Introduction to the Benefits of Fat Freeze in Singapore
As an Aesthetic Director, I have guided many young adults in Singapore on their aesthetic journeys. One topic that often comes up is fat freezing, a popular method for body contouring. As someone with a background in Health Science (Aesthetics) and CIDESCO certification, I’ve gained a comprehensive understanding of both the benefits and limitations of this procedure.
Fat freezing, also called cryolipolysis, is popular for people who want to shape their body without surgery. However, it’s essential to approach this method with a balanced perspective.
In the article that follows, I will unveil 5 critical truths about fat freezing, covering both its pros and cons.
“Fat freezing offers potential benefits but can also come with risks – make sure to do your research before taking the plunge!”
Here are the Key Points for Fat Freezing
- During a fat freezing treatment, the excess fat in a specific area is vacuumed and then subjected to freezing temperatures.
- Generally, around 14% to 30% of the cells will freeze and die off. They are then removed from your body by your own immune system.
- Fat freezing is perfect for a pocket of fat. You can sometimes have 2 pockets treated at once.
- Generally, if you can SQUEEZE IT, you can FREEZE IT! What it means is that if you are able to hold onto your fats, you can use fat freezing to target them.
- Fat freezing treatments last for as short as 30 minutes (for the latest 360 freeze) to the usual 60 minutes.
- Fat freezing is not painful, although it can feel very cold and numb your skin during the treatment.
- There are very few side effects to fat freezing. You could get a bruise, and your skin can feel numb for a few days.
- Areas which you can fat-freeze include tummy, love handles, inner thighs, back fat, upper arms and double chin.
- It takes 6–10 weeks to see full results from fat freezing.
What are the pros or advantages to fat freezing?
Below are the advantages of fat freezing or Cryolipolysis:
Pro #1: Fat freeze includes a relatively short treatment time
A single session of cellulite freezing therapy typically lasts for approximately 60 minutes, specifically targeting and treating a localized area or body part. If you have multiple locations you want to target, it will take longer to see results.
Majorities of the body such as your back would certainly also take longer to see results. In fact, at Wellaholic, we offer WellaFreeze 360, which uses the latest innovation in fat freezing technology to freeze fat tissue in only 30 minutes or less and with increased percentage of fat reduction. We also offer WellaFreeze, which is the general fat freezing treatment being used in Singapore.
Pro #2: Fat freezing is a non-invasive therapy
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment, during which specialists put a tiny suction handle or probe on the fat bulges of the clients. The gadget progressively removes temperature up until the subcutaneous fat is iced up. During the procedure, the applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling conditions that have actually been verified to target and also get rid of unwanted fat cells in particular areas of the body.
Pro #3: Fat freezing is a pain-free process
Although incredibly chilly temperature levels are able to penetrate the skin and target the body fat cells and fat deposits to freeze them , the temperature level at which cryogenic lipolysis is done is not low enough to create any type of discomfort or damages. You might feel a pain because of the drawing feeling as well as the cool once the procedure is done, that sensation ought to go away.
Pro #4: Fat freezing has no or little downtime
Compared to liposuction, fat freeze therapies can be done as an outpatient therapy. You can go back to work or normal life the day of or the day after your treatment. This is also partially as a result of the reduced downtime or lack thereof. No recovery time is needed, so you can resume your daily activities without any problems.
Pro #5: Fat freezing has a high success rate for fat reduction.
The effectiveness of fat freezing in eliminating fat has been scientifically proven.
A 2015 review validated that patients who went through fat freezing experienced between 14 to 28% decrease in treated areas after a solitary session. Results of the therapy sessions begin to become visible after about 6 weeks of therapy.
Eating healthy and exercising regularly can make the results of fat freezing last permanently.
What are the cons or drawbacks to fat freezing?
Just like all medical procedures, some adverse effects are expected from cryolipolysis. The noninvasive procedure has lower risks and fewer negative effects compared to other aesthetic procedures. Right here are the drawbacks to fat freeze or cryolipoliysis:
Con #1: Fat freezing needs greater than one single session to see good results.
