aesthetics’ premises since 2013. We are located just Palmeira Sq in Hove, Sussex. Parking is pay and display outside and shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes to find somewhere, pay and then get to us. If you are coming from outside of Sussex/ Surrey, as many do, please allow time for this.

As of late 2024 we have been doing this treatment (in its various technological evolutions and as mentioned above) for 12 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 5500 treatment mark, give or take a couple.

There have been 5 evolutions of the technology since 2013 with each bringing an increase in comfort, improved results and more variations in the treatment cup size. 2023 saw the arrival of Diamond ICE 360 in which the entire treatment cup is a frozen piece made from silicone and ceramic with real time bio temperature sensors to track and maintain the temperature of fat freezing. This move away from ‘metal freezing’ ensures that there can be no real harm caused to the skin, basically this means it’s a massive leap forward from what was done before.

Any after affects 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 2023 when the Diamond ICE 360 came out, Fat Freezing has 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 2024 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 Diamond ICE 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.
