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.
