What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a technology-based treatment which ‘freezes’ fat cells. Amazingly, once the treatment is complete, the fat cells cannot re-inflate. Therefore, this proven treatment provides lasting fat reduction results for those chosen to proceed with it.

Fat Freezing targets different areas which can be stubborn to reduce with diet and exercise alone. These areas can include but are not limited to: Stomach, Love handles (flanks, muffin top), inner and outer thighs, arms (under), Bra line.

The treatment, which was pioneered at Harvard Medical School, is FDA approved and highly regarded within the industry. It is proving increasingly popular, particularly for those looking for a non-invasive alternative to Liposuction or a highly effective way to help their weight loss.

How does it work?

To carry out this treatment there are 4 different machines available, each of them working in different ways.

Some approaches involve heating the machine plates before application, to encourage the fat cells to separate; the plates then drop in temperature to -5c to -9c for between 45 and 60 minutes, with the time and temperature needed for the treatment varying dependent on the client’s body fat, composition of fat, and age.

As Cryotherapy (fat freezing) specialists, of course we have all 4 of these machines. As of June 2020, that number includes the latest and world’s most advanced machine, which features 360 degree cooling with 8 different vacuum cup capacities.

But don’t worry, you don’t have to understand all of that because the specialist assigned to you will select the right one for you based on your requirements at consultation stage.

Our Cryotherapy Machines

Lipoglaze Cryotherapy – One of the originals, simple cooling to maximum of -9
Cool Sculpting – Heat & Cool technology, often seen as superior to some but not always the case (same as Lipocontrast)
3D Lipo – 1 machine offering a variety of different treatments, does include heat and cool technology and later this year 360 cooling, though cup sizes are limited, this is well marketed in the UK.
ISO Cryo360+ – 5 different treatment heads and 8 different size cups. Worlds most advanced, 35 minute treatment time, full vacuum cup freezing capacity (not plates)

We are LipoGlaze specialists

Clinic 33 was the first practice to offer the Lipoglaze fat freezing solution outside of Harley street back in 2013, and have since heavily invested it as our primary solution for this treatment.

How does Lipoglaze Cryotherapy work specifically?

The latest 2020 machine as mentioned above offers full vacuum capacity freezing with a multitude of differing cup sizes and placement options. Treatment duration is cut down to 30 – 35 minutes and the temperature used is a more comfortable -2 to -7. This latest advancement is the biggest that we have seen with Cryotherapy and the most comprehensive overhaul since the treatment’s arrival in the UK. Results are near on double to the previous fat freezing/ heat and cool technologies due to the overall freezing area of the cup with real time temperature adjustment sensors that adjust to maintain maximum results throughout the treatment.

Adipocyte (fat) cells are targeted by the fat freezing treatment process of Cryolipolysis (Cryotherapy). These adipocyte cells are typically rich with saturated fatty acids which are particularly sensitive to cold, which is why this cooling technology is so effective. Other cells, such as skin tissue, blood vessels and the nervous system are not so sensitive to freezing and remain completely unaffected by this fat freezing treatment.

Once the treatment has taken place the large majority of the targeted fat cells will be liquid and subsequently removed through your liver and kidneys in the same natural way as other toxins.

“My weight on the scales has not changed however people keep telling me how much weight I have lost and I have been able to wear things I have not fitted in to for years because I was too conscious of my stomach. My stomach is noticeably much flatter and I feel more confident and happy with my body. …The fact the treatment didn’t hurt at all, was quick and had no downtime makes it even better. I would recommend this to anyone and would definitely have other areas of my body treated.”

Vicky Eldridge - Editor of Cosmetic News

“I had a lipoglaze treatment done, and I have to say it is amazing, they really know what they are doing in Clinic 33. The nutritionist and personal trainer work together to design for each individual a personalised nutritional plan and a personalised exercise program, combined with Lipoglaze do wonders! It is without a doubt the best non-invasive treatment in the market for weight loss. I highly recommend it.”

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 full body stat machine (Body fat, BMR, Protein, Salt and Water content).

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

What are the side effects of fat freezing treatments?

There is minimal downtime. You may have the following side effects immediately following your Cryotherapy treatment but they should subside quickly:

Redness
Bruising
Swelling
Tenderness
Numbness

We recommend you drink plenty of water in the weeks following your Cryotherapy to help flush out the dead fat cells. Regular body brushing at home also stimulates your lymphatic system to naturally eliminate these fat cells.

Is fat freezing painful?admin2020-11-23T13:44:03+00:00

Is fat freezing painful?

As we use a strong non-invasive suction to gather the target area, you may feel a ‘gripping’ sensation initially which dies down within a couple of minutes. You will then experience a cooling sensation throughout the treatment. The Cryo360+ offers soft silicone to increase comfort in the treatment area. This treatment is not one you would class as a painful one.