For larger body parts, your professional may want you to return every couple of weeks until you start to see significant results after the initial treatment.
If you are targeting multiple body components, you may need to attend additional sessions to achieve your desired results. The degree of reduction in fat is compounded with repeated treatments spaced about a month apart.
Con #2: Fat freeze is advised for those that are in good general health and wellness
The fat freezing treatment is suitable for healthy individuals without neurological or orthopaedic issues who want to reduce fat in specific areas of the body.
Cryolipolysis is not suggested for individuals that are significantly obese or obese. You are always advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle to maximise the gains from fat freezing.
Con#3: Fat freezing outcomes are not apparent quickly.
Outcomes are not obvious quickly. Because fat cells are got rid of gradually from the body, it can take 3 to 6 months to attain ideal outcomes. Weight gain is also feasible after undertaking cryolipolysis. Fat might be deposited in various other areas of the body. For this reason it is important for patients to maintain to a practical diet plan.
Con #4: You may experience a reduced sensation during fat freezing.
During the fat freeze treatment and a couple of hours after the fat freeze service, you have experienced a reduced sensation due to the freezing. This is because the low temperatures will have a numbing effect on the skin and its nerves. Skin sensitivity will also be reduced. Fortunately, the cold temperature of the cryolipolysis treatment does not cause any extreme pain or any ill effects. The numbness will go away naturally.
Con #5: There may be a need for skin tightening for laggy or loose skin.
Fat freezing can remove fat effectively, but it may cause loose skin due to the reduction of fat cells and areas.
Skin tightening treatments are needed to tighten loose skin for better body sculpting and contouring.
Wellaholic has body contouring procedures such as WellaSculpt which uses advanced Radio frequency to tighten loose skin and reduce skin laxity as well as to manage contour irregularities, which works very well with our WellaFreeze fat freezing treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does freezing fat actually work?
Yes, fat freezing does work to reduce stubborn fat. I’ve seen many satisfied customers at Wellaholic achieve great results with our WellaFreeze fat freezing treatments. The fat cells are cooled to sub-zero temperatures and crystallize, causing them to die. Your body then naturally eliminates these dead fat cells over the next few weeks. While it’s not a weight loss solution, fat freezing can sculpt and contour areas like the belly, love handles, thighs and arms for a slimmer silhouette. Most customers see a visible reduction in fat after a few sessions.
What are the disadvantages of fat freeze?
While fat freezing can be an effective way to reduce stubborn fat, it does have some drawbacks. The results are not immediate and can take several weeks to months to fully develop. There is also a risk of temporary side effects like redness, swelling, bruising and numbness in the treated areas. In rare cases, fat freezing may cause paradoxical adipose hyperplasia where the fat cells actually grow larger instead of shrinking. Additionally, fat freezing is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle – the fat can return if you gain weight after the procedure.
How soon can I see results from a fat freezing procedure?
You can start seeing results from fat freezing as early as 3 weeks after the treatment. I usually tell my customers they’ll see the most dramatic results after 2 months. The frozen fat cells take some time to be processed and removed by the body. Some customers even continue seeing improvements up to 6 months after their treatment. It’s a gradual process, but the results are worth it.
How many fat freezing sessions will I need to see noticeable results?
From my experience, most clients start seeing noticeable fat reduction after just one or two sessions of our WellaFreeze fat freezing treatment. However, the number of sessions you’ll need depends on factors like the amount of fat being treated and your body’s unique response. On average, I recommend a minimum of two sessions spaced about six weeks apart for optimal, long-lasting results.
Who is not suitable for fat freezing?
As the Aesthetic Director at Wellaholic, I would not recommend fat freezing for individuals with certain medical conditions. These include cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. Fat freezing may also be unsuitable for pregnant women or those trying to conceive. People with poor skin elasticity, obesity, or unrealistic expectations about fat loss should explore other options.
