Professional CoolTech® Cryolipolysis

This treatment is designed for body contouring — not weight loss. It is most suitable for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but want to target specific areas of resistant fat.

What Is Fat Freezing?

Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) is a clinically developed fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling to target fat cells beneath the skin.


Fat cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than surrounding tissue. When exposed to precise cooling, the fat cells crystallise and gradually break down. Over the following weeks, the body naturally eliminates these treated fat cells through its lymphatic system.


Once eliminated, those specific fat cells do not regenerate.


Clinical studies show cryolipolysis can reduce fat thickness in a treated area by approximately 20–30% per session, depending on individual factors.

How CoolTech® Fat Freezing Works

We use CoolTech®, a CE-marked medical cryolipolysis system designed to deliver controlled and consistent cooling.

The Treatment Process

  1. Consultation & Suitability Assessment
    A full consultation is carried out to assess medical history, fat distribution, and treatment goals.
  2. Area Marking & Applicator Selection
    The treatment area is measured and marked to ensure precise applicator placement.
  3. Controlled Cooling Phase
    The CoolTech® applicator is positioned on the targeted area. The device gently suctions the tissue and delivers controlled cooling for approximately 60 minutes.
    Clients typically feel intense cold for the first few minutes, followed by numbness.
  4. Post-Treatment Massage
    A brief manual massage is performed to support the fat breakdown process.
  5. Natural Fat Elimination
    Over 6–12 weeks, the body gradually processes and removes the treated fat cells.

There are no incisions, no anaesthetic, and minimal downtime.

Areas Commonly Treated

Fat freezing can be used on areas including:

 

  • Abdomen
  • Love handles (flanks)
  • Inner thighs
  • Outer thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Back fat
  • Bra bulge
  • Double chin (subject to suitability)

Not all areas are suitable for every individual, which is why consultation is essential.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?

Fat freezing treatment is typically suitable for:

  • Individuals close to their goal weight
  • Those with pinchable, localised fat
  • Clients seeking non-surgical body contouring
  • Individuals maintaining a stable lifestyle

It is not suitable for:

 

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
  • People with certain cold-sensitivity conditions
  • Those seeking significant weight loss

A consultation is required to determine suitability.

What is Fat Freezing (Cool Sculpting/Cool Tech)?

In today’s day and age, you don’t need to go through surgical liposuction to achieve the body goals that you desire – Book a consultation today and see how we can sculpt your body into the shape you want. Say goodbye to unwanted and stubborn fat today.

 

How does it work?

This hand-piece uses vacuum pressure and freezing technology to target the deeper and tricky to shift layers of fat in your problem areas, without affecting the collagen or elasticity in the skin.


Once frozen, the body’s lymphatic system works to remove and reduce the stimulated fat cells from the problem areas. This is a process called cryolipolysis. The fact that this technology stimulates a natural process means that your figure can naturally adjust to these changes and produce long-lasting results. 

What technology do we use?

At Este Medical, we use the CoolTech and Cool Sculpting procedure, which was scientifically developed to get rid of stubborn fat from problem areas.


The method is an alternative to lipo and works by freezing fat tissue from the outside of the body using a specially designed hand-piece.

When Will I See Results?

Fat freezing results develop gradually.
 
  • Weeks 2–4: Subtle early changes may appear.
  • Weeks 6–8: Visible fat reduction becomes more noticeable.
  • Week 12: Full results are typically seen.
Some individuals require more than one treatment depending on fat thickness and desired outcome.
Is Fat Freezing Safe?
Cryolipolysis is a widely used non-invasive fat reduction method.
 
Because it is non-surgical:
 
  • No general anaesthetic is required
  • No incisions are made
  • Normal activities can usually resume immediately
Temporary side effects may include:
 
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Numbness
  • Tenderness
These effects are generally mild and resolve naturally.
 
A rare side effect known as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) has been reported in a small number of cases worldwide. This is discussed during consultation as part of informed consent.

Fat freezing is suitable for individuals seeking non-surgical body contouring with minimal downtime.


Surgical procedures such as liposuction involve anaesthesia, recovery time, and higher procedural risk.


The right treatment depends on individual goals and body composition.

FAQ's

Does fat freezing really work?
Yes. Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) works by targeting fat cells with controlled cooling. The body gradually processes and removes the treated fat cells over several weeks. Results vary depending on the individual, treatment area, and lifestyle.
Most people feel strong cold and suction during the first few minutes. The area typically becomes numb, making the rest of the session comfortable. Discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
Some clients are satisfied after one session per area, while others may benefit from two or more sessions depending on fat thickness and desired contouring. A consultation helps determine a personalised treatment plan.

Treated fat cells are permanently reduced. However, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight supports long-term results.

A typical session lasts between 45 and 70 minutes per applicator cycle, depending on the treatment area and number of applicators used.
Fat freezing is not a weight-loss treatment. It is designed to reduce localised stubborn fat and improve body contour in specific areas.
Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) reduces stubborn fat cells using controlled cooling. Emsculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions and improve muscle tone. Fat freezing focuses on fat reduction, while Emsculpt focuses on muscle building and toning.
In some cases, fat freezing and Emsculpt can be combined as part of a structured body contouring plan. Fat freezing targets stubborn fat, while Emsculpt enhances muscle tone. A consultation is required to determine suitability.
Pricing varies depending on the area treated, number of applicators required, and sessions recommended. A consultation provides an accurate quote based on individual goals.
