We talk to Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, Medical Director of Radium Medical Aesthetics, who tells us more about fat freeze treatment - an amazing non-surgical fat loss procedure.

Fat Freeze: Safe, Effective Fat Loss Treatment

Fat freeze treatment is a non-invasive procedure that works by selectively freezing the fat tissue, without harming the surrounding healthy tissue and other components of the skin. The medical term for this treatment is called ‘cryolipolysis’. 

A probe is used to create a vacuum to pull the excess skin and fat towards the inside of the probe. During the 50-minute treatment, the cold crystallizes the fat cells and causes them to undergo cell death. 

A shockwave therapy may be administered to improve the circulation of the treated area so that the fat cells, which are permanently eliminated, will be drained from body via the lymphatic system. 

Full results will show only after about 4 to 8 weeks after the treatment. Most clients see an improvement of about 20 to 25 percent reduction of fat in the treated area after every session.

Does fat freeze treatment damage surrounding cells?

Studies have shown that low temperature of around -5 to 5°C can induce death of fat cells. Healthy cells and the skin, however, do not get affected with the exposure of the low temperature for up to 60 minutes of treatment. 

Will the fat cells come back after a while?

Although fat freeze treatment is an effective treatment that can reduce about 25 per cent of fat after each session, doctors recommend that this treatment should be incorporated with a regular exercise routine and healthy diet. It has been shown that sustainable fat loss can be achieved by people who maintain a healthy lifestyle. 

How effective and long-term the fat loss result is entirely dependent on your body type and lifestyle you maintain after the treatment. 

Can I combine fat freeze with other body contouring treatments?

It is safe to combine fat loss treatments to achieve better outcome. Doctors may sometimes help women achieve their weight and body shape goals by offering a combination of fat freeze, HIFU fat slimming, and TriLipo body contouring treatment.

You should seek advice from your doctor before you embark on any weight loss program. 

What can I do after fat freeze treatment to ensure that the results are longer-lasting?

Watch your calorie intake and reduce your consumption of oily food and sugary products. Weight maintenance is easier to accomplish if you pay close attention to the type of food you eat. 

Eating too much refined carbohydrates, sugar, and oily food can be detrimental to your weight maintenance goals.

Regular high intensity exercises play an important role in maintaining weight. It may help to burn off calories and increase your metabolism, which are key to achieve a healthier, fitter body.
