If you’re close to your target weight but struggling with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, our fat freezing treatment in Edinburgh offers a non-surgical way to refine and contour specific areas.


At Este Medical Group Edinburgh, located on York Place, we use CoolTech® cryolipolysis, a CE-marked fat freezing system designed to reduce localised fat deposits using carefully controlled cooling technology.


Fat freezing is intended for contour refinement — not weight loss — and is most suitable for individuals who want to address specific areas of resistant fat.

What Is Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)?

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction method that uses controlled cooling to target fat cells beneath the skin.


Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue. When exposed to precise cooling, targeted fat cells begin a gradual breakdown process. Over the following weeks, the body naturally processes and eliminates these treated fat cells.


Once removed, treated fat cells do not regenerate.


Fat freezing is not intended for significant weight loss. It is designed to improve body contour in specific areas.
